Jimmy Carter: Wilson comments 'based on racism'

MyOwnDrum said:
I'm not one to cry 'Racist!' at all, but Rush has made numerous offensive remarks that could easily be construed as being racist. If feel that referring to Obama as 'the magic negro' is offensive and makes Rush look like the loudmouth that he appears to be.

Rush did not refer to Obama as the magic negro... Put your talking points down.



Obama did say racism was typical of white people.

Again, I'm not interested in debating about Rush. I don't care for him and haven't listened to him enough to make a call on if he's racist or not. And I really don't care because I think Rush is a pompous windbag either way.

Now, moving back to the Magic Negro song. How is it offensive? Rush didn't coin the term, a black writer for the LA Times did (which is referenced in the song itself).

I'll give you the same challenge I gave liblady. Listen to the song in the link I provided and tell me exactly which lyrics are so offensive and racist? Should be easy if its as bad as folks are making it out to be.

You don't need to convince me that Obama has a hang up about race. He went to Reverand Wright's church for 20 years, didn't he?

Here are some of Rush's more delightful quotes:

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

"They oughtta change Black History Month to Black Progress Month and start measuring it."

"Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).

There are more, just google 'Rush Limbaugh racist quotes. I'm not Black, but I find these quotes offensive.

links to them in context, I remember the NAACP comment, and it was not racist in context, in fact it points out the NAACP's own racism....

I agree context is important, but its hard to imagine these two being OK in any context ...

Over a 120 year combined span, Carter and I have conversed with hundreds of people, and as I have said, if you think racism is dead, you are just whistling Dixie.
Do you personally know Wilson ?
I do not, but I have a pretty good idea of human nature; also his track record is not so good..
Consider this .
No Representative has ever called, outright, and on TV, any president a liar.
The Republicians desperately need a leader, a man of quality and intelligence.

I am not claiming that anyone is not a racist, I am looking for real, objective evidence that Wilson is.

Something credible like CNN, NBC, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune. Not a random website I've never heard of.

I do not care what you have, or have not heard of.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a quite well-known organization.

It is definitely not a "random" website.

Link to the entire context, Rush often speaks in hyperbole and sarcasm. taking things he says line by line is dishonest imo.

Is sarcasm?
I cannot think of a context where that is 'okay'

I've said repeatedly, I don't listen to Rush and I'm not really interested in debating if Rush is a racist or not. I'm certainly not interested in digging through his transcripts or broadcasts. Those quotes though, did seem especially over the top which is the only reason I commented on them.

However, you are right if said in a sarcastic tone, that would change the meaning entirely. That would be about the only context I can think of where I would find them acceptable.

I'm still waiting for someone to show me the racist lyrics in Barak the Magic Negro though. I have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time.

I based it off of your logic, so it really had no chance.

Do you even know the definition of "logic?"

Don't throw words around that you know nothing of.

You are a comedian. Nothing more.

Limbaugh is a racist nutbag, and your defence of the indefensible only illustrates how far a person will go to defend nuttery.

He does the sarcasm bit all the time..... His call screener and long time friend is a black man...


Lefties who call him a racist, can not honeslty do so, unless they call Obama who has made actual racist comments a racist, without looking like raging hypocritical hacks.

Please show me your quotes in context. Then explain how Obama stating his grandmothers racism was typical of white people is not a racist comment. :roll:

This has nothing to do with Obama. Not one bit.

Every case is based on it own merits, and if you want to bring up Obama's supposedly "racist" comments in another thread, be my guest.

Stop playing stupid and address the issue.

Limbaugh is a racist nut who has said plenty of racist comments in the past and present.

It is inexcusable behaviour.

It is malevolent nonsense that only the craziest of the crazies can defend.

You are being hypocritical. Do you really think sticking your fingers in your ears is the intellectual route here? :lol:



Tis thread has everything to do with Obama and Wilson. Please try to keep up. :lol:

This thread isn't about Limbaugh either, so you want to follow your own advice?

Is this your new tactic? To take a veiled shot at me in order to pilot the conversation away from your crumbling defense of Limbaugh's blatant racism?
