Jimmy Carter Strikes Again - Human Rights Abuses against North Koreans ...

[Capetan Mihali]

OOOh, argumentation by assertion!  That's never been tried on languish before!  I'll bet it works really, really well. 

I can't prove a negative.

JC just speaks truth to power. 

EDIT: Honestly, he really does.    Crybaby Americans just don't want to hear about it.    Yes, Israel is an apartheid state.  No, sanctions have never done anything but starve poor people to death.  No, Bill Clinton is not cool.  Yes, we were malaised.  JC = 4/4.   

You left out the part about Hamas being an organization of peaceful coexistence.   And this thread started with Jimmy C talking about the US and South Korea's moral obligation to feed North Korea, not about the ineffectiveness of sanctions.  Then throw in the bit about the free and fair election in Venezuela.  And the racism of anyone opposed to Obamacare. 

If you mean he sometimes speaks truth to power, but most of the time he's off by a country mile, you might have a point.

Maybe he speaks truth at power?  Towards power?

He speaks a lot in the vicinity of power.

Actually I think he's more of a douchebag than a moron.  Yes, he does build houses for poors, but his constant attention whoring betrays him as an unrepentant egomaniac, and his tendency to say dumb shit about what the current President is doing is couterproductive.  Notice how whenever there's a current-and-former Presidents gathering, he's always standing off to the side in the group photo?  I'm sure they all hate him.

Yep

No, sanctions have never done anything but starve poor people to death.

They work against a government that has at least a little concern about their own citizens.  That's why they worked eventually against South Africa but won't work against North Korea.  The Nationalist government, as bad as its racial views were, did at least care a bit about their people, while the North Korean leadership obviously doesn't.

That's why it's better in most situations to just bomb the shit outta stuff.

No, Bill Clinton is not cool.

Yep.

Yes, we were malaised.

Yes, but his understanding of the cause and ideas about how to cure it were way off.  Sort of as if a doctor saw that you can't breath, decided that you have lung cancer, and wanted to start you on chemo, when actually you couldn't breath because you were having a heart attack.
 

JC = 4/4.  

More like 2.5/4, and the 2 were just stating the obvious (or what should be obvious).

I've read some stuff that certainly suggests that most of them view him with thinly-disguised contempt.  Oddly, the one who was least negative towards him was Ford.  Clinton appartantly particularly was negative about him, possibly partly because criticism of his foreign policy by a fellow Democrat was potentially more damaging.

Didn't Jimmy criticize him for Monicagate, too?  Remember Carter is a Baptist wacko... IIRC he still teaches Sunday School in Plains.
