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.

Absolutely, the media machine does a great job of "cleansing the records" on US figures.

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

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