What Dershowitz is, what separates him from liberals in general, is that he is intellectually honest, at least when it comes to Israel and terrorism. The dearth of intellectual honesty on the left is staggering, and Joe Sixpack is starting to see the disconnect very clearly on display.

Well, guess he did good in behalf of the Dem's. However, as a conservative, I can't get enough of Carter. I thoroughly enjoy watching him make a fool out of himself. His elitist,socialist, anti-American, idiotic words are a tonic for the Conservative soul...
Right on target.
Who’s Jimmy Carter?
Billy's brother.
Mr D: Time to make sure you are registered as a Republican before November?
My guess is that there was some other reason for Carter's not speaking, maybe something related to general mental deterioration. Dershowitz could well be taking false credit for Carter's absense as a Dem campaign tactic with Jewish voters.
“the notorious anti-semite...Pat Buchanan.”
Really, Doucheawitz?
How so, is it because he believes an American citizen has the right to due process before being shipped overseas to his death?
That’s a lot of moral indignation for a mercenary who will defend any murderous psychopath as long as they have money.
“The Democratic Party, and its leaders, made a deliberate decision not to invite Jimmy Carter precisely because they so fundamentally disagree with the bigotry toward Israel and its Jewish supporters”
I don’t for a minute believe this to be true, at all.
The Dims simply didn’t want to publicly display Jimmy, whom they love, because they want to protect the fiction that they really do support Israel.
Yeah, just because he’s punching Carter, doesn’t make Dershowitz a good guy. In fact, I think Carter is a better person than Dershowitz, but your mileage may vary. :o)
Carter may be naive, foolish, wimpy, irritating, blustery...well you get the point.
But, I do think he is a moral man.
Alan, I have my doubts...
True. But I doubt that he's being intellectually honest when he tells us that the Democrats didn't have Carter speak at their convention because of Carter's views on the Middle East. My guess is that there is some other reason why that happened, and Dershowitz is trying to create a false impression that he and other pro-Israel Dems successfully obtained Carter's withdrawal from an active role at the convention. Dershowitz's story makes the Democrats look better to pro-Israel voters than reality would suggest - in other words, a nice spin from his point of view.
It’s curious why the left never turn their noses down at Carter for his religious beliefs but are going full steam ahead to disparage Palin for hers.

You hit the nail on the head. Exactly the quote I had copyied to make the same point, but for once I read ahead to see if anyone else already had.
It would seem that Jimmy Carter is official the Democrat version of Pat Buchanan.
let’s be real frank
what separates Dershowitz is that he is an ardent defender of Israel
other than that he is still a Red Diaper Baby and uses the race, sexist, anti-semite cards with abandon seldom seen
he deserves credit only for Israel, other than that is an asshat
which means to me to be frank again, that he has his priorities messed up.
Preserve Israel ...great.
Destroy America with vile leftism...bad.
He gets no kudos from me.
