Since it's been almost 6 months since he's caused a controversy, I assume former-President Jimmy Carter chose to jump in to defend President Obama from Rep. Joe Wilson, so as to give the American people a reminder that Carter is in fact, still kicking. The trick he is using? The race card. Calling someone a liar is now considered a racial slur. The idea that you might actually believe the other person is lying? Completely beside the point.
Fortunately, several people in Washington, seem to be siding with the saner side of logic and are able to recall all the times when other past presidents have been called liars, without their race being called into question.
Is Carter so unsure of the agenda of his own party that he has to resort to false labels to demonize his opponents?
