President Obama’s Speech Tonight or Political Discourse in America, Part 3
Rep. Joe Wilson, Republican from South Carolina, called the President of the United States a liar tonight, in front of Congress, in front of the television cameras and the American people and most importantly, in front of the President’s wife, Michelle. Can you imagine the outcry if a Democrat called a Republican President a liar on national television, in front of the Congress, the American people and his wife? While I have witnessed unpatriotic behavior since President Obama was elected, I have never witnessed this level of vitriol in my life. As long as the Republican party and its elected officials and members condone this behavior in their silence, their winks and nods, their “oh yes, Rep. Wilson should apologize” insincerity, I call them traitors, unfit to serve our country.
I call out the birthers and the racists and the tea partiers who dare disrespect President Obama, the man who was “legally” elected to the office; I call out my friends who send me lies via email forwards; and especially I call out the racist South Carolinian, Rep. JOE WILSON — be careful. Dressed in your Fox furs, you’re all beginning to look like the hatred you have in your hearts.

I think it is hatred and that comes from good ole southern RACISM. They don’t know how to act with a real leader in charge, and they are lost. It is not enough to say I’m sorry, that is too easy. This kind of disrespect should be censured and not accepted. Do not allow it to grow like cancer.

Thank you, President Carter, fellow Southerner, for speaking out against the obvious racism hurled against our President Barack Obama. Other leaders should do the same and call the idiots out, shine light into the dark corners where they live and watch them scurry for their rat holes, pale faces and whiskers twitching. ENOUGH of this meanness and hatred! Susan
