I think the Dersh is fooling us on this one. Yes, he was earnest in trying to keep Carter away from speaking at the convention. But I don't think that an Obama nominating convention would disinvite Carter on its own. Obama, IIRC, has never said anything negative about Carter or his book or his positions on the Middle East and Israel.

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.

thanks justiceseeker93!

[snip] 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 that he displayed both in his mendacious book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid and in his subsequent television appearances. They decided that they, as a party, did not want to be associated with Jimmy Carterâ€™s despicable views. This took courage... [end]

Dersh is full of it — the Demwits do not fundamentally disagree with the bigotry toward Israel. Dersh happens to be a strong supporter of Israel, as is Senator Lieberman, but the overwhelming preponderant dominant view among Demwits is, they support the “Palestinians” and think Israel is an imperialist occupier and police state. Dersh is, as always, acting as the partisan hack that he is.
