14 Carter Center board members resign over palestine book

Well, now. Ain’t this interesting…

 

ATLANTA — Fourteen members of an advisory board at the Carter Center resigned today, concluding they could “no longer in good conscience continue to serve” following publication of former President Jimmy Carter’s controversial book, “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid.”

“It seems that you have turned to a world of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy,” the board members wrote in a letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “We can no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising position.

  1. I heard about this today on talk radio. Interesting turn of
    events. Although the media still loves the jackass, so he probably
    won’t suffer any serious fallout. The worst president in U.S.

    made a nice headline in a The People’s Republic of New York Times. ;)

  2. Ol’President Peanutz!
    He doesn’t care, as long as all of that Arab money keeps flowing into his grubby mitt’s.

    Speaking of leftard tools, did you know there is smart, then there is Kerry Smart!

  3. Dang!
    Talk about leftard tools, get this dude a Mac Tool rolling cabinet.
    This exchange is between
    Hugh Hewitt, and Dennis Kucinich.

    HH: Congressman, do you know what the Quds forces are?

    DK: (pause) I’m sorry?

    HH: Do you…are you aware of the Quds forces?

    DK: What are you talking about?

    HH: The Quds forces from…they’re an arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Are you familiar with them?

    DK: (pause) Go ahead.

    HH: Are you? Because I don’t want to pursue it if you’re not.

    DK: Well, go ahead. I want to hear what you have to say.

    HH: Well, they’re operating in Iraq. Does that concern you?

    DK: I think that we need to get the region involved in stopping the insurgency. And the way you do that, the first step you take, is to take away the energy that the insurgency is gaining from the occupation. Look, Iran…you know, we should be concerned about any nation feeling that they can advance their interests through the chaos and civil war of Iraq. And the way that you do it, you have to have a political settlement. We cannot solve this militarily. Most…and many generals who believe that.

    HH: Pop quiz, Congressman. Do you know who the supreme leader of Iran is?

    DK: (pause) You’re talking about the religious leader?

    HH: Yes.

    DK: I can’t tell you the name off-hand.

    And this macaroon is running for President…again!

  4. Mac Tool rolling cabinet, mmmmmmmmmm

  5. What about the possibility of pulling out of Iraq, letting Iran invade and lose resources fighting their own kind,
    and then come in and mop up the dregs?
