What do I hear instead? I hear him make homophobic comments. A woman asked him about the photo of him in the White House with Bush, Obama, Clinton and Bush Sr. She said she noticed how far away he was from the others, and if he ever stopped feeling like a Washington outsider.
Carter responded, revealing his homophobia. Carter said where he is from men don't stand next to each other, touching each other. He was the only one acting as men should, normal. If you look out on (Emory University) campus, you won't see, you will see very few men standing so close they are touching each other.
This is paraphrased - it is as close as I could remember. It just happened. It was dripping with bigotry and showed his homophobia. I will paste a transcript and video when I find them. I'm sure they will pop up soon.
It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply.
Oh that Jimmy Carter. Not much of a President, but I used to think he was a pretty spectacular human being - what with Habitat for Humanity and all. I guess the best we can say is he's --- human. He has faults. He's past his prime. And let's hope he doesn't speak for everyone "where he comes from."

ReplyDeletetoo bad he doesn't grant the same courtesy to people who oppose Obama....
