Pretty much. It's a free country. He's allowed to express his opinion. You're allowed to be pissed off at his opinion.
And that's it? Carter says something re ed, and the "whole argument" is about whether he was en led to say it?
I don't think anyone here thinks he isn't "en led" to say what he said.

OK, but that gets us nowhere in this conversation. You're contributing nothing.
We're discussing what Jimmy Carter said, not whether he can say it. Get on board.
Racism will never be dead. If that is the goal then we are reaching for an unobtainable goal.
However, to say that everytime someone disagrees with the president they do so because they are racist is stupid and easily dismissed.
The GA representative that stated that Wilson's comments are essentailly a call to the KKK to begin riding the country side in their white sheets is an example of that stupidity. It discredits their position and sets back diversity and tolerance in my opinion.
Rosalynn should keep Jimmy locked in a closet. The guy is an idiot. Billy clearly got the brains in the family.
Spare ribs in Billy Beer
So, let me see if I understand this...
Jimmy Carter declares that a good percentage of whites oppose Obama because they're racist.
Maureen Dowd imputes the word "boy" in Joe Wilson's "You Lie!" and declares him a racist.
If I post a video of Jimmy Carter calling Barack Obama a "black boy," wouldn't that make him a racist? Which, by the way, I believe him to be. A racist and an anti-semite.
He is the worst decision this country has ever made...
Check it out!
Black Boy
By the way, Joe Gibbs says the President disagrees with Carter's characterization. And, there is a poll out, today, that tends to support the notion that not many Americans do.
I think the president needs to do more than send his spokesperson out to speak to this issue. He needs to tell Democrats to knock off the racial contexts to this debate. He realizes it isn't about race and that Democrats keep trying to paint every opponent as a racist is only eroding support for his agenda.
His health care reform plan is in worse shape today than it was before the Joint Session speech. And, I think that's because of Congress's censuring of Joe Wilson and because of the effort to make everything anti-Obama a racial issue.
Another thing Obama can't seem to achieve...that post-racial America his ascendancy promised -- or, so we were told.
You guys just keep shooting yourselves in the foot, it's entertaining.
Well that clip was completely innocuous.
Innocuous? He called him a "black boy." I've never used that term in reference to an adult black man...or, any man, for that matter.
I'm sorry, Jimmy Carter is a ing racist.
I'm supposed to take the word of one of this country's worse presidents in building economic growth and defending it's citizens against aggression as gospel?
I certainly think Democrats are regretting that Jimmy Carter has insinuated himself into this whole affair. I know Barack Obama does...
Quick Pop Quiz:

Jimmy Carter? Yes, you get another 10 points.
Whose White House Communication Director told the president's most sympathetic biographer -- in a faux South Georgia accent, "We coulda won by a lot more if we'd bin able to stop Jimmah saying so many nahs [nice] things abaht s."

Folks, this man is a nut. He sees UFO's, gets attacked by rabbits, runs around the globe ing up foreign policy wherever he can, and is doing his dead level best to get Israel wiped from the face of the planet.
Someone in his family needs to get him declared mentally incompetent and have him committed.
I love this video clip from C-SPAN...
Comedy Gold.
Frankly, I think the current race-bating by Democrats is a good thing. With Barack Obama in office, maybe we can finally reveal who the true racists have been through the years...I'm sure they'll keep coming out of the closet and projecting their own racist feelings onto anything that will advance the narrative that Obama's opponents are racists.
Then only thing they need now is for Robert "Sheets" Byrd to find the strength to come out and call someone a racist for opposing Barack Obama.
You missed the frame didn't you?
Carter was referring to Obama's childhood. We all started out as little boys and little girls.
Did you miss the context of the remark? Or did you ignore it deliberately, in a pathetic attempt to to score cheap points?
(BTW, the pose of anti-racist avenger doesn't really suit you, Yoni. It's just not credible. Not to anyone who's hung out here for very long. Who do you think you're fooling?)
Nice spin, Doctor.
"...this black boy, who grew up..." Sorry, "...this black man, who grew up..." is more appropriate in that context.
Today...Playing the race card means you have no other arguement to defend your position.
It's like free parking in a monopoly game. You don't have to justify anything. Take it and run.
Thankfully, on 12% (Kooky, far-Left, nut roots, Democrats) of Americans believe the racist canard.
I think they're over-represented in this forum.
you are certainly arguing about race.
Lately, he does little else.
it's because of that dreadful day in southern california.
I didn't start the argument.you are certainly arguing about race.
