The Disgraceful Jimmy Carter

Just when I think I can't lose any more respect for Jimmy Carter, I do.

He keeps sinking lower and lower.

Carter has been hawking his new book, Palestine Peace Not Apartheid.

As part of his media blitz, he sat down for half an hour with Charlie Rose.

Even ultra-lib Rose seemed to be stunned by some of the things that came out of Carter's mouth.

Carter is absolutely disgusting.

He has gone beyond being an apologist for Hamas and terrorists. He is firmly entrenched in their corner. In short, Carter is an enemy of Israel.

He should quit pretending to be the wise elder statesman, the peacemaker.

He was never wise and he was never a statesman. He wasn't much of a peacemaker either. (I'll give him the elderly though.)

I'm so sick of Carter acting as if the Camp David Accords were the most significant accomplishment of an American president in the 20th century.

Let's be realistic. Carter was a disaster as president, a complete disaster. Now, as a former president, he's an absolute disgrace.

He's actually managed to do what seemed impossible: He's a worse ex-president than president.

Among the idiotic things that Carter said during the interview:

--"Israel wants to confiscate Palestinian land."


--"I can't speak for Hamas... But I can tell you what they tell me... Hamas can't recognize Israel until it stays within its borders."


The man speaks like a spokesman for the terrorists.

He even claimed that he hadn't seen any proof that Hamas was responsible for lobbing missiles at Israel.

Carter is totally clueless. He's a pawn of the terrorists. That must be why the Left worships him.

I thought Rose posed an interesting question when he asked Carter if he believed that he could broker a peace deal, acting in an official capacity and speaking on behalf of America.

Rose said he had the impression that Carter felt he could be helpful and make real progress.

Rose asked, "Could you settle this thing?"

Carter hesitated but eventually admitted, "I think I could do something about it."

Right.

Sure, I think Carter could get something done, too; such as assisting Israel's enemies in wiping the nation off the map.

It was nauseating to watch. It really was.

When Rose turned to presidential politics, Carter didn't hesitate to express his support for Al Gore.

Carter declared, "I think Al Gore is the best qualified to be president."

He went on, "A lot of Democrats know that he was elected in 2000 and should have been president."

Thankfully, the interview drew to an end after that. I was becoming physically ill.

Bottom line:

Carter supports terrorists.

Carter talks like Michael Moore.

Carter does not conduct himself in a manner befitting a former President of the United States.

Disgraceful.
