OK you scumbags, now you’ve REALLY pissed me off!

There is an extreme right-wing gaggle of nutjubs out there who are starting a campaign to censure former President Jimmy Carter. Why do they want to do this? Well, if you watch their TV ad, the primary reason is in retaliation for Senator Russ Feingold having the audacity to call for the censure of a true criminal, “President” George W. Bush. They also claim that because President Carter is willing to have dialogue with world leaders we disagree with, that he is deserving of censure.

This is sacrilege. This is an atrocity. This man, who has been the voice of peace and tolerance for the past 30 years, deserves better from those who would call themselves Americans. President Carter is a patriot. He is a statesman in the truest sense of the word. And "swift boat" tactics used to smear a great man like Carter are an insult to the intelligence of the American people.

These clowns who would criticize Carter for talking with contentious world leaders, when our “sitting” President (yep, that’s about all he does, sits on his ass) will not, forget their world history. Conversation is one of the reasons we are no longer in a cold war with the former Soviet Union, with the threat of nuclear war hovering over us. Conversation is why a lasting peace exists between Israel and Egypt, brokered by none other than President Jimmy Carter. And here I’ll even give Bushboy some credit… conversation is why we are no longer dealing with a potential nuclear terror threat in Libya.

I wrote a blog post about Carter back in March of this year, and while I won’t take up space by reposting it today, here’s a link, for anyone who would care to read it.

As to the thugs who would slander President Carter, here's some background info on the scumbags doing this...

Here's the main "Censure Carter" site:

Here's the parent organization behind the whole thing:

Here's background on the human excrement running the show:

Here's the e-mail address for the bottom-feeders pushing for a Carter censure:

Let's light-em up folks, and put these poor excuses for human beings in their place!

Here's a bit more on the douchebags running this smear campaign:

According to their web site, "Move America Forward is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization committed to supporting America’s efforts to defeat terrorism and supporting the brave men and women of our Armed Forces." If they are so "non-partisan" how come the only people they have on their board are conservative hacks? I personally think that a not-for-profit who claims to be "non-partisan" should lose their not-for-profit tax status if they are proven to be a partisan organization. But, wait a minute, that makes too much sense. So, of course, it will never happen.

The founder of this organization, the (not so) Honorable Howard Kaloogian, was the guy who started the recall process for Gov. Gray Davis in California, and got Ahhnold elected. Says something about who we're dealing with here.

Seriously folks, write these assholes and tell them what you think. Let them know that they cannot so easily disgrace the name of one of our greatest citizens. Let them know that intimidation and “swift boat” tactics will not silence the justified dissent against the criminal regime currently in power in this country.

Derrick,

Thanks for reading the blog.

I'm assuming your post is sarcastic. That's fine.

Feel free to join in the discussion, whether you agree with my rants or not. I'd prefer a dialogue to a monologue.

And yes, I admit, this post is pretty venomous to those who are promoting the censure of Carter.

But I have no tolerance for those who would unjustly try to attack a man who's life work has been promoting peace and understanding throughout the world. Especially when their actual motive is to retaliate at Sen. Russ Feingold.

To me, it's no different than the cowardly approach of the administration when they "outed" Valerie Plame. They didn't like what Joe Wilson said, so like the cowards they are, they went after his wife.

There's no doubt that President Carter is a much better man than I. He would tolerate the evil attacks of these cowards. I cannot.

Marlipern,

Yes, in fact I was being sarcastic, but only for the purpose of showing you how easily we can slip into a very destructive mode without really knowing it. How an issue can be clouded by emotions, separating a pragmatic approach to history that can lead to the betterment of society into a free-for-all where facts are not an issue, just the loudest voice. I agree with you about Jimmy Carter the MAN. He appears to have been and continues to be a morally respectable individual. His work with Habitat for Humanity is commendable. The Camp David accords were remarkable, although the existence of true peace between Egypt and Israel can be debated. But, I strongly disagree with you concerning Jimmy Carter the PRESIDENT. He was an ineffectual leader, who was responsible for the near destruction of our economy, and facilitating international terrorist growth thru inaction. And the Panama canal disaster. These are simple facts. But there you have it. In closing, I have not read nor do I plan to the links you attached to your original post concerning the censure of President Carter, as I am assuming they are more hot-air rants. Please check this sit out, I just found it on my day off. Good luck to, I wish you well as a fellow American.
