Vile mush from the Wimp

[DesertFox]

Whatever reputation Jimmy Carter once enjoyed as a former President, Nobel laureate and peace broker has spiraled down the toilet since publication of his book "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid."

The book's slanderous title, factual inaccuracies, biased analysis and willingness to excuse terrorism have alienated even Carter's friends, 14 of whom expressed their disgust by quitting the advisory board of the Carter Center in Atlanta. ...

And this drivel sits near the top of the best-seller lists. Carter isn't just annoying anymore. He's dangerous.

Carter used to just me feel ill. Now he makes me vomit.

FYI,Here's just some of the actions taken by this buffoon during his Presidency and over the succeeding years, and why the left holds him in such high esteem: :flame:


Jimmy Carter’s presidency could be summed up by a Billy Joel lyric, “Ayatollahs in Iran/Russians in Afghanistan.” However, this would omit so much: “malaise,” the misery index, soaring interest rates, a “helpless giant” foreign policy, stagflation, gas lines, record deficits, and killer jackrabbits. The former president doesn’t ignore his record in his book; he lies about it.

He boasts, for instance, that he brought religious liberty to China although his book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list the week Chinese Communists sentenced three Christians to a total of six and ahalf years in prison fo distributing Bibles.

Upon his inauguration, he provided a “strong defense” by slashing defense spending $6 billion (in 2003 dollars) in the first two years of his administration, canceling the B-1 bomber, and decimating the U.S. fleet.
Carter further demonstrated his mettle by surrendering the Panama Canal after a few riots.

Stansfield Turner, Carter's CIA chief, gutted the CIA, cutting 820 human intelligence positiosn. Without assets of its own, Langley had to rely on the intelligence agencies of foreign governments.

Don't forget his General Amnesty for the cowards that went to Canada.
Nonetheless, in his book Carter presumes to advise George W. Bush on how to deal with Iran. Without Carter's policies the Iran-Iraq war would not have raged for nearly a decade; the United States would not have had to form an unsavory alliance of convenience with Saddam Hussein, in order to hem in the mullahs; Hezbollah would not receive $100-$200 million a year from Tehran’s coffers; al Qaeda would not have received training in Iran in 1992 and Iran’s nuclear ambitions, if they existed, would be of no consequence to the West whatsoever.

Jimmy Carter’s presidency was the lowest point of American prestige in modern history. The missteps he made during those critical years continue to threaten the United States and the West.

President Carter’s economic genius created the situation that, by 1980 interest rates stood at 21 percent, inflation at 13.5 percent, unemployment at 7 percent, and the “misery index” he coined during the 1976 campaign reached 20.5 percent.

It has long been an unwritten rule for former presidents not to criticize the incumbent officeholder, especially on foreign policy. Those who have broken that law in the last 100 years include Herbert Hoover, Jimmy Carter, and, Bill Clinton. History has judged all as failed presidents. But no former president actively sabotaged the foreign policy of a sitting president before Jimmy Carter.

Before Operation Desert Storm, Carter wrote a letter to UN Security Council members, asking them to oppose the war Five days before military operations were to commence, he again wrote to Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, “I urge you to call publicly for a delay in the use of force while Arab leaders seek a peaceful solution to the crisis.”

However, it was during the Clinton administration that his personal diplomacy reached its zenith. Carter writes that, in 1994, when North Korea began threatening to build nuclear weapons, he left on negotiations “with the approval of President Bill Clinton”. Clinton allowed Carter to visit, after Al Gore pushed for the trip. However, as President Bill Clinton tried to convince Pyongyang all options were on the table including a military response, Carter “unilaterally” promised that even economic sanctions would not be forthcoming. When asked about this discrepancy, President Clinton told reporters, “None of us have talked directly with President Carter. We don’t know what he said.” For once, Bill Clinton sounded believable. Carter’s behavior in North Korea led a Clinton administration Cabinet member to call him a treasounous prick.

Carter has hobnobbed with murderous tyrants throughout his post-presidency. He once pounded out a speech delivered by Yasser Arafat. In 2004, he certified dubious election of pro-Castro strongman Hugo Chavez.
However, he distinguished himself for useful idiocy by visiting Castro’s Cuba in 2002. Then as now, he opposed the Cuban embargo while acknowledging “the benefits of Cuba’s superior services in education and health.”

Carter’s crusade to embrace every two-bit thug in the world garnered him a 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded on political grounds, as Carter opposed Operation Iraqi Freedom. Gunnar Berge, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, said the honor “should be interpreted as a criticism of the line that the current administration has taken.” Carter was happy to administer the criticism in a speech pointedly criticizing U.S. policy on Iraq.

He has escalated his criticism ever since. In a 2004 “Hardball” interview < Carter told his former speechwriter that Operation Iraqi Freedom was like the Revolutionary War, because “in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war.”

In 2005, Carter has launched this book tour to convince the American people George W. Bush is leading the nation over the precipice and smear the Southern Christians he once courted, all the while feigning concern over Democrats and abortion. His book is a roadmap to the familiar oblivion he forced upon this nation and the world during his misrule. Nonetheless, the American Left now encourages the greatest president since Ronald Reagan to accept advice from the worst president since James Buchanan

Carter isn't "the worst president since" anybody. He's in a very low class all by himself.

Will this POS ever die? When I think of so many good people dying before their time while this ... thing continues to pollute the air with his blabbering, I know what the word injustice means. :flame:

The only intelligent thing Ted Kennedy ever said was during the '80 primary campaign: "No more Jimmy Carter!"
