Jewish delegates walk out on Carter

A handful of Jewish delegates staged a mini protest of Jimmy Carter moments ago, walking out of the Pepsi Center as the former president appeared on stage.

"Boo, boo, boo," shouted Barbara Effman of Sunrise, holding up "thumbs down" as she exited with state Sen. Steve Geller.

"Some people have mistakenly said they consider Sen. Obama anti-Israel," Geller said. "Sen. Obama is very strong and pro-Israel. President Carter is very anti-Israel. President Carter has been very pro-Palestinian, has published books full of lies about Israel and indicating a complete lack of understanding of the mid east peace process. I certainly was not going to stick around for that."

sorry Democracy

sorry Democracy

John McCain should go back to central America or where ever he was born.

JOHN MCCAIN CANNOT BE PRESIDENT HE WAS NOT BORN IN THE US

Here's Obama's whiny letter to the DOJ:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12816.html

Obama was associated with Ayers from the mid 90s to very recently. The NY Times coincidentally published the article on Ayers on 9.11 where he said he didn't do enough.

While Obama may not have been responsible for a bombing, he was on a charity board with Ayers for years including campaigning with him in Illinois.

I loved Jimmy Carters comment last night, at the DNC, concerning Obamas experience.

Carter says ..."Obama has at least as much experience as a certain former Governor of Georgia and that former Gov. of Arkansas and certainly the former Governor of Texas!"

10:46-

You have identified yourself as a complete and utter moron.

11:12 There are plenty of "experienced" politicians running around out there right now, making a wasteland of our nation. The former Governor of Texas is a perfect example. His resume includes draft dodging, several failed businesses, and an governorship which he won on daddy's name and Karl Rove's slander. I'm perfectly willing to forgive Barack Obama's lack of that kind of experience in favor of the promise of something new.

OBAMA = BABY KILLER!!!!

Carter spoke a truth: clearing people off land to import preferred settlers from around the world meets the classic definition of imperialism. The Palestinians--using their democracy to elect terrorist, are profoundly unappealing, but their point on Israel's settlement policy is sound--no peace so long as you're clearing people off their land to make room for other people--especially if the only reason for the preference is religions (for God's sake).

America has been playing piddly-winks on this issue for decade. We are not a neutral broker or a contributor to the solution until we confront the zealots here at home, like the ones who insulted the marketplace of ideas by walking out on Carter.

Jimmy who?? I remember EVERYTHING about his term in office. Too bad so many don't. Jews first on the terror list, Christians next. Anyone who doesn't see this is not ignorant, just stupid.

carter, bush wosrt presidents ever hands down

1:42 Bush by a mile*

* 1 mile = 4000+ coffins laid end to end.

I LOVE the long letter above and agree with nearly every word. I just believe in my heart that mainstream America does NOT want the media to elect our President.

P.S. I was referring to the post on Aug. 25th at 10:09 p.m.

Helena, that is an excerpt from Karl Rove's memo for yesterday. If you don't want a president elected by lies and spin, you definitely don't want to vote for McCain - Karl Rove's new employer.

"Republicans ran everything, Everything is broken.

Isn't it time for a Change?"


Flawed logic there bud. The Democrats have control of the house and senate and have done nothing. Either look at the big picture or just close your eyes, sit down, and join the mass of uninformed "scholars" out there.

1:53 - We wouldn't have these ridiculous problems in the Middle East right now if it wasn't for Carter supporting getting rid of the Shah. We would have never stepped on "holy" soil to piss of Osama, we would never have had to sell weapons to Hussein to help him defend himself against Iran and the other crazies.... I bet you that the troops that have died overseas were proud to be fighting in the US military. I bet you they were proud that they were freeing a country from their dictator.. None of us like war, but sometimes it is needed to instill freedom.

Where is Ross Perot with his flip charts when you really need him?

2:11 I take it Karl is telling you to pump that issue cause of the big losses he knows the GOP is going to sustain in Congress? No other explanation for your transparent "Why haven't they cleaned up the mess we Republicans made yet" blather.

Democrats have been running congress since 2006. Thats when this country I love and served has began its fall. Is this the change Democrats want?

2:15 McToady practicing his revisionist history again. Blather it long and loud and maybe somebody somewhere someday will swallow it.

2:42 Pump it McToady! You and Karl Rove are TRAITORS! Did you know that?

Jimmy Carter has a peanut brain and Obama has no brain. Both are anti-Israel. Obama needs written speeches to communicate to the masses. He can't think on his own. His intellect is a myth.

2:15 -McToady? You and your names.. HA!! When faced with truth, you just end up calling names.. You are so shallow.. You fail to realize that those are facts my friend, or did you fail U.S. History class?

2:42 - Please explain the comment, "Traitor?" What the heck is that?? For us disagreeing with the democrats? Once again.... name calling and....Shallow. Grow up

Texas (aka McToady) are you answering for "Don" too? Knew it was you, "Majority of 1". A "Liar for Hire" doesn't deserve an answer or explanation, since you only exist to post Karl's lies and spin.

Interesting article on the US involvement in the foundation of Israel, decided under 2 Democratic Administrations:

http://www.mideastweb.org/us_supportforstate.htm

1:53

If we use that as a marker, how many coffins from Vietnam are there?
How many miles?
Johnson and Kennedy = worst Presidents ever.

How many coffins from Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo?
Clinton

DON'T FIGHT IT!

It's all over. Obama will be the next President and anyone who votes against him is a racist.

It is time to right all the wrongs that have been done to African Americans for the past 300+ years (Slavery and Global Warming).

As soon as President Obama takes office Mandatory slave reparations should be taken from all rich whites with incomes over $50,000.

In addition, mandatory Affirmative Action MUST be instituted for a minimum of 50% of all positions at colleges/Universities, the news media and corporations nationwide.

All military support for the Apartheid and racist State of Israel must be ended immediately.

Naturally all African Americans in the prison system for alleged crimes against whites MUST be released immediately.

This will be a good beginning to atone for white crimes and racism

Average length of coffin = 7 feet.
754.3 coffins in a mile.
4,000 coffins = 5.3 miles
56,000 coffins = 74.2 miles

LBJ by 68.9 miles

2:58 -
I pitty you because you are so simple minded. You clearly can't believe half the hogwash that you spit out. If you don't believe history, what do you believe? Where do you stand? If you disagree with me what Carter has done in history by calling them lies, tell me where I am wrong.. What do you believe? I am leaning towards anti-semetic and anti-American. (I already know how you are going to respond... name calling and catchy phrases... Please have an adult conversation)

Mohamed -
You are basically saying that ALL whites are racist... Your comments, my friend, represent racism and hate.

when will the Jewish people wake up and realize that the Democratic party follows and gives praise to the anti-christ OBAMA. I know that you won't put this in the comments, but alot of people feel this way. Thanks for letting one cry in the wilderness.

3:03 Bush lied and started a war for corporate profits. Why were those other wars started? (Now look up the appropriate blather response to that in one of Paul Johnson's books.)

3:09 I guess the real issue is the morphing of war for freedom to war against secession and slavery to war against communism to war for profit. If you're just counting coffins and not motives, I guess Lincoln wins by a long shot. But I digress because you're just being willfully ignorant.

Bush = WORST PRESIDENT EVER - for many reasons.

3:23

LBJ lied and said the North Vietnamese attacked a US ship in Tonkin.

JFK lied and said the US would support Cuban rebels

FDR lied and said the US would not involve itself in European affairs.

Wilson lied and said the US would remain neutral in European wars

what's your point?

3:27

who do you think profited from the arms race of the 1960's? Ike warned us about the rise of the military/industrial complex. JFK and LBJ quadrupled it.

It is settled then. After following the democratic primary, No other party besides the democratic party contains as many "racists" "fascist" "anti-American" "Hateful" "dishonest" "backstabbing" "crooks" "degenerates" as the democratic party.
The day is near when they will be tried for treason, along with their media "who*es".

3:30 Sorry, but you're making my point. You're just a Troll and arguing with you is pointless. Bush told a cold blooded lie and orchestrated a war for his own profit. There was no other reason for it. That's the difference. That's the bottom line. Add in everything else he's done to ruin us, and he is TWPE.

Omega83: Yes, but that's a generalization. I'm talking about a war that was premeditated, carefully planned, and sold to the American people on a false pretext. And the only purpose was to open new profit opportunities for the cadre that orchestrated it. I don't see any precedent in any President in history, do you?

I have it from good sources that Mrs. Obama blew through a quarter oz of pure Peruvian powder pre speech last night. If you watch the replay, you'll see that the left side of her face is droopy and she is constantly sniffing her noise to keep the drain going. Mrs. Obama is a cocaine addict and Barry is the supplier.

3:44

one could make the argument that the current war in Iraq is merely continuity of the first Gulf War. Terms of the first war included sanctions placed upon Iraq, sanctions Hussein repeatedly violated and thus kept Iraq in perpetual war with the United States. the second intervention merely upheld the failed provisions of the first.

Once again 3:39 you are so simple minded. Yet again you go to name calling.. If Bush orchestrated a war for his own profit, then he did a horrible job since his approval ratings are so low... Are you talking about oil? Stop with that argument already. With the money he has made prior to being President and the salary he will get after he is out of office, he is set for life...... You are very simple minded to honestly think that getting rid of a brutal dictator was not a reason... (Yeah.. I know these are words that Karl Rove told me or what read from a book right?)

I don't get how you Bush haters think he is so stupid and slow, but then turnaround and say that he planned and orchestrated a war to get dollars from it... If that last part is true then Bush is an absolute genious! Come on.. get off of it already.

Change they say! Good response below, may I add the following: if they told America what they really (they being Obama and his far left agenda) want to change then America will know the truth and they surely won't be elected. If you want a far left liberal whack job, socialistic, high taxes, with "know nothing- do nothing" people further in charge (i.e Pelosi who doesn't know a fossil fuel and doesn't even know her own religion. What an idiot). Then vote obama. If you want people in White House who know how to run America (sans last few years with herr Pelosi in charge, or inept) then vote GOP.
da truth

3:53 No, I believe the first Gulf War was justified. Hussein attacked an ally of ours despite warnings not to. I was a Republican back then and I voted for GHW Bush and thought he was a decent man. His son has changed my opinion of the family completely. He has become involved with a bunch of selfish neo-cons who have lost all of their human decency. McCain has now joined the gang, in a blatant sell-out to win an election. You can argue some secondary reasons for the invasion if you want to, even Bush changed his story from WMDs to terrorism to deposing a dangerous dictator. But he really did it for the oil. (And he's even failing at that right now.)

3:59 - Crappola.

I pity all of you and our country. we the sheep are doomed. Rah Rah democrats Rah rah republicans!. Hang on tight America, "change" is coming.

You Democrats are all Lemmings!! You call us Trolls. We don't follow each other off the cliff like you all do.

billy carter - jimmy's brother is barack's daddy.
the mystery ends. no more goatherder from kenya who went to harvard after raping obama's mother.

Hold up a minute...

Democrats and Republicans are Both responsible for USA's problems. George Bush couldn't do all this damage they say he has all by himself! It's a Democratic Congress that's messing things up! In Fact... the Democrats and the Republicans are just different types of BAD for our country because both are totally corrupt and have their own agenda which is not in the interst of USA as we know and love it..... None of them are in touch with the people, much less what's REALLY good for the people of USA

Carter is definately anti-Israel and in fact Carter helped radical Islamic terrorism to come about during his presidency.

USA is falling due to the following:

One-World-Ism
Illegals draining the economy
Outsourcing our jobs abroad
Importing from USA-Hostile Countries
Pandering to Muslim Extremists
America-Hating Liberals
Pro-Abortionists
Anti-Capitol Punishment
Lack of Oil Exploration in AK and sea
Ripping Christianity out of USA Gov
Pro-Homosexuality
Not protecting the borders and our laws
Persecution of non-custodial parents...

The list goes on and on!!

Add Political Correctness and Frivolous lawsuits to the mess!!

Got to be extra careful what you say now as to not "Offend anyone" (boo,hoo) and got to be extra careful what you do also... you can get sued for anything these days!!

USA is being eaten alive from the inside and it's DYING - it's greatness is leaving... God Save USA :(
