"Why won't Carter debate his book?"
My answer: He didn't really write it. I think he added a few lines and a few personal stories, but for the most part, it was researched and written by others. That's why he can't defend it.

Carter's presidential legacy is muted irrelevance, and he's desperate to leave some trace of his passing. The fact is, he's such a lightweight he couldn't leave a footprint in a snow storm.

Either that or you are a conservative.

Der-shovel-shitz is the founding father of the "race card, anti-semitic, biased" defense when he starts or gets in the middle or ends or is losing an argument.
IIRC, he was also the one on the OJ Dream Team that threw the race card into the mix.

When 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 Rwandan Genocide was the massacre of an estimated 800,000 to 1,071,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda, mostly carried out by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, during a period of about 100 days from April 6th through mid-July 1994.
For Jimmy Carter to say such a thing, he must now either be senile, an ignorant fool or completely amoral.

I'm sure you two are right. It's almost certainly a ghost-written tome, based on a couple of interviews and phone confabs with Carter, his published speeches, and some ghost-writer input. He probably hasn't even read it.

There's a thought! Who would you most like to see debate Jimmah over his book??
Our Anne (Coulter) would be my top pick from a strict entertainment point.
For a serious debate, David Horowitz would be another really entertaining debater considering the subject matter...
For a Moderator, I'd settle for Rush...but for sheer entertainment value, we would need to have a good Producer for the the debates who can arrange for a wild rabbit to run across the stage every time Carter goes to open his peanut-hole to say anything...
Brang it on!!

Jimmah would happily debate you Mr Dershowitz. In a secluded place with no one present except you and him and a zillion reporters from the MSM to give us (the public) their opinion of what was said and who in their opinion won the debate.

> I have noticed that since 9/11, Dershowitz seems to have come to the realization that as a jew his, personal, neck is on the line now, thanks to the terrorists, and as a result he has changed his tune on a number of issues relating to national security.
Ed Koch appears to have come to this realization, too.
I was amazed at the severity of Dershowitz's tone, at the Boston Globe for publishing the piece, and that Larry King asked the old fool a tough question.
As for Carter, maybe, just maybe he'll get the point that his being a Nobelist ex-President does not entitle him to shoot his mouth off without being held accountable. I love that he is being denounced by all sides, but it would be too much to hope that the ridicule and jeers would drive him into retirement.

He probably figures that, since he's not the original author of much of it, why bother debating.

Every head full of mush crumb cruncher has to defend his/her thesis....why not the former president of the United States?
Einstein had to defend his work, is Jimmy smarter than that?
But hold on....Jimmy lost a debate to a giant rabbit.
