When Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary agreed to do a fund-raising concert for a Texas congressional candidate last month, the appearance had to be canceled at the last moment when it was revealed the singer was convicted of child molestation in 1970 and pardoned 11 years later by President Carter.
Nevertheless, Yarrow has been campaigning for his good friend, presidential candidate John Kerry, throughout the year. And why shouldn't he? He has been friends with Kerry for more than 30 years and is godfather to his daughter Alex.

What didn't Carter pardon?
wow World Daily Net is really piling on this morning
LOL X 1 MILLION FONT!
Something is wrong here, a President, even a dumbass one such as Cartuh, cannot pardon state criminal convictions---only crimes against the US.
I'm sure he takes a hands on approach to his job.
i assume this was while he was guv of ga
Any slime ball Carter didn't pardon was taken care of by Clinton.
Interesting how Carter is so vocal for Kerry. He pardoned draft dodgers and objectors to the Vietnam War. I wonder what involvment Carter had with Kerry during the Vietnam War and afterwards. Both seem to have curiously strong affections for the Communists.
My first thought was that he selected Klinton. I guess it said "molester" not "rapist".
This is disturbing.
First Cat Stevens and now Peter, Paul and Mary. Didn't he write the song they used to play at all the Catholic weddings. Progressive family Values. I went to see them my senior year, class of '70 at the Dinner Key Aud. in Coconut Grove. They introduced themselves as: "Hi I'm Paul, but I'm not a saint. I'm Peter,but I'm not a saint either. I'm Mary and I'm not a virgin". I like music, I sing in a chorus, I wish they'd all just shut the ...up and sing. And that goes triple fot Mister No Nukes Jackson Browne.
Anyone here really be surprised to find out down the road that Kerry is pedophile and Edwards gay? Each Dem press attempts to push bar little further -
Kennedy - screwed around with Nazi spy during WWII and with mob boss girlfriend et al, but somewhat discreet
Carter - too ugly to get laid by anyone other than wife had to be content with telling us how he lusted in his heart and get foreign policy advice from his 12 year old when not being chased by imaginary rabbits.
Clinton - all bets off with this serial gropist who not only does it, drags whole nation and accusers through mud before finally having to admit when confronted with proof, but has nerve to give the reason "because I could" as his rationale.
Mark my words, either Kerry pedophile and/or Edwards gay.
I had that thought too, but the article said the pardon was in 1981, so Jimmah did this on his way out the White House doors (don't let the door hit you in the ass-Jimmah).
No, Carter pardoned him as Prez in 1981. Also Patty Hearst, the guy who tried to kill Truman, and he commuted the sentence of G. Gordon Liddy so he could go be a talk show host ;-) Way to go, Jimmah, ya dope!
the debt most Americans suffered through high unemployment, high interest rates and high inflation.
Uhmm... is this the same daughter that basically has become a "bastard" because her father nullified his marriage with her mother?
He was probably made Kerrys daughters Godfather before he was ever convicted, we shouldnt make a big deal out of this kind of crap, it will only hurt us in the long run.
