Jimmy Carter: I'll mediate between Hamas & Fatah

Hmm, let me see, that's akin to a leading an extreme Democrat asking to mediate between Iran & Syria to get them to stop causing trouble in Iraq. It doesn't suit any of their purposes. In this case, it only serve's Carter's continued desire for publicity, despite what an increasingly embarassing figure he's coming to the wider public (many of whom before actually supported the evil creep).

As Washington continues a policy of isolating the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, former President Jimmy Carter reportedly has offered to mediate between Hamas and rival Palestinian faction, Fatah.

The Palestinian News Agency Ma'an reported that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh met with Scott Custer, West Bank director of the Carter Center, in Haniyeh's Gaza Strip office. Custer told Haniyeh that Carter, a Democrat, was willing to mediate between the factions. Haniyeh okayed Carter's offer, the report said....

...Carter's willingness to deal with Hamas appears to fly in the face of official U.S. policy.

After Hamas won the January 2006 elections, the U.S. cut aid to the Palestinian Authority (P.A.) over the faction's refusal to recognize Israel, renounce violence, and abide by previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements. Amid bloody factional violence, Hamas last month seized power in the Gaza Strip.

Jimmy Carter: Father of the Iranian 'revolution'

Well, if Jimmy 'Bob Joe Sue Cecil Rhodes Islamic Republic' Carter was the father, we all know who is the grandfather (and master planner)...that sly, old fox of world politics.

Very good & interesting article by Michael Evans. Some of it is pasted below fyi.

It seems this stuff is - very slowly - starting to come out of the wood works. Hopefully that trend continues and people begin to see the reality of this very complex history.

Interesting points:

• Jimmy didn't want to stop Khomeini because 'you can't do that to a holy man'. Holy indeed.
• And the comments about meeting Huyser (a central operational figure in the planning and executing of the coup d'etat) are interesting...not sure he really cried over it though - probably only after he saw tens of thousands of innocent lives lost, if at all.

Left in America is screaming to high heaven that the mess we are in in Iraq and the war on terrorism has been caused by the right-wing and that George W. Bush, the so-called "dim-witted cowboy," has created the entire mess.

The truth is the entire nightmare can be traced back to the liberal democratic policies of the leftist Jimmy Carter, who created a firestorm that destabilized our greatest ally in the Muslim world, the shah of Iran, in favor of a religious fanatic, the ayatollah Khomeini.

Carter viewed Khomeini as more of a religious holy man in a grassroots revolution than a founding father of modern terrorism. Carter's ambassador to the UN, Andrew Young, said "Khomeini will eventually be hailed as a saint." Carter's Iranian ambassador, William Sullivan, said, "Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure." Carter adviser James Bill proclaimed in a Newsweek interview on February 12, 1979 that Khomeini was not a mad mujahid, but a man of "impeccable integrity and honesty."

The shah was terrified of Carter. He told his personal confidant, "Who knows what sort of calamity he [Carter] may unleash on the world?"...

...Carter pressured the shah to make what he termed human rights concessions by releasing political prisoners and relaxing press censorship. Khomeini could never have succeeded without Carter. The Islamic Revolution would have been stillborn.

Gen. Robert Huyser, Carter's military liaison to Iran, once told me in tears: "The president could have publicly condemned Khomeini and even kidnapped him and then bartered for an exchange with the [American Embassy] hostages, but the president was indignant. 'One cannot do that to a holy man,' he said."

Carter gets down on his knees for Hamas

He should be their PR spokesperson. He thinks they're very organized. Well, yes Jimmy 'Bob Joe Sue Cecil Rhodes Islamic Republic' Carter, they are a very well organized bunch of chaps...at murdering people - both their own, and other people who actually have a country. Evil Idgit. LGF reports here.

Carter said Hamas, besides winning a fair and democratic mandate that should have entitled it to lead the Palestinian government, had proven itself to be far more organized in its political and military showdowns with the Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Jimmy Carter shouldn't criticize...

&

Pound nails, not the president

The real issue is, of course...how can Carter, who had a personal hand in ushering in Khomeini and knew about all of the executions that took place after he took power, criticize anyone (let alone Bush) for a foreign policy that hurts human rights? I'm not going to get into a frenzy about this, as it's already been discussed elsewhere on my blog...

Jimmy Carter wins a Grammy Award

Unbelievable. For his latest book, he should get a f*nny award - for sucking the *sses of the terrorists!

Jimmy Carter became the second former U.S. president to win a Grammy Award when he was honored in the spoken-word category on Sunday for the audio-book version of his bestseller "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis."

Carter, 82, shared the award in a rare tie with actress Ruby Dee and her late husband Ossie Davis for "With Ossie and Ruby: In This Life Together."

Davis, a prominent actor and civil rights activist died of natural causes in 2005, aged 87.

Jimmy Carter & Friends - by Cox & Forkum

Jimmy Carter tries to defend his book at Brandeis University

"Okay, okay, I admit it. I hate Jews and America, and prefer to spend my time with despots and dictators. But, I'm deeply hurt that anyone would criticize me."

- JC

Jimmy 'bob joe sue cecil rhodes islamic republic' Carter tried to defend his ridiculous book yesterday at Brandeis. You can find some excerpts from a Fox News report on the event below. I think he is vastly under-estimating the huge negative reaction that his book has sparked amongst the general American public and specificly the online community. It just shows how out of touch this scumbag really is.

"I've been hurt and so has my family by some of the reaction," Carter said during an appearance at Brandeis University, a nonsectarian Jewish-founded college in the Boston suburb of Waltham, Mass. "This is the first time that I've ever been called a liar and a bigot and an anti-Semite and a coward and a plagiarist. This has hurt me." ...

...Carter added that the critics of his book are an "extreme minority" and he was "willing to face the accusations." He added that he believes peace could be achieved in the Middle East if Israel withdraws from their own territory and lets "the Palestinians have a viable and contiguous state of their own, living side-by-side in peace." ...

...A student-led effort helped facilitate an agreement to allow a rebuttal from Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, a harsh critic of Carter's. Despite having been booted from the earlier booking to debate Carter on his assertions, Dershowitz stepped on stage after Carter to say he is not an honest broker for the Middle East, but instead is pushing Palestinians to reject a reasonable peace agreement.

“President Carter makes it seem so simple. It’s not so simple. And experience shows how complicated it is,” Dershowitz said. “I’m afraid that those simplicities are not really conducive to an enduring peace.” ...

...Carter reportedly refused to debate Dershowitz because, he claimed, the Jewish law professor "knows nothing about the situation in Palestine."

“I think the inaccuracies of Carter’s points have to be pointed out. Carter said he wrote the book in order to stimulate a debate, but he won’t debate. I’m debating him whether he’s there or not,” Dershowitz told FOXNews.com last week.

Jimmy Carter's Cash

Good article on the NRO about JC's finances. I've posted some of the article below for your convenience.

In recent weeks, a number of articles have noted that Carter’s anti-Israeli views coincide with those of some of the center’s prime financial backers, including the government of Saudi Arabia and the foundation of Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud, whose offer of $10 million to New York City just after Sept. 11 was rejected by then-mayor Rudy Giuliani because it came wrapped in the suggestion that America rethink its support of Israel....

...Other big donors listed in the Carter Center’s annual reports include the Sultanate of Oman and the sultan himself; the government of the United Arab Emirates; and a brother of Osama bin Laden, Bakr BinLadin, “for the Saudi BinLadin Group.” ...

...Of lesser heft, but still large, are contributions from assorted development funds of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as well as of OPEC, whose membership includes oil-rich Arab states, Nigeria (whose government is also a big donor to the Carter Center), and Venezuela (whose anti-American strongman Hugo Chávez benefited in a 2004 election from the highly controversial monitoring efforts of the Carter Center).

Brandeis University to allow rebuttal after Carter speech

"I can't believe I just spent the night with this guy...and I have to pay HIM?!"

- JC (the acronym is purely a coincidence - don't worry!)

This could turn out to be great, because Dershowitz is going after Jimmy 'bob joe sue cecil rhodes islamic republic' Carter - so he can potentially make a mockery out of the old foo.

Fox News reports on this latest development. I've copied some of the article below fyi.

Former President Jimmy Carter won't go unchallenged after his appearance next week at Brandeis University, where he is lecturing on his latest book about what he terms the Palestinian apartheid by Israel.

Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz will step on stage afterward to rebut the former president's remarks despite having been booted from an earlier booking to debate Carter on his assertions.

“I think the inaccuracies of Carter’s points have to be pointed out. Carter said he wrote the book in order to stimulate a debate, but he won’t debate. I’m debating him whether he’s there or not,” Dershowitz told FOXNews.com.

“If his chair is empty, then that’s his decision,” he said.

Dershowitz joins a growing pool of critics, including a longtime Carter aide, Jewish groups and academics who allege inaccuracies and distorted history in Carter's best-selling book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” The book has sold about 70,000 copies.

Is Carter a Nazi supporter?

This news was floating around the blogosphere yesterday. I've copied some of the article below.

An entry in the book for October 10, 1943 registered the shooting death of Max Oschorn, a French Jewish prisoner. His murderer was also recorded: SS guard Martin Bartesch. “It was a most chilling document,” Sher recalled…

“One day, in the fall of ’87, my secretary walks in and gives me a letter with a Georgia return address reading ‘Jimmy Carter.’ I assumed it was a prank from some old college buddies, but it wasn’t. It was the original copy of the letter Bartesch’s daughter sent to Carter, after Bartash [sic] had already been deported…

“On the upper corner of the letter was a note signed by Jimmy Carter saying that in cases such as this, he wanted ‘special consideration for the family for humanitarian reasons.’

“I didn’t respond to the letter – the case was already over and he was out of the country – but it always stuck in my craw. A former president who didn’t do what I would expect him to do - with a full staff at his disposal – to find out the facts before he took up the side of this person. But I wasn’t going to pick a fight with a former president. We had enough on our plate.”

Jimmy Carter round-up

"Please don't go fellas...awe shucks...they've all deserted me. Guess I couldn't go on fooling the entire world forever. Luckily, they haven't begun to scratch the surface yet (phew)..."

1. He appeared on Al-Jazeera television on January 14th and tried to defend his book and show how friendly he is toward Palestinians and their 'cause'. You can watch the video by clicking here - MEMRI has kindly added English subtitles. The most interesting comments for me were: (A) he says that he carefully and accurately researched the number of children killed on the Israeli and Palestinian sides, and came up with the number of 5x more Palestinian children dying. I think there is no way this can be right, as Israel has a policy of not targeting civilians, when the policy of Palestinians is precisely the opposite, as can be seen through their suicide bombing of buses and other public areas. (B) He says that those who support the Palestinian cause will begin to reject the cause if/when they see such suicide acts against Israeli civilians. The whole point, Jimmy (as you well know), is that this reflects the fundamental difference between the Israeli and Palestinian mentality. This is who they are - they want to kill civilians (and themselves, to become martyrs) and Israel does everything possible to avoid it (although sometimes it is unavoidable when they act to defend themselves against such gross Palestinian attacks). Hot Air's commentary on this can be found here.


2. Steve Berman, one of the fifteen members who have left the Carter Center in recent weeks, appeared on Hannity & Colmes Monday evening to explain why he left and why he thinks Former President Jimmy Carter condones Palestinian terrorism. You can view this video on Hot Air.

President Gerald Ford: Jimmy Carter was a 'disaster'

Now that he's dead, it's all coming out. The article is here. Some excerpts are below.

In 25 years of interviews with his hometown paper that could only be released upon his death, former President Ford once called Jimmy Carter a "disaster" who ranked alongside Warren Harding...

...In 1981, Ford said: "I think Jimmy Carter would be very close to Warren G. Harding. I feel very strongly that Jimmy Carter was a disaster, particularly domestically and economically. I have said more than once that he was certainly the poorest president in my lifetime."

Mass resignations at the Carter Center

Some people are slowly waking up and coming to their senses about this evil man. Good news - I hope they all walk out. The article is here. Apparently, another academic has turned against Carter too - article is here. Excerpts of the Carter Center article are below. (Hat tip: LGF)

Fourteen members of an advisory board at the Carter Center resigned today, concluding they could “no longer in good conscience continue to serve” following publication of former President Jimmy Carter’s controversial book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.”

“It seems that you have turned to a world of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy,” the board members wrote in a letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “We can no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising position. This is not the Carter Center or Jimmy Carter we came to respect and support. Therefore it is with sadness and regret that we hereby tender our resignation from the Board of Councilors of the Carter Center effective immediately.”
