Rich,
Many accounts of Carter’s remarks, including the AP story posted in the Corner, take the edge off what he said (perhaps because he made comments yesterday in more than one venue). Ditto the Drudge headline, “Carter claims racist tone.”
IMO, any account that omits the word “overwhelming” is not doing justice to the full virulence of Carter’s comments.
CNN>> “I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African-American,” Carter told NBC News.
