Jimmy Carter Has Some Nerve
This guy makes me want to vomit...
If you follow politics at all, you undoubtedly heard about the beating President Bush took at Corretta Scott King's memorial service last week. Some people that were asked to give speeches. I wouldn't call them eulogies for they were far too political for that. From Ted Kennedy completely forgetting the wiretapping ordered by his brothers, to the Rev. Joseph Lowery bringing up WMD, to former President Jimmy Carter mentioning "illegal wiretapping" at the most opportune moment, it was open season on President Bush at what was supposed to be a memorial to a leader in the Civil Rights movement.
The former President Carter, the man who won a Nobel Peace prize for reaching a deal with North Korea in which they wouldn't produce nuclear weapons, apparently complained about the NSA's terrorist surveillance program at the announcing of his son's campaign for the Senate. Hey Mr. Carter, are the North Koreans living up to their end of the deal? Anyway, according to this Washington Times article at a rally for his son who is running for a senate seat in Nevada, he said:
"Under the Bush administration, there's been a disgraceful and illegal decision -- we're not going to the let the judges or the Congress or anyone else know that we're spying on the American people."
Funny, seems like a lot of Presidents have wiretapped individuals without a warrant, including Mr. Carter. It seems in 1977, President Carter and his Attorney General used warrentless wiretapping to monitor a couple of guys spying for Vietnam. And the evidence obtained in those wiretaps led to their conviction.
According to the Washing Times article, the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the warrentless wiretapping did not violate the man's rights. From the article:
-In its opinion, the court said the executive branch has the "inherent authority" to wiretap enemies such as terror plotters and is excused from obtaining warrants when surveillance is "conducted 'primarily' for foreign intelligence reasons."-
Well, isn't that a daisy? "Inherent authority to wiretap enemies such as terror plotters." Sound familiar?
One point, and maybe a petty one, but what ever happen to the tradition of former presidents never criticizing sitting presidents? It was considered low rent for a former president to politically attack or criticize a sitting president. Notice, we've never heard any attacks on Clinton or Carter from President Bush? Hm, I wonder why that is...
My second point, where does Jimmy Carter get off criticizing any president? He has repeatedly been called the worst president in U.S. history. No need for me to go into his record here, I'm sure you're quite aware of it. And for him to say anything about warrentless wiretapping of anyone is completely absurd.
And to do it at a memorial service for Corretta Scott King? Not only is he a low class redneck for attacking a sitting president, he's really a low class redneck piece of political dung for doing it a memorial service.
Let me put this question out there, and I encourage you to answer it in the comments. What do you think the enemies of this country are thinking when they see on CNN that a former president of the United States is attacking President Bush for trying to listen in on their conversations? They have to laughing their asses off. Do you think this discourages our enemies? No, it only motivates them. It motivates them to keep fighting. It makes them believe that we as a nation are coming apart at the seems and if they can hold on, we will fold and they will have their victory.
Mr Carter, and democrats alike, I'm implore you to shut up! Keep your big mouths shut. If you don't believe in what this president is doing, then put up a candidate that can beat him. But to attack a sitting president in this fashion, in a time of war borders, I believe, on treason. You are clearly providing aid and comfort to our enemies. You are not helping our boys fighting this war. You are not helping our president lead this war. You are undermining him every step of the way. And for what purpose? To gain some political points with your lunatic fringe wing of your pathetic party. Why do you think Ronald Reagan kicked your ass in the election? Because you're an idiot. Hey Mr. Carter, your political career is over so unless you have something responsible to say, keep your freaking big mouth shut. You suck. Your administration sucked. And you are a disgrace as a former President and as a human being. You should be ashamed of yourself. Freaking loser.
