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.

These attacks seem to come in three's. Yesterday Gore ranted against both the US and Canada while visiting that country. Today, it's Carter's turn.

Waiting for Bill to unload next.

[Ikemeister]

I see "Jimmah the Jew-hater" is at it again.

[Farmer Dean]

Hey Jimmy,let's watch the video of the Palistian celebrations in the street on 9/11,then you can explain your concept of innocence.
The whole filthy diseased lot of them need to go.

[Bigh4u2]

Jimmy Carter. Never met a dictator or Jihadist he didn't like!

[OldSmaj]

Could this POS embarass the US and himself any more than he already has?

Ignorant dumb shit peanut farmer.

[Dog Gone]

The Palestinians are a peaceloving people, who sit around eating chocolate and hoping for peace with the Israelis.

They love democracy and they love Jews. The West Bank is kind of like the Switzerland of the Middle East.

I love Jimmy Carter.

[Bigh4u2]

"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"

And strapping bombs to themselves to blow up Jews didn't hurt either!

[SE Mom]

What an awful man he's become. Blind to reality.

[tet68]

My god, will he never go away?

I like how the Palestinian intifada has morphed into
the "general public".

Carter would give then drivers licenses and voter registration cards.

[ncountylee]

With American acquiescence, the Israelis had avoided any substantive peace talks for more than five years.

Jimmy's revisionist efforts are amazing.

[Thombo2]

Jimmy Carter-usefull idiot.A classic example of someone with lotts of book smarts but not a lick of common sense.

[Grampa Dave]

Lillian Carter sometimes, when she looked at Jimmy/Billy:

Sometimes when I look at my children I say to myself, "Lillian, you should have stayed a virgin."

Thanks to George 76 for this great post.

[maine-iac7]

Under his reasoning, we should have been feeding and taking care of the German people while Hitler reignedfree up money for Hitler for ammo

[Grampa Dave]

The real history/legacy of Jimmy Carter, the man who hated America and still does.

[Recon Dad]

Being stupid should be a crime. Carter has done more to set back the march of Democracy across the world then any other person in history.

[BenLurkin]

All we are doing is not sending them charity.

That is hardly punishment -- to withhold that to which they a=have no right in the first palace.

"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."

This "effective scheme" consists of not giving them handouts. Apparently, now failing to shovel money onto somebody constitutes treating him like an animal.

Further down in the article is this repulsive little tidbit:

"Although Hamas leaders have refused to recognize the state of Israel while their territory is being occupied..."

Are you aware, Jimmah, that Hamas considers the entire state of Israel to be "their territory", currently occupied?

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

I beg to differ, President al-Carter. I beg to differ strongly. There is plenty of doubt that the Palestinians want a two-state solution. In fact, I'd say that there is very little doubt that the Palestinians want a one-state solution.

Carter, you talk a lot about people failing to treat the Palestinians with respect. I choose to take them at their word. I hear their words, and I believe them. You do not. They say something plainly, clearly, and articulately, and you don't listen to it. Which of us is showing them respect, and which is not?

[Tracy V.]

A-f***ing-men.

They voted Hamas in...They support the terrorists...tough titty.

[BallyBill]

..depriving the general public of income..

INCOME? Is this idiot talking about U.S. Taxpayers money?

[weegee]

"Innocent Palestinian German people are being treated like animals enemies, with the presumption that they are guilty of some crime. Because they voted for candidates who are members of Hamas the Nazi Party..."

               : 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.

[ml/nj]

[nuconvert]

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.

[umgud]

Go Jimmy Go!!!!! (somewhere else, somewhere soon)

[Bubba M. Aurelius]

DC Jimmy's life support.

[modest proposal]

"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!!??

[savedbygrace]

Jimmy Carter - Certifying the elections that Americans won't

[45Auto]

"who are just hoping for a better life."

Sure, that's why they elected Hamas and continue almost to the man to call for the annihilation of Jews. Carter is mentally deranged to be so completely wrong all the time.

[patton]

Carter was responsible for me joint the Army - his inept handling of the Iranian Hostage Crises spurred me to join.

Then Reagon got elected, and they let everyone go right before he was sworn in.

And I went, "Oh, Cr@P - I am in the army!"

LOL

[gc4nra]

SO! iberals treat me the same way when they find out I voted for "W".

[gc4nra]

That's Liberals with an L.

[Sabramerican]

With American acquiescence, the Israelis had avoided any substantive peace talks for more than five years.

Jimmy need a summary of the last couple of years of "peace efforts".

Israel: We are destroying the lives and homes and property of Israeli Jews, we are digging up our dead, we give you a thriving agriculture business, go show the World what you can make of Gaza.

"Palestinians": "We will drink your Blood".

[chesley]

I can't figure it out, either. When I left Texas for Alabama, the very last thing I did on my way out of town was to stop by the polling place and vote against JC.

It hurt, too, as a Southerner and a Southern Baptist, but Jimmy wouldn't answer questions on the issues. when they don't answer the questions, you know what the answers are, and that you don't like them.

[VOATNOW1]

They lost their innocence when they voted for a terrorist political party. And, why does Jimmy feel that anyone owes these people an income? Just another socialist looking for ways to give your money away.

[HarleyLady27]

I have an excellent idea:

Lets load em all up and take them to jimmha's peanut farm and let him take care of them.....

might keep him busy enough he couldn't get anywhere to shot off his mouth, and keep him on our soil playing with his friends....
