Aside from being the most ineffective President since Wold War II, Jimmy Carter's often blatant anti-semitism has cost him the lion's share of his political supporters.

Here's what Carter had to say as recently as last June: “In my opinion, Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister) brought up several obstacles to peace in his speech that others before him have not placed. He insists on settlement expansion and demands that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, even though 20% of Israel’s citizens are not Jewish.”

So in Carter's tiny little world, it's Israel's desire to be recognized as a Jewish state that's the true obstacle to peace in the middle east, not the Arab's refusal to accept it.

As a President he was a pinhead. As an elder statesman and American diplomat he's downright dangerous.

Didn't mean to hijack this thread, but Carter drives me batty.
