Bev, dear, racist is the new Nazi/Hitler.  It is specifically used to stop 
people and conversations because you can't defend against it because you are 
then seen as defending racism/Nazi/Hitler.  Kinda like the old question, 
"when did you stop beating your wife."  It even has a name, "race baiting."

And, I do wish everyone had actually LISTENED to Jimmy Carter's talk.  It 
was run again last night and I sat down and listened to it, and guess what. 
He is absolutely correct.  JUST LIKE he is about Palestine and Israel.

A large portion of the people carrying the nasty signs are racist.  Period. 
And he talked about the signs before he made the statement this guy quotes. 
He didn't say a large portion of the people protesting.

And, I'm sorry but this guy John Tantillo is living in a bubble.  Because 
Obama was elected doesn't mean that racism isn't a definitive factor in our 
nation anymore.  Ah, hate to burst his bubble but racism is NOT something 
that is limited to white folks which would appear to be what he is basing 
his statement on.  When people vote for someone strickly based on his race, 
then that is racism also and that is where a LARGE percent of his votes came 
from!

Second, if Teflon wanted to move this country forward his campaign would not 
have had a strong race baiting basis.  Give me a break.

And, no, Teflon has not consistantly ignored or whatever.  Perhaps the guy 
forgot the whole cop incident?  Or the screams of racist at Bill Clinton 
that came from the Teflon came, Jesse Jackson Jr to be specific.
