Carter Nixes Debate With Outspoken Prof

Former President Carter turned down a request to debate Alan Dershowitz about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying the outspoken Harvard law professor "knows nothing about the situation."
Carter, author of a new book advocating "peace not apartheid" in the region, said he will not visit Brandeis University to discuss the book because the university requested he debate Dershowitz.
"I don't want to have a conversation even indirectly with Dershowitz," Carter said in Friday's Boston Globe. "There is no need ... to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine."
"President Carter said he wrote the book because he wanted to encourage more debate; then why won't he debate?" said Dershowitz,...
Brandeis was founded in 1948 as a nonsectarian university under the sponsorship of the American Jewish community. Carter said he initially was interested in going there.
"I thought it would be a good idea to go to a campus that had a lot of Jewish students and get a lot questions," he said. But then the initial proposal evolved into a plan for a debate.

He was like that when we were on the way to kick Iran's butt in 1980 - he froze. What a chicken.
To: george76
As I recall, his last public debates were a humiliating embarassment. A "B" rated , know nothing Hollywood actor made him look like an idiot.
I guess he still remembers that his thinking will not stand up to any logical scrutiny of any intelligent man.
Jimmy Carter, a loser by forfeit.

Hey Jimmah, I guess the sting from the 1980 debate is still raw? Still fresh in your mind?
You want to dish it out, but can't take it? Big mouth, and no guts. No guts, I guess some things never change.
Go back to Rosalyn and hide behind her skirt you coward.

He provided N. Korea with nuclear power and the potential to gain access to nuclear weapons. Because of that, N. Korea is empowering Al Qaeda to throw the entire Middle East out of balance by introducing nuclear weapons to terrorists.
Like ALL democrats and moderate republicans, Pres. Carter, uh Jimmah, is about as stupid and useless as a post.

Dershowitz would eat him for lunch. I'd pay to see it.No doubt little Al remembers the public butt whipping he received at the hands of Alan Keyes, and he would have his revenge on little Jimmah. I agree, Dershowitz would tear Jimmah a new one.

"President Carter said he wrote the book because he wanted to encourage more debate; then why won't he debate?" A "debate" to a liberal means you sit down and listen to them talk.

LOL! A professor of mine in a graduate Old English class said that the berserkers were violent from childhood -- psychopathic, if you will. Instead of trying to train them out of it, the tribe encouraged it for use . . . well, as your link describes.
I'm serious about Dershowitz, though. I can't remember when -- the 70s or early 80s maybe, the Herald used to run a column by Dershowitz. I don't know if it was syndicated or just in the Herald (or if the Herald went by that name!), but I'd usually glance at his column -- and on most topics, I'd just shudder and move on. But I always thought his columns on Israel were spot on!

Rabbit of Caerbannog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog is a fictional beast from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. According to Tim the Enchanter, it "[has] a vicious streak a mile wide!" The creature has become known as the vorpal bunny, although this name does not appear in the film.
"That's no ordinary rabbit!"Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The Cave of Caerbannog ("Caer bannog" being Welsh for "turreted castle") is the home of the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh, and is ostensibly guarded by a fearsome predator of an unknown description, because no one who attempts to enter the Cave or face the monster has ever survived.
In the film, King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table are led to the Cave of Caerbannog by Tim the Enchanter, and find that they must face down the beast.
The beast appears to be a cute, fluffy white rabbit, surrounded by the bones of the fallen. Despite Tim's warnings, King Arthur orders one of his knights, Bors, to slay the rabbit. Bors approaches it, sword drawn, and is immediately decapitated by the rabbit to the sound of a can opener. The knights attack in force, but are driven into retreat as the rabbit leaps and attacks killing another two knights.
Only the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch allows the knights to defeat the beast and proceed into the cave.
OK, so it is my first cut and paste post ever. BUT, do you know how much trouble it took for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to capture and transport that fearsome bestie across the Atlantic in this attempt? If Carter didn't have the fishing pole the Panama Canal would still belong to us and not the Communist Chinese.

Carter can't debate. Reagan proved that.
