I mean the guy was a mouse----It is one thing to question his decision making as a President, but I can see no reason for the kind of hatred for carter such as you see here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1057444/posts?q=1&&page=1

1. It's like violently hating Mr. Rogers

There's just something unclean about it.

10. LOL. But so true.

I was born in 1978 so only know about his presidential record from what I've heard or read. I like his diplomacy skills though in the last 10 yrs.

2. Another example

I was watching Crossfire (I think it was yesterday), and Bagala mentioned that Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize, and Bow-tie boy responded "So did Yasser Arafat".

He makes a big huge stink out of two unendorsed moveon hitler comparisons, then compares Carter to Arafat? I can see them hating Clinton (he beat them after all), but they had no problem dispatching Carter. Let him be for crying out loud.

7. Or mine,

and I'm betting I'm older than you are.

Carter could have been re-elected in 1980. All he had to do is get us involved in an unendable war in Iran -- and "the voters would have rallied around him." But he did the right thing, lost, and probably knew doing the right thing would result in losing. What a contrast to the dork who stole the job in 2000.

4. I love Love LOVE Jimmy Carter

I wanted to name my cat Jimmy after Jimmy Carter, but I have a co-worker named Jimmy and thought it was too weird. So he's named Abbie instead (after Abbie Hoffman)

5. No mouse brought Egypt and Israel togother for the first time...

In over 2000 years, I can tell ya that!

But, yes, it IS disturbing. And I had to put up with it from my senior-year Repub roomate for the ENTIRE fall 1980 campaign. Hearing about how great Ronnie Reagan would be was just about as nauseating as hearing about how great they think Dub is today. And every bit as WRONG, too!x(

Jimmy Carter--the first person I ever voted for, and the most MORAL president I ever supported!:D

B-)

9. it's deeply disturbing to see people violently hate ANYONE . . .

yeah, even George Bush and John Ashcroft . . . I certainly hate their policies, and what they're doing to this country, but rather than hate them as persons I prefer to just think of them as dunderheads . . . gotta feel sorry for people with so few brains, so little compassion, and so much self-importance . . . the karma will get them in the end . . .

11. I Adore Jimmy Carter

Those people have so much hatred inside of them they simply can't find ENOUGH people to hate... so they resort to being totally rediculous.

12. Notice That They Still Use The One-Word (Limbaugh) Version Of "ALGORE"

1) It's stupid
2) It makes them look stupid
3) It makes them look stupid for copying Limbaugh
4) It's old, but they still snicker at it like it's the latest "thing"... and that's just stupid.

13. I thought they liked solid Christian men?

Edited on Thu Jan-15-04 04:22 PM by scottcsmith

Jimmy Carter, a man who lives his life helping others, who teaches Sunday School at his church and is concerned about human rights. The right-wingers have no reason to hate him. But I suspect Mr. Carter does not really care what wackos on the right think of him.

Of course, he could be like Daddy Bush and devote his energy to making lots of money for himself.

Just another reason why I hate the Right.

14. You beat me to it...

Jimmy Carter is one of the few presidents that never left his moral/ethical base. That was the reason for his "downfall".

It is hard to believe that the "Christian Right", (or is it christian wrong), deon't have the dignity to recognize someone that ruly tried to walk the path he spoke of.

I remember the, "I have lusted in my heart", answer to a query in Playboy. The RWnuts went berserk. But, if you would have asked them the same question, resounding "NO"'s would have shook the walls.

Such is hypocrisy. There is no honor among the damned. Dignity is an alien philosophical notion to the RW.
