Carter Urges Party Leaders to Condemn Racism

Jimmy Carter has it exactly right. Racism, when it flares up, must be condemned. Fat chance the republicans will do any condemning. John McCain is the only one that I've seen do any kind of condemning. The GOP has practically embraced the fringe, insisting that charges of racism are only a liberal ploy for healthcare reform. As if. How stupid is that?
Republicans are dead wrong on this one. Frankly, I'm tired of this whole debate. There is no debate. Not all the opposition is racist, but a fringe element is, and they should always be called out for being rotten cowards.
