Very contradictory statement, sounds to me like you are saying: "I know he is allowed to say anything, but he better not say anything that I deem is hurtful."
To me this isn't about the context of what Carter said, because I don't allow anyone to influence my opinion based on just who they are or what office they hold. I base my opinion on my knowledge, what facts on both sides I can get, and the opinion of people I respect, and again that doesn't mean just because he held an office I respect his views, more than another's or because he is from my party, I respect his views more than another's or or because he suffers from mental issues, or is/was a convict I don't respect his views, less than another's.
In other words, what Carter said doesn't change my mind on this issue, or for that matter even add to my opinion on the issue. Basically because, I truly don't find what Carter said to be of any use in forming my opinion.
To me this is the Limbaugh GOP'er trying to cry about how someone, people may respect and value the opinion of, disagrees with their views and how that person should not have the right ..... oops..... that person should not say what they feel they need to, because it puts forth a differing view.
