‘False Images’: Jimmy Carter Blames Fox News for Perception That Obama Is Muslim

Transcript via Newsbuster’s Noel Sheppard:

CARTER: And now with the discussion groups, for instance, on Fox News, that are totally biased, and they implant completely false images not only of the facts about legislation that’s passed or doesn’t get passed, but also about the character of President Obama. And they’ve been successful in projecting him as a person who is not a citizen of America, who is not a Christian but a Muslim, and is not a Democrat but he’s a socialist and so forth. And that, those seeds that are planted every day that they broadcast by the discussion, in the discussion groups, have found, you know, harvest place in the minds of a lot of Americans. So I think they have completely twisted around what he has done, what he has accomplished, and his own personal character to his detriment. It’s a small portion of the total news media.

    I, once again, make my plea to anyone who cares about Carter and has influence on him to, please get him to refrain from public speaking or writing. Please make him understand how he embarrasses himself and America nearly every time he speaks. Constantly seeking the limelight to air his nonsensical musings about his failed presidency and fantasys about implementing his failed policies only increases the damage.
    Please talk to him.

      The Democrats and media are shamelessly exploiting a man of diminished capacity for their own perceived gains. Aside from the lack of concern for a fellow human being, there is irreverence for the office of President of the United States for which they should be ashamed. Yet, they roll him out at every opportunity to make a headline.

    Obama and his democrats tell us every day through words and actions that Christianity is bad and that the cult of islam is good; every day we are told that Democracy is bad and socialism is good; every day we are told that being an America citizen is bad and being an illegal invader is good; every day we are told that success is bad and failure is good. So, the question is; Is Jimmy Carter breaking with his lifelong beliefs and the lifelong beliefs of his president and those of the failed democrat party? Would Mr. Carter have us believe that his president is a liar and a hypocrite?

    I guess it could not be thought that Obama is a Muslim because he was born to a Muslim father in a Muslim country, was raised a Muslim, thinks like a Muslim, SAYS he is Muslim and bows down to Muslims that makes us think he is Muslim? No no…..it is his funny name that makes me think he is Muslim.

The birth cirtificates issued in Hawaii during the time of his birth are vastly different from what has been shown.That has already been PROVEN!! Did George Soros print Obama’s “Certificate of Live Birth” on his home computer? HMMMMMM!

      As you know this is the best way for us to further our cause and not appear to be fringe radicals who refuse to believe the presidents birth certificate even when it has been made available to anyone who wants to see it.

      Until the president personally shows his original birth certificate to every member of the tea party in person we will continue to call him out as a foreign communist.

This way no one can accuse us of being fringe right wingers who even when presented with the evidence refuse to believe the presidents citizenship. The only way we will accept his citizenship is if he personally comes to each of our houses and shows us the original copy of his birth certificate.

      Yes, a LIAR, Jimmie Carter is. And a THIEF; he gave away the Panama Canal and is proud of it.
      Carter, like all of the Progressive, Socialist Democrats, says whatever suits his position without
      supporting evidence or facts as he is doing against FOX NEWS. OBAMA’S actions (doing away with the Christian Prayer Breakfast but observing Prayers by the Muslims and PARTICIPATING; attending Church to hear only Islamic Speakers; proclaiming the Quran the “HOLY” Quran but never refering to the Bible as Holy; etc., leads the Thinking Observer to the reasonable conclusion based on facts that Obama is NOT Christian. Every man is Right in his own eyes but the LORD knows the heart. Raise up a man in the way he should go and he will not depart from it. You shall know them by their Fruits. The CITIZENSHIP question is OBAMA’S FAULT. He won’t release his records. WHERE IS THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE? What Nationality did he use for a Passport? What Nationality did he get College Educational Grants? Carter is WRONG. And, IGNORANT.
