It never ceases to astound me how Jimmy Carter manages to always support the worst scum on the planet and he's lauded as some kind of great humanitarian. His support for thugs and killers has resulted in the deaths of multitudes and yet he's seen as some kindly man building homes for the poor [aka Habitat for Humanity].
Carter has supported the Ayatollah Khomeini, Daniel Ortega, Fidel and Raul Castro, Robert Mugabe, Nelson Mandela, Hugo Chavez, and now Barack Obama. Quite a rogue's gallery, but it's never mentioned.
