Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Jimmy Carter Trivializes Rwandan Genocide

The Huffington Post

Last Tuesday, Jimmy Carter, while promoting his new book, "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid," went further in his anti-Israel rhetoric than even most hard-left extremists would go. Asked whether he believed that Israel's "persecution" of Palestinians was "[e]ven worse ... than a place like Rwanda," Carter answered, "Yes. I think - yes."

...the important point is that Carter's immediate answer - his true instinct - is to accuse Israel of crimes worse than those committed in Rwanda. Carter has become so unhinged in his campaign against the Jewish State that he is now parroting the campus activists who delight in calling Israel a genocidal terrorist state and comparing it to Nazi Germany.

Are these Jimmy Carter's true colors? Or is he so anxious to sell books that he is prepared to say anything?

Here's an example of why some people view Carter as an anti-Semite.
