How ironic that some chose to discuss it after Carter's claim that some opposition to the President was racism.

That's not how evidence works. We don't have to provide evidence to dispute a claim that is being made, rather you have to provide evidence to back up a claim you're making.
Burden of proof and all that? Guess such an archaic concept has been lost in the wave of "OH MY GOSH OBAMA IS A KENYAN COMMUNIST MUSLIM" politics we've been 'enjoying' recently.
