Now, the former peanut farmer tells CNN he never said that. Carter claims he said the “fringe element” were racist — not the majority.

Let’s look at the tape and see if Jimmy is being honest…

I didn’t hear anything about “fringe elements”, did you?

Now, listen to what Jimmy told CNN about the comments you just watched…

The old man is not only a fool — he’s a liar. I can’t believe she didn’t challenge him on what he said. She should have read the transcripts back or played the clip.

Not satisfied with accusing everyone who disagrees with President Obama of being racist, the idiot from Plains spoke out yet again — this time from Columbia.

Carter told a Columbian newspaper that he believed the Bush administration was behind the coup against Hugo Chavez in 2002 in Venezuela.

“I think there is no doubt that in 2002, the United States had at the very least full knowledge about the coup, and could even have been directly involved.”

As usual, Jimmy offered no proof or supporting evidence of his latest charges. This from easily our worst president ever or certainly of the 20th century.

It’s official. Former President Jimmy Carter has finally lost it. The guy who literally destroyed our economy to the point that people were lining up at soup kitchens is slamming President Bush over the economy.

Former President Jimmy Carter said on Friday the “atrocious economic policies” of the Bush administration had caused the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Carter told reporters on a stopover in Brussels that “profligate spending,” massive borrowing and dramatic tax cuts since President George W. Bush took office in 2001 were behind the market turmoil and economic crisis.

“I think it’s because of the atrocious economic policies of the Bush administration,” said the 84-year-old Democrat, who served in the White House from 1977-1981 during a period of high inflation and energy crisis.

Like he was during his four years as President and every subsequent year since, Carter is just wrong. Tax cuts didn’t have a thing to with it nor did “profligate spending.” Instead it was cowardly democrats like him who caused this mess. Guys like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who fought tooth and nail to keep any new regulations on Fannie and Freddie from passing.

I hate to belabor the point, because it seems like I’m always talking about Jimmy Carter. There is nobody on this planet less qualified to give advice about anything besides peanut farming than Jimmy Carter. He was absolutely the worst president in modern history. His economic policies were an absolute disaster as was his foreign policy.

This is the guy who stopped backing the Shah which led to the coup in Iran that we’re still dealing with today. He allowed the Iranians to hold U.S. citizens hostage for 444 days and humiliate us in front of the world.

It took Reagan 8 years to heal the damage caused by Carter’s brief tenure at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

It seems Jimmy Carter just can’t help himself anymore. Whether the former President is denouncing the sitting President, condemning Israel, yukking it up with brutal dictators, or offering unsolicited advice on any number of topics, you can always count on Jimmy for a good sound bite.

Such was the case at the DNC. Carter was originally scheduled to give a speech, but to their credit the Obama camp realized that now is not the time to start Jew bashing. So the former Peacenik-in-Chief only got to wave to the crowd this year.

Since he couldn’t speak to a huge crowd of liberals in person, he did the next best thing and spoke to MSNBC. Not surprisingly, Keith Olbermann was delighted to have the former President. Sensing a sympathetic ear, Carter spoke in glowing terms about Barack Obama, admitting that he ‘wept’ when Obama gave his famous speech about race some months back.

He also took shots at Republicans, lamenting the “subtle and sometimes overt racism” the GOP uses to gain power. He went on to insinuate that Ronald Reagan ran a racist campaign in 1980.

One could simply say that Jimmy Carter puts the ‘ass’ in classy.

But that’s not all, he also gave an interview to USA Today just before Obama’s acceptance speech and dropped a few more stink bombs:

Former president Jimmy Carter called Republican presidential candidate John McCain a “distinguished naval officer,” but he said the Arizona senator has been “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

…he said he was bewildered by McCain’s performance at the Saddleback Presidential Forum hosted by pastor and author Rick Warren in Lake Forest, Calif., earlier this month.

Carter said that whether he was asked about religion, domestic or foreign affairs, every answer came back to McCain’s 5½ years as a POW.

“John McCain was able to weave in his experience in a Vietnam prison camp, no matter what the question was,” Carter said. “It’s much better than talking about how he’s changed his total character between being a senator, a kind of a maverick … and his acquiescence in the last few months with every kind of lobbyist pressure that the right-wing Republicans have presented.”

He also went after Joe Lieberman:

He decried Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman’s decision to “abandon” the Democrats by speaking at the Republican convention next week.

“I would hope that the Democrats could have enough senators elected in November so that we would not any longer need to include Joe Lieberman among the senators,” Carter said.

Putting aside all the ‘worst President’ labels the left throws at President Bush, the history books accurately reflect the fact that Jimmy Carter was in fact the worst President. His foreign policy and his domestic policy was an absolute disaster that Ronald Reagan spent eight years trying to clean up.

Here’s where things stood in 1980, Carter’s last year in office, and in subsequent periods:

Carter: Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. Misery Index, 20.5%. Let’s also not forget the hostage crisis in Iran along with the horribly botched rescue mission that crashed in the desert.

Reagan’s last year: Interest rate, 9%. Inflation, 4.1%. Unemployment, 5.5%. Misery Index, 9.6%.

Bush (2007): Interest rate, 8%. Inflation, 2.6%. Unemployment, 4.5%. Misery Index, 7.1%.

Jimmy Carter should stick to giving advice about peanut farming and building houses for the homeless, because he lacks any credibility in politics — unless he’s on MSNBC of course.

McCain on Carter:

Carter was a lousy president….This is the same guy who kissed Brezhnev….

I love it when people tell the truth about Jimmy Carter. It blows my mind when Democrats say that President Bush is the worst President in history. That’s laughable when you compare Bush’s record with Carter’s. Jimmy Carter was complete disastor both in foreign policy and domestic policy.

Here’s where things stood in 1980, Carter’s last year in office, and in subsequent periods:

Carter: Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. The so-called “Misery Index,” which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election, 20.5%.

I think that pretty much qualifies as “lousy”

For the second time in recent weeks, honorary Palestinian militant and former President, Jimmy Carter, opined about Mid-East peace and offered his own foreign policy.

While in the Welsh border town of Hay to attend the Guardian literary festival, Carter told the Guardian that Britain and other European governments should break from the US over the international embargo on Gaza.

He described the EU’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute as “supine” and its failure to criticise the Israeli blockade of Gaza as “embarrassing”.

He also called on the EU to reassess its position on Hamas if the terrorist group agrees to a cease-fire.

Carter never misses an opportunity to criticize Israel and carry water for Hamas. I really think the old man has lost it. Hamas is one of the most vicious terrorist groups on earth, and a former President of the United States hugs these people and constantly shills for them.

Never mind the constant rocket attacks on Israeli civilians or the 4-ton truck bomb that detonated at the border with Gaza instead of Israel thanks to an alert Israeli soldier.

For Carter it’s all about peace and negotiation and hugs, but Carter doesn’t live in the real world. That’s why he allowed Iran to make a mockery of America while he was President.

When President Bush spoke of appeasement while in Israel recently, he was speaking about Jimmy Carter. Carter has shown himself to be the world’s biggest appeaser time and time again.

Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, “went to the region with soiled hands and came back with bloody hands after shaking the hand of Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas,” Ambassador Dan Gillerman told a luncheon briefing for reporters.

The Ambassador should be applauded for speaking the truth about the former President. Carter proved once an for all that he is no friend of Israel. This most recent misadventure is merely the latest attempt by Carter to further his anti-Israel crusade.

Gillerman wasn’t through with Carter yet:

The ambassador called last weekend’s encounter “a very sad episode in American history.”

He said it was “a shame” to see Carter, who had done “good things” as a former president, “turn into what I believe to be a bigot.”

Carter has had a fetish for dictators and terrorists for years, but he finally went too far this time.

“President Carter came to the region thinking he could achieve something. Unfortunately president Carter left without anything concrete,” he told a conference in the Spanish capital.

“The only thing he achieved was permission on the part of Khaled Meshaal of Hamas to deliver a letter from a detained Israeli soldier to his family. Nothing else,” he said.

“Hamas offered nothing to president Carter. They reiterated the same positions. There was no change on the part of Hamas,” Malki added.

Actually Al-Malki is wrong to say that Carter’s trip achieved nothing. One achievement was giving legitimacy on the world stage to one of the most notorious terrorist organizations on earth.

Carter gave legitimacy to a group which thinks sending young men into Israel wearing vests packed with explosives and nails in to blow themselves up is the fastest way to heaven. A group that raises their children to believe that killing Jews is their duty as Palestinians and God will reward them for it.

Hamas is a group of cold-blooded killers pure and simple. For Jimmy Carter to have met with the group’s leadership in Syria (right in the belly of the beast) was a disgrace.

He continues to be shockingly naive in his belief that “talking” with dictators and terrorists is the solution for everything, and as usual he was proven wrong.

Israel made its feelings known about former President Jimmy Carter’s upcoming meeting with the exiled leader of Hamas, by refusing to assist the Secret Service with protecting the ex-President. It’s standard procedure for the Secret Service to cooperate with their Israeli counterpart, known as the Shin Bet.

The U.S. and Israeli security services typically share the duties of guarding visiting dignitaries, but not this time. In an unprecedented move, the Shin Bet declined to even meet with the Secret Service detail guarding Carter.

Even worse, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert also refused to meet with the ex-President. Carter was forced to meet with the ceremonial President of Israel, Shimon Perez.

As if Carter’s ridiculous trip to meet with the leader of Hamas in Syria wasn’t enough, the ex-President asked to meet with notorious Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouthi who is serving five life sentences for murder. Not surprisingly, the Israeli authorities refused to allow any such visit.

For some reason Jimmy Carter has a real fetish for meeting with the world’s worst dictators and terrorist organizations. I don’t know why the peanut farmer turned horrible President can’t just enjoy his twilight years here at home seen but not heard.

Carter was one the worst Presidents in American history with a particularly horrible legacy in the area of foreign policy, so he’s the last guy that should be running around meeting with our enemies.
