ABC and NBC on Tuesday night joined the effort to undermine the anti-Obama tea party participants by smearing them as racists as ABC framed a story around the proposition “some prominent Obama supporters are now saying” the opposition to Obama is “driven, in part, by a refusal to accept a black President,” while NBC anchor Brian Williams touted how “former President Carter spoke up and spoke out about” the supposed racism. Williams alleged “a certain number of signs and images at last weekend's big tea party march in Washington and at other recent events have featured racial and other violent themes and President Carter today said he is extremely worried by it.” (MP3 audio of Williams, Video below)
With “OUT OF LINE?” on screen beneath what appeared to be pictures from the August town halls, ABC anchor Charles Gibson set up the piece from Dan Harris who recited a litany of liberal presumptions:
They've waved signs likening President Obama to Hitler and the devil, raised questions about whether he was really born in this country, falsely accused him of planning to set up death panels, decried his speech to students as indoctrination and called him everything from a fascist to a socialist to a communist. And all that was before Mr. Obama's speech was interrupted by a Representative who once fought to keep the Confederate flag waving over the South Carolina state house. Add it all up, and some prominent Obama supporters are now saying that it paints a picture of an opposition driven, in part, by a refusal to accept a black President. (MP3 audio, Video below)
Harris noted that conservatives “point out that President George W. Bush was also called a Nazi and a fascist and was booed by Democrats during a State of the Union speech and labeled a liar on the floor of Congress.” Unsaid, back then ABC News didn't feature stories aimed at tarring Bush's harshest critics.
“This morning in Atlanta, former President Carter spoke up and spoke out about what he has seen emerging in some of the public protests against President Obama,” Williams announced in touting his “exclusive” session with Carter:
During the interview, we talked about what some see as a heightened climate of racial and other hate speech since the election of President Obama. A certain number of signs and images at last weekend's big tea party march on Washington and at other recent events have featured racial and other violent themes and President Carter today said he is extremely worried by it.
As Williams spoke, viewers saw clips of anti-Obama protesters holding signs, but I saw nothing “violent” or even “racial,” though the reference to Hitler is questionable. The signs:
“Bury ObamaCare with Kennedy”
“Change We Don't Believe In”
“Hitler Gave Good Speeches Too”
“Just Say No to Socialized Medicine”
“Throw All of the Bums Out”
Carter asserted “an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American” and “that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance and grieves me and concerns me very deeply.”
Williams highlighted how Carter “went on to say that because of President Obama's personal qualities, he will be able to quote, 'triumph over the racist attitude that is the basis for the negative environment that we see so vividly demonstrated in public affairs in recent days,' end of quote.”
(MSNBC's Countdown promoted Carter's comments as “Breaking News.”)
On Monday night, CNN pursued the same agenda to discredit Obama's critics. Check my NewsBusters item, “CNN's Situation Room Charges: 'Racial Tinge to Tea Movement'”
From the Tuesday, September 15 World News on ABC, following Jonathan Karl's story on the House's reprimand of Congressman Joe Wilson:
CHARLES GIBSON: And the polarization in the House of Representatives, which Jon mentioned, is reflected far beyond Capitol Hill. Political discontent is part of the fabric of this country. But at town halls and public rallies, President Obama has been called much more than a liar. Here's Dan Harris.DAN HARRIS: They've waved signs likening President Obama to Hitler and the devil, raised questions about whether he was really born in this country, falsely accused him of planning to set up death panels, decried his speech to students as indoctrination and called him everything from a fascist to a socialist to a communist.
WOMAN, AT TOWN HALL, TO SENATOR SPECTER: We don't want this country turning into Russia.
HARRIS: And all that was before Mr. Obama's speech was interrupted by a Representative who once fought to keep the Confederate flag waving over the South Carolina state house. Add it all up, and some prominent Obama supporters are now saying that it paints a picture of an opposition driven, in part, by a refusal to accept a black President.
U.S. REP. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON (D-TX): They now see that this might be the same old racism that has steered the policies in this country for years.
HARRIS: With one pastor in Arizona now publicly hoping for the President's demise-
AUDIO OF STEVEN ANDERSON: I'm going to pray that he dies and goes to hell.
HARRIS: -And people showing up at his events with firearms, there is real fear for his safety.
U.S. REP. BARBARA LEE (D-CA): Hate speech can turn into hate crimes.
HARRIS: Conservatives say Obama backers are playing the race card.
ROGER CLEGG, PRESIDENT, CENTER FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY: It's a classic case of calling wolf.
HARRIS: They point out that President George W. Bush was also called a Nazi and a fascist and was booed by Democrats during a State of the Union speech and labeled a liar on the floor of Congress. Conservatives argue this is a nation built on dissent, and that opposition to the current President is based on substantive disagreement over issues like health care.
CLEGG: I just think that it's very wrong-headed and unfair to suggest that the Americans who oppose some of these proposals are doing so because of race.
HARRIS: The White House is trying very hard not to be pulled into this debate.
ROBERT GIBBS, ON CNN: I don't think the President believes that people are upset because of the color of his skin.
HARRIS: Mr. Obama's election was hailed as a new chapter in American race relations. It's becoming increasingly clear that this new chapter may not yet be fully written. Dan Harris, ABC News, New York.
Williams teased NBC Nightly News: “Here in Washington and around the country how much of the current political fireworks show is about race? Tonight, a former President weighs in.”
The subsequent segment:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: This morning in Atlanta, former President Carter spoke up and spoke out about what he has seen emerging in some of the public protests against President Obama. We were in Atlanta to interview President Carter, at the Carter Center, for air at a later date in connection with his upcoming 85th birthday. During the interview, we talked about what some see as a heightened climate of racial and other hate speech since the election of President Obama. A certain number of signs and images at last weekend's big tea party march in Washington and at other recent events have featured racial and other violent themes and President Carter today said he is extremely worried by it.
FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER: I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American. I live in
the south and I've seen the south come a long way and I've seen the rest of the country that shared the south's attitude toward minority groups, at that time particularly African-Americans, that that racism [unintelligible word] still exists. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of belief among many white people, not just in the south, but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance and grieves me and concerns me very deeply.
WILLIAMS: President Carter in Atlanta today. He went on to say that because of President Obama's personal qualities, he will be able to quote, “triumph over the racist attitude that is the basis for the negative environment that we see so vividly demonstrated in public affairs in recent days,” end of quote.

This is just another sideshow to avoid having to talk about the real story right now, which is ACORN.

Obama is “driven, in part, by a refusal to accept a black President,”
while NBC anchor Brian Williams touted how “former President Carter

Is there a recorded history of failed policies being tortured and held in slavery?

I am so tired of these nut
September 15, 2009 - 20:48 ET by COI am so tired of these nut cases coming out and claiming that anyone who opposes Obama is racist. I totally disagree with what Obama is doing not because of the color of his skin, but because he is screwing up our country. I voted for Alan Keyes and wish he was in the White House instead of Obama. I would venture to guess that the majority of people opposed to Obama do so because he has socialist policies and really couldn't give a rats rear end what color he is.
Why Waste Your Vote On A Supporter Of Reparations?
September 16, 2009 - 00:15 ET by The7SticksYep, Alan Keyes was the one who supported reparations in the race between him and Obama when they were competing for the senate seat. Obama was the one who opposed reparations in that race (my knowledge is cloudy as to whether he supports them now. He might, but I'm not sure.) Anyway, when you say you want to remain independent, that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice your vote to a third-party circus freak like Alan Keyes (he sounds just like David "Kermit" Shuster, if you ask me.) You vote for either the Democrat or the Republican, that's about as basic as that. If you have to hold your nose, do so because you'll waste your vote if you vote for a third party and make Ross Perot punch his fist through his pork-pie hat.

Dumb assed Carter just shoots his mouth off and doesn't care what he says. We know he's a Socialist, so he doesn't count for anything.

September 15, 2009 - 21:38 ET by nadadhimmiI overheard today two young white men, late teens or very early twenties greet each other with the term "racist". Seems they used it as a hip form of acknowledgment. It reminded me of the way blacks use the term "n-gger" as a term of endearment. Proof positive the word racist is rapidly loosing it's bite.

Poor, small, race-baiting children... Including Jimmy Carter.
September 15, 2009 - 22:02 ET by Mike BrattonHow remarkably immature.
You can't criticize Obama on an issue. You can't disagree with how he usurped the Presidency. You can't have concerns about this nascent dictatorship that Democrats--including Carter--are aiding and abetting. Because, if you do, your objections are really just a smokescreen for your wild-eyed racism.
Obama is demostrating more with each passing day his utter ineptitude in handling the specific tasks of the office. The last President who was so completely unqualified was... wait for it... Jimmy Carter.
Should we be surprised that he's hurling race cards around, defending not only a fellow Democrat, but a fellow member of the exclusive Presidential Klutz Klub? The only difference between the two is that Obama doesn't care that he isn't qualified to hold the office--he's moving right past President to Dictator, where the qualifications are much less stringent.

Surreptitious Surrogates
September 15, 2009 - 22:19 ET by DoktorFrankenCan anyone imagine the affect these constant charges of racism from all of the media outlets are having on the 13% of the American population that is black? I'm not black so I cannot say with any surety. In fact, I could not even begin to make an assumption.
Can anyone take a guess how these constant charges of racism are affecting the people that are the targets of these spurious epithets? I have never been racist in my life and I find that these numbnuts (Carter is at the top of the list right next to Olbermann and Matthews) spouting their ignorant crap to be insulting at the very least.
Note that most of the charges are coming from white folks. White folks in the media. Talk about useful idiots.
Now, we all know that the White House has, from day one of this administration, had morning conference calls with the media. We all can tell from the media's use of the exact same phrases and attacks that they are complicit in carrying out this administration's agenda. This is way beyond just a ruse to take the heat off of Hussein's problems. All we need to know now is why they are trying to start a race war in America.

September 15, 2009 - 22:51 ET by srqvetWhat the libtards fail to understand is the vast majority of the American people (regardless of party affiliation) believe in the John Wayne sense of fairness. It's in our DNA. The more the libtards make unfair charges the more the majority of citizens are offended. This will be their downfall.
As others have said much better, but bears repeating, is this group of commies and kooks in the WH and Congress (from whom the SRM take their marching orders) have been forced to go to the race card much earlier than they could have ever imagined.
The SRM is avoiding the ACORN story because they realize the story ends at obammy. Just like any successful military operation, the enemy within is being rolled-up.

No, when all else fails and the nation is opposing you, play the race card and fall back to "victimization".These people remind me of those whining kids you used to encounter on the playground in elementary school. When they didn't get their way they would sit down in the grass, begin crying and pouting. I guess they never outgrew it.
When are they going to put Carter in a home? He's a danger to himself and the United States of America. Better yet, perhaps someone should give him some end of life counseling.

You Want To Know The Turth? It's A Race Thing.
September 16, 2009 - 00:33 ET by The7SticksLook, I'm just going to lay it all out for you once and for all to analyze here as to why there is a race problem with President Obama, and I will give you reasons you haven't thought about:
One: The term "radical socialist" is a proven racially-charged word because of the history of radical black men like Huey P. Newton, Cornell West, Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Do you think President Obama has any interests in what these people have to say? I don't believe it, so I'm going to say "No". I don't think the people who call him "radical" or "socialist" are consciously racist, but it is a symptom of the same kind of mindset that referred to President Bush as a "cowboy" or "cracker" or some other bull. I'm saying that the same mindset that attacked President Bush racially is now set on the other side to attack President Obama. Is it so hard to believe?
Second: Say what you will about frm. President Carter (even though his name is about as electable as Hitler's), but he was given tough odds to run the country in the middle of an energy crisis as well as the Islamic uprising in Iran as well as that hostage crisis. Basically, he just was unable to do the job, so we needed a better president. That's why we said, "Jimmy, it's been fun, but we've changed our minds and we need a different president to take care of this particular crisis." So we elected Reagan and he defeats the evil empire of the Soviet Union, while Carter becomes a spokesman for Habitat for Humanity. Everybody wins. It's as simple as that.
→ Sticks, you're rambling
September 16, 2009 - 00:37 ET by Cool ArrowI'm trying to follow you, but the meth you're smoking is moving faster than your brain.
Carter became a spokesman for Hamas. He could have spent his last years building houses, but his hatred of the Jewish people was too strong to keep him on the sidelines.

September 16, 2009 - 01:06 ET by TeamcheeserLet me lay this out for you, since you seem a little bit short handed this evening...
How many times did the main stream media make such a big deal about things when President Bush was called a "cowboy" or a "cracker"?
Do you get it yet?
And about Fmr. Pres. Carter... He was given tough odds? Really? that's your argument? He signed up for the job! He thought he was the guy to overcome those tough odds. He was dead wrong on everything, of course, but please -- oh please -- do not use that lame excuse (tough odds... Ha!) to imply that Carter doesn't deserve to be called everything he turned out to be: Failure, Anti-Semite, Buffoon, and President of the Terrorist Book Club.
Puh-lease.
So the term "radical
September 16, 2009 - 01:30 ET by fitzfongSo the term "radical socialist" is a "proven" racially-charged word simply because you've co-opted the term to apply exclusively to a handful of left-wing extremists who happen to be African-American. You might want to check your work on that one as it is clear that you've drawn a conclusion with woefully insufficient support. Fail. Besides, Abby Hoffman, Saul Alinsky, Bernie Sanders, Tom Hayden and the entire membership of the Earth Liberation Front might take great offense to your excluding them from the radical socialist club based solely on the color of their skin.
As for Jimmy Carter: Double digit unemployment, something in the neighborhood of 20% interest rates, massive inflation, endless gas lines, 444 days, signing away the Panama Canal, Castro's Mariel Boatlift poison pill, the toothless Olympic boycott...THE MISERY INDEX. The peanut farmer was an international laughingstock...the epitome of incompetence. He wasn't defeated because he didn't suit the fickle nature of the average American voter, he was defeated because he was in over his head...easily the worst President in my lifetime (if not all time)...until now.

September 16, 2009 - 07:16 ET by AgnosticThat was generally an E-4 and E5 job. Just like everywhere else there were good officers and bad officers in the Nuclear Navy. The politically motivated either moved up or did what they had to do and got out. The good officers did their job and got left behind much too often. I met a couple of good Captains but oddly enough never met what I would have considered a good Engineering Officer (Ususally Commander/Lt. Commander) but just like any job in the world I'm sure there are good, bad and indifferent. That is why it is so important to judge our potential leaders by what they have actually accomplished and the activities in which they have actually participated.

September 16, 2009 - 05:34 ET by RR GOPWeak. There is no dearth of whites that I despise (I'm sure I'm not the only one either) including Olbermann, Matthews, Maher, Garaffolo, Behar, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Murtha, Reid, Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Shyster, Colmes, Frank, Doud, Beckel and on and on.
What I have been seeing, though, is many of the talking heads such as Juan Williams, the young professor guy they always have on BOR's show and many whites stick up for Obama because he's both black and a Lib. Like with OJ, blacks want him to succeed because he is one of their own, regardlesss of what he does. I think that's a given among blacks especially in this country. Just how they see things.
Also, I have yet to see any racist signs against Obama at any of these rallies thus far (and I'm sure the MSM would have found them by now), and I think most conservatives don't want to criticize The One in public at all because they still believe the Office of the President has an air of nobility about it.

“I think it’s inevitable that there will be a lower standard of living than what everybody had always anticipated,” he told advisers in 1979. “The only trend is downward. But it’s impossible to get people to face up to this.”
"Those remarks were followed by his now-famous “malaise” speech in which he unveiled six proposals — including import quotas, windfall profits taxes and increased spending on alternative fuels — to combat higher oil prices charged by OPEC. Nothing about tax cuts. Nothing about finding more energy. In short, he told Americans to consume less, but pay more."
Sounds familiar.
In his final year in office, : Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Misery Index, 20.5%. But even then at 7% unimployment was better than what it is today.
I thank you Mr Carter for what you gave me. I could only buy gas 3 days a week. And there were long lines at the gas pump. And you took an ally (Iran) and gave us a crazy enemy. The American hostage crisis.

But that's beside the point. It's obvious that not all, or even most, criticism of Obama has anything to do with race. It's about his policies, you mindless, lock-step, idiot MSM leftists. And, your "policies."
But you just keep misrepresenting people. You just keep throwing baseless charges around. You just keep showing your bias by denigrating lawful American citizens. You just keep insulting and ignoring "The People" who make up this great country.

Their nuclear option. Since he is intimately involved with ACORN and their hinchman the union bunch, he could be seriously damaged by all of this. So the tactic is to try to bury it and play the racism card. If anyone had any question that Gibson would lie through his teeth it is gone now.

September 16, 2009 - 07:42 ET by vrwc13Bush on Obama: 'This guy has no clue' - CNN
Bush presumed Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee, according to Latimer, and was extremely critical of Barack Obama. Latimer said Bush was "ticked off" after one of Obama's speeches and he said the future president wasn't "remotely qualified" for the challenges of the job.
"(Bush) came in one day to rehearse a speech, fuming. 'This is a dangerous world,' he said for no apparent reason, 'and this cat isn't remotely qualified to handle it. This guy has no clue, I promise you,'" Latimer said.
...I think we can all agree President Bush got it right, and not a word about being black...

Born qualified...well, are we sure?
September 16, 2009 - 08:32 ET by vrwc13...but anyway, here are the qualifications for POTUS:
EligibilityArticle II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of President. A President must:
Under the Twenty-second Amendment, no eligible person can be elected President more than twice. The Twenty-second Amendment also specifies that if any eligible person who serves as President or Acting President for more than two years of a term for which some other eligible person was elected President, then the former can only be elected President once. Scholars disagree whether anyone no longer eligible to be elected President could be elected Vice President, pursuant to the qualifications set out under the Twelfth Amendment.
The Constitution also disqualifies other eligible persons from the Presidency. Under Article I, Section 3, Clause 7, the Senate has the option, upon conviction, of disqualifying convicted individuals from holding other federal offices, including the Presidency. Also, Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits any eligible person who, having sworn an oath to support the U.S. Constitution, and later rebelled against the United States, from becoming President, unless each house of the Congress has removed the disqualification by a two-thirds vote. - Wiki
...so if he is qualified, there are no qualifications of being a lawyer, governor, senator, community organizer BUT one would think that if elected and lacking on experience, one would surround ones self with experienced aides, cabinet members, etc.
Did President Bush? I think he did. Did Obama? I think not...

September 16, 2009 - 09:24 ET by NL207You missed an important element. The President must also be a citizen of the United States at the time of assuming office.
In Obama's case, he must not have done any of the things that can cause him to lose citizenship as defined by the Congress in USC Title 18.
In particular: "(1) obtaining naturalization in a foreign state upon his own application or upon an application filed by a duly authorized agent, after having attained the age of eighteen years; or"
There are persistent reports that Obama was using an Indonesian passport after age 18.

The Curse of the Carter Defense and Endorsement
September 16, 2009 - 08:18 ET by lareeYeah Jimmy Carter who called Israel apartheid. Jimmy Carter who has been rated one of the worse Presidents in recent American History and NBC wants to get that on themselves? At least Maureen Dowd who is hearing things no one is saying can get medical attention. This smells like desperation and frankly it's boring everytime I hear racist or racism it means almost nothing anymore. They could be reporting on the weather and get the same non interest zzzzzzzzz.
There is one thing no one is reporting on that Carter is responsible for leaving Obama with the Iranian delima.
NBC is scrapping the bottom of the barrel when they trumpet Carter. But they are guilty of worse they are boring the American Viewing public to death with old worn out accuasations of racism that have lost it's intent to stop the discussion.
The Progressives in the Democrat Party are bankrupt of any new ideas just old worn out NEGATIVE accusations sure Americans love having Corporate Media call them names no wonder NBC's ratings are where they are.
Hypocrisy much?
September 16, 2009 - 08:26 ET by connorinI love the ABC News "Out of Line" bit at the start of this post:
They've waved signs likening President Obama to Hitler and the devil (WHICH THEY NEVER DID TO W), raised questions about whether he was really born in this country (THE MSM RAISED MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT MCCAIN'S LEGAL STATUS THAN THAT OF OBAMA), falsely accused him of planning to set up death panels (CHENEY AND DEATH CAMPS, W AND 9/11 TRUTHERS), decried his speech to students as indoctrination (D'S CALLED FOR CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS FOR HW'S SPEECH TO STUDENTS) and called him everything from a fascist (WHICH NOT ONLY PROTESTERS, BUT "NEWS ANCHORS" DID TIME AND AGAIN WITH W) to a socialist to a communist. And all that was before Mr. Obama's speech was interrupted by a Representative (W'S STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH WAS INTERRUPTED BY NUMEROUS D'S BOOING) who once fought to keep the Confederate flag waving over the South Carolina state house. Add it all up, and some prominent Obama supporters are now saying that it paints a picture of an opposition driven, in part, by a refusal to accept a black President. ("ARTISTS" HAD MULTIPLE FICTIONAL ACCOUNTS OF THE DEATH AND/OR INJURY OF W WHILE HE WAS THE CURRENT PRESIDENT)
I just find it hilarious that anything that was done before against a Republican but was OK is now VERBOTEN under our current leader, yet W is supposedly the fascist.
Worth repeating..

September 16, 2009 - 09:34 ET by billbI can't imagine the disapointment of the Black population of this country that stood their ground and fought for equal rights, sometimes giving their lives in the struggle, to see their efforts delegitimized by political media partisans.
This country elected a black man! I don't agree with him, but he is the president. There will be other elections, and hopefully he will lose the next one. The black population is getting very impatient in the fact that Obama has not done anything for them in the short time he's been president. What they need to realize is that Obama's loyalty is to the UAW, not them!
If this country is so racist, how did he get elected in the first place?

I can tell you, but, then it would just be me telling you.
Learn it for yourself and it will stick a lot longer.
While you're at it, see if you can find why barry soetoro is spending so much money to prevent people fom looking at his passports when he went into Pakistan, why he applied for foreign student aid while in college, the forms he filled out to renounce his Indonesian Citizenship, his visa when he came to this country as an Indonesian Ctizen, and all the forms he filled out to become an American Citizen.
If, after all that, you still have questions, I have more search phrases you can use.
Or... You could just do an "american citizen grand jury" search.
That's the group that has issued numerous "Presentments" calling obamas eligibility into question.
But, that may get you to asking WHY are the courts running away from the issue?

September 16, 2009 - 11:29 ET by stunnedtired of liberal lies
When Obama's approval rating is at 70% America has turned a corner in race relations. Months later after implementing a left wing agenda approval drops to 50% so now we're a racist nation. The race card still carries a powerful stigma. The fear of the racist label is the reason for no critical analysis of the Obama or of Acorn corruption by the MSM.
Looks like we've got a Saul Alinsky full court press...
September 16, 2009 - 11:37 ET by lotrRacism is now universally considered a vice -- in absolute, not relative terms, mind you (I guess it's not only Sith who deal in absolutes after all).
Expect more parrotting of this mantra from the left-media as they become ever more desperate to divert attention away from the issues at hand.
