Can you possibly image what the main stream press would have done to this guy had he been a Republican?
Oh, please! Who cares if he realizes he's evil or not. Did Hitler and Stalin realize they were evil? The effect of his writings and dealings is to promote dictatorships and suffering. He doesn't care two s**ts about the underdog. He cares about discrediting and destroying America. Enough of this pop psychobabble!
Because some of his best friends are Jews?
Slam and dunk!
Nonsense.
Subtracting a sufficient element of mens rea from his behavior is tantamount to an insanity defense.
I can see that.
There's a type of Southerner, usually a small-town middle class social climber, who can't STAND Jews. They haven't got any good reason, they're just suspicious that somehow they haven't risen in life as they should have, and they just want somebody to blame. You'll see small town dowagers hold this view as well as losers like Carter -- it's fairly common among older Southerners of that type but thankfully seems to be dying out in the younger generation.
I think in Carter's case he managed to hide his mean-spirited and bigoted attitudes for many years, but now in his old age he can't seem to control himself as well as he used to. Maybe it's creeping senility, I dunno.
He has always been a mean and vengeful little man. Just now everybody knows it.
Cuz he's clueless and incompetent?
In Catechism class I learned that to sin three conditions must exist. (1) The act must be evil. (2) The person must know the act is evil. (3) The person must freely choose to perform the evil act. As every eight-year-old with an ounce of reasoning capability concludes: If you are really stupid, you have it made. Carter has it made.
"If I get back in, I'm going to f*ck the Jews."
--President Jimmy Carter, 1980"

In Dangerous Liaison: The Inside Story of the U.S.-Israeli Covert Relationship, Andrew and Leslie Cockburn revealed that during a March 1980 meeting with his senior political advisers, Carter, discussing his fading reelection prospects and his sinking approval rating in the Jewish community, snapped, “If I get back in, I’m going to [expletive] the Jews.”
I thought the 70's were great! We had the best muscle cars and good rock, (only dweebs listened to disco and wore those stupid "Mod" leisure suits, shirts with large collars unbuttoned half ways, thick and cheap gold plated chains, beetle boots, and completed the look with an afro, whether you were white or not) and they finally invented a cassette player for cars.
Obviously this guy makes up his facts of convenience. Morning In America was a slogan from the 1984 re-election cmpaign. Not 1980.
Forgive me, but didn't Reagan crush Mondale with that slogan?
Maybe it's creeping senility, I dunno.
I am sure it is and I think he has had it for a long time. I am still mad over him telling us we shouldn't put up Christmas lights to conserve energy. And don't forget his ratty sweater he always wore. I can't and I have tried many times to think of a single thing he has done besides Habitat for Humanity.....He didn't start it either. In 1968, Millard Fuller, businessman and lawyer from Alabama, and Dr. Clarence Jordan, founder of Koinonia Farms in Americus, Georgia, began work to eliminate substandard housing in Sumter County, Georgia. Jimmy Carter became a volunteer in 1986. Thats the best thing I can think of he did though I could be wrong...
Someone needs to put the bong down before starting to type.
How else can inane statements like this make their way into print? "Nelson Mandela rose to become the world's greatest statesman with his articulation of brotherhood and reconciliation."
Necklacing is reconciliation? And in just what way did the slightly reformed African tribal nut and his infamous wife help Aouth Africa? Other than help it to start down the path that Rhodesia travelled?
That's about as good a summation of Carter as you're ever going to get.
Emphasis mine.
He is not wise enough to realize he is evil.
Actually the best thing he did was to have a daughter and NO sons.
