Jimmy Carter Now on CNN with Wolf...

I hope he gives it to this administration like he did the other night.

He was interviewed on NPR this morning. Someone said he was on Fresh Air yesterday. He was on other shows earlier this week. Why the sudden resurfacing?

incl morals of this country among other things

glad someone that high profile wrote this and its good to see him making the rounds

Pres. Carter: We don't know yet. There needs to be an investigation.

-------------

How many time did he ask Carter the same question trying to get a different answer from him.

Maybe he should be interrogate bu$h about that fact, not a past President.
:wtf:

Wolfie says, "The White House claims . . . "

Carter says, "I know what the White House claims, but is that the truth? We don't know."

Only I was going to call him a dickhead. And Carter is being SO cool!

We don't know.

Say Pres. Carter.

He even talked about PNAC! Has anybody here bought his book yet?

administration this whole week on the war and torture.

Let him push ... I love hearing him. I don't know how he remains so calm.

This country has gone so far to the right that Carter sounds like an old conservative, a moderate!

And he's not going to back down!

This was on the preemptive strikes.

It was great. Totally schooled Blitzer.

poor Jimmy. He's being far more patient with Leslie than I would ever be.

and Blitzer doesn't understand the policy of "pre-emptive strikes."

how much his policy diverts from ALL previous policy re war, intl diplomacy, etc.

Having WMDs does not, by itself, constitute imminent threat. Otherwise, we should invade Israel, North Korea, China, Russia...


I'm getting tired of this.

then we could've struck pre-emptively.

Not just that a country has WMDs.

Without perfect memory, I thought he kept it within the context of having Congress being in control. Not the way it is with the war resolution allowing Bush to pull the trigger.

Interesting to see someone with a brain entering the tv discussion.

I'll bet he can't wait to make full use of his Situation Room set!

He tries to trip up Carter and Carter isnt buying it.

Split screen, with Carter stuffed, all tiny, into a corner. Jeez!



It's tv news psychology. Damn, I don't know how anyone can watch this shit. I'm holding my nose, just to listen to Carter.

Instead he's Geraldo Rivera with a softer voice.

He infuriates me. At least when Lou Dobbs is a stiff old curmudgeon, which is most of the time, it's not an act.

"That's not what preemptive means."

Jeez.

Read the definition on the air.

And how many times did he say it? :applause:

:rofl: And it showed.

if for no other reason than to pay him back for being on many shows this week speaking honestly about the Bush administration and how they hijacked Jesus. I have been saying that for five years and I am a Christian.

How could anyone NOT see that he's a Christian ... and how could anyone ever believe that Bush is?

NO, ASSHAT -- what's disturbing is THE MAN who claims to be our leader!!!!!

Let him have it, Carter.

"Claiming our right to torture prisoners"
"Claiming our right to invade another country without provocation"
"Abandoning our commitment to the environment"

Wolf ignores that COMPLETELY.

But I would say he does have a point. For a leader to insult or ridicule another leader isn't going to solve anything.

I respect the office just not who occupies it.

That is psychotic.

Aaron Brown was about 2983292731729189189188392471% more competent and exciting than Wolf Blitzer.

Disgusting.

Carter said he recently returned from Liberia where he helped with a peacefull election. No bombs necessary!

No Americans had to die, Freedom does not require death! That is my answer to the Freedom is not Free from the repukes.

With my wife (never EVER has said she's a Dem, in fact calls herself Conservative)...

We'll she loves Carter...was blown away by his articulation, intellecct, his background, and his service all without sounding like a intellectual bore...

She's even going to buy his book...Things are moving in this nation folks...Slowly, but they are moving. If my wife openly proclaims admiration and support for a Democrat you know we are doing fine.

and yes it was great to see and hear carter
hope his book does very well esp since its all about the moral hijacking of this country by hard right "religious" groups

hope she loves the book (and passes it along to her friends)

I voted for in a national election. I had just turned 21. I have always loved him and admired him for his high principles and his true compassion for all people.
It has always pained me that Bill Clinton did not embrace the Carter Institute instead of going over to the dark side and globe trotting with the bushies on issues regarding disaster relief. Jimmy Carter has the Peace Center in Plains and does great work for Habitat for Humanity, both here and abroad. And not to mention the work he does monitoring election fraud all over the world, especially in third world countries. I thought it was a slap in the face when Carter was snubbed by this admin regarding the american envoy to the Pope's funeral and not even asked to join Clinton and bush41 for tsunami relief, nor has he received the recognition he deserves for the work he has done for Katrina/Rita victims. I do think Bill Clinton has not stood up for him or stood by him enough, just my opinion.

though i wasnt old enough to vote for him either time that he ran i have always liked him
he is real
and though he is more conservative than i am in some areas (esp war related) i have great regard for him

and i hadnt known until his appearance on larry king that he was a scientist (nuclear physics) which is quite impressive

:patriot: :loveya: :patriot:

I was living in Washington briefly while he was President and one day while in Lafayette Park I saw Carter walking through it unannounced with his secret service detail trailing behind him.

They all looked freaked out because it wasnt planned.You would never see chimpie doing something like that.
