Video: Useful idiot makes himself useful to Hamas

No surprise. He’s been making himself useful to them for years, from accusing Israel of apartheid to lying about the history of U.S. policy towards Hamas to insisting on national television that the group can be trusted to literally embracing their scumbag leadership and finally to blithely asserting here that Hamas’s leaders “want peace,” based on what evidence I can scarcely imagine. I wish he’d have elaborated on his point about the F-16s, though. I’m curious to know whether he thinks the solution there is to stop selling arms to Israel or to start selling arms to Hamas.
Oh, and he also wants them taken off the State Department’s terror list, naturally. Proof positive that no matter how willing Obama is to shake Iran’s bloody hand, there are still lines he won’t cross that Jimbo’s only too happy to sail over. Kudos to the cameraman, by the way, for keeping the shifty-looking Hamas “minder” in frame for the duration, thereby further undermining Carter’s credibility.

Hey, Ho,
It’s America’s Mimbo!
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:38 PM
The ole expression: “the good die young” comes to mind.
But he’s got to be very happy! In his own lifetime, he has now seen a worse President than himself.
Dingbat63 on June 16, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Can they do us a favor and keep President Peanut?
amerpundit on June 16, 2009 at 7:40 PM
I feel bad for the Secret Service agents that must protect him for the rest of his days.
myrenovations on June 16, 2009 at 7:40 PM
Oh, and I’m guessing he wants us to give arms to Hamas while no longer selling arms to the Israelis.
myrenovations on June 16, 2009 at 7:41 PM
Maybe they’ll elect him their leader.

Neville Carter
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 7:42 PM
Carter is obviously from another planet
marktarheel on June 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
AP, you forget that HAMAS ’saved’ his life in Gaza or so they say. This man has no shame, and his hatred for the Jewish people has no bound.
Lance Murdock on June 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
Uncle Sam just can’t seem to scrap this one off his shoe.
ronsfi on June 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
I think Neville realized his mistake.
the_nile on June 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
So that’s why they kidnap a soldier, and hold him in an underground cell for nearly two years now, and deny the Red Cross and everyone else access.
Odd that you didn’t ask to see Schalit. Afraid you couldn’t hold back the tears if you did?
Wethal on June 16, 2009 at 7:44 PM
More like Vidkun Carter
J.J. Sefton on June 16, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Wow.
Anyone ever read Political Pilgrims by Paul Hollander?
That comes to mind…
Marty Peretz of the New Republic, admittedly a very pro-Israel writer, attributes Carter’s view to the old Christian anti-semitism.
But that doesn’t make any sense because if the state of Israel consisted of Baptists or Catholics or Episcopalians, Carter would still be blaming them.
No, it’s not anti-semitism; it’s good old-fashioned leftwing blame the west first guilt.
Or he’s an idiot. One of the two.
SteveMG on June 16, 2009 at 7:45 PM
True more like Tokyo Rose.
Altzheimers is a sad thing. At least Ronnie fought it and kept his dignity.
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Agreed!! Must be some real bad duty.
‘Damn!!! I don’t know what happened!! He must have fell down the stairs!!’
BigWyo on June 16, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I don’t understand how it is acceptable for a former POTUS to mingle with terrorists and try to influence the current administration on their behalf to strike the “Terrorist” label. Yet, nothing but run-of-the-mill story reporting from the media.
Too bad GW is too classy to go to Israel on a mirror image trip. We all know the OUTRAGE that would ensue if that actually happened.
Fornax on June 16, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Should say more like Jihad Jimmy
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 7:46 PM
He isn’t stupid. He’s very anti semetic. Hamas didnt get on the terrorist list by accident.
dogsoldier on June 16, 2009 at 7:47 PM

portlandon on June 16, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Remember which party gave us Carter. The WORST President ever, the WORST American ever. Ok, second worse to Benedict Arnold.

Cameraman under the bus in 3…2…
TheQuestion on June 16, 2009 at 7:48 PM
He can’t see the destruction in Israel because the Jewish people clean up and rebuild the devastated buildings and lives.
lowandslow on June 16, 2009 at 7:48 PM
James Earl Carter: the mistake that keeps on giving.
SailorDave on June 16, 2009 at 7:48 PM
BTW Keep talking Jimmy and keep mentioning Obama’s Name !
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Seriously, would any of them take a water balloon for him.
I bet they hold up targets when he’s not looking.
Jeff from WI on June 16, 2009 at 7:49 PM
It ain’t over yet. The One hasn’t even gotten his first wind yet. Obama is starting from the place Carter left off. Sad as it is, he’ll probably pass him before the year is out.
AUINSC on June 16, 2009 at 7:51 PM
That’s just what murdering Islamic regimes need right now! A former President giving them an endorsement! A BOOST!
Liberals. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
GunRunner on June 16, 2009 at 7:51 PM
What was he doing standing on the SUV? It almost looked like he was taking a reading for another rocket barrage against Israel.

Hamas saves Jimmuh Cahtuh from Palestinian Hamas.

Compared to Pres. Obama and Pres. Carter, Mr. Clinton is looking like a prize. How sad is that?
Cindy Munford on June 16, 2009 at 7:53 PM
What is it about liberals that makes them want to believe that evil people aren’t; that people aren’t bad, just misunderstood. Its a mental illness.
johnsteele on June 16, 2009 at 7:53 PM
It looked like he was taking propaganda photos to take to the UN.
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 7:54 PM
We’re barely 5 months into this disaster and it feels like 5 years. Look at all we’ve lost in 5 short months. Its one outrage after another with these people. Nonstop.
Don’t think for a second Carter isn’t over there as some sort of “outreach” directly from Obama.
What Carter says is what Obama wants. Bank on it.
elduende on June 16, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Hamas reportedly foiled an attempt by Palestinian terrorists to kill former US president Jimmy Carter during his visit to the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
“We save you Jimmy! Now you save us!, (Tell Habib & Sahiri they did a good job looking scary. We will see them tonight at Hamas club night.)”
portlandon on June 16, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Man wore a sweater.

The Ugly American on June 16, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Has Carter thought about being a citizen in Gazaland!
“I see it has been deliberately destroyed by bombs from
F-16’s,made in my country,and delivered to the Israels,
I feel partially resonsible for this,as must ALL
AMERICANS”. -Jimmy Carter.
———————————————–
Simply,amazing!!
All Americans are guilty for slaughtering,through the
means,of the Israels!!(Not by thinking,but Carters)
The planet hotspots are near tinderbox conditions,just
needs a spark!
Carter is fueling the Jihadys with this nonsense!
canopfor on June 16, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Good point. Clinton actually accomplished NOTHING. The other nice thing is you knew, 100% of the time he was just trolling for some ugly skank.
Jeff from WI on June 16, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Carter is a worthless, dangerous turd.
rplat on June 16, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Will someone just change his depends, whipe the drool off his chin, put the straight jacket on him and put him back in his padded cell… PLEASE?
CynicalOptimist on June 16, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Carter’s a barely-controlled anti-Semite.
Cicero43 on June 16, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Imagine being so obsequious toward people who made your entire Presidency a joke? You have to be really mentally ill to do such a thing.
TheBigOldDog on June 16, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Its good that he is out there making a fool of himself. It reminds people of the other president most like Obama.

Jeff from WI on June 16, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Awwww…. Jimmy’s putting himself in the spotlight again… I guess he’s afraid that Obama’s going to take his title of “Worst. President. Evah!”
I think they can be co-owners of that particular trophy.
jana on June 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
That is what Obama wants also.
izoneguy on June 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Cross the incompetence of Carter with the lying of Clinton and presto, Obama.
crazedarmenian on June 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Can we just get him fitted for a belt and be done with it?
Ronnie on June 16, 2009 at 8:02 PM
O boy,this is priceless,it just hit me!
Obama now has to chase after Carter,with his Apology
for America Tour,except though,Obama probably agree’s
with Carter on this one!!
canopfor on June 16, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Hey Jacka$$ Carter, Your administration screwed up Iran, and helped create Al Quaida.
Do us all a favor and STFU!
BillaryMcBush on June 16, 2009 at 8:02 PM
He’s not in the “Blame America” crowd? right?
the_nile on June 16, 2009 at 8:04 PM
What is this an apology competition between Obama and Carter?
fourdeucer on June 16, 2009 at 8:06 PM
I keep thinking back to 1976, remembering that I thought Mr. Carter was such a nice man, what could go wrong until we could get Ronald Reagan into the Oval Office. And he just keeps showing me what could go wrong. Most people a million years old retire.
Cindy Munford on June 16, 2009 at 8:06 PM
Post of the day..very good! lol !.
jerrytbg on June 16, 2009 at 8:06 PM
What the hell is he doing there anyway?
A) Building Habitat for Humanity houses?
B) Observing an election for irregularities?
C) Removing any doubt he’s senile?
D) All of the above?
BacaDog on June 16, 2009 at 8:07 PM
Mark Twain said it best about Jimmy Carter’s future:
“I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.”

E) Shilling for Obama
elduende on June 16, 2009 at 8:09 PM
I feel no remorse nor will I apologize for F-16’s “my country” sold to the Israelis.
I’m sorry that you are such a lying, scumbag, POS pandering to these other scumbags!
catmman on June 16, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Its called Humanbombs for Hamas over there.
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 8:09 PM
He enabled the present regime in Iran to come into and stay in power. He has to be the worst president we have had in the last 100 years…..
DL13 on June 16, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Carter was just “honored” by the Palis…
Yeah, those Hamas men are so…MANLY, all that chest hair and those big weapons.
Explains a lot. Carter is to terrorists what Michael Jackson is to 14 year-old boys.
Cicero43 on June 16, 2009 at 8:10 PM
That’s what I don’t get. How can Obama even think it’s good to be seen hand in hand with this guy?
califdreamnred on June 16, 2009 at 8:10 PM
This guy and Fidel are really old
AbaddonsReign on June 16, 2009 at 8:11 PM

Yes Jimmy, Hamas wants peace.
This is why they tried to kill you, you effing moron..

I have a hard time understanding how this anti-semite tool continues to have a forum to spread his hate.
When will he just STFU and go off into oblivion, nevah to be heard from again??
belad on June 16, 2009 at 8:18 PM
How is Carter still alive?
He’s too stupid to survive daily life.

Oh wow! Thanks for that new thought!
Did you know you’re named after a beauty shop in my hometown? Yep, “The Final Cut”.

Shouldn’t Jummy be in Iran right now, giving his seal of approval to the election results?
BuzzCrutcher on June 16, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Obama, look carefully. This is your future.

I’m just thankful your beauty shop isn’t called Dark Side of the Moon.

The Nobel Committee gave Al Gore, global warming bullshit artist, a prize over someone who saved dozens of Jews in WWII.
Jimmy Carter should have given it back in disgust right then.
BKennedy on June 16, 2009 at 8:40 PM
What you see in Jimmy Carter are the true beliefs of Liberal Democrats being spoken in public, on foreign soil ………..
…….. with the election of King Tut and the Liberal Democrats control of Congress and the Media, all their Marxist/Socialist ideology, including contempt for the State of Israel, are now free to be brought out into the light and force fed down America’s and our allies’ throat.
Get used to it……….
Seven Percent Solution on June 16, 2009 at 8:45 PM
She only saved 1200+ Jewish children though, algore is saving the planet!
thomasaur on June 16, 2009 at 8:45 PM
By peace, Hamas means killing all the Jews. Nice that the first Carter is still reminding us how bad it was and will be with Carter II in office.
alliebobbitt on June 16, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Plus he invented the internet.
Dingbat63 on June 16, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Isn’t this the same guy who praised the Shah of Iran for his human rights record? Just saying.
If Hamas wanted peace, they would not provoke Israel into attacking the Gaza Strip AND use their own people as human shields. Again, just saying. Israel is the only Middle Eastern country to live up to its end of the bargain.
KillerKane on June 16, 2009 at 8:51 PM
To quote Chris Rocks stand-up, “Nobody’s above an ass-whoopin. There’s a reason to kick an old man down the stairs…You just don’t do it.” This fools actions are beginning to cause the scales to move.
Sam_I_Am on June 16, 2009 at 8:58 PM
