Racism. Sexism. Ageism. Classism. Antagonism.
Let's face it. All of these "isms" exist in the world and most of us have experienced at least one of them. Are we really at a point that any opposition to the President is considered racism?
I have a problem with Carter saying that Joe Wilson's outburst was based on racism because it is false. If Wilson was should be accused of any "ism" it would be antagonism. He was disrespectful - no doubt about it, but it's not like he pulled a "Michael Richards".
