ATLANTA - Fourteen members of a Carter Center advisory board who worked to build support for the human rights organization started by former President Jimmy Carter and his wife have resigned in protest over Carter's latest book.

The resignations, announced Thursday, are the latest in a backlash against the former president's book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," which has drawn fire from Jewish groups, been attacked by fellow Democrats and led to the resignation last month of Kenneth Stein, a Carter Center fellow and a longtime Carter adviser.

Just read on FR yesterday that Carter and bubba are starting a new Southern Baptist organization for Southern Baptists who aren't narrow minded. Should we laugh or cry!

Cry for anyone who joins.

They can call themselves what they will, the Lord will not be mocked!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

The only people who would join those two liberals would be pro-choice, and I hope Baptists are pro-life.

Perfect juxtaposition. Bubba and karter announce their intention to form a more perfect Southern Baptist Church and fourteen members of the Carter Center resign to protest his anti semitic book.

Bubba and the anti semite ~ perfect together.
