Good grief, Carter is worse than I thought, and that is not easy.

Carter could and would plead insanity and who could argue with that?

Thanks. I was a child of 9 I believe when Kennedy was killed and he took over. Too young for politics then, and the history books hadn't been written yet.

The main reason Clinton walks around with a smile on his face today is because thanks to Peanut Head, Clinton won't go down in history as the WORST POTUS EVER!!!

Whether or not this was the reason, I have posted many times that Jimmah Carter was essentially the cause of the radical Islamist foothold in the Middle East.

The Shah was a staunch US ally we had our warships in Iran and Iran was rich in oil.

Carter hated the Shah, wanted him deposed, and denied Iranian police non-lethal riot control weapons. This meant the police either had to surrender or shoot the rioters, which would bring on a revolution.

Carter got what he deserved. The debacle destroyed his presidency. Knowing what Carter did, how despicable was he to attack US policy on the eve of the anniversary of the taking hostage of our embassy?

The whole country knew Carter was an embarrasment, he lost to Reagan in a landslide. And the Iranians released our hostages as Reagan was being sworn in.

And we sold them one of our most advanced fighters of the time, the F-14. That says a lot on how close we were to them.

And I recall the ravings of the liberal MSM at the time. They loved the idea of Khomieni taking over and reviled the Shah. They even had little to say about the Embassy takeover and gave Carter a major pass on that display of RAT stupidity.

I actually used to think he was good-hearted. His nasty comments have proven I was wrong.

I almost feel that, were he the captain on a US nuclear sub, he would turn it over to the UN.

some days you don't know which was worse

Carter, clearly. As I watched his actions during the 70s I became personally convinced he was a traitor, working for the interests of the USSR and other enemies of America as this piece suggests. I haven't seen a single thing since to change that opinion. His anti-American legacy is still playing out. The Clinton we really have to watch out for was only co-President during the Willy presidency you refer to.

Yes, indeed, Carter bares a lot of responsibility for the defeat of the Shah of Iran, which gave rise to the resurgence of the extremist, fanatical Islam in Iran, gave it a base, from where to spread, eventually giving rise to terrorist groups, like Al Qaeda.

I agree. Don't forget that it was during Carter that the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.

I've since wondered if they would've had the brass ones to do this under Reagan. I think they saw a weak US and decided to go for it.

Even if only half of this is true, it's revealing about the contolling and conniving aspects of Carter's character. I thought it was especially dispicable when he, this supposedly Christian Sunday School teacher and U.S. President, refused the Shah's request for cancer treatment in this country.

No one has mentioned the boatloads of criminals he accepted from Castro who cleaned out his jails and sent them to our country.

Carter was at a Concord, NC, mall this week signing/selling his book, which has been panned by the WSL. The local paper reported 1500 books sold and people saying things like they were surprised that he's "just a regular guy." It made my skin crawl just to read of all that ignorance.

People said that about Ted Bundy... Some people refuse to accept history and reality.

Joe Lieberman is not bad. Many of the old-times Democrats like Truman.
