The only American president to publicly support Middle Eastern terrorism has completed a schmooze fest with a communist dictator in a country that appears on the U.S. State Department’s list of terrorist-sponsoring nations.
It marks the latest “humanitarian” mission for Jimmy Carter, who just a few years ago became the only American commander-in-chief to participate in a hug fest with the head of the world’s leading Middle Eastern terrorist group. During that highly-publicized Syrian jaunt, Carter met with Hamas Leader Khaled Meshal who runs his violent operation from Damascus to avoid being arrested by the Israeli government.
The sophisticated and well-funded Palestinian extremist group has for years appeared on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations and for a former president, or any western leader of Carter’s stature, to meet with its boss is inconceivable. Carter has long supported Palestinian extremism and justifies its violence as a reaction to Israeli apartheid. He even wrote a book ( "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid") about it in 2007.
This week the one-time Georgia peanut farmer made the rounds in Cuba, where he hung out with communist Dictator Fidel Castro and his brother Raul. Carter is the only sitting or former American president to visit the Caribbean island, also deemed a sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. government, since Castro took power in 1959. Carter also visited Cuba in 2002.
The plan behind this week’s little excursion was to discuss ways to “improve U.S.-Cuba relations,” according to a press release posted on the CarterCenter’s website. The center made sure to clarify that the trip is a “private, nongovernmental mission” and not any sort of official effort on the part of the Obama Administration. It will be interesting to see if Carter meets with Obama to chat about the Cuban escapade since both men want to lift decades-old sanctions against the country and develop a tighter relationship with the Castro brothers.
Not surprisingly, Carter took the opportunity to do some America-bashing during his stay on the island. He called on the U.S. government to take Cuba off the list of countries that sponsor terrorism, criticized America’s trade embargo against the oppressive communist dictatorship and insisted five convicted Cuban government spies be freed from federal prison. The men, known as the Cuban Five, were found guilty by a federal jury and have lost several appeals despite being represented by topnotch lawyers that most working Americans could never afford. Never the less, Carter called for the prompt return “to their homes in Cuba.”
What can you expect from a guy who commends Middle Eastern terrorists and calls Israel the “tiny vortex around which swirl the winds of hatred, intolerance and bloodshed?” Israeli subjugation and persecution has driven hopeless Palestinians to honor suicide bombers as martyrs and consider the killing of Israelis as victories, according to Carter.
Jimmy is worried that BO is overtaking him rapidly as the worst President of all time.
I feel sorry for the Secret Service Agents assigned to this creature. How they must submit form after form, praying to be transferred somewhere else .... anywhere else ....

Wow, where has the author been for the last, going on 3 years, sounded like he was describing Obama to me.
disgusting
Mr. Peanut passed that landmark a long time ago. We should just deny him passage back to this country, he has given up any rights to set foot back on our soil. Let him live out what few days he has left in KOOBA doing mutual masturbation with his BFF Fidel.
Agreed, I can’t imagine how disgusted his agents must be to follow this guy around the world badmouthing our country.
Now we know what they do with the agents that screw up. They probably don't ever fire one, they make them be the body guard to Jimmah, Slicko etc.
In a related story, the Sun rose in the East this morning.
“Jimmy Carter Bashes U.S. In Meeting With Communists”
That’s why they invited him.
If we want any $hit out of you we will squeeze your head.
The old peanut fart is trying to retake his “worst president” title from BO.....
Exactly. Jimmah should retire to an old folks home and give Americans a break.
"I see dead rabbits"......
I believe BO has beat him out on that one. But Jimmy still has a solid lock on the title of worst ex-president of all time.
Great pic of him, shows how far out of touch with reality he is.
