Bull shit. I don't believe that one minute. Some? Sure. The majority? Hell no. It is about the issues. I think he is very presidential and doing a great job of representing the office. I just don't agree with many of his socialist ideals. I could care less if he was a Martian.

He is not a socialist. People throw that word around without any regard for what it really means.

The fact that so many people believe he isn't American (the birthers), or that he is Muslim, just proves that people will say and believe anything, no matter how much it is disproved. Do you honestly think people would be reacting the same way if Hillary had won? I doubt it. But all the ridiculous talk, by supposed "legitimate" people, is not helping. They should be debating what is actually IN THE BILLS they disagree with, instead of being completely disrespectful and spreading lies and fear and talking about secession and invoking the tenth ammendment, if they want to be taken seriously. Oh, and they should be telling people to STOP showing up with GUNS where the President is speaking.

In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former President Jimmy Carter said he has been extremely bothered by the heightened climate of racial and other hate speech since the election of President Barack Obama. Go to following link to watch.

I know what it means, many of his policy proposals reflect it.

I don't believe any of that.

No, and I could give a shit because that bitch lost and I am glad for that much. I would take Obama over her anyday.

Yea, that IS what I am trying to do.

I could care less about that BS.

Yea, tell those black men to stop showing up with their guns.

I could give a shit about what Carter says about anything. I mean really. He is just supporting his base. Feeling bad for his ancestors who owned slaves. I have very little interest in much of what he has to say.

Not really, but whatever. We live in a quasi-socialist country. Health care should not be something that is "for profit" to the extent it is now.

I don't believe any of that.

I didn't say YOU did, I was saying that many people in this country do, and that many of those people are fueling all of this crap.

No, and I could give a shit because that bitch lost and I am glad for that much. I would take Obama over her anyday.

At least you admit it's true. That should prove right there to you that some of the rhetoric is racist-oriented.

Yea, that IS what I am trying to do.

Well right on then. Too bad legitimate people aren't.

I could care less about that BS.

The point is, a lot of people DO care about it, and they are causing a lot of concern and trouble. And all the politicians who are doing really need to stop.

Yea, tell those black men to stop showing up with their guns.

I've only seen ONE black person at a rally with a gun. But ftr, they should be telling ALL PEOPLE to stop showing up with guns. You can't go to Disneyland with a gun, but you can go to a presidential speech with one? What the fuck is wrong with that picture?

I could give a shit about what Carter says about anything. I mean really. He is just supporting his base. Feeling bad for his ancestors who owned slaves. I have very little interest in much of what he has to say.

Well, he is from the south, he was governor of Georgia, and he was president. He was around during the Civil Rights Movement. I think he knows racism when he sees it.

At least you admit to the socialist agenda. I will give you that much.

It proves nothing of the sort.

But yet you want to make a big deal out of 2 incidents from all of his numerous speaking events. This ain't Disney Land.

Sure, just like he knows Porn when he sees it. He is still a dick.

I find it hard to believe that you think it is OK to go where the president, ANY PRESIDENT, is going to be while carrying a weapon. I can only imagine what would have happened if a liberal had tried to do that when Bush was president. Really. People were being arrested for their fucking T-SHIRTS when Bush was prez.

Here here! and to legitimatize the "Race Card" or to disregard any criticisms simply because of race is dishonest, disrespectful and pure partisan politics. Who is it that keeps bringing up race again? Oh thats right, the D's. and Rachael Maddow.

IS this something new? Were there changes in the laws? Did Obama or the house suddenly allow people to carry guns to Presidential events? ... whats that? no? Oh, then shut up.
