WTF? No complaint of Racism for Kanye? I seriously doubt West would have rudely stolen a moment of honor from a black artist at the awards to divert the spotlight to someone else, like maybe a white artist. But the idiot past president finds an honorable man like Jim Wilson racist for calling the President a liar when point of fact, he was lying! I agree it was wrong to yell those two words, "YOU LIE!", during the president's talk in congress, but liberals can't resist any opportunity to sling epithets and resort to name-calling to divert attention from substantive criticism about them and their policies. They have lost all credibility. Former President Jimmy Carter took a swipe at rapper Kanye West’s behavior at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, saying it was “completely uncalled for”. WTF?

Compare Jimmy Carter to past Presidents and you'll easily determine which ones like media attention. No former President has traveled to foreign countries as often as Jimmy Carter to "weigh in" on current foreign policy issues. Carter has been out of line on so many occasions it's amazing his the State Department hasn't invalidated his passport. 2. No one claimed racism has ended, but you need to prove preferential treatment for one ethnic group over another in order to declare it. Disagreeing with someone from a different ethnic background does not a racist make. 3. Karen would have us believe that our elected officials in Congress are children and the Obama is the Principal to be obeyed. The analogy sounds about right from the Left's perspective but that analogy should hold regardless of who is President. Karen, if you think the analogy holds for only one party, therein lies your bias. If you think that analogy holds for any party, then you need to show why you think grown men and women are relegated to "children" in this very bizarre analogy, especially since the Legislative branch and Executive branch have separate but EQUAL powers. 1.

To think that Jimmie Carter is concerned about being in the media is ridiculous. It's hilarious why so many people believe that because a black man was elected as the POTUS that suddenly racism has ended and we as a country have arrived. Get Real. Would Joe Wilson or any other parent want their children to yell out during a school assembly at the Principal, "you lie"?. There's a time and place for everything. This was not it.
