I'm not a Carter fan, but I would want someone who attacked him f*cked up.

Carter and shit.
Two words often used together.

jimmy carter: the patron saint of islamofascism. he gave birth to it in 1979 and continues to nurture this cancer 30 years later.

The assassination plot was probably Hamas's crude attempt to gain some sympathy -- may not have really existed.

bastardd

I'd like Carter to disappear from the public eye but I would never want harm to come to him. I'd just like him to retire all ready. Go farm some peanuts or something.

your very kind Wife, wish I had that sympathy gland for such vermin

hamas is playing the gullible media once again. by foiling a "plot" that they probably planned themselves, they get to paint some unknown "bad" hamas guys as associates of al qaeda. and now hamas gets to be the "good" hamas because they foiled some "al qaeda affiliated terrorists."

you have got to be fucking kidding me ...

re: #1 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I don't believe there was ever a threat. That was to make someone look good.

On the face of it that the plot was real and not made up... Hamas would be just protecting it's best interests in protecting that senile Anti-Semite...

On the other hand maybe now would be a good time for the Lebanese to try and eject Hizb'Allah from their country while so many of them are in Iran... Just a thought...

Striking a conciliatory tone, Mr. Haniya said Hamas would favor the creation of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders and with full sovereignty

Hmm. I must have missed the part about recognizing Israel's right to exist and the cessation of Hamas attacks.

Implausible on its face. Why would al Qaeda want to assassinate Carter? He's practically on their side.

Well I am not so sure about that. Remember he went to N Korea without Clinton's blessings and as I understand Bill was pissed. But I am afraid Obama and Carter share certain sentiments.

Now that we've elected an anti-Israeli president, Carter's mask is COMPLETELY off and he feels as comfortable as ever in his pursuit of the destruction of Israel.

re: #28 brookly red

i dunno ... carter has been doing this for a long time. i doubt he asked for Bush's permission to visit other thugs.

Read the comments after the JPost article. Most there believe either that Hamas set the bombs themselves to ' discover' in a bid for legitimacy as a ' state' (sort of a Munchausen's for terrorists) or that there was never any plot.

What is this?

Just the other day, Jimmy al-Peanuthaid was saying what a problem the Joos were for Obama's peacemaking.

Must have got a phone call from El Presidente telling him to cool it - or at least, the AP must have got a call from the White House spinmeisters to the above effect.

I just cannot believe the warped reporting now coming out about Netanyahu's speech on Sunday, and now this. Reporting out of the whole cloth, unrelated to actual words or deeds.

Straight from the unicorn's mouth.

Completely OT but could someone confirm this article I found in stuff.co.nz?

College football team, dog as mascot...

May God bless Jimmy Carter and keep him safe oni in a rocking chair on the porch of a retirement home, and far away from world affairs, and national affairs, and state affairs, and county affairs...

It's so frustrating that we have to keep letting that bastard back into the country. Let him go live in Gaza or N. Korea. /Or hell.

Carter is like a bad penny.

BTW folks, I've contacted Ahmed & Salim's creators and offered them some of my photoshop parody items as "product placement" for future episodes...

I call bullshit on the terrorism plot- why would the Paleos whack one of their biggest cheerleaders?

I'm not sure I'd say that Hamas thwarted an assassination attempt, but someone did. Perhaps someone in Hamas got overly enthusiastic about killing Americans, even one that will bend over backwards to help Hamas while constraining Israel at every turn.

Or, it was some other terrorist group - there are a few operating in Gaza - that was operating without Hamas consent.

In any event, good that the bombs were discovered before Carter found out firsthand just what his friends really think of him.

Come to think of it, that's the kind of thing that Hizbullah would do to take pressure off the Iranian regime at the moment. Get the attention elsewhere so Iran's mullahs can reassert control.

Still, Carter's dancing with the devil in Gaza, and Hamas is busy saying that Carter's speaking on behalf of the Obama Administration. I'd say that someone better be asking tough questions of the Administration over that. There's quite a bit of bad jobu to go around.

An aside but of interest to us bloggers:

A Las Vegas newspaper says it has been served a federal grand jury subpoena seeking information about readers who posted comments on the paper's Web site.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Tuesday that its editor, Thomas Mitchell, plans to fight the request, which the newspaper received after reporting on a federal tax fraud case against business owner Robert Kahre.

The subpoena seeks the identities and personal information about people who posted comments on the story. The newspaper said prosecutors told the judge in the case that some comments hinted at acts of violence and the subpoena was issued out of concern for jurors' safety.

Mitchell said anonymous speech is "a fundamental and historic part of this country." The newspaper would consider cooperating if specific crimes or real threats were presented, he said.

Here's a great article on Carter
Some choice excerpts: (WARNING: the following excerpts may make you sick)

Last month, Carter penned a remarkable op-ed piece for the New York Times, entitled "America Can Persuade Israel to Make a Just Peace." In it, he let it all hang out as an apologist for Arafat and a bulldog against Sharon. Before getting to that piece, however, we should be clear about just how attached to Arafat and his cause the ex-president is. As Brinkley writes in his book The Unfinished Presidency — about Carter's celebrated post-White House years — "there was no world leader Jimmy Carter was more eager to know than Yasir Arafat." The former president "felt certain affinities with the Palestinian: a tendency toward hyperactivity and a workaholic disposition..."

In their first meeting — held in 1990 — Carter boasted of his sternness toward Israel. For example, he said, "When I bring up the [PLO] charter, you should not be concerned that I am biased. I am much more harsh with the Israelis." Arafat, for his part, complained about the Reagan administration's alleged "betrayals." Rosalynn Carter, who was taking notes for her husband, interjected, "You don't have to convince us!" which, as Brinkley records, "elicited gales of laughter all round." The ex-president "agreed that the Reagan administration was not renowned as promise keepers" (this, to Arafat).
Shortly thereafter, Carter actually acted as PR adviser and speechwriter to Arafat. As Brinkley says, he "drafted on his home computer the strategy and wording for a generic speech Arafat was to deliver soon for Western ears . . ." The entire composition is nauseating, but its flavor can be captured in a single line: "Our people, who face Israeli bullets, have no weapons: only a few stones remaining when our homes are destroyed by Israeli bulldozers."

I used to call Carter one of the worse Presidents ever, but the best ex-President of all time. Maybe I would still say that if he stuck to some of the genuinely good things he involves himself with such as Habitat for Humanity and other genuinely humanitarian causes, but since he has decided to involve himself in ME politics as an ex-President, all that went out the window.

Whenever he writes or speaks on the ME conflict, I am reminded of a lyric from the "Rolling Stones" song, "Sympathy for the Devil":

Where every cop is a criminal/
And all the sinners, saints

In the Byzantine world in which Jimmy Carter lives, up is down, black is white, good is evil. No one in American politics has taken a faster tumble in my regard or esteem than Jimmy Carter. Sadly, what makes him so very dangerous is that I actually believes the crap he spews. I don't see him as some vicious anti-Semite. In a way, I wish he were... it sounds odd, but he would be less dangerous that way. The fact that he believes that he is actually doing good is what makes him so very dangerous.

I wonder if my old Carter Derangement Syndrome still fits?

Good question. In many ways no-unless he has Obama's ear?. But on the other hand he is an Ex-President of the United States and that by itself lends "gravitas" to his ramblings with some people and organizations-read UN. And some people- like maybe some Arab criminal organizations in the Middle East may think he talks for the current administration? He can only muck things up.

Dicky Turbin, insider trading?

Why Did Durbin Buy Shares In Berkshire?

So if Dick Durbin selling his stocks and mutual funds last September isn’t a scandal, could his decision to buy shares of Berkshire Hathaway be? That possibility occurred to us when we remembered that Warren Buffett was reported to have had frequent phone calls with key lawmakers during the negotiations over bailout legislation.

So did these calls play a role in convincing Durbin to invest his money in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway? We actually have no doubt that they did. Even if Buffett wasn’t actively hawking the shares to lawmakers, many must have been impressed by the prestige the Oracle of Obama commanded among their fellow Congressmen and Senators

re: #91 Fenway_Nation

I don't remember much about it but for my father calling him a jerk often, and I have a distant memory of gas lines. Or I am remembering reading about them. That said, I seconded this being Carter's second term.

re: buzzsawmonkey

Carter has the distinction of having brokered The Only Middle East Peace Agreement by an American President that has, more or less, held. Which is to say, Egypt has not been at war with Israel in any official capacity since Israel divested itself of the Sinai.

That's pretty slim qualifications, if you look at what Israel actually got, and the quality of the "peace." But it stands above Clinton's Oslo Accords for durability.

This gives Carter a wholly undeserved aura of gravitas and Wise Old Man credibility. So yes, he is paid attention to--even though he shouldn't be.

Brokered is too strong a word from what I understand. I believe "Catered" is closer to the truth. The agreement was going to happen with or without him, he just provided the venue and the food.

re: #125 Flyers1974

If the Palestinians think he has any influence in Washington or is a messenger from the Obama administration it can only harden their stance in negations and since they are already living in a fantasy land that can be very dangerous.

re: #129 buzzsawmonkey

Carter has the distinction of having brokered The Only Middle East Peace Agreement by an American President that has, more or less, held. Which is to say, Egypt has not been at war with Israel in any official capacity since Israel divested itself of the Sinai.

That's pretty slim qualifications, if you look at what Israel actually got, and the quality of the "peace." But it stands above Clinton's Oslo Accords for durability.

This gives Carter a wholly undeserved aura of gravitas and Wise Old Man credibility. So yes, he is paid attention to--even though he shouldn't be.

Good point.

re: #130 albusteve

he obliquely endorses murder and mayhem on behalf of the Palis...he's a lunatic that gets people killed...there is nothing noble or righteous or courageous about him...he jumped the shark long ago...a case might be made for him to be behind bars

There's a great parallel I could make, but I won't, too upsetting to some.

re: #125 Flyers1974

I don't think he has any power to influence events.

That's what I am thinking. Those nuts in the Middle East enjoy the attention they get from Carter, but he doesn't make them any more or less emboldened to their mission.

And, no, I don't think the "world" sees him as representing our government. People are not stupid, the world over has just as many sources of news and info that we have.

Most people know that he is an old man, who is very out of touch with reality, and he is certainly not some rallying point for ANY cause.

To bad Carter don't see how much of a fool he is being played for.

re: #113 nevergiveup

Good question. In many ways no-unless he has Obama's ear?. But on the other hand he is an Ex-President of the United States and that by itself lends "gravitas" to his ramblings with some people and organizations-read UN. And some people- like maybe some Arab criminal organizations in the Middle East may think he talks for the current administration? He can only muck things up.

Carter cashed in on the fallout of the '73 war and the ground work of Kissinger and Nixon.

re: #120 unrealizedviewpoint

I don't agree, but see your point, kind of.
He's so involved, so long, maybe he just can't see?
I doubt it though. I think he just hates Jews.

If he did, I would fear him less and the impact he could have against Israel in the court of public opinion in this country. The fact that I think he is so deluded into believing that he is doing good is what I feel makes him so dangerous.

I once read in the excellent book "On Killing" about a member of the US military who I believe was in an elite unit describe the world as being made up of sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. I have thought about this and realized that there are many sheep who cannot tell the difference between the wolves and the sheepdogs because they are both canines. The sheep, who have been protected for so long from the wolves, start to sympathize with the wolves when they see the sheepdogs kicking the shit out of them.

Carter is a sheep who has lost the ability to discern the wolves from the sheepdogs.

I'm sorry, I can't believe he means well. I think he's an anti-semite who would love to see Israel disappear. He's a crazy old man, true, but even before the brain melt he was a hater.

I was asking the other day what in the world he thinks is going on? He saw the result of Hamas control in their experimental "country". Civil war. Death and destruction. Yet he supports them anyway, and has over decades. I really can't think he means well in this situation.

Lamentably, I killed your cat while trying just to sting it. It was crouched, as usual, under one of our bird feeders & I fired from some distance with bird shot. It may ease your grief somewhat to know that the cat was buried properly with a prayer & that I’ll be glad to get you another of your choice.

I called & came by your house several times. We will be in the Dominican Republic until Thursday. I’ll see you then.

I keep getting a read from so many posters on this board, that you are so desperate for Barack Obama to be Jimmy Carter that if he turns out to be a great president, your head may in fact explode.

I'm not a member of the Carter fan club. I think he has given credibility to some very nasty characters around the world, but that doesn't make him a bad man, it simply makes him naive. He's a man of his time. And he was really never a man that was supposed to be the President of the United States, Richard Nixon simply made a president like that inevitable.

I can't understand the nationalist fervor on the right that makes conservatives take a knee jerk reactionary hatred for all of their political opponents. Either defeated opponents or ones that have defeated them.

re: #143 buzzsawmonkey

I have heard that too, and it would not surprise me were it true. Nonetheless, he took the credit and the Nobel, and that gives him his "credentials," such as they are.

Having you Air Force wiped out your Army surrounded, and Ariel Sharon looking at a clear road to Cairo clarified their thinking.

Carter was supposed to make a good faith effort to get Gilad Shalit rescued. The only thing he managed was this: "I got the impression that Gilad Shalit is alive and well." Of course Carter's definition of "well" is suspect and open to interpretation. He then hurled the usual false accusations against Israel. All in all, another middle east failure for Jimmy Carter.

re: #162 Democratic Socialist

I believe it is extremely naive to write off Carter as naive, and I believe you know that. It is a simplistic and beleivable explanation for his behavior but it just does not wash. The man has been privy to knowledge at the highest echelons for most of his life. He is an idealogue and a bigot, or at least so says the evidence left in his wake.

To dismiss me and others off as simple minded righty reactionaries is pretty limited in purvey as well.

This would require Obama to either ditch socialism, or put his personal policy preferences aside for the duration of his term. He's too much of a Marxist to do the former, and too much of a narcissist to do the latter. An asswhipping in the 2010 elections for the Democrats might force him to try the latter whether he likes it or not though. Either way the expand government and spend more money we don't have routine has to go for him to be anything other than a disaster as president.

oh boy. Just as we "move on" from the Palin/Letterman fight, John Ensign confesses to having an affair with a married campaign staffer. Politico is exposing every hypocritical bone in his body: he was once a Promise Keeper, and he's a born-again Christian. He also issued calls for the resignation of Larry Craig and Blowjob Clinton (although it's not clear whether those were on the basis of the perjury or the marital infidelity).

Brace for the usual Republican partisans' embarrassing defense of this and the hypocritical attacks from the Left as if they never do it, either.

Once again, one marvels at the arrogance, vanity, hypocrisy, and narcissism of certain people. Ensign may have been ripe for an affair regardless of his profession, but one can't help wondering if that Senate seat had something to do with it.

Jimmy Carter accuses Israel of treating palestinians like “savages”:

Relatives of the 15-year-old Palestinian boy who was murdered by members of his family last week on suspicion of “collaboration” with Israel have called on the Palestinian Authority to impose the death penalty on the culprits.

The boy, Raed Sawalha, from the village of Hijjah in the Kalkilya district, was brutally tortured before being hanged. His body was discovered on Wednesday in a warehouse belonging to his family.

His father, Wael, had locked him inside the warehouse after villagers claimed that they had seen the boy “chatting” with a Border Police soldier.

The father told police that he only sought to “discipline” his son and did not know that other members of the family, including his own brother, would assault him and kill him...sources said that the uncle has confessed to the murder...“I didn’t know that he was going to torture him and hang him,” he said. “My son was actually beaten to death by his uncle despite his innocence.” The father said that the rumors had been sparked by “ignorant” villagers.

[Cribbed from Israellycool.]

Is Carter's accusation to be seen as criticism or praise?

re: #169 Walter L. Newton

Really, then i wonder why the left is still harping on Bush 8 months after the election? Just asking.
