"The resignations came a day after Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo and officials at Brandeis University said Carter will discuss the book at the Waltham, Mass., campus. The Nobel Peace Prize winner will not, however, debate the book with outspoken Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, as Brandeis originally proposed."

Not much of a discussion at this point....LOL!

The Center may have accepted money from terrorist financial supporters which would mean someone's got to go to jail.

If I recall, Dershowtiz, wrote 'The Case for Israel', a pretty good book, IMO. :)

Amazingly, Carter has managed to trash what minimal legacy he used to have...

"The Center may have accepted money from terrorist financial supporters which would mean someone's got to go to jail."

He would have done well to have left it at "Well, he was a stupid President but at least he may have meant well."

What law would apply? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

RICO and Homeland Security Law?

[tobyhill]

You're the lawdude and I'm sure there's got to be something in the Federal Law against giving or receiving money from terrorist or terrorist supporters and if not I'm in the wrong business.

Even Reaganites used to say "well, he is an upright man." That is getting hard to say.

[arthurus]

How soon before leftists start terming conservatives "Jew-lovers?" without paying for it in the MSN?

LOL

Triple K Carter should run for president again and have David Duke as his running mate.

[Candor7]

There are 200 board members of the Carter Center. They promote support for pace initiatives ( raise money). Fourteen of them resigned because of the anti-semetic positions Carter takes in his book.

I guess Carter needs a dose of Islamofascist peace. To give him that dose, he simply needs someone to shove the barrel of an AK-47 up the former Presidents left nostril, and repeatedly pull the trigger on an empty chamber while changing magazines in which there might be one round.

Having experienced Islamofascist peace, perhaps he might then be off to edit his book, the simplistic ramblings of a old man who is in the primary stages of progressive dementia, and who doesn't know which side of the butter his bread is on.

Why anyone takes him seriously is anybodies guess.

[Star Traveler]

Well, I can paraphrase it instead...

---

It says that there are 14 members on Jimmy Carter's advisory board to his human rights organization. And ALL FOURTEEN of them resigned. They did it in protest to his book which they said was unfair and also full of inaccuracies.

[my comment: now this is very telling for all 14 members to resign over the lies that Carter was telling in his book. That tells you a lot about what Carter is about.]

The book is "Palestine: Peaces Not Apartheid". These resignations are the latest backlash to his book. It's gotten hits from Jewish groups and Democrats, too. There was the resignation, last month, of Kenneth Stein, who was a longtime Carter advisor.

A quote from the letter that the 14 sent is - "You have clearly abandoned your historic role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for one side."

Carter's book starts with Carter's time of being President in 1977-1980, includincluding the peace accord between Israel and Egypt that he negotiated. In the book he is most critical of Israel, over and above the Palestinians and the U.S.

Steve Berman, one of those who resigned and is an Atlanta real estate developer said that members have "watched with great dismay" as Carter defended his book and implied that Americans may be afraid to talk about the situation because of the powerful "Jewish Lobby." He said that the resignations were not related to anyone's religious affiliations.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, who is dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Los Angeles, siad that Carter "has only himself to blame" for these resignations.

The Central Conference of American Rabbis, consisting of nearly 2,000 Reform rabbis, are canceling their visit to Carter's center, in order to protest his book.

Apparently, Carter does not want to debate about his book with Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law Professor, when Carter comes there to speak about his book.

[my comment: it sounds like Carter is realy being exposed for the fool that he is...]
