Default More Lies from Jimmy Carter
Quote:
It wasn't enough for former President Jimmy Carter to falsely accuse critics of Barack Obama of being racists; now he's added a blood libel. Carter reiterated his belief that all disagreements with Obama are "based on the fact that he is a black man" Tuesday. Last night MSNBC's Keith Olbermann thanked Carter for rendering this "service" during a forum in Atlanta, where Carter said:

Quote:
The outbursts that we see of this scatalogical language -- the sign that I saw on television last night "We should bury Obama with Kennedy," for instance (audible gasps in the audience)...Those kind of things are not just casual outcomes of a sincere debate of whether we should have anational program of health care or not.
There's one small problem with the sign Carter "saw on television last night" with his own eyes: it's an urban legend. As I noted on this blog Tuesday, the sign misquoted by numerous left-wing commentators actually says, "Bury ObamaCare with Kennedy." On Monday night, Olbermann's colleague, Ed Schultz, had the audacity to "read" the message as "Bury Obama with Kennedy" while showing a full-screen shot of the actual sign.
Maybe it wasn't really a lie. Maybe he's suffering from the same mental illness that has Maureen Dowd hearing voices.

Jimmy Carter was a bigger embarassment than Billy Carter
