Every good operation needs a fallback. For liberals, Jimmy Carter is the perfect fallback. An unintelligent and manipulable former peanut farmer turned failed president.
What’s perfect about Jimmy is that given the right drink he’ll say just about any darned thing you want him to, and he’ll get away with it, because he is (a) a liberal, (b) an ex-president, and (c) expected to say dumb things. No one believes the things Jimmy says, and no one has to. What matters is that the thing Jimmy was told to say got said, and now its out there, a lie floating around in the dark like Archibald Crane’s headless horseman.
Every couple of years the liberal elite drag Jimmy out of the gutter to tell some tall tale that they can’t but which needs telling. Yesterday, they gave Jimmy a picture of a white guy yelling at a black man and told him to stamp racist all over it in big red letters. A few years before they used Jimmy to rewrite history painting Bill Clinton as the hero who relentlessly pursued Osama Bin Laden[1] instead of the traitor who let Bin Laden go and sold sensitive Nuclear secrets to the Chinese… who have since helped half a dozen of our enemies develop nuclear capabilities. And repeatedly they used Jimmy to call the Bush Administration liars.
Joe Wilson is anything but a racist, if for no other reason than Jimmy Carter called him one. The liberal elite are running scared because they are rapidly losing America and any legitimacy they had left with the ObamaCare debacle after their infantile shoplifting spree these last twelve months. In order to even hope of overcoming their Waterloo, they had to first stop the momentous surge in opposition represented by Wilson’s historic stand for reason and sanity against the President, and when they unsuccessfully attempted to make him appear submissive on the house floor in front of all of America, they had no option left but to fire the racist shot behind them during their retreat. Make no mistake about it, Jimmy Carter’s statement was nothing short of a failed shot in the dark. The bluff is over, it is time to bring the debate back to ObamaCare.
