Carter Sinks Lower

Rich Calcaterra

Jimmy Carter must think like fine wine he has improved with age and the vinters of the free press do little to replay Mr. Jimmy's presidential history.

Carter took the opportunity to turn the eulogy at Coretta Scott King's funeral into a political occurrence. He of course wasn't the only one to bash the president. But as a former president you would think Carter would have reserved his comments for another time and place. He did not.

As you can read from his statements taken from the Washington Times:

"Halfway through the service, former President Jimmy Carter scolded Mr. Bush for his terror-surveillance program, which intercepts communications between terror suspects abroad and suspects in the United States. The domestic wiretapping followed similar programs by Presidents Johnson and Nixon.
"It was difficult for them then, personally, with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps and other surveillance ," Mr. Carter said as Mr. Bush smiled politely.
Mr. Carter later said Hurricane Katrina was a clear sign that racism is still alive in America. Several black leaders have blamed the president for what they consider an insufficient federal response.
"This commemorative ceremony this morning, this afternoon, is not only to acknowledge the great contributions of Coretta and Martin, but to remind us that the struggle for equal rights is not over," Mr. Carter said. "We only have to recall the color of the faces of those in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi."

It is sad that Jimmy Carter cannot distinguish the difference between interceptions of an enemy we are at war with and that of conversations of a civil rights leader. It is sad but it is not a surprise. Those wiretaps were the handi work of Robert Kennedy who was the Attorney General under JFK and GW Bush of course had nothing to do with it.

Of course the race card was played and Carter dealt a 'Katrina'. The federal government of course was to blame according to Carter for the slow response but no one bothered to place blame on Mayor Negin or Governor Blanco.

Imagine the stupidity and the blind ignorance of Carter and 'black leaders' to link the disaster to racism. There were mistakes made but let us not reduce it to racism. Let's blame the lack of local government leadership for what transpired. Let's blame the unprofessionalism of Ms. Blanco for the fiasco. But they resort to using the tried and true Race Card.

The bankrupt Democratic Party is running on empty so the only option they seem to have left is the 'go after GW Bush' strategy and to keep attacking him no matter when or where. Carter and BJ Clinton bash Bush on foreign soil as easily as they do it here. This ship of fools keep stooping lower and lower in an attempt to regain power and have once again proven to be a classless group of sore losers and opportunists.

It will eventually blow up in their faces. Americans are tired of the RACE CARD. It is played out and it has numbed us into ignoring the accusations. We are tired with the unending attacks on the administration who has gone above and beyond to keep us safe. Perhaps Carter should replay his own history. I think he should have showed much more respect to the King family and the president. I think it is another chalk mark slashed across the democratic party. I think Carter is just another weak face in a sea of slack jaws know as the democratic party.
