Carter: ‘Inappropriate’ for U.S. to Block Member of Terrorist Group from Entering Country
Heritage Foundation ^ | 4 April 14 | Karen Jeffers

Posted on 04/05/2014 9:17:35 AM PDT by LSUfan

Former President Jimmy Carter yesterday said he is supportive of letting a known member of a terrorist group, Hamid Aboutalebi, into the United States as Iran’s newest ambassador to the United Nations.

Aboutalebi was a member of the Muslim student group who held 52 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for more than a year beginning in 1979 during Carter’s presidency.

When asked in an interview if the United States should block Aboutalebi’s entrance to U.N. headquarters in New York, Carter told radio station WTOP: “You know, those were college students at that time, and I think that they have matured. …I think it would be inappropriate for the United States to try to block someone that Iran wanted to choose.”

It just isn't fair that Ronald Reagan is no longer with us and this despicable phony still curses us with his rhetoric.

Yeah, Jimmy, you were really successful dealing with Iran.

Depose the Shah, put a terrorist in charge, and screw up when they invade our embassy and take our diplomats prisoner.

Maybe you’d like to be the next Ambassador to Iran. I’m sure Barry would really appreciate it if you offered to take the job.

Maybe he could stay at Jimmuh’s house. They could reminisce about the good ol’ days.

Jimmy Carter is pro-Islamist and an antisemite. Screw him.

Same exact bullstalin we were told about Bill Ayers, John Kerry, et al.

Eight men died during the aborted attempt to
rescue American hostages held captive in Iran.
Five of them were airmen from the
8th Special Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla.
They were Marine helicopter crewmen.

Carter is an idiot. He was then and he is now. Of course, being a democrat, I guess that goes without saying.

"Will this old moron never leave us in peace?"

Are bitterness and stupidity the keys to long life? It works for Jimmy.

Considering Carter sent in a Delta group to kill the hostage takers, it seems funny he wants to make nice now. I tried to kill you but never mind.

Put Jimmeh and Harry in charge of the Rubber Room squad.

Jimmy Carter is pro-Islamist and an antisemite. Screw him.

He also claims to be a Christian, or at least he did in the past. I just don't believe him.

“Carter is an idiot. He was then and he is now. Of course, being a democrat, I guess that goes without saying”

I think they probably fall into 3 categories.
Stupid, Dependent, or Emotionally Irrational

He should go to Saudi Arabia and pass out bibles then if he’s such the Christian he claims.
