The topic of the former president’s inflammatory accusation came midway through the CNN correspondent’s live interview during the 8 am Eastern hour. Crowley had first asked Carter about the revamp of his presidential museum and library. Before turning to the Obama/race issue, she also prompted Mrs. Carter, who was also present, to comment on the future of mental health care.
Carter was clearly defensive about his allegation when Crowley brought it up. The correspondent put her question this way: “Mr. President, let me ask you first- domestically, you made some remarks recently about how you felt about the protesters that were protesting against President Obama. You said, overall, you thought the protesters were upset that there was a black president, that there was racism involved.” The former president interrupted, “By the way, that’s not what I said.”
The Democrat continued that “I said, those on the fringe element that had vituperative personal attacks on President Obama- those were the ones that I included.” Crowley attempted to read her paraphrase again, but Carter shot back, “No, it wasn’t. If you read the remarks carefully, you’ll see that’s not what I said. I said those that had a personal vituperative attack [sic] on- on President Obama as a person- that was tinged with racism, but I recognize that people who disagree with him on health care or the environment, things like that- the vast majority of those are not tinged by racism.”
That’s not what you said the first time around, Mr. Carter. MRC’s Brent Baker transcribed the key portion from the interview in question from NBC Nightly News on September 15:
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.
Crowley replied to Carter’s version of what he said, “So you think they were taken out of context. You didn’t mean that most of those protesters out there were racist.” Carter answered, “I meant exactly what I said. That I actually said, if you look at the transcript, is just what I just repeated to you.”
Well, the transcript is above for all to see. Carter might be confusing his comments to NBC with what he said at Emory University on September 17: “When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds.” Crowley moved on to the subject of Iran after Carter’s remark about the transcript, so she didn’t press the matter further.
Walter Williams rebuked Carter and those who agreed with his race charge in his September 30 column for the Investor’s Business Daily:
“Obama’s presidency is truly a remarkable commentary on...how far we’ve come in resolving matters of race....For the nation as a whole, he managed to win 53% of the popular vote and 365 of Electoral College votes when he only needed 270 to win. So now Carter...and other race-carders want us to believe that the massive discontent with Obama is racism. I say nonsense!...Americans should disavow and not fall prey to the racial rope-a-dope being played on us by the nation’s race hustlers.”
The transcript of the relevant portion of Crowley’s interview of Carter, which began 13 minutes into the 8 am Eastern hour of Thursday’s American Morning:
CROWLEY: Mr. President, let me ask you first- domestically, you made some remarks recently about how you felt about the protesters that were protesting against President Obama. You said, overall, you thought the protesters were upset that there was a black president, that there was racism involved. You said that many people-
J. CARTER: By the way, that’s not what I said.
CROWLEY: Okay.
J. CARTER: I said, those on the fringe element that had vituperative personal attacks on President Obama- those were the ones that I included, but I recognized-
CROWLEY: I think your first remarks were that overall-
J. CARTER: No, it wasn’t. If you read the remarks carefully, you’ll see that’s not what I said. I said those that had a personal vituperative attack [sic] on- on President Obama as a person- that was tinged with racism, but I recognize that people who disagree with him on health care or the environment, things like that- the vast majority of those are not tinged by racism.
CROWLEY: So you think they were taken out of context. You didn’t mean that most of those protesters out there were racist-
J. CARTER: I meant exactly what I said. That I actually said, if you look at the transcript, is just what I just repeated to you.

Fox News is about the only one I know of that does that, Chris Wallace and some of the others would have the transcript, video, everything to back that up that a statement was said, and the person in question would look at them in the face and say "Nope, I didn't say that, it was taken out of context" but they would get challenged at least. On the other stations, that doesn't happen.

Here's what those "intelligent" people always forget: A truly intelligent person would select words that others could quickly, and easily, understand. They would use a word, not because it sounds impressive, but because that word will covey a particular meaning to the greatest number of people.

What amazes me about these sly, forked tongue...
October 1, 2009 - 14:31 ET by stage9politicians is that no one really is comapring Mahri Obama to Hitler's genocidal insanity. What they are saying when they compare him to Hitler are HIS POLICIES and how they PARALLEL Hitler's policies in the early years of his rise to power.
Hitler was a National Socialist for crying out loud! (National Socialist German Workers’ Party) His fascism didn't rear its ugly head until he had laid the groundwork eliminating all resistence. Otherwise Hitler never would've gained power! He had to manipulate and lie to get there.
Many of the same policies Hitler espoused Obama is putting forth as well. Not to mention the sickening adulation many of his followers hold towards him. This is where the comparison comes in. We hope to God he isn't so maniacal that he would do what Hitler did to the Jews, but I don't think anyone is saying that anyway.
But even IF someone WERE to hypothetically "seize power"...do you really think they will raise it up under a banner of "nazism" or "socialsm"? Of course not. That would raise too many red flags.
That doesn't mean that it isn't at its essence "socialism" what Mahri Obama is doing.

However, it is startling that, after his error was pointed out by me and acknowledged by Cool, you would persist with the misinterpretation. From the first through the twelfth grades, I attended public schools in a small southern town. What's your excuse?
Then you claimed I was of by 25 trillion. Close. I claimed that according to the conservative Heritage Foundation, you had exaggerated the dollar figure by approximately 25 trillion.

Now, even liberal math would put it close to 40 trillion. You not only debauch the science of mathematics, but do a disservice to your fellow conservatives
But you are a liberal, and math is not your strong suit. On the contrary--and admittedly much to my surprise--according to aptitude testing, math IS my strong suit.
But, just to make your life a little easier and to make the little feller feel better.... Don't bother. I'm getting all the enjoyment I need by ripping your infantile post to shreds.

Not one bit of a care
October 1, 2009 - 20:33 ET by jaywlThese people have had such a free rein with the truth they just don't give a damn. Even if caught on tape telling the Pope to his face abortion is moral, if asked they would swear it was a question or said immoral or something, even doctored tapes. The MSM would forget about it, they don't care about it and the libs say anything they want.
Jimmy Carter / blithering idiot / jxckxss / lunatic / buffoon
October 1, 2009 - 21:02 ET by Free StinkerI can deny all I want, yet I'm pretty sure I've given my opinion that he fits all of the above.
I agree with all your "denials" : )

Carter is, and was, a freakin', moonbat, lyin', disgusting racist etc. fool! Yep! : )

Fortunately, I don't really
October 1, 2009 - 21:03 ET by RR GOPFortunately, I don't really care much what he has to say about anything. But, unlike back in the late '70s I can actually do what I could only have dreamed of back then and post in a public forum that he's jerko@@.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
Why Deny It? Even Bill Cosby Agrees He's Absolutely Right...
October 2, 2009 - 00:01 ET by The7SticksEver heard of the term "a broken clock can be right twice a day?" Well, maybe a broken Carter can be right twice a century. He's for the most part right that some of President Obama's critics are motivated by racism. I disagree That Rep. Wilson was one of them, but for the most part, the majority of Obama birthers and some townhall and TEA party protesters have had some racial fear of the president by using terms like "Marxist", "Socialist", or "Communist." Those words are rooted in the history of black radicalism, as I have explained time and time before, and that's the likely reason why Bill Cosby, of all people, agrees with former President Carter. If you can't believe Bill Cosby, then who can you believe?
Sticks my dear Troll, I have
