Sometimes 'piling on' is a good thing.

Dhimmi Carter bemoans that he is called anti Semite these days. I say "If the shoe fits, wear it"
I say he's been anti Semitic and dismissive of Israel for years. He cares only about the Arabs who fund his Carter Presidential Center
Carter stupidly or evilly (probably both) calls for Israel to give up the Golan Heights and all territories and this will give them peace with the Arabs. This translates into Carter being anti Jewish because destroying Israel is anti Jewish, anti Semitic if you will

This I've never been called an antisemite is a bunch of whining. It goes back to his first Presidential campaign. As the Brandeis paper notes, he's lying.

In '76, Brandeis pres told Jews not to dislike Carter

Over three decades ago, former President Jimmy Carter turned to Brandeis to gain favor with the American Jewish community.

As intense media attention focuses on Carter's recent visit, Prof. Robert Greenberg (PHIL) said it's important to remember Carter was not entirely truthful when he said last Tuesday he had never been accused of anti-Semitism.

In a letter to the editor of The New York Times last week, Greenberg wrote, "This is neither the first time Mr. Carter faced the charge of anti-Semitism nor the first time he turned to Brandeis to bail him out."

Greenberg wrote that Carter faced accusations of anti-Semitism during his 1976 campaign for President. To clear his name, he sought assistance from his friend, former University President Morris Abram, who served from 1968-1970.

Abram wrote an op-ed in The New York Times on June 5, 1976 defending Carter. He encouraged Jews not to view Carter as intolerant simply because of his Evangelical Baptist beliefs.

He was the best Georgia governor, Abram wrote, because he was the first one to recognize that he governed over all races.

Abram wrote that he was impressed with Carter's record as governor, particularly with his appointment of a Jewish friend to be chairman of the Georgia University system.
