Jimmy Carter shows how hateful he is during King speech
Self | 2-7-2006 | Thanatos

Posted on 02/07/2006 2:38:58 PM PST by Thanatos

Jimmy Carter shows his only colors are all partisan.. Deciding to desecrate the funeral of Coretta Scott King , the former president decided to ignore the grief of the King Family, to throw away the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr., and focused his speech on attacking the President of the United States. Why? Because he could so he did.

This is the essence of hate.. Why the Left Wing is so bereft of leadership, bereft of a path, bereft of morals. Their whole platform is simple hate. “I hate the President”, “I hate the USA”, “I hate Children”, “I hate the fact you have more money then me”.. That is their platform.. Jimmy Carter FAILED to protect this nation and for 444 days, Carter allowed American Citizens be used at pawns in a Terrorist uprising and allowed the overthrow of Iran, the Same country instigating a Worldwide Nuclear Crises.. This is the legacy of Jimmy Carter because he FAILED to protect the American People against Terrorist. And he is complaining and whining because THIS President IS Protecting Americans from the same threats Carter faced??

I personally think Carter and the Democrats are just basically jealous. A Republican is winning where the Democrats failed and allowed Americans to Die at the Hands of Terrorist.. Bush is Saving Americans, so he is to be totally hated.

I Demand that Ex-President Jimmy Carter immediately apologize to the King Family and to Apologize to the American People for his hate speech!

The President did the right thing by going to the funeral and acting like an adult.

Carter is a bitter old man. He knows his Presidency will go down in history as a failure.

I lived through his presidency and came out flat broke and out of business. His administration was much worse than a simple failure, it was an unmitigated disaster both at home and abroad.

The only thing that kept him from being the worst president in American history was Bill Clinton. And that was only because Clinton is a traitor who sold military secrets to our enemy. IMHO Carter should be jailed for criminal incompetence, and Clinton should be in Leavenworth for betraying his nation to the enemy.

Oh, Carter did his bit for treason, too. What he did to the military should have been punished under treason laws.

Commercialism mars King legacy

2/4/2006
By LEONARD PITTS

I interviewed Coretta Scott King once. It cost $5,000.

In 1985, I approached the Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta seeking that interview and permission to use old audio of Coretta's husband for a radio documentary. I was told it would cost five grand for the audio rights, and it was made clear that unless that money was paid, there would be no interview.

The ethical constraints of a radio production house are different from those of a news organization; we made the deal. I didn't like it, but I rationalized it by telling myself it was an honor to contribute to the upkeep of a legendary legacy.

Amazing what you can make yourself believe.

Coretta Scott King died this week, five months after suffering a heart attack and stroke. She is being widely and lavishly eulogized. "A remarkable and courageous woman," said the president. "A staunch freedom fighter," said the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

The praise is deserved. There was majesty and grace in Coretta Scott King, a strength of heart that was displayed nowhere more clearly than at her husband's death. Like Jacqueline Kennedy before her, she mourned inconceivable loss with awesome dignity. Since then, she has been a tireless defender of the dream her husband articulated in August of 1963.

She shielded it against racism, pessimism and defeatism. She was less successful against commercialism.

And I don't mean the piddling $5,000. That's a small symptom of the larger malady. I refer you to the King family's 1993 lawsuit against USA Today for reprinting the "I Have A Dream" speech and their subsequent licensing of King's image and voice for use in television commercials, one of which placed him between Homer Simpson and Kermit the Frog. Then there's the attempt to sell his personal papers for $20 million. Perhaps most galling was the family's demand to be paid to allow construction of a King monument on the Washington Mall.

Yes, it's all legal. But if Dr. King's life taught us nothing else, it taught us that legality and morality are not necessarily the same.

I don't mind the King family making money. But not at the cost of Martin Luther King's dignity. Granted, dignity is subjective, and you might draw the line in a different place than I. But I suspect most of us would agree that when a martyr, minister and American hero becomes a TV character hawking cell phones with Homer Simpson, that line has been well and truly crossed.

Coretta Scott King founded the King Center, and it has always been controlled by the family. So it seems plain that she approved this money-grubbing or at least tolerated it. And as a result, her kids have lost their minds.

Particularly the sons, Martin III and Dexter, recently seen publicly feuding over which one will have the six-figure job of running the King Center. Meantime, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution tells us the facility is in need of $11 million in repairs and that $4.2 million of center money has been paid since 2000 to a company Dexter owns. This would be the same Dexter who, in 1995, visited Graceland for tips on how to exploit his father's image as Lisa Marie Presley has exploited her father's.

Martin Luther King, it seems necessary to say, was not Elvis Presley. He was a man who stood for something and died for something. That something was not profit. That something belonged to all of us. One wonders if the loss of their mother will shock his children into understanding this.

I'd like to think so. But had you visited the King Center Web site three days after Coretta died looking for a tribute, here's what you'd have found: a press release, a quote from Dr. King, and a request for money. "Make an online donation in loving memory," it said.

You can do it if you want. Me, I gave at the office.

Carter is simply a bitter Communist that KNOWS he will go down in history as a feckless imbecile - who blew his chance at greatness by being too ignorant, weak, cowardly and petty.

It must anger the stupid bastard - to see that ONLY the most ignorant and uneducated Americans still regard him with any respect..

Carter is perhaps the only man less fit for the office of President, than was Clinton -- but it was close...

America must remember them both -- and avoid repetition of the insanity of putting a leftist liberal in office during times of National danger.

Semper Fi

If Carter would have gotten one more term, the Russians would have been able to invade the US.

To the Dims the King Family, just like ALL other minorities, is just a vehicle to aid their unbridled lust for power. It is this lust for power (NOT hatred of Bush) that motivates them and dictates their every move. This lust for power blinds them to everything else. And the minorities just play right into their hands; to their total and never-ending detriment. They have been permanently seduced by the Dims, who are without any ethical sense or core values. The Klintoons set the standard for using and then discarding their pawns.

And Carter conveniently forgets -- as do many Democrats -- their party's despicable history regarding civil rights; a history recently chronicled at:

Actually I think this president is trying to clean up the mess that got out of hand during Carter's "presidency".

The damage that one-term Jimmy did to the United States can never be calculated.
Enormous damage on all fronts.

Carter is just a senile old coot who belongs in a rest home. Hey Jimmy, why don't you talk about something you know... like how great Depends work.

He's less than irrelevant.

I see as much hate on this thread if not more than anything Carter said.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the current leader of Iran was one of the terrorists responsible for holding Americans during the Carter Administration.
