Carter: Universities blocked book promo
JTA ^ | December 9, 2006

Posted on 12/09/2006 2:49:04 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

Jimmy Carter said universities with substantial Jewish enrollment have blocked him from discussing his book “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid.”

“My most troubling experience has been the rejection of my offers to speak, for free, about the book on university campuses with high Jewish enrollment and to answer questions from students and professors,” Carter said in an Op-Ed published Friday in the Los Angeles Times. The former U.S. president made a similar charge in a C-Span interview earlier this week; asked to elaborate, he would not name the universities, except to say he was invited by individual professors, but turned down by the universities’ leadership.

Carter’s book, which blames most of the impasse in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on Israel’s settlement policy, is a New York Times No. 1 bestseller, and he has promoted it in multiple media appearances.

Shouldn't Carter have to pay them to come speak?

Keep talking, peanut boy. You're doing a terrific job of showing people the real face of the Democrat Party.

Maybe he can learn to be treated as conservative speakers have been treated. Live with it Jimmy, this is a creation of yours!

I would pay him to shut up.

Ford may not have been the best candidate but he was several light years better then this twit.

There should be no doubt what Carter's final solution is.

Sorry. If Carter can't (won't) name the alleged Jewish
University, then I seriously doubt it happened. Besides,
Carter is a liar. Why should we trust this tall tale.

As they should. No traitor should be allowed to support the enemy on our shores.

Yep. At least Ford did no harm like the doctor's creed.

Carter is irrelevant. He's apparently becoming increasingly senile and no longer embarrassing the country, but also himself. Painful to watch.

He says he was "invited by individual professors".
I think it's a rule that there has to be at least one Ward Churchill at every university.

Well, he can always get a prominent place at the next Democratic National Convention. They always like to display this pious fraud who failed his nation when he was president and seems intent on offering the most phony moral arguments about any Republican.

Yes, right here we have Carter telling us that in some places there are, in fact, too many Jews.

That's always the language of the violence-prone anti-semite.

No, I don't think he should be physically assaulted, just ignored.

I wouldn't go that far. He DID give us John Paul Stevens. Thankfully, Carter had no SCOTUS picks.
