Jimmy Carter awarded Nobel Peace Prize!

It would have been more believable if this had been a joint award to include none other than that great and noble moralist and sub-human, super clean scumbag, Bill Clinton.

Then a Robert Paulson2 tripple "puke" would have been in order.

Here it is anyway!!

PUKETY PUKETY PUKE!

"I used to agree with you that he's a good man. I don't believe that any more. He is just as evil as clintbilly. "

I agree. I also use to think he was a good man. That was part of the image he tried to make us believe. After I found that he didn't recognize Israel as a country, but instead he recognized Palistan as the country where Israel is.

Oh, just great! And just what to expect. Let's remember that after all, the prize was instituted by Alfred Nobel who gave the world more explosive.. err.. explosives ;),

A couple of candidates for the next round (if there is one), in the great old Nobel tradition:

with peanuts on top...

And he's wrong.

Peace through strength - and the will to get down-and-dirty. I hope CIA is making contingency plans if that Lula character wins in Brazil...

[Moonmad27]

Perfectly timed, too, to be a slap at GWB as well. I worked in the campaign and voted for Jimmy in the old days, and was highly disappointed in him, to say the least.

[E Rocc]

Carter does deserve some recognition for his role in the Camp David Accords - although it was Begin and Sadat who rightly deserve most of the credit.

But most people have forgotten it was actually Walter Cronkite who got Begin and Sadat together in the first place. He's probably disgruntled about that.

Actually there's a historical rumor that it was Begin's initiative. Mossad had the goods on a Libyan sponsored plot to assasinate Sadat. Normal procedure was to have Mossad turn over the info to the CIA, who would pass it to the Egyptians. Begin instead had the head of Mossad meet with the head of the Egyptian Muhkbarat in Morrocco, who handed over the package. The plot was rolled up, Sadat knew that Begin was willing to talk, the US was the obvious choice as moderator, and the rest was history.

Carter wanted, he really really wanted, to make the world a better place. (Even if he had "lust" in his heart). That is what counts for the liberals.

Of course, if one looked at actual results, then Reagan should have been awarded this prize. A visionary, he was more responsible than any other single person for defeating one of the two great evils of the last century.

A hundred years from now, Reagan will be as remembered as Lincoln is today. Carter will be "remembered" as the twentieth century equivalent of Martin van Buren.

My thoughts exactly, Bruce -- the timing is just too coincidental.

I wonder why thay had to go back to the "golden oldies" to select a winner this year? I mean, there must have been some well-known Muslim mullah or cleric who worked for peace and understanding over the past year .... < /s >

Seriously in this vein, Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan would actually have been a more palatable choice.

[A2J]

Say what you will,he did not have leadership qualities,but he is humane and a good man.

Hardly.

A "good man" would never support the horrors of abortion, as the "honorable" Mr. Carter has and does.

Of course, if one looked at actual results, then Reagan should have been awarded this prize. A visionary, he was more responsible than any other single person for defeating one of the two great evils of the last century.

They're stretching these days to find winners. Last year it was the UN (again). But the Prize has pretty much made itself a joke by failing to recognize that sometimes standing up to evil does more to advance the human condition and even peace itself that simply working towards a narrow defintion of "peace".

Winners include:

Yasser Arafat (1994)
Frederik De Klerk and Nelson Mandela (1993)
Rigoberta Menchu (1992), later found to be a fabricator.
Mikhail Gorbachev (1990)
Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho (1973)
Albert Lutuli (1960)

Non-winners include:

Franklin Deleano Roosevelt
Winston Churchill
Ronald Reagan - indeed Gorbachev got it for accepting a defeat that Reagan engineered.
Margaret Thatcher
Pope John Paul II

Think about how fit to be tied ole slick willie is upon hearing this news. Supposedly Carter got the prize for his efforts in the middle east.

About the only thing slick willie paid any attention to, other than Monica, was the middle east.

Now he spends all his time wandering through Africa and India pretending to do good works.......

How delicious the irony!!!!

[sam_paine]

Are you certain that you belong of FR ?

Hey, nopardons, JimRob has not banned dissent around here yet, so back off!!!

I don't agree with eastforker about the overall great American thing, but Carter is strides ahead of today's democratic slime like McDermott and Daschle.

[NewsGal]

Carter goes around the world bashing America and Bush. He can't keep his damn mouth shut over foreign policy even though his Presidency and his decisions were a disaster. He was given this prize by the Commies and Socialists of the world to stick a finger in Bush's eye and point out what a mean spirited man Bush is.

[Huck]

Your comments sound about right. Anwar Sadat deserves a LOT of credit. Too bad islamofascism won the day over there. In Ronald Reagan's autobiography, he gives Carter a lot of credit for the Camp David accords.

[billbears]

I've always said Carter was too good of a man to be President. I feel he didn't fully understand how the system worked. He is a good man, misguided sometimes I'll admit, but he was not a good President

[Heff]

Where is the BARF ALERT, Hal?

[Bogey78O]

I know of another thing that can include peanuts or corn that best describes the qualifications of this prize.

[longtermmemmory]

The prize is not what really annoying. What is really anoying is the 1 million us dollars that goes with it. Is he going to donate the 1 million ALL to habitat for humanity?

[Bogey78O]

The trouble is he's morally incoherent. He'll pray to God every day but then he'll stand side by side by those who hate God and then praise them.

He suffers the same disease all socialist Christians suffer. Moral Incoherence.
