Jimmy Carter: Punishing the innocent is a crime [Barfer]

ATLANTA Hamas and the Palestinians

Innocent Palestinian people are being treated like animals, with the presumption that they are guilty of some crime. Because they voted for candidates who are members of Hamas, the United States government has become the driving force behind an apparently effective scheme of depriving the general public of income, access to the outside world and the necessities of life.

Overwhelmingly, these are school teachers, nurses, social workers, police officers, farm families, shopkeepers, and their employees and families who are just hoping for a better life. Public opinion polls conducted after the January parliamentary election show that 80 percent of Palestinians still want a peace agreement with Israel based on the international road map premises. Although Fatah party members refused to join Hamas in a coalition government, nearly 70 percent of Palestinians continue to support Fatah's leader, Mahmoud Abbas, as their president.

It is almost a miracle that the Palestinians have been able to orchestrate three elections during the past 10 years, all of which have been honest, fair, strongly contested, without violence and with the results accepted by winners and losers. Among the 62 elections that have been monitored by us at the Carter Center, these are among the best in portraying the will of the people, without violence and with the results accepted by winners and losers.

               : Unfair to compare Carter with Neville Chamberlain

 

 Chamberlain finally figured out appeasement wouldn't work when Hitler invaded Poland.  

 

 Carter still hasn't figured it out.

But  one good thing he accomplished-- giving us eight years of Ronald Reagan:  

1980 1984  

In addition to the high interest rates, I remember the gas lines - unbelievable!

I'd like to say something nice about James Earl Carter now.







I'd like to







I really would






Sorry can't think of anything.

Lol.
Lillian, I wish you had too!

[Politicalities]

Funny. I hadn't heard of Wultz, the victim of a deliberate attempted murder by the Palestinians, until now. On the other hand, a certain brainless girl who was killed accidentally while she tried to defend weapons-smuggling tunnels used by terrorists is a household name.

"punishing the innocent"

that is what suicide bombers do carter

[jpsb]

"There is no doubt that Israelis and Palestinians both want a durable two-state solution"

Still a fool I see. Worst president in my memory, maybe the biggest fool ever sent to the White house. Jimmy gave birth to Radical Islam, Changed our policy of containing the Chicoms, gave away the Panama Canal, gave us the worst economy I've ever seen. He bragged about getting tips on nuclear armament treaties from his six year old daughter! Jimmy would have surendered in the cold war if he could have found someone to surender too.

The man is an idiot and fool of the worst sort, and embarasment to the nation. Used to be that old tired ex-presidents keep thier mouths mostly shut, but not old idiot Carter, he just keeps mouthing the same old we bad they good crap he always mouthed.

[buck61]

Will Carter go away.

No, he will not. I like equating him with old dogs that chase cars.

The ones that chase cars some how have a long life span, may-be because their life is so useless.

If you have a dog that does good and obeys by your rules, it will catch every disease known to dogs, and soon dies.

Carter to me fits this profile, useless and impotent and live to aggravate the he** out of every-one else.

[jpsb]

If you think I am hard on Bush see my 32.

[chesley]

Please. Don't insult the ignorant dumb shit peanut farmers. They can't stand him, either.

It takes an exceptionally educated, sophisticated, intelligent, urbane type to appreciate Jimmy. Just ask them /sarcasm

[elhombrelibre]

The Carter presidency gave us an Iran ruled by mad mullahs, the Panama Canal threatened by a military dictatorship (later fixed by Bush I), and Communism creeping its way up through Central America. When Reagan was elected, Nicaragua was communist, El Salvador was being pushed to the brink in a Civil War, Guatemala teetered on the edge, and Honduras's borders were threatened by Nicaragua. Castro's conquistadors pushed communism in Africa using Soviet equipment in places like Angola and Mozambique. The Soviets were winning in Afghanistan. The Iranian students held American citizens taken from the US embassy for 444 days, while Carter worried about who would be on the tennis court, how far he could jog, and whether he could fend off an attack by a rabbit as he floated on a lake. Since leaving office, he's helped North Korea dodge the first efforts to stop its nuclear program even upsetting the Clinton administration. He's contributed nothing of substance to the national debate other than his own self-righteous and mean-spirited attacks on president Bush. He is the worst ex-president in the history of our country a record that matches his terrible term in office.

[Dog Gone]

You were brutal. Accurate, but brutal. ;-)

[hgro]

Why doesn't this sack of a well known commodity crawl back in his hole. How in God's name was the American public duped into voting for this imbecile.

[OldSmaj]

Don't insult the ignorant dumb shit peanut farmers.

I have done some farming and am well aware that it takes a little more than the average bit of intelligence to do it well, hence I have a good bit of respect for the farmer.

But Jimmah Cottah got sent to the White House by the same damn dumb ignorant peanut farmers that put him in the Georgia governors mansion.

They just don't seem to learn.

But for the life of me, I cannot find one of them that will now admit to voting for the idiot.

Makes me wonder how he ever got elected.

[DustyMoment]

Hamas and the Palestinians Innocent Palestinian people are being treated like animals, with the presumption that they are guilty of some crime.

Jimmah, Jimmah, Jimmah - murder, in any form in which it is perpetrated, is a crime.

Take the peanuts out of your ears and put the hearing aids in. Hamas and Palestinians ARE MURDERERS!!!!!!

Why is this nutjob still sucking air and embarrassing the human race!!??
