Carter has now crossed the last line imo.
oh please!
James Taranto Best of the Web (free online Wall Street Journal content) has a great report today on 14 more members of the Carter Center advisory group, resigning over the contents of that book which they say in part
"In the past you would inject yourself into this world to moderate between the two sides in the pursuit of peace and as a result you earned our admiration and support. Now you repeatedly make false claims. You wrote that UN Security Council Resolution 242 says that "Israel must withdraw from territories" (p. 38), but you know the word "must" in fact is not in the resolution. You said that since Mahmoud Abbas has been in office there have been no peace discussions. That is wrong. You wrote that Yassir Arafat told you in 1990 that, "The PLO has never advocated the annihilation of Israel" (p. 62). Given that their Charter, which explicitly calls for Israel's destruction, was not revised until the late 1990s, how could you even write such a claim as if it were credible?"
let's see the MSM report THIS!
self ping. The guy is a slimer.
That's far more bigotted than anything Pat Buchanan has ever said, yet he is widely considered an anti-semite by the left.
Jimmy Crater is an anti Semite. Is that permissible to say? This idiot's plan for peace will weaken Israel enough for the Muslims (who fund the Carter presidential center) to move in for the kill. Carter either wants this or is too stupid to figure out the end game
Just look how this moron Carter forced the Shah out and gave us the Islam crazies who now rule Iran
Jeeze Louise.......pass the Pepto alert!
Maybe that's unfair to Clinton, but there's no doubt in my mind that Carter considers right wingers bigots.
Excellent, perhaps FR will ban everyone critical President Carter and President Clinton. Might change the tone of the place a bit.
Maybe. But remember he explained he wasn't attacking the "Jewish media", rather the "Christian media" which supports Israel. I think he's just never met a terrorist he doesn't like.
Ok, I wasn't quite sure how to take your comment earlier, but it seems you were "tongue in cheek" sorta replying for Clinton and Carter instead of yourself.
I was hoping that was the scenario.
I perhaps was partially to blame bringing in another subject about Carter (and Clinton) and integrating it into this subject.
Clinton and Carter have basically came out guns blazing for Christians in this thread...
Clinton, Carter to Lead Faction of Baptists Away from Biblical Truth on Life and Family
I sorta incorperated the two into one comment. You were not clear as to if you were supporting their "bigot" comment or just making a remark as if on their behalf in TIC(tongue in cheek) fashion.
Anyhoo, I think we are on the same page now.
Yes they have. And don't forget Carter's way of denying his books allusionss to a Jewish conspiracy in and control of the media and government to benefit Israel. He said he wasn't promoting that standard anti-semitic canard, rather the blame lie not with Jews, but with the Christians in the media and government who support Israel. Just what media Carter is reading, I haven't a clue.
That's funny, Jimmy and Bills Evangelical Church, where you can lust in mind and body. Unless Clinton is speaking and giving autographs, I doubt they'll get 20,000 attendees.
Maybe. But remember he explained he wasn't attacking the "Jewish media", rather the "Christian media" which supports Israel. I think he's just never met a terrorist he doesn't like.
Jimmy Carter has always been an anti Semitic rat as far as I'm concerned. At the Camp David accords he bullied Israel and pushed them a lot more than the Egyptians. The people that surround him have never been pro Israel and pro Israeli survival. Israeli survival is a non issue for Carter and his minions they like Arab Muslims, do business with Arab Muslims like Bert Lance. This and other things make him an anti Semite. Especially since he is a very public anti Israel figure. Some little who doesn't like Israel isn't necessarily an anti Semite
I would agree, but before this book he never let it all hang out. The "*uck the Jews" comment, and his "final solution" comment for Israel had he been re-elected, but these were hardly covered. It's also worth noting after getting 71% of the Jewish note in 1976, he dropped to 45% in 1980, so someone was paying attention.
Iran has been plaguing Israel for decades. And who made sure the Shah (a friend of Israel) was gotten rid of? Jimmy Carter. Of course Iran is a menace to more than Israel these days. Intentionally and by his astounding stupidity & naiveté Jimmy Carter has made life more difficult for Israel
I think you've misinterpreted SJackson. The poster wrote:
They both know right wing Christians are bigots, they consider that factual, not judgement.
This might have been clearer had the poster instead written:
They both "know" that right-wing Christians are bigots - they consider that factual, not judgement.
I think SJackson was simply (correctly) explaining Carter's and Clinton's view, not his or her own. At least that was my read.
Wow... I count one distortion or outright lie in each of the first four paragraphs so I stopped reading there. It's tripe.

Thanks, I don't think it's an issue. Lot's of folks post before fully reading/comprehending a comment.
And yes, I think Carter considers right wing Christians bigots. I'd include Jew, Muslims, Wiccans, et al, but there aren't as many. Clinton, probably not, he's looking for popularity.
