    That’s four of them. I rather think Carter was a good human being, regardless of whether or not you think he was a good president.

      I can’t really agree with that given how he treated Cambodia and supported the Khmer Rouge, as well as other crimes against humanity in the name of “opposing Communism.”

        It’s sad how lacking of recent historical context people have. They always point to Carter and it’s like… frustrating.

          The truth is that they want to see non-white people killed. They support Carter because he supported groups like the Khmer Rouge and they killed Vietnamese people. It’s just racism at its core

        Yeah but if you ignore some of the most heinous atrocities ever perpetrated he’s a nice guy

          George W. Bush’s treatment by the media in recent years in a nutshell. Thank goodness for Blowback reminding people of his atrocities.
