Another Antisemite at the Washington Post

America’s most disgusting terrorist-hugging former president is published by America’s most disgusting Islamist mouthpiece, “On Faith,” with a truly vile little piece: On Faith: Guest Voices: Presidents Should Not Be Liars.

I do not think the President of the United States should be a liar, and believe that the overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens agree with me. For security reasons, the whole truth cannot always be revealed, but it is quite obvious that lies are seldom made to protect our nation. Almost invariably, the political fortunes of the prevaricator are at stake.

I know we’re not supposed to call former presidents “ex-presidents,” but if anyone deserves it, it’s Carter. The man was a disgrace as a president, and now he’s a disgrace as a human being.

Alan Dershowitz: Jimmy Carter is a Liar: Former President Caught in Yet Another Lie.

When former President Jimmy Carter spoke at Brandeis University in January, he complained that “this is the first time I’ve ever been called a liar...”. Well, he’d better get used to it, because I can now prove that he is a liar.

Last week in a speech at George Washington University, he categorically denied that he had received any invitation to debate me about his book. He said that he had—these are his quoted words—“never received any invitation to debate, contrary to what a Harvard professor has said.” Well one of us is lying and it’s not me. My best witness is none other than Jimmy Carter himself. Here is what he said, just a few weeks earlier at Brandeis:

“But let the debate take place, and I’ve never responded to any of the people that have made their attacks on me. I understand there is a Harvard professor that has done so. I turned down a meeting with him; I felt, I didn’t think that Brandeis needed a Harvard professor to come here and tell you how to ask questions. But to summarize my answer I think it is going to be much easier in the future not only in this campus but around the nation to debate these issues.”

It sure sounds like he was boasting about turning down a debate with me. Was he lying at Brandeis, or at George Washington? The answer is clear: at George Washington.
