Jimmy Carter: At Least Hamas Isn't Corrupt [ Barf Alert ]
The New Media Journal ^ | January 28, 2006 | Jim Kouri

Posted on 01/29/2006 9:43:24 PM PST by george76

When asked by the media for his thoughts on the Hamas triumph in the Palestinian parliamentary elections, former President Jimmy Carter replied that while they have a terrorist past, at least they're not corrupt.

One of the complaints by many in the Middle East was the corruption within the Palestinian Authority and Yasser Arafat's Fatah Party.

Arafat himself squirreled away millions of dollars from aid packages that were intended to help the Palestinian people.

However, Carter's comment appears to dismiss the years of death and destruction perpetrated by Hamas on the Jewish State.

One of the first statements made by the leaders of Hamas rebuffed demands to disarm and change its charter. Part of Hamas' charter is the total destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic nation.

Israelis are in shock over this development and they wonder how they will be able to negotiate with these newly empowered Islamic Jihadists in their midst.

It's one thing to fight terrorists living in the shadows, but quite another thing to deal with them when the are legally elected officials in a sovereign nation that borders the Israeli State.

Tehran sent its congratulations to “the Palestinians, the Hamas movement, all Palestinians combatants, and the great Islamic [jihad].”

Jimmy Carter: The most inept president in history, the biggest p%$#y on the planet, and the best friend any totalitarian dictator ever had.

Carter's mentality appears to dimiss anything other than his delusional state of mind.

>>>Also, another prominent contemporary was good to his dog - AND he didn't even smoke or drink - and was a vegetarian. Yes, it was Hitler.>>>

I have found that most vegetarians have a huge disdain for humans (as Hitler did obviously) and is quite obvious with PETA.

They will use all the aid money to build bomb belts and qassam rockets instead of sending it into their private offshore bank accounts.

They are too corrupt, it's just that nobody is allowed to say it.

Bibi will not make the mistake of trying to appease the unappeasable again, I hope. I'm confident he won't.

Carter either lives in an alternate reality, is smoking an illegal substance, popping or shooting up an illegal substance or he is a lying, rat, scum sucking, bottom dweller that should have his citizenship voided.

Use your imagination to see how this post relates to the thread.

When I first start dating my husband many years ago, my mom had an obnoxious chihuahua(sp). The dog was 10 years old. ALL my friends hated the dog (even dog lovers). All I could tell my future husband was that there was only hope that the dog was old and would pass away before too long.

It was unbelievable that darn dog lived 7 more years even with epilepsy and no teeth. It was torture. My mom cried when he died. Not too many tears shed from others though.

Yeah, I wasn't putting in a good word for Castro, Ho or any other communist. But, in Carter's world, they apparently aren't corrupt. Another example I should have used, that directly relates to Carter is the Shah. "The Shah is corrupt!" So, let's support the evil Ayatollah and find other ways to destabilize the Middle East while we're at it!

You omitted the 20% inflation and interest rates that Carter gave us!
