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?

re: #11 Bubblehead II

The meds have worn off, Someone at State is awake and lucid.

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

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 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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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....

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

You are absolutely right... but since you haven't managed to put him in a cage there yet, and that's where he lives, I thought it would be easiest to lock him in where he resides.

And I am NOT a northeast liberal, thank you. I like Georgia and Georgians. I just don't like Jimmah and believe he belongs in a supervised site of some sort. You could move him to Arkansas and stick him in a padded vault with the Clintons, if you like.

I'm sorry you're stuck with him, anyway.

What's even funnier about this is that the Dems are telling the President not to go to the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Apparently, Jimmy can meet with Hamas, Pelosi can don a hijab to meet with the Syrians, Obama's minister can meet with Qaddafi, and Albright can go to North Koreas, but the president should stay away from a sporting event because the Chinese are mean.

Republican Jewish Coalition Press Release~

RJC: Sen. Obama Must Reject Carter's Superdelegate Vote

Washington, D.C. (April 10, 2008) -- In light of former President Jimmy Carter's upcoming visit with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal in Syria, today the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) called on Sen. Barack Obama to reject Carter's presumptive Democratic superdelegate vote.

On Tuesday, FOX News reported that President Carter was planning a visit to Syria where he would meet with Khaled Meshal, Hamas' leader residing in Damascus as a guest of Syria. Following that announcement, the Washington Post reported yesterday that the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama said the Illinois senator "does not agree with President Carter's decision to go forward with [the Khaled Meshal] meeting."

"We praise Senator Obama's decision to do the right thing and speak out against President Carter's misguided plans to visit with a murderous terrorist like Hamas leader Khaled Meshal," said RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks. "But the same hand that shakes Khaled Meshal's hand should not be allowed to rise in support of Senator Obama's candidacy for president. If President Carter meets with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal, it would send a terrible message to the Jewish community if Senator Obama were to accept President Carter's presumptive superdelegate vote. The right thing for Senator Obama to do is to reject President Carter's vote."

On April 3, the Associated Press reported that Carter "wouldn't quite say it, but he left little doubt this week about who he'd like to see in the White House next year." Additionally, the former president reportedly noted that Obama had won Carter's home state of Georgia, hometown of Plains and the support of Carter's wife, children and grandchildren.

A local moonbat was ragging on President Bush for allowing DST's implementation a month earlier than usual and claimed Bush is the worst president ever. When I asked him to compare Carter's Presidency, well...he'd rather have had Carter as president because Jimmy did a better job. Later he demonstrated his BDS by pleading to "the universe' not to let Bush run and get re-elected, again. I allowed that Bush can't run again, as he already served two terms, and the mb says..."He was selected, not elected!" I didn't bother to ask about 9-11.

i don't think they'll cut his head off this visit because they think they might be able to get something out of him. however his safety might not be guaranteed on a subsequent visit. because, even the thugs of the world are beginning to suspect that jimmy carter is the buffoon of the world. he is a USELESS idiot. a waste of time for even a hamas terrorist.

re: #44 lawhawk

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.

Their telling Carter to stuff it is not inconsistent with the State Dept's behavior pattern.

Remember that Saudi Arabi, at this point, is against anything that empowers Hamas and Syria, as Hamas is in the Iranian orbit (as is Syria, where Mashaal hangs his keffiyeh).

That alone would be enough for the State Dept to frown on this trip.

Then, of course, there is the feeling at the State Dept that Carter is treading on their turf.

It has nothing to do with the State Dept 'getting smart' all of a sudden, in my opinion.

They remain Saudi whores.

Four words. First two: Logan Act. Second two: five years.

This is a new low for Hamas.

I do not understand why Jimmy isn't under arrest for intent to violate the law.

I just saw on Hannity & Colmes, Alan Colmes and Pat Caddell defend Jimmy Carter. I wanted to throw up.

With any luck Jimmy's plane will have to bank sharply, the door will spring open and...Since Jimmy is a farmer he should know a lot about different kinds of soil. Maybe he can teach the nomads some new farming techniques.

Carter, the man for whom the phrase "stupid is as stupid does" was originally written for.

Even Forrest Gump is smarter than Jimmah.

re: #148 Maine's Michael

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.

Even worse:

* Carter may be operating outside the law, which forbids
- aiding and abetting terrorist organisations (which Hamas has been designated)
- usurping administration negotiating powers. (For example, I believe the DOJ nearly prosecuted a resporter who publicly assumed a role of negotiator between Lebanise Islamists and the President Reagan.)

* Carter has done this foolishness before (N Korea) with disastrous consequences

* Several Presidents (I believe, Clinton, Bush 1, and Bush 2, maybe Reagan too) have quietly said Carter interferes with their conduct of foreign policy.

The anti-Semitic jerk belongs in jail.

No, no, no, not Hamas. HAM ASS -- i.e., Monica Lewinsky.

Everyone is missing the true reason for this visit. I can see the press release now........

this just in on CNN...
After Former President Carter's visit with the leader of Hamas to negotiate middle east peace (appease terrorists), he was able to win assurances from the freedom fighting group that they will no longer engage in cross border raids into Israel. With this new found peace in the middle east, that the Bush Administration could not accomplish, Former President Carter is negotiating with the Democratic party to nominate him as their candiadte due to his national security credentials.

What he is telling Hamas is help me get elected and I can do for you what I did for Iran back in the 70's and help you take care of that troubling little problem of democracy trying to bloom in Lebannon.

Carter must have hear the internet rumors that Obama is a Muslim.

Why oh why can't someone get this doddering senile former hasbeen president out of the limelight and back into his room at the rubber ramada where he belongs? He's an embarrassment. If he had really wanted middle east peace, he would have solved the problem with Iran in a firm, military manner. The problems that the west is having with the [bigoted word]s is a direct result of his "legacy". I wish he'd go back to drinking beer with Billy, building sub-standard houses, working on the peanut farm and STFU. Then again, he probably is building houses.. for HAMAS. He's nuts already! Please take this man away and lock him up.

Once again Carter shows his true anti-America and anti-Jewish feelings. He is truly evil. How could I ever have voted for him in 1976?

I fear that Obama will fall in the same category.

We should not be so harsh on someone suffering from Alzheimer's or som other form of senile dementia. Dhimmi Carter is a tragic figure whose mental illness has gone undiagnosed and untreated for long enough. His actions are really a cry for help.

BTW Kofi Anan in Aramaic translates into English as "I am a monkey".
