Censure Carter TV Commercial
Monday, April 03, 2006   By: Juan Paxety

Carter criticized for closeness to dictators and terrorists

As we've written before, there's a move underway to censure former president and dictator appeaser Jimmy Carter. Mr. Carter has hobnobbed with fidel, helped hugo chavez stay in office, and has offered comfort to our enemies in our war against Islamic fascism by supporting Yasser Arafat and HAMAS. He also, without any authority from President Clinton, engaged in talks with North Korea that led directly to their having time to develop their nuclear program.

CensureCarter.com seems to be run by a California broadcasting personality named Melanie Morgan. I've never heard of her. But she has this to say about our former peanut raising president:

I have a better idea, how about censuring a president who has increasingly led an effort to undermine American foreign policy and who has embraced terrorist organizations and urged international funding for them.

How about censuring former president Jimmy Carter?

While the mainstream news media has portrayed Carter in a saintly light, preoccupied with building homes for the underprivileged, Carter has devoted most of his time to condemning the United States to any audience who will have him.

The man who sat impotent while Iranian radicals stormed the American Embassy in Tehran has been busy appeasing America's enemies since he left the White House.

As WorldNetDaily reported last January, Carter hob-knobbed with an unregistered Iraqi agent, Samir Vincent, inviting him into his home, and giving him a guided tour of the Carter Center in Atlanta, Ga.

Samir Vincent was an agent of Saddam Hussein who helped Iraq evade compliance with the U.N.-approved "Oil for Food" program. Billions of dollars were funneled from the "Oil for Food" program into Saddam's military.

While wining and dining the Iraqi agent, Carter blasted U.S. foreign policy in Iraq and the economic sanctions that had been imposed against Saddam Hussein because of his repeated refusals to comply with U.N. sanctions.

Not surprisingly, Carter later emerged as one of the leading figures to oppose Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ironically, one of the reasons Carter cited for his opposition to military action was that it might prompt Saddam Hussein to use chemical or biological weapons, which Carter said he believed Hussein had.

Apparently Carter favors appeasement of those who would seek to bring devastation to American cities, a position not altogether different from the position Carter took in the face of threats of Soviet aggression during his presidency.

Now CensureCarter.com has released its first video commercial advocating the censure. You can see it here - it opens Windows Media Player on my machine.  The group obviously needs to get itself better organized - there is no direct link to the video from the front page of their site - and the audio tag of the commercial says "Go to CensureJimmyCarter.com" - while the video shows CensureCarter.com. Both urls take you to the same site, however, but not having video and audio in agreement is just sloppy TV.

(Disclosure - the writers of this site had a total of 15 opportunities to vote against Jimmy Carter and exercised their right to do so on each occastion.)
