James Carter IV on redeeming his grandfather’s record by helping to expose Romney’s #47percent comme

http://current.com/shows/the-young-turks/videos/james-carter-iv-on-redeeming-his-grandfathers-record-by-helping-to-expose-romneys-47percent-comments

Cenk talks to James Carter IV, President Jimmy Carter’s grandson and a researcher who helped discover a video of Mitt Romney deriding “47 percent” of Americans for not paying taxes. Carter says he was motivated in part by Romney’s scathing criticism of his grandfather’s record. “Is this a little bit of redemption?” Cenk asks. “I’m pretty proud of that,” Carter says, especially after an email from the former president thanking him for his “extraordinary” work.

President Carter's Revenge! James Carter IV is a modern-day David against the GOP's Goliath. I can't tell you how sweet this tastes. James Carter IV is the hero of the week - maybe the month!

"for letting me be part of your staff (back then)."

While Tweety has mentioned CARTER before and I'm sure even hosted him, this is the FIRST warm mention he has made as far as I know.

I always fault CARTER for bringing religion back into politics, for the nest of vipers at his breast (Pat CADDELL, Carlyle Group co-founder David RUBENSTEIN although he has done millions in charity, and Tweety who abandoned CARTER and us for adoration of RAYGUN until maybe lately).
