about jhimmi al-carter and his shameful scribble
2. Will they show his encounter with the killer rabbit?
Jake T ,   Alaska   (10.01.07)
For those of you who don't know, on a fishing trip Carter was terrorized by an enraged rabbit. (He thought the rabbit might be Mossad.) http://www.narsil.org/politics/carter/killer_rabbit.html He also had an exciting encounter with a UFO, if you want to deepen your research on this clown.
3. What do you expect
ralphsrant1 ,   USA   (10.01.07)
From a Man who took money from Bin Laden's family and the Saudis to fund his Carter Center. The Man is rotten to the core. The man can't face the fact he screwed up and caused Islamic Terrorism by forceing the Shah of Iran out of office and putting Khomeni into power in 1979 http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/
4. Carter is an apologist for Arab terrorism.
WorstPresidentever!   (10.01.07)

5. Worst ex president ever!! An utter disgrace.

One has to wonder why Jonathan Demme thinks there's going to be a market for a film about a failed ex-president who is now reviled by a significant segment of the American population...including many who voted for him. In fact, I suspect that if it weren't for Carter's sympathy for terrorists and despots and his onerous replacement theology which governs a good deal of his antipathy toward Israel, would this film really generate much press? Unfortunately, Mr. Demme seems to feel it's these positions that make Jimmy Carter praiseworthy when many Americans feel this is what made us lucky he was only a one-term president.
7. Jimmy Carter
Rebecca ,   USA   (10.01.07)
Jimmy Carter is a great man for speaking out the truth of the Israeli horrific treatment of the Palestine people. All the people I know hate Israel.
8. Carter vs. Hannibal Lecter
Saul ,   Barcelona   (10.01.07)
sounds like an intriguing project. I hope Demme carries on with it. No matter whether Carter wins or loses, he will get his due.
9. Mohd. Jimmy bin Carter
Obama ,   Washington DC   (10.01.07)
His book, 'Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid' is full of hatred for Israel. He said:" We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon." Lol Christ is coming to get him soon.

13. Carter

The recent ESPN show the Bronx is Burning, which deals primarily with the NY Yankees, actually shows a good deal of insight about Jimmy Carter. In the series, a clip is shown of Jimmy Carter walking around the Bronx in 1977 accompanied by Mayor Abe Beame. What was the purpose of the trip? My conclusion is that Carter wanted to be walking with the 5ft. mayor so that the 5ft. 6 in. or so Carter would look tall. Its just pathetic. He was President of the United States and he was most concerned that people perceive him as tall. This is a guy who refused to agree to handshakes during debates because he was concerned about looking short.
14. Jimminy Carter
Petra ,   usa   (10.01.07)
Question, has Carter ever decried the souths persecution of the blacks? Probably not, too busy focusing on the Israeli's and his 'Arabs contributions' like Bushie boy. Face it, this guys nuts! Pound some more nails Carter, it's all you can do besides accepting money from those who embarassed you and the USA. What a rednecked bubba.
15. what's the difference between jimmy and billy?
bob ,   dt, mi   (10.01.07)
billy is a drunken ignorant redneck.

"All the people I know hate Israel." I guess that's what happens when you belong to the Klan.
17. carter is an obsessed, relentless, though dissimulating, ...
dante ,   uk   (10.01.07)
anti-Israel activist. despite the broad display of artifical congeniality, carter is a hater. and, he hasn't a clue about apartheid and why Israel's relationship with an enemy population is not comparable to the S.A. government's relationship to its own people. moreover, it is well beyond carter and demme to understand that the criteria used by Israel are not racial.

Laurence ,   Santa Ana, CA USA   (10.01.07)
That was my reaction as I had to sit through this film preview over the weekend. I was so irate, I started yelling at the screen. My wife had to calm me down. Actually, I was looking for a fight. Unfortunately, there were no takers.

21. J Carter is a Nut
Obama ,   Washington DC   (10.02.07)
That's what happens when you are raised in a peanut farm
22. #10 and uugh
English guy ,   London, UK   (10.02.07)
You said "he is so PRO-Arab". What a meaningless statement. He was a great peace-maker, and that fact that you appear to be genetically anti-Arab is more your problem that ex President Carter's. Perhaps you should take a little counselling to make you less pathologically and rabidly racist and a little more open to ideas of equality and equivalence. Additionally, you obviously have very little shame given the fact that you are willing to trumpet your own facile and moronic racist rants to the whole world.
23. #22 - blind
Joseph ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.02.07)
Why do you believe it's "racist" for #10 to be disgusted by Carter's blind support for the wide-spread race, gender, and religious apartheid that actually does exist in all 22 Arab states and all 51 Islamic states, while Carter hypocritically condemns Israel for the those same charges when they aren't true? It would be worthwhile for you to ask yourself whether "moral equivalence" is the idolatry of Leftists, who are unashamed to have no moral reservations about lying and supporting terrorism.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that takes the cake. coming from a rabid racist it was comic genius If carter built a free house for every poor person on earth it couln't make up for his racist senility oh great peace maker? LMAO he is remembered as the worst president that ever lived! He betrayed his allies, he betrayed his military, he even betrayed the voters that put the poor little peanut farmer in the presidency.
25. #22, where you you dig up your history?
Danny   (10.03.07)
The one "achievement" of the Carter regime was the Egypt-Israeli peace agreement.... except that it had nothing to do with him - anymore than Oslo and the peace with Jordan had to do with Clinton. The key events were negotiated by Kissinger. Carter just smiled and waved in the background. Carter is also the genius who brought you the Islamic revolution in Iran. Real harbinger of peace.... "Additionally, you obviously have very little shame given the fact that you are willing to trumpet your own facile and moronic racist rants to the whole world. " - kettle, pot anyone?
