Jimmy Carter Advocating Criminal Acts?

From The Jerusalem Post:

"The Palestinian Government is destitute, and in desperate financial straits. I hope that support for the new government will be forthcoming," Carter said at a Jerusalem press conference.

Carter, who has long supported the participation of Hamas in the Palestinian elections, voiced the hope that the Islamic terror group would act "responsibly" now that it had won the elections.

Isn't President Peanut just the soul of kindness, at least when it comes to coddling terrorists? Unfortunately, as I pointed out earlier here, it's illegal for Americans to provide "material support or resources" to designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations. And Hamas is so designated by the State Department. The Rabbit Terminator suggests a sneaky little ploy:
He added that if international law barred donor countries from directly funding a Hamas-led government than the US and the EU should bypass the Palestinian Authority and provide the "much-needed" money to the Palestinians via non-governmental channels such as UN agencies.
Uh-uh, Jimmy. Hamas is now the legally elected government of the Palestinians. That makes them all officially designated terrorists. And your little plot sounds an awful lot like conspiracy to deal unlawfully with a terrorist state. Dr. Rafil Dhafir went to prison for just the actions you are suggesting.

1 He has marginalized himself so much (Clinton's trying too) that the only play he get is on foreign stages. Sad actually.

3 jimmy carter is the only president ever to have reported seeing a ufo. and remember his killer rabbit episode? ufo's are a fraud. and jimmy claimed he wourld never lie to the voters. i think it was columnist george will reported jimmy is still eating his heart out how PRES. RONALD REAGAN beat him in 1980. and as geo. will said your notes to prepare you for the debates in 1980 wasn't of any value.

5 It's easy for him to say these things at a press conference. If he really believes in his cause, he'll stand in an Israeli pizzaria and say them. For the US Navy: I know it's bad luck to change a ship's name but in this case it's worth taking the risk. C'mon guys, drop the name USS Jimmy Carter for something better. The poor sub probably gets laughed at by all the other subs when it's in port, while they yell "Look! A swimming rabbit!" just to see the Jimmy Carter crash dive and hit it's bow on the sea floor. It's not worth it.

6 in the case of jimmy carter we have two reasons to be thankful to big fat slob socialist ted kennedy. when kennedy ran against jimmy in one of the primaries in 1980, jimmy tried to claim he was on the verge of solving the iranina hostage crisis, and did beat fat slob kennedy, and after the primary the hostage situation was still unsolved. and jimmy tried to make the same claim in the fall before the november 1980 elections and the voters did remember this claim used against kennedy and went on to elect PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN. the second thing we have to thank fat slob kennedy for was after jimmy won the nomination at the dem convention, the television cameras showed jimmy chasing fat slob kennedy around the podium hoping fat slob kennedy would stop ignoring him.

7 There is no room for a good man anymore. Warrior traits are more important.

8 well... i may as well close out this thread with a gut check and a complementary pic of JIMMUAH.

9 Don't ever do that again, Rubin, without warning. That pic of Teddy shot orange juice through my nose. In both instances, the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is truer than ever. Funny!

10 Red state, I don't think it's fair to use the UFO thing against Carter, because there are many sane, reasonable people who have seen things that can't be easily explained. I myself, along with others with me, have seen on two seperate occasions lights in the night sky which did not behave in a manner typical of any mundane light-emitting object such as an aircraft, planet, meterorite, satellite, etc.. While I'm not wrapping my house in tinfoil just yet, I'm also not ready to dismiss anything I can't explain as the reflection of Venus' light on some swamp gas. The rabbit incident, however, is just too much. I remember seeing the pictures in the paper of how it kept trying to get in the boat with him and he was trying to fight it off with his fishing pole. All I could think of at the time was that it must have been a Soviet plant. These days of course it would be a Rovian minion.

12 Actually, the USS Jimmy Carter is one of the most up to date Sea Wolf class subs. It was recently updated with a 'dry room' to splice into underwater cables that are going fiber optic, and harder to do than in the old soviet days with SEALS. (Sucks to be outside a sub in 33 degree water -- I hear). As to Carter's patriotism, when you volunteer to wade into a flooded reactor compartment, in a sub currently at depth, to save the lives of 100+ other crew members, then you can talk more about patriotism. There's a reason a Sea Wolf Attack sub was named after Jimmy Carter. You may not like his politics, but to not respect the man for his deeds is to show your own ignorance. To do this is not conservative; itÂ’s just red necks trying to boast when they have nothing to show for themselves.

13 Now here's some news. If you criticise Jimmy Carter, then you are just a boasting redneck who has never done anything. Well, Mr. True Conservative, so much for your support of freedom of speech. If I don't like your speech, then I label you a redneck, and your freedom of speech is null and void. You're no true conservative, but a stupid liberal trying to pass himself off as a conservative. You can never fool conservatives when you pose as one, as no conservative would say what you did. Liberal shit is liberal shit, no matter who says it, and you reek of it, sir.

14 Former President Jimmy Carter showed his true colors at the King funeral. He is a reverse racist, hypocrite, man without a legacy, and frustrated that he only "SINNED IN HIS HEART"!!What a disappointed old man he has turned into! He lost his dignity years ago, so I don't think anyone expects much dignity from him anyway. Unlike Pres. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter did know you put your cigars in a cigar box!!
