Carter's alzheimer's was a rumor. And deserved to be discussed.
How ironic that some chose to discuss it after Carter's claim that some opposition to the President was racism.

Not too clear on the whole irony concept are you?

Yeah...how strange that talk about Jimmy Carter only began after he made claims that some criticism of Obama was racism. Sounds like partisan hackery to me.

I'm confused. Does Carter have a disease?

I don't know for sure. I just think the timing is a little telling.

Woo hoo! Ten thousand posts!

That's not how evidence works. We don't have to provide evidence to dispute a claim that is being made, rather you have to provide evidence to back up a claim you're making.

Burden of proof and all that? Guess such an archaic concept has been lost in the wave of "OH MY GOSH OBAMA IS A KENYAN COMMUNIST MUSLIM" politics we've been 'enjoying' recently.
