The Michael Williams campaign has sent around this response to former President Carter’s… interesting… comments about opposition to the President’s policies. Commissioner Williams was slightly startled to discover that he is apparently a racist:
Statement by Commissioner Michael Williams, a Republican candidate for the United States Senate, concerning former President Jimmy Carter’s recent comments about critics of President Obama:
“I have immense respect for President Carter, but I fundamentally disagree with the notion that opponents of President Obama’s immense spending proposals are motivated by race. As a black man from the South, I take exception to the notion that my opposition – or the opposition of millions of Americans to the president’s healthcare proposal – is rooted in racial politics. It is a sad day when genuine disagreement is smeared by such an incendiary characterization. I oppose the president’s plan because it will explode the deficit, allow further government intrusion into the doctor-patient relationship, and continue to insulate healthcare consumers from the true cost of their care.
“America has come a long way on the issue of race, so much so that we elected the first black president in the history of our country. The president’s supporters seem to want to denigrate the motives of the opposition so they don’t have to actually engage in a debate about reforms that will forever change the direction of this country.
“It is no coincidence as the liberals continue to lose public support for a budget-busting healthcare plan that they have begun a seemingly orchestrated effort to change the subject from the content of the reforms to the character of their opposition. From the former president of the United States, to the opinion pages of the New York Times, a new ugliness has permeated our discourse. I say to them that I can disagree with my president based on the politics of ideas rather than the politics of identity.
“Americans who have honest concerns about increasing government control of healthcare, and the overall direction of this nation, deserve answers instead of scorn, respect instead of reviling accusations of racism. If this president is going to change the tone in Washington, he better first change the tactics of his supporters.”
You’ll remember Michael Williams from the RedState Gathering, of course:

He’s also one of the Fighting Four, so you know what to do.

My (combined) wish list.
We should contact Perry's

If KBH realizes before summer that she can’t beat Perry will she pull out and try to keep her Senate seat?

Nice!
DerKrieger (Diary) Wednesday, September 16th at 8:57PM EST (link)However, I must ask why regarding this statement, “I have immense respect for President Carter…”
Carter is a caricature and not deserving respect short of the fact that he is a former POTUS.

Ah, but he *is* a former POTUS...

And the scumbag race hustlers
red_dawn (Diary) Wednesday, September 16th at 9:06PM EST (link)like Carter, Obama, Jackson, Sharpton, ACORN, trial lawyers, Rev Wright, and every single community organizer have the nerve to call US racist.
We have blacks and Mexicans and Chinese conservatives and nobody calls the “boy” or any other racist names. It’s the so-called progressives who are keeping them down by making them dependent on the nanny state.
Again, ObaMorons: "It's the Policies - STUPIDS"

lol (another using one liners to get people to think (one-liner quotes/jabs) and more here (in PSS))
All of this is the continued extension of what they’ve always down and now the WH is finally discovering they can’t quite get away with it like they used to and are distancing themselves…. Actually, we know this is just another LIE, they want the games continued but are just going to try and play the game as if they are distancing themselves…. We all know it is the same old Race-baiting and Identity Politics to cater to the Politically Brain-deads they know they can get away with it with — thankfully, I think those numbers are FINALLY starting to dwindle!!!
It’s continuation of the Throw It All, See What Sticks….. like with VanCommie…
Either way, the ObamaBinBiden admin WINS… If they stick (read: stay) they are free w/o Congressional approval/oversight to do the Radical agenda bidding… If they don’t, then the Race-baiting, ultra-Partisan excuses, etc, all get tossed out to keep the Uber-Blind Loyalty of the ObamaZombies continued to be held mesmerized by the MSM propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.

tjexcite (Diary) Wednesday, September 16th at 10:53PM EST (link)If Perry does appoints Mr Williams to senator. The Drive bys will see it as a race based appointment for their white guilt regardless of his strong Conservative ideas and bet man for the job. This has to be attack head and known it will be coming even when he wins an election.
