Lieberman: Carter Is 'Naive' at Best
Thursday , April 17, 2008
Former President Jimmy Carter met another top Hamas official Thursday in a Cairo hotel and planned to meet more officials in Syria Friday, drawing the ire of dozens of U.S. lawmakers.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., told FOX News that "at best, President Carter is being naive" in trying to negotiate with avowed terrorists. "There is a long list of people who thought they could reason with dictators and killers, going back to Neville Chamberlain and Hitler in the 1930s, but it has been shown to be absolutely wrong."
Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., told FOX News that she advocates revoking Carter's passport and supports a measure to withdraw all federal funding from his Georgia-based institution, the Carter Center.
"We have a policy in this country about Hamas and he is deliberately undermining that policy," Myrick said. "Why should we support his center when he will not support his government?"

I think the adjectives “fool” and “buffoon” better describe Carter.
Benedict Arnold had more honor in his leg than Jimmy Carter has in his whole body.
No doubt about it.
About frickin' time.
Probably that Carter is a drooling, old, anti-Semitic, anti-American moronic looney idiot who ought to be locked up for his own good and the good of the world. And, in this case, I agree with Lieberman.
An ex-president in a Cabinet role??
I highly doubt it.
Would someone please tell Joe Lieberman to get out of the Democratic Party for good? He deserves a much better deal than the “leaders” of his party have given him!
isnt' he an Independent? he sides with the Dems because he is truly liberal at heart...
True, plus, if you don't caucus with somebody in the Senate, you have no power.
As far as I'm concerned, Joe can stay where he is. There are way too many libs in the Rep. party already. He's more useful scolding his own kind about their pro-terrorist tendencies from the moral high ground that "independent" liberals all think they occupy.
Joe, Joe, Joe,....stop this political correctness already!! You’re a Jew and you are making excuses for the old peanut geezer that that he is just losing his mind and not really addressing this dummies anti semitism.
Say it like you should...revoke his passport, take away his Secret Service detail since he is plotting sedition against the USA and if he wants to be belly up close with the terrorists, he should renounce his Christianity and become a convert to Islam and move to Gaza. Anyway, he is a traitor already to the American people.
Eh, I just realized that I didn't complete my thought there. The point was supposed to be that, if power is Joe's motive in choosing whom to caucus with, it makes sense to side with the party he thinks is more likely to be in power for the next few years, which means the Dems.
Amen. Let him stay with his terrorist buddies, and let the Carter Center get its funding through private donations.
Can't improve on that remark. Bump.
