Ex-president and Jew hater for sale - Jimmy Carter's dirty little secret

Ahh, the good old days...back when senility was just setting in....


There's been a certain - aroma - around ex-president Jimmy Carter for quite some time now. Lately, the smell has gotten so sickening that even long time admirers of his like the Leftist columnist Michael Kinsley have urged him to clean up his act.

Carter has been a long time anti-Semite and Israel basher, as well as a proponent of Yasir Arafat and what he dubs `the Palestinian Cause'. He's been justifying this obvious bias for years by claiming that his only motive is `peace'.

Lately, Carter has been making the round touting his latest book,` Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid'. It is full of lies, distortions, outright falsehood, and if Carter Center fellow and longtime adviser Kenneth Stein (who resigned over what he called `fabrications, designed to provoke' in the book ) is to be believed, plagiarism.

Carter has refused to defend the book on its merits or factual content, and has merely stated to all queries that he `stands by the book.'

Instead, he's tried to shift the focus away from any criticism and focus on his critics.

Carter's been loud in complaining that critic of his book are `compromised' by their ties to AIPAC, the so-called `Jewish lobby' and, in a new low even for him, simply because they're Jews. In making the rounds of interview about his book, Carter never misses an opportunity to mention what he likes to call the "powerful influence of AIPAC," or “representatives of Jewish organizations” in the media as the prime culprits behind criticism of his latest screed and, believe it or not "university campuses with high Jewish enrollment" as an excuse to avoid debating people like Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz.

So, according to Carter, criticism of him and his book by people with a Jewish or pro-Israel taint is dishonest and caused by hidden, dishonest motives which makes their position suspect.

Well and good. But let's examine Jimmy Carter's motivations, shall we? For a start, let's follow the money trail to see where President Carter is coming from.

For instance, the the Carter Center, which Carter founded at Emory University in 1982, has been the recipient of Arab mega-bucks for years. And still is.

Carter is a major recipient of aid from the Saudis, for instance. Before his death in 2005, King Fahd was a longtime contributor to the Carter Center and gave Carter several million-dollar donations. In 1993 alone, King Fahd presented Carter with a gift of $7.6 million. And the king was definitely not alone in his largesse. As of 2005, the king’s high-living nephew, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, has donated at least $5 million to the Carter Center...that we know about.

The Saudi Fund for Development, the kingdom’s leading loan organization and one of the sources of money for all those hardline mosques and madrassahs shows up repeatedly on the Carter center’s list of supporters. Carter has also taken money from the Bin Laden family - in 2000 he secured a pledge from the bin-Laden family for a $1 million contribution to his center.

Another big source of funds for Carter has been the United Arab Emirates. In 2001, Carter went to Dubai - a country where Jews are not permitted by law, incidentally - to accept the Zayed International Prize for the Environment, named for Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, the late UAE sheik and founder of the government funded Zayed Center, the source of some of the most virulently anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda in the world. Among other things, the Zayed Center took a book written by a French author claiming that 9/11 was an inside job by the CIA and the Mossad, translated into Arabic and distributed it throughout the entire Middle East. And the Zayed Center is a prime benefactor and host to Holocaust deniers of all persuasions.

Carter got a $500,000 prize from these people, and when he spoke at the awards ceremony,he gushed that the "award has special significance for me because it is named for my personal friend, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan al-Nahyan."

Birds of a feather, eh, Mr. Carter?

President Carter still receives a yearly stipend from the Zayed Center. Jew hatred and Israel bashing pays pretty well.

Even funnier, Carter has called the UAE as an "almost completely open and free society" - this in a country where the `government' - the ruling Sheik - picks a select group of citizens to `vote', exercises strict press censorship, bars Jews from the country and follows the diktats of sharia law.

And he calls Israel a `racist apartheid state'?

Jimmy Carter, frankly, has become a bought and paid for shill for the Arabs to parrot their racist, anti-Israel agenda. He has forfeited any right to be taken seriously, and in reality ought to be forced to register as a foreign lobbyist.

He was an utter failure and disgrace as a president and has metamorphosed into a sour, bitter senile old bigot redolent of intellectual flatulence who deserves the disdain of any person with even a semblance of decency or patriotism.
