Leap of Nonsense
Jimmy Carter puts his special spin on the opposition to President Obama’s policy proposals:
It’s official. Thanks to Jimmy Carter we now know that most of the opposition to President Obama’s agenda is rooted in blatant racism. Of course, Carter’s is just one voice suggesting as much. The talking points memo has made the rounds and those defending [...]
