Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2004 Jimmy Carter: American Revolution Was 'Unnecessary'
Recently we described Jimmy Carter as the worst president of the past 100 years. We apologize.
He's the worst president ever.
In trying to compare the American Revolution to the war in Iraq, here's what the jug-headed Georgian said to fellow Democrat Chris Matthews on "Hardball" Monday night, according to MSNBC's own transcript:
'A Little More Sensitive'
Well, one parallel is that the Revolutionary War, more than any other war up until recently, has been the most bloody war we've fought. I think another parallel is that in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war. Had the British Parliament been a little more sensitive to the colonials' really legitimate complaints and requests the war could have been avoided completely, and of course now we would have been a free country now as is Canada and India and Australia, having gotten our independence in a nonviolent way.
I think in many ways the British were very misled in going to war against America and in trying to enforce their will on people who were quite different from them at the time.
Does the catastrophic ex-prez really think the war in Iraq is bloodier than the Vietnam War, the Korean War, World War II, World War I, the Civil War ...?
Note to Jimmy: Canada did not begin to gain independence until 1867. Australia did not receive partial independence as a commonwealth until 1901. India did not gain independence until 1947, and all the Indians who were killed by the British would hardly describe their deaths as "nonviolent."
"Worst President ever."
Words escape me. *sigh*
Oh but he was one of our most intelligent presidents--remember?
Off with their heads!!!!
I guess Billy was right about his brother!!
Jimmy Carter meet Neville Chamberlain.
Quoting embarrassing nonsense from this senile old geezer is unnecessary. He should be totally ignored by sensible people.
Well, my ancestors are spinning.
The entire Carter presidency was unnecessary. Too bad we couldn't have avoided it, as well.
Hummmmm....
The American Revolution wasn't necessary according to Carter because the patriots didn't have Carter to negotiate one of his infamous treaties for them. OOOOOhhhh, ppuuhhlleeeaaaassseeee!!!!
Visualize Carter's failed presidency to the beat of the Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" song.
Further proof that high IQ does not equall simple common sense.
The first idiot,savant president.
An ex-president who is ignorant of the history of his own country?
The Civil War was our bloodiest war ever. Even lower school students know that!
Hey! Carter!
Click the PicNow! STFU!
Thank goodness he wasn't around at the time of the Revolution in a position of power.
Somewhere near Plains GA there is a rest home waiting for Jimmah
Jimmuh's been sniffing the paint thinner again.
