Many American leftists have the same goal as Iran - the destruction of Israel.
Israel is a secular democracy surrounded by brutal religous apartheid states.
Uh, Michael, that's not what he got the award for. He got it because he criticized the United States and its President. He hasn't brought any "luster" to being a former president, he has brought disgrace.
If by apartheid Carter means to separate AND mistreat, the comparison fails on the facts. If he means simple separate, then the comparison defeats his own deeply held belief that the 'Palestinians' should have their own country, since he is calling apartheid bad and wrong.
Hoisted on his own petard, boom!
Yes. I took a peek at the comments following the article on Slate. They overwhemlingly reject Kinsleys argument, call Kinsley a traitor, or moron; or both.
HE also has the worst mouth and lips - needs braces!
and if Heaven forbid it were to happen, the Moslem hordes would go after them for being Useful Idiots. Nobody likes a traitor.
There you are. It's simply a political campaign to destroy Israel. Those commenters and Ahmadinejad are on the same side.
You better believe it.
I watched an old Twilight Zone episode where a dying, rich father made his daughter and her family put on ghoulish Mardi Gras masks until midnight or risk losing their inheritance.
With the father dead in his skeleton mask, they took their own off and discovered that their faces were forever twisted into what they really were inside: arrogant, vain, cruel, selfish.
I think of those masks every time I see Jimmy Carters face.
You won't find many people in GA with anything nice to say about him. Unlike most folks who mellow as they get older, he's just gotten meaner.
And there is a significant group of old-line Southerners who just HATE the Jews and agree with Carter. They seem to be mostly about Carter's age, from small towns, middle class, and they subscribe to the conspiracy theory that the Jews run everything . . . Fortunately that mindset seems to be dying out.
No.
Carter still has "lust in his heart"......for thugs, tyrants, and dictators.
Good to finally see the liberals distancing themselves from this nut.
You're right, of course. I was pleasantly surprised to see the article's source, and I was wondering how it would be received. I should probably have guessed at the depth of the vitriol; but hey, hope springs eternal.
I definitely feel worse for the peek.
What? That's not why he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It was for his weak kneed performance giving Kim Il Sung a new nuclear reactor.
My Dad, when Carter made his "walk" down Pennsylvania Avenue on Inauguration Day, along with mewling wife Rosalyn, looked at the two of them on the broadcast and said, "what a couple of phoney baloneys" (I left out a few descriptive words from his observations). I thought Dad was being a little mean because the new President and his wife were trying to show the world that they were simply "regular" folks. I was too young to see through the facade being created by Carter but Dad was right on and he never changed his mind about the little peanut man.
Didn't Dhimmi Carter lobby for the Nobel Prize for twenty years or so? I thought he finally got it as a reward for criticizing George Bush and the Iraq war at every turn.
