god bless Jimmy!

I don't even bother gazing at him.

It is pathetic, but it isn't surprising.

All the more reason for him to go.

That's what he'll think.

[deleted]

It’s just pathetic he should even need to be told.

And it's even more pathetic that we're shocked to see the State Department actually do it.

re: #3 Shug

Right. Have another Mushroom.

Carter has convinced himself he is the smartest person on Earth. He is an idiot.

OK, show of hands - how many think Jimmy will listen to the State Department?
C'mon, don't be shy!
Um, anyone.........!

The meds have worn off, Someone at State is awake and lucid.
About f*****g time.

It's a rare occasion that I'd find myself approving of something coming out of the State Department. To celebrate- I'm buying randi rhodes a Bloody Mary.

You know, Jimmah is up there on the list of worst presidents. He's really making a bid to be on the top of that list, or to start a new one: List of US Ex-presidents most likely to be charged with Treason or to be found dead in airstrike by US troops on suspected enemies of the United States.

Is there ANY former president who has gone so far as to wonder about the aid and abetting clause? Maybe some of the former presidents before the civil war? Buchanan or something?

meanwhile no doubt they are funding the trip, under the table

The arrogance of this old fool knows nno bounds. He will press forward. Logan Act his ass!

He is just trying to atone for not being able to completely eradicate Israel in the 70's. It's hard to admit that you are totally irrelevant.

Carter can't even wait until after the sham election to continue hating Jews as loudly and publicly as he can. Yup, he really is a Democrat from the South.

Al-Jazeera Television said the Syria meeting could also include former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and former South African President Nelson Mandela, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

But Fred Eckhard, Annan's former spokesman at the United Nations, said Annan had no plans to accompany Carter to Damascus.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke to Annan earlier this week about Hamas, said McCormack, who declined to provide details of the call.

"Secretary Annan is well aware of our position regarding Hamas as he was a former member of the quartet," said McCormack.

Is Jimmah stupider than Annan?

re: #12 Sharmuta ROFL! You do know she'll want more than one, doncha?!

That's exactly what I was thinking, #7.
So, any word from Jimmuh yet?

Gunning for another Nobel Peace Prize.

all he needs to do is add Mugabe, Khadafi, and Al-zwahiri to the itinerary and he's a lock

I believe the State Dept. nixed his trip because they didn't have enough adult diapers and stewed peas to take with him.

re: #13 vanceone Uh, no disrespect intended, but Jimmy Carter was one of the Worst Presidents in American history and is ALREADY at the tippy-top of the list of Worst Ex-Presidents of America.

re: #14 Shug

Probably. They need to jerk his passport from him to prevent his ever leaving the country again.

After establishing the worldwide terrorist state of Iran, Jimmy just wants to check how the terror gig is working out for them.

re: #16 theparson

He is just trying to atone for not being able to completely eradicate Israel in the 70's. It's hard to admit that you are totally irrelevant.

Far be it from me to dispute a man of God with a gun and a badge, but I would be surprised if he thinks his presidency was anything other than stellar.

Has the U.S. State Department Gone Completely Zionist?

WARNING: only for those with pre-existing low blood pressure.

re: #21 ROP?LOL

No matter how awful he his, even joking about the assassination of a former president is terrible.

Carter would have lunch with bin-Laden, if he could find him.

What a shame. The Hamas hierarchy was really looking forward to their autographed copies of his Israeli Apartheid book.

re: #27 coquimbojoe

Far be it from me to dispute a man of God with a gun and a badge, but I would be surprised if he thinks his presidency was anything other than stellar.

I will allow it this time.

But, don't make a habit of it!

I don't think Jimmah could possibly do much more to damage his standing in the world. Moonbats love him, everyone else despises him.

re: #25 Bubblehead II

Probably. They need to jerk his passport from him to prevent his ever leaving the country again.

Or better yet, wait until he's overseas, then jerk his passport from him, so he can't ever come back.

On the other hand, I agree with you.

Does Jimmah know about the Jew-Eating Rabbit yet?

The US State Department said on Thursday it had advised ex-President Jimmy Carter against meeting the leader of Hamas in Syria next week, saying it went against US policy of isolating the group.

The sad thing is that he could French kiss Meshaal on live television, then shoot the finger at Bush, and State wouldn't do jack about it.

re: #18 MandyManners

"Is Jimmah stupider than Annan?"

That's a tough one.

I don't think we can stop him from going. I do think we could slow his return. Maybe a little H2o boarding to see what they talked about....

I wouldn't bet against Jimmy Carter doing whatever Jimmy Carter thinks will promote the interest of Jimmy Carter.

GTFOH!

So, what exactly does this tell us about the State Department. Did someone finally use a firing neuron to realize that a former President meeting with the current head of a terrorist group on the State Department watch list was a bad idea? That bad press could head their way? That Carter might attempt to subvert existing US foreign policy?

Carter apparently believes that he operates above and outside existing US foreign policy and diplomatic initiatives - despite the fact that the only person who can direct such things is the sitting President of the US at the time. Someone better wake Carter up to the fact that he's been out of office since January 1981.

Now, was his meeting originally approved by State and now they're giving him the *wink wink* *nod nod* *say no more* approach to go ahead with Carter's visit to Syria and if you happen to be in the same room with Meshaal, you can speak to him if you like? Seems like they didn't have a problem before, but with the bad press, they're opting for the latter.

re: #25 Bubblehead II

Maybe they should revoke it after he leaves so he can't get back in.

Realwest: I know he's near the top, I was just wondering if this kind of thing was unprecedented. People like Buchanan--did they promote the South, or something? Seriously, I could, for the first time, see Jimmy as a human shield, or ending up on the casualty list of a safe house hit by a US missile when striking some Islamic terrorist place.

I just wondered if any other president has ever gone that way, that's all. I doubt it.

He's still going to meet with him.

That's my call.

I'm not sure I agree with not talking to Hamas, but what's Carter going to do but give him a Lewinsky?

Logan Act?

Jimmy's a Runner?

Uh, Mr. Carter, since Jan 20, 1981, you have not been the President. You have no legal authority to meet on the behalf of the US. AND IF YOU DID, WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD YOU MEET WITH NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS?

sorry for the shouting, I feel better now

re: #59 NoSubmission

So, what are they going to talk about?

How to kill Jews yet still remain the victims.

The US State Department said on Thursday it had advised ex-President Jimmy Carter against meeting the leader of Hamas in Syria next week, saying it went against US policy of isolating the group.

Tis a shame, really. Jimmah wanted to try out his brand new designer kneepads.

It would be nice if they could, but he is a U.S. citizen and unlike the palioterrorists, he does have the right to return. If only to face charges for violation of the Logan Act.

A man defeated for re-election 28 years ago is conducting foreign policy.
It's like O.J. Simpson wondering why his uniform isn't ready.

of course we have to give equal time to obamaman, he knows all about the problems of China, see once in 3rd grade he got into a fight with this typical white kid in his class over a game of chinese checkers... obama got mad because the typical white kid kept jumping his white marbles over the black marbles...

Guys relax, this is just a book-signing tour, Hamas are probably big fans of his work from last year.

Unfortunately, that's not true...he is actually loved throughout much of the world.

He is only despised by a certain percentage of Americans and Israelis.

Obama would meet with Hamas and Carter will surely meet with them regardless of what the State Dept. has to say.These are the new policies of the Democrat Party with its own foreign policy agenda.

He's just getting a jumpstart on the prominent position he'll undoubtedly hold in the Obamarama Administration.

But, but, but. Jimmah wasn't going to talk with Hamas as a representative of the USA. He is going to the meeting as an official representative of Hugo Chaves! Did the editor leave that part of the article out? ///

OK Jimmy you've been warned, go & get prosecuted under the

Logan Act

You are a burden to us now, sir.

/channeling R.E.Lee

Dear Mr. Carter (no dignified president title),
You have just lost a lot of respect. Please stop being a f*cking moron and go away. You are the primary reason so many people hate the United States. You make us look BAD! You are consorting with known terrorists and yet you have no shame. None. I am appalled with your lack of respect for the country you once led. People are dying for your freedom, but Mr. Carter you don't deserve that freedom if you continue with meeting with Hamas.
Love, Sarah

This is all Bush's fault.

During his term as President, he has allowed the State Dept., CIA and the democratic Congress to run a shadow foreign policy by meeting with foreign leaders of terror supporting nations. I expect that 'President' McCain will also do nothing to curb the treasonous behavior of the above mentioned entities. I fully expect that the damage done to this nation will be the end of our current system and will usher in a greater world war with an entirely new paradigm of government and states being formed from the ashes of the current world order.

You know, if the State Department is looking for stuff to do, they could send someone to look into this report:

IRAN'S BUSTED IRAQ BID
BASRA 'RISING' WAS TEHRAN'S OP

April 10, 2008 -- A gamble that proved too costly.

That's how analysts in Tehran describe events last month in Basra. Iran's state-run media have de facto confirmed that this was no spontaneous "uprising." Rather, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) tried to seize control of Iraq's second-largest city using local Shiite

re: #17 Lizard by the Bay

Carter can't even wait until after the sham election to continue hating Jews as loudly and publicly as he can. Yup, he really is a Democrat from the South.

I have live in the USA for 35+ years, almost 30 of them in the South. I have never personally heard a Southerner say anything anti-semitic.
I include my father in this, who was born and raised in segregated Charleston, SC....a Southern Democrat, until he morphed into a conservative independent.
(The only things I ever heard him say about Jews were very
flattering.)
The first time that I personally heard anti-semitic remarks in this country was when I moved (briefly) to New Jersey. Being a post-WWII person, I was actually shocked by this. I heard similar things when I lived (again briefly) in the Midwest.
I am speaking here, of course, about ordinary, private discourse, not about the statements of public figures.
I do not wish to insinuate that NJ or the Midwest are especially anti-semitic, BTW. Could just be back luck for me. And in any case, all regions are complex, no?
I just wish YOU would not impugn Southerners so easily.

I think they State Department is just covering it's ass. The don't care if Carter meets with Hamas. Why should they care? They've been meeting with Hamas using Egypt as an intermediary for quite some time. State even has an Ambassador of sorts to Hamas- David Welch.
You better believe State approves of this meeting. It's in their DNA.

If my memory serves correct....
It was during the Carter years that the country
went from "Land of opportunity" to
a "Land of opportunists"!

Actually, Jimmah occupies a very important position in U.S. history:

He's the only person standing between Bill Clinton and the title "Worst President of the 20th Century."

As an ex-president, I assume he has secret service protection? Are they going with him to Syria and to met with hamas?

If Carter goes ahead and meets with a known terrorist group I would certainly hope there would be an orange jump suit waiting for him on his return.
