Purging my e-mail basket from the flurry of letters responding to the column I did about Jimmy Carter , I counted the replies: 10 thumbs up, 10 thumbs down.

I also noticed that while there was a lot of hot invective, not one addressed the gravamen of that column: Carter's irresponsible statement that Americans are basically racist and that's why so many oppose President Obama's policies. They just expressed outrage that I should dare to indict poor Mr. Carter....
