Former President Jimmy Carter told NBC News on Monday that he places Nelson Mandela alongside Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa as exemplars of inspiration and moral virtue in world history.
In an interview with Brian Williams from Johannesburg, the 39th president said that Mandela belongs among figures to be looked upon “with a great deal of admiration.”
“They weathered very difficult times, they came through with flying colors, they inspired other people,” Carter said. “I think that Nelson would go down in history as one of the leading people of the century.”

This craziness has to be addressed at some point.
Is it because all of their names start with the letter M? lol
Mother Teresa
Mahatma Gandhi
Nelson Mandela
Martin Luther King Jr.
:-P
No Thanks - I’ll take men like Washington & Henry and many of the other founders as my inspiration and heroes.
To the headline: puke
He's counting on his sycophants to ask the same question without irony.
Nelson and Winnie might have necklaced Jimmy back in the day, then his buddy Arafat could have blown up his corpse while Chavez took all his belongings.
Jimmy had great friends before they all died.
Watch out - Zero and his Holliwierd commies will be on AF-1 as soon as he dies!
I wish that man would shut up.
At this particular moment in time, oscamma belongs RIGHT next to mandela.
(Stated with tongue firmly planted in cheek.)
“he places Nelson Mandela alongside Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa”
Yeah. They are all D.E.D.
Democrats always embrace Communist Terrorists.It goes back to their roots in slavery.
Ol PeanutPerson is correct in that Nelson & Winnie Mandela succeeded in placing South Africa on the road to Zimbabwe-hood.
Were there any justice on Earth, Nelson would be stuffed into a stolen tractor tire and “neclaced”.
And, to show both her utter devotion to both her dead husband and true Commie “Multi-Kulti” - why, she should “Suttee” herself.
Good enough for Indians should be good enough for her.
Just sayin’.
Did Ghandi give political opponents flaming necklaces? Mother Theresa?
Well, except for that mother Teresa didnt procure and use weapons from the former Soviet Union. But carter does like to remind how in a different world he lives in
Dope
But then again, Carter belongs somewhere between slime molds and garden slugs.
I remember an old outhouse on a farm in Missouri, and folks can guess where I think Carter and Obama belong.
Mandela soils the memory of these folks.
Gandhi, Teressa, and King did not participate in bombing commerce centers knowing innocent people would be killed or maimed. Their spouses did not put tires around the necks of their fellow citizens, fill them with gas, and light them on fire.
Carter is a master at outdoing his previous stupid acts and statements.
Carter has his own “Mandela.” That man was named Robert Mugabe.
Carter and Andrew Young were instrumental in turning Rhodesia-Zimbabwe over to Mugabe and his ZANU party. That guy didn’t turn out to be such a hero....
The ONLY thing that made peace in South Africa possible, and the ANC’s peaceful takeover of the government - was the collapse of the Soviet Union.
That’s actually a pretty good list of people not nearly as cool as their PR.
“Carter: Mandela belongs next to MLK, Gandhi and Mother Teresa”
Wrong, again, Peanut Boy. He belongs next to Castro, Arafat, and Mugabe.
LOL- And Jimmy belongs on Mt. Rushmore,too
