This is outrageous, someone needs to put this loon in a room with pads.
So what are you libs going to do to him?
So now it is ok to say it? Will this reveal your double standards once and for all?
The looney lib party, the gift that keeps on giving.
i think that every rational person would know that carter is referring to obama in the past tense, when he actually was a BOY. you conservative repugs are always the ones who scream about the "political correctness" and how it keeps you from stating the obvious. kinda 2 faced of you, isn't it?
OK, time for context. I just watched the clip. Carter is saying that it was amazing that this person who had so little as a black boy (as in a child) grew up to become a presidential nominee. I'm not making apologies for Carter, and he could have said what he did more gracefully, but nobody deserves to be smeared as a racist when it's not called for.
What a surprise ... the resident GOP shill twisted this whole thing out of context.
I'd love to know if the OP knew better, and if any of those who agreed knew better.

Your posts are consistently hostile and inflammatory. Your bitter edge often overshadows any points you are trying to make.
Take this thread, for example. You start by taking a quote completely out of context and then try and start something by insulting the entire Democratic party.
What are you trying to accomplish? Obviously it's not going to foster a reasonable exchange of ideas. You just come off like an angry person who needs to vent. No one will be swayed to your point of view this way.
Sunshine -- you just heard that TODAY? Why don't you try watching the actual convention yourself and then you might understand the context in which this was said.
Little black boy, little black girl -- what's he supposed to say? A boy is a male child. A girl is a female child. You -- or maybe some twisted radio program you were listening to, took plain English and turned it around to look bad. I think you'd do better if you actually watched the convention first hand and got your information from the original source than to get all huffy over something you heard on the radio the next day.
I am sincere about this. Don't believe twisted reports you may hear second hand, try to get your information first hand.
She listens to "airhead radio" remember...birds of a feather!
