"Dersh"

I'm hardly a fan of his, but not only is he right about Israel, he is also on the correct side in the academia debate. He is against all the leftist totalitarianism exhibited by the leftist professors who dominate all the colleges. And he has severely criticized attacks by leftists on conservatives who try to speak or publish on college. Dersh might not be a conservative, but he is right on a few issues.

It's no good. Carter's as dense as a brick.

Here's the bottom line on the Dersh. Is he still a liberal democrat and does he still go to bat for murderers?

Our worst president ever, even worse than Billy Jeff.

When you read this, you understand why Dhimmi Carter doesn't want to debate Dershowitz... He would be outgunned and routed in 5 seconds!

Oh, but I would love to see that, wouldn't you?

from a Saudi bailout of his peanut farm in 1976

mean?

Wasn't he president then?

Carter was elected in the 1976 election. So that would have been while he was a candidate...which seems to mean that he accepted foreign money for his campaign and laundered it through the peanut farm.

Carter is in some ways much worse than Clinton.

Basically, this is immaterial to the argument at hand. You are going off on a tangent. On this issue Dersh is correct. Stick to the issue.

I know what you mean about the OJ thing, but it seems that most of those involved in an important way have found ways to redeem themselves: Barry Scheck seems to have devoted himself to LEGITIMATE DNA cases with the goal of freeing the innocent with scientific evidence, Robert Bernstein has made indirect and elliptical statements disavowing himself from the verdict, knowing it was NOT a good verdict, Johnny Cochran has (thankfully) gone to the great Courtroom in the Sky, Dershowitz has come up with this and other right-on statements, --though he was all wet with his animosity to the Clinton "Sexual McCarthyism" effort, and Howard Weitzman, had the good sense simply to LEAVE the trial, for undisclosed reasons. As the years go by, there are fewer and fewer people who even TRY to pretend they think OJ was "innocent"---the most they will claim, like his friend Leo Terrell, who Hannity has on regularly, is that he was found "not guilty" in a court of law. Everyone seems to have just been "caught up in the excitement of the moment", and jumped blindly into a case that at first seemed designed to be the highest of high profile media events. But you're right, no matter WHAT they do , they will ALWAYS be the ones who apparently could NOT RESIST exploiting all the career-building benefits that the OJ Trial offered. As such, unless they some day do PUBLIC penance, they will eventually have to make amends with the appropriate authorities.

Hmmmm...didn't know about the Karma effect, though, in these instances it serves usefully as a "primer" for what to expect by way of a coming to terms in one's later years for what one has done in this life. I suppose a more fitting Karmic Catharsis for all those who put their talents in the service of OJ, would be for them all, say, to get decapitated in some group skiing accident in Aspen.
The Islamic practice of throat-slitting has perhaps sobered some of them up in the last five years, as they come to acknowledge that their boy OJ was an adept secular practitioner of such "arts". In fact, come to think of it, how many throat slittings can you think of happening in the USA SINCE the OJ murder? Two? Four? But dozens and dozens left behind as bloody calling cards in the wake of the ongoing global Jihad.
And I don't know why I referred to Shapiro as Robert Bernstein, which is the name of an old dermatologist of mine.

"For instance, it was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), founded in Pakistan and fronted by a Saudi billionaire, Gaith Pharaon, that helped Carter start up his beloved Carter Center."

$13 Million I've read with money going also to Jesse Jackson and Andrew Young.
