Report: Jimmy Carter to Meet With Hamas Leader in Syria
Fox News ^ | 4/8/2008 | Joseph Abrams

NEW YORK CITY — Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.

Deanna Congileo, Carter’s press secretary, confirmed in an e-mail to FOXNews.com that Carter will be in the Mideast in April. Pressed for comment, Congileo did not deny that the former president is considering visiting Meshal.

“President Carter is planning a trip to the Mideast next week; however, we are still confirming details of the trip and will issue a press release by the end of this week,” wrote Congileo. “I cannot confirm any specific meetings at this point in time.”

"“It’s about par for the course from President Carter, demonstrating a lack of judgment typical of what he does," said John Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations."

This is the man that the pubbies should be running for President. (Bolton, NOT carter). Does this lune carter still recieve SS protection?

They didn’t do it to Pelosi. What makes you think they would enforce it against an ex-president

Unfortunately the Logan Act is worded to prohibit private citizen diplomacy with a foreign govt. or officials, and Hamas does not qualify as a govt. In any case the Logan Act has never been enforced, ever. And with ‘Rats like Pelosi and Rockefeller dancing off to kiss Syrian terrorist-enabling butt over the years, it’s pretty hard to imagine any new precedent is suddenly going to be established for the treasonous Jimmy Carter..... but really, what a vicious terrorist-loving, Jew-hating SOS that Jimmy Carter is.... he is actively working for the destruction of Israel and the promotion of jihad terrorism more widely, whatever he may pretend.......

Just when you think that Jimmy Carter couldn’t be a bigger ahole if he tried, he goes and does something that proves you wrong.

Pull his passport....don’t let him back in the U.S.

Except with Carter it would be more like the “Ransom of Red Chief” where the kidnappers in final desperation, smuggle him back into the States just to be rid of an incredible pest.

He’s such a scumbag. I’m glad the first presidential vote I cast was for Gerald Ford.


Hey, me too.

Back in 1976 long before the word sheeple was invented, I can remember strolling through a hotel in Madison WI the night that Ford lost where the Carterites were celebrating and saying “Baa baa baa” while walking through the crowd. Remember it like it was yesterday.

Thank God he is as totally ineffective as a diplomat as he
was president. No one, I mean NO one, takes him seriously.

Except maybe the thugs he schmoozes with. He should have
his passport revoked as a traitor.
