"Racially Tinged Attacks" Against Obama at Huge Washington Rally?: "Pity our poor president.

On Wednesday night, ex-president Jimmy Carter made the lead story on the NBC Nightly News with his racism charge against conservative opponents of Obama's agenda. 'An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man,' Carter said in an interview with anchor Brian Williams in Atlanta.
On Thursday morning, Carter's racism charge made the front page of the Times in a 'Political Memo' from Jeff Zeleny and Jim Rutenberg examining the White House's fervent wish to avoid the issue, 'White House Is Sitting Out Race Debate.'"
