SPIEGEL INTERVIEW WITH JIMMY CARTER

SPIEGEL ONLINE ^ | 08/15/2006 | SPIEGEL

[Gay State Conservative]

There was a time when I thought of Jimmah as a lousy President but a decent guy.Now I realize that he's just lousy.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Former US president Jimmy Carter: "I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon.""

And it's exactly this view of foreign policy that let the islamic fascist's ideas take hold and grow in the 1970's. Thank you for nothing Democats and Jimmah Carter!

[KosmicKitty]

Can we disown him??

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

democratic party - home of idiots and cowards. run away, little boy. run away.

[Samwise]

Under all of its predecessors there was a commitment to peace instead of preemptive war. Our country always had a policy of not going to war unless our own security was directly threatened and now we have a new policy of going to war on a preemptive basis.

We had every moral and legal right to go after Iraq. Iraq didn't live up to it's obligations to the cease fire of the Gulf War. We just picked up where we left off--what we should've done the first time. What would you have Bush do, Jimmy? Disarm Hussein with eight helicopters?

[jeremiah]

I have GOT to read this, just to see how low a man can go to drink out of the MSM trough.

[gov_bean_ counter]

With glasses and a hat he would look like Mr. Planter.

[landerwy]

I did 27 years ago. When he said " I give Iran 7 to 10 days to release the hostages" I knew we were in deep trouble!

[TexasRepublic]

What a dog!

A poor comparison. Dogs are faithful and have better judgement.

[River_Wrangler]

Can't believe I used to think Billy was the dumb one.

[tumblindice]

Anyone know where 'Liver-lips' Plains family plot is located?
I've already got the beer rented . . . BdoubleEdoubleRUN.

Road-trip! We should make plans now.

[pepsionice]

We must be honest...Jimmy was the least capable executive running for president in 1976. His skills over four years left alot to be desired. And we can be truthful in that Bill Clinton was much more talented both as a politican and as a governor. Jimmy can be best described as a fair failure as a president, and would have easily lost even against a Bob Dole candidacy in 1980...and thats saying alot.

[Valin]

Former US president Jimmy Carter: "I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon."

There that's more truthful.

[meandog]

Carter: Under all of its predecessors there was a commitment to peace instead of preemptive war. Our country always had a policy of not going to war unless our own security was directly threatened and now we have a new policy of going to war on a preemptive basis. Another very serious departure from past policies is the separation of church and state, which I describe in the book. This has been a policy since the time of Thomas Jefferson and my own religious beliefs are compatible with this. The other principle that I described in the book is basic justice. We've never had an administration before that so overtly and clearly and consistently passed tax reform bills that were uniquely targeted to benefit the richest people in our country at the expense or the detriment of the working families of America.

Carter's very words prove him unqualified for presidential status. He's an idiot who's never studied American History. If he had he would have known that the wars of 1812, Mexican, Spanish-American, and the declaration against Nazi Germany were all "preemptive" where our "security was not directly threatened"

Carter, you mold on a two-week old yard turd, you mucus gnatbread that festers on a dog's privates in the heat of August, you pustule on a filthy sypthletic, when will you finally die of agonizing pancreatic cancer and get on your way to hell?

[Idaho Whacko]

I am amazed that liberals are so insane that they fail to see Jimmy Carter as the complete and total failure that he is.

He engouraged terrorists by his cowardice (Iran)
He encouraged communist expansion by his stupidity and duplicity (Afganistan, Central America).
He did not and does not believe in American Exceptionalism ("Malaise")
He destroyed the economy (20% inflation, gas shortages)
He is a traitor (tried to get the USSR to help him win re-election)
He slapped the vets in the face (by pardoning draft dodgers)
He put us at risk of nuclear war (by negotiating a jackassed treaty with N.Korea that they ignored)

I know I missed some things, I was about 12 when he was voted out of office.

[SF Republican]

Billie was the best of the lot.

[Question_Assumptions]

Maybe Bush should just boycott the Olympics until Al Qaeda gives up, right Jimmy?

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Carter: "The fundamentalists (Christian) believe they have a unique relationship with God, and that they and their ideas are God's ideas and God's premises on the particular issue. Therefore, by definition since they are speaking for God anyone who disagrees with them is inherently wrong. And the next step is: Those who disagree with them are inherently inferior, and in extreme cases -- as is the case with some fundamentalists around the world -- it makes your opponents sub-humans, so that their lives are not significant."

So when is Carter going to start realizing that HE is sub-human?

If I go, I hope I have three or four beers.
