Seeing the Peanut Farmer in editorial cartoons again is giving me horrid flashbacks of the 1976-1980 years.
Double digit unemployment… stagflation… radical leftist policies being flung about…. feminists on the warpath, demanding the ERA be added onto the Constitution (as if America isnt already enough of a feminist matriarchy)…
Dear God, someone make it STOP! :’(
No wonder I pegged Osama as being Jimmy Carter 2, long before he was actually elected…
GNWachs, putting aside the fact that Republican Calvin Coolidge won in a landslide in ‘24 (thanks in part to a major civil war between the left and right elements of the Democratic party), what on earth makes you think a half-black candidate could’ve even been nominated, let alone elected?
He is not half black, his father was an Arab, his grandfather was an Arab that had several wives including his grandmother in Kenya. So with a white mother, a black grandmother and an Arab father and grandfather..what does that make Hussein Obama? 1/4 black, 1/4 Arab, 1/2 white.
While I was stationed in Riyadh KSA, and made many trips to many cities and towns in the Middle East..most of the Arabs in the outlying areas all looked black…but they were not.
In the 7th and 8th centuries, the inhabitants of the Arabic peninsula invaded the whole Middle East, North Africa then in the following centuries also central Asia and other parts of the world to spread Islam.
These jihadi warriors became the rulers of the Muslim world from Spain to the Middle East. But they did not massacre and replace the ethnic groups living there before them. Egypt is now the most populous Arabic-speaking country (60m inhabitants), and it was already one of the most populous part of the world in the Antiquity. When the Arabs invaded Egypt in the 7th century, they were vastly outnumbered by the local population. I could imagine that the invaders made less than 1% of the total population. Of course that proportion may have increased with time, as the Arabs in power may have procreated more thanks to Islam’s allowance of multiple wives and concubines for rich and powerful men. Nevertheless, we can hardly consider the rather round-faced and short-nosed Egyptians to be the same ethnic group as the elongated face, and long, aquiline nosed Arabs of Saudi Arabia. Ie: Barak Hussein Obama.
Redeemd: Okay, that explains the mop…
wbr: I believe your statement quote is out of context; just maybe…(Hard to know for sure by the way Carter halted, etc.) But I think he was speaking about Obama’s childhood at the time.
It can definitely be argued that Carter lapsed into that patronizing Old South attitude by calling Obama “black boy” in the interview. But weighing that against a full 85 years of his other public words and actions, can a serious argument really be made that he’s racist against blacks?
nospam4me: “Carter hates Jews and loves Muslims.”
5639: “Carter hates the Palestinian genocide of Muslims engineered by Israelis.”

Birds of a feather. Carter hates Jews and loves Muslims. Same for the Czar in Czhief, the Obamination.

Yeah, what would a guy who grew up in the Deep South from 1924 onward know about racism, anyway?

The joker costume is particularly apt as historically it was only the jester who was allowed to speak the unvarnished truth at court.

The one thing we know for certain about the world is it never changes. Obama would have been easily elected in 1924.

A Black (appearing) president in 1924?
Uh, no….
Scott, the Carter years were stopped…economic recovery under Clinton, the worse economic devastation ever under Bush.
So, given that sharp, critical thinking you possess, we need more Bush, right?

dsped wrote in defense of Carter calling opposition to Obama racist:
“Yeah, what would a guy who grew up in the Deep South from 1924 onward know about racism, anyway?”
Sarcastically, I responded:
The one thing we know for certain about the world is it never changes. Obama would have been easily elected in 1924.
I was saying the world has changed since 1924 but Carter hasn’t. It is difficult to express sarcasm in print. :>)

Gotcha, GNW. I use endsarcasm myself. (With brackets, but GoComics deleted it and my first post said “I use myself”!)
Not very elegant, but effective against misinterpretation.
Still not quite sure of what “Carter hasn’t changed since 1924” means, however.

Was it racism when in 1980 the whole country voted the peanut farmer back to his fields of dreams?
McCoy is great, and for those that haven’t noticed yet, in this WH you are now watching a bad re-make, is called Jimmy Carter Redux.
