Video: Jimmy Carter says we should trust Hamas on the "Today" Show

The trouble with Jimmy Carter is that he was born senile.

This guy is a modern day BENEDICT ARNOLD.
People say that George W.Bush was the worst president in the last 50 years.I disagree.The peanut farmer IS the number 1.He has no credibility anymore after he wrote a libel aginst Israel calling it "Apartheid"…

[...] the swearing in of Obama that we wouldn’t see this one again for a long while.  But now he’s on the Today show talking utter crap.  Good God this man is an idiot and has learned nothing from being the worst [...]

Correct, JEWHAWK. Carter was the best friend the KGB ever had. I cannot understand why he was not awarded the the Order of Lenin.

In his 1976 Playboy interview Carter was quoted as saying, "I've committed adultery in my heart many times." Apparently, adultery in the heart can lead to syphilis in the brain.

Good point!
I remember that quote. At the time, I naively thought he was a good Christian. Since then, I've come to see him as a quisling, a betrayer of America both to the communists and to the jihadists. Adultery-in-the-heart-induced syphilis-in-the-brain is the best explanation I've seen yet for his treason.

Beej: and all of you have nailed the senile Carter. Carter is a traitor, like Colin Powell, neither one are worth the ground they walk on. Who else but the Today Show would give them the time of day. Hamas is wicked as hell and not to be ever trusted, neither is the usurper Obama. Powell said: that was a Muslim president would be fine. Well we have one now, born in Kenya. Carter is so heartless, he could care less.
Carter and Obama are thick as theives, partners in crime along. Just about everyone in Obama's staff have been served subpoenas. If that doesn't send up a non-American red flag, what would??
JEWHAWK: Benedict Arnold Carter is doing these interviews he says to help Obama, and getting money for his crumby books. He is also accepting bribes from Hamas to fund his museum. Just another beggar, like all the politicians, who have never worked a real job. Carter is all about Carter, Like Obama is all about Obama, the new World Leader, he thinks! He thinks wrong. Pride goes before a fall.

One country's terrorist group is another country's freedom fighters. Seventy years ago, Jewish fighters in the area known as Trans-Jordan were blowing up buildings and killing British citizens. They were labeled as "terrorists" by the British government and press. Now, they are revered as "freedom fighters" in Israel – fighting for the right to form their own country on foreign soil. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Europeans did the same thing to hundreds of unorganized native tribes who happened to be living in the area now known as the U.S. The difference is, we (our early European settlers) succeeded in killing off enough of the natives and confining the few that remained in separate reservations. Back then, we didn't have to worry about world opinion or neighboring countries, hostile to our land occupation. We also didn't have our massacres broadcast on You-Tube. If only Israel could have done the same thing – push all the remaining people into a confined area and starve them to death, without having to worry about that pesky internet or world opinion. It's interesting that when the tables are turned and the question is asked of Israeli citizens, "What would you do, if you were pushed out of land you were living in and confined, under complete economic strangulation, with all borders sealed in a much smaller piece of land?" Many reply, "I'd do exactly what Hamas is doing". Please don't be so naive to think people aren't going to resist being uprooted, encircled, and forcibly cut-off from the rest of the world. Hamas is the natural result – A Resistance Movement. It will only grow fiercer as their imprisoned area is further destroyed. Israel has only two choices: accept Hamas as the viable political and social will of the people and negotiate directly with them or simply kill off the remaining 1.5 million people and be done with the problem. Of course, you'll probably need to exterminate the remaining 2.5 million in the West Bank, as they could be a little outraged. But, after the first million, the killing gets easier.

It is patently apparent that Carter is suffering from senility. Maybe even Alzheimer's, or what about Mad Cow disease? His brain is turning to mush steadily….getting worse all the time. We can only hope that he will pass quickly from old age and lack of brain function.

"… fighting for the right to form their own country on foreign soil."

Maybe you revere them as "freedom fighters", but they are the IDF fighting to defend their own country that was formed 60 years ago by the United Nations. And Israel has many more choices than the ones you mention.

Maybe the peanut butter's SALMONELLA is doing the job,for Jimmy "Benedict Arnold" Carter is
a very well-known PEANUT FARMER in Georgia.

JEWHAWK HOW GOOD, Carter is poison and yuck his teeth are yellow, nasty. Just goes to show you the good die young. LOL Or the devil keeps them around to pester people. Carter is a pest. Well the Word says, "no pestilence shall come near your dwelling." He better not, if he knows what's good for him.
Carter is just plain spooky looking, some fine Christian ? he turned out to be. You can't tell a book by it's cover. Also you could never convince me Obama is a Christian, in a million years. That blasphemous Trinity church is a dead give-away. Wicked as Hell itself.

Liz HI: Carter looks like he wears diapers. There is something really odd about him.??
Alzheimer's with a twist of Mad Cow disease, good observation, You are always a step ahead, You go girl.

Liz: your comment got under JEWHAWK – guess I hit wrong reply. just me carolyne
I am sure jennyjen has a word or two or three. Ha Ha!

Dear Caroline,I wonder what kind of concept Jimmy "Benedict Arnold" has of
HONOR.
When fighting to win the 1976's elections,he probably attended an AIPAC
meeting to lecture about his view about Israel.He did say a bunch of niceties
that he supported Israel,yada-yada-yada…

Then,he writes an INFAMOUS BOOK in which he unfairly accuses Israel
of being an "APARTHEID STATE"!!!
WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS THAT?

This behavior is utterly unbecoming of a former U.S.president,indeed!

I don't have a clue on WHY and HOW my fellow American Jews still INSIST
of supporting the Democratic Party after that shameful episode…

Ronald Reagan would NEVER do such a thing…I also doubt that BILL CLINTON
would betray us in such way…

Obama says his "recovery plan will include UNPRECEDENTED measures that will allow the American people to hold [his] administration ACCOUNTABLE" yet Obama refuses to be held ACCOUNTABLE to the same American people for his UNPRECEDENTED refusal to show his actual birth certificate.

JEWHAWK, isn't it being a bit unfair to compare Benedict Arnold with Jimmy Carter? From my limited knowledge of the American War of Independence, I gather that Arnold was a skilled general who won some famous victories for the American forces, but what has Carter ever done for America? With Carter in charge of the US, the Soviets reached their pinnacle of strength, and America lagged far behind in the deadly game of Balance of Power. But Reagan came along and priced the Soviets out of business, thereby winning the Cold War at a stroke. Quite an achievement. But some people never learn, and continue to regard this peanut vendor as having something of value to say.

JEWHAWK I am for the Jews all the way, over any one. You have suffered and did not deserve such This Carter guy, is a fake along with Obama. Both lying counterfeits. What a shame. They are mean spirited, and Obama is a Hitler. He has no Honor, wanting to have live abortions. What an evil man, along with all his pals. I am sure the Muslim world is enjoying the show, but their day is coming. The Muslims were the ones to be oppressed not the Jews. Obama is a fool that is good at fooling people, but not the ones who see through his pretentious ways. In spite of every thing, always remember you are a blessed people. God loves you, trust in him.

Ted: Amen, but be sure Obama sins will find him out. Numbers 32:23 I will say that every day. God's Word will not return void. I thank God every day, we ALL will win, as we are powerful not powerless through Jesus Christ.
I will never give up, and will confess only victory, fighting the good fight of faith. These are great posts,
because you all see the truth, and are great. Hold on and Hold out.

That's a lot of spiteful comments about Carter. I cant help but think all the negativity is merely a response to Carters criticism of Israel. Outside of this what have any of you got against him as a President or as a man?

Carter has done more to promote the peace process in the ME than any other former POTUS. I believe he truly cares. He is trying to improve a bad situation amicable to all. He's trying to be a part of the solution -and for that he's slandered.

When men of strength are presented with difficult problems, their responses are firm and decisive. Jimmy Carter spent four years responding with weakness.

1. Blind support for terror groups who have vowed the destruction of America including Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria and the Iranian regime

2. Blaming American policy for causing Islamic wackos to blow themselves up and target innocent innocent women and children, when we all know it's Islam itself that condones these actions.

3. His midwifery of the Islamic Republican of Iran and the Muslim terror that has subsequently spread across the world. When Carter withdrew American support from the Shah during his hour of need, his government fell, and one of our most valuable friends was replaced by our bitterest enemy. Once the Ayatollah Khomeini had taken control, the 3,000 communists Carter had been whimpering over were promptly shot, along with 20,000 pro-Western Iranians. Khomeini executed more people in his first year in power than the Shah had been alleged to have killed in the last quarter century. So much for human rights, as if leftists like Carter had any genuine interest in them anyway.

5. Doing NOTHING but sitting on his thumbs while Iran committed an act of war against the US when they invaded our embassy and took hostage 52 US diplomats for 444 days.

6. During the Clinton years, when asked to "negotiate" with N. Korea, he praised North Korea's mass-murdering dictator as a "vigorous and intelligent man." And of North Korea itself, Carter said of this habitat for inhumanity: "I don't see they are an outlaw nation."

6.The "community re-investment act", which ultimately led to Democrats pressuring banks to issue loans that were too risky, leading to the ultimate buildup and collapse of Freddie and Fannie, which we all knowhas led to what's going on right now with the economic meltdown.

7. Jimmy Carter also once challenged Ronald Reagan's "aggressive" and successful strategy for winning the Cold War. Perhaps he'd like to send one of his Habitat for Humanity crews to rebuild the Berlin Wall brick by tyrannical brick. The fact is that Jimmy Carter could not have done more to damage our national security had he been a hand-picked mole planted in the White House by the KGB.

8. Blaming Americans for America's problems in 1979 in his famout "malaise" speech in which he told us our best days were over. He nagged us to turn down our thermostats in the winter and turn them up in the summer, since the nation could not possibly overcome its energy problems.

"I think it's inevitable that there will be a lower standard of living than what everybody had always anticipated," he told advisers in 1979. "The only trend is downward."

"In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption," he fussed.

He asked an America that was accustomed to prosperity to get along with less — which it had to do since his policies crippled an already hobbling economy.

9. By putting America's self interest on the backburner in favor of his vague "human rights" policy, all he did was enable dictators to take him to the cleaners, time and time again.examples: Cuba, Panama, Nicaragua, China, Egypt. (btw, ever wonder why Egypt, to this day, receives TONS of aid? Yup, you can thank Carter for that one)]

10. In Rhodesia, Carter kept up sanctions begun under his predecessors. But he went further by undermining the election of Bishop Abel Muzorewa as prime minister in 1979 to protest the exclusion of candidate Robert Mugabe. In response to Carter's pressure, new elections were held, giving Mugabe the victory he has held onto as Africa's worst dictator. Thank you, Jimmy Carter.
