Rack Jimmy Carter

Post by LTS TRN 2 »

Who'd a thunk that the man who was assaulted by a swimming rabbit, who CANCELLED the Olympics, and who did NOT have sex with that woman, the one-term president whose sister-in-law was an absolute born again nutcase...suddenly WAKES UP!!!!!!

Get the fuck on the train, people, because the tolling knell has been sounded. The bizarre and hideous race-state experiment--belched from Europe after its WWII disgorgement of primivity--the white race hyper-military ZioNazi war machine, is being HEELED by the brave and DIALED peanut farmer.

Seen his book?

Seen the reviews? NOT in the NY Times. They're puking in their nervous sudden upchuck--tastes like hotdogs--and hunkering down.

But Jimmy Carter has loosed the Word.

Question: Are you totally ignorant as to the heinous mass torture being inflicted upon the 3.5 million Palestinians RIGHT NOW by the "Israeli" gang?

Are you In TOTAL denial, that is, as to the sheer NAZI behavior of the Zionist state?

Have you been a sheltered puppet, that is, til now?

It's Wake Up time.

READ THE BOOK--it's honest and real.

As long as the Israelis kill as many of those Gehena-bound scumbags as possible, the better I'll sleep.

Also, I hope their 2 diesel subs are patrolling in the Gulf right now ready to launch nukes on Tehran if that psycho feels froggy.

I hate Islam and all of its shitbags equally. None of you are worthy of life. You are fuckin' parasites and the dregs of mankind. Your fate has been written and I can't wait for your 2nd death which is eternal.

Good times to follow!

For anyone interested in Carter, I recommend Jimmy Carter and the Great Leap of Faith and Address by Jimmy Carter on Law Day: University of Georgia, Athens, GA by Hunter S. Thompson. They can be found in the collection The Great Shark Hunt.

I don't hate Islam. I just hate the people that live in that region.

I DO think the US needs to stop trying to influence them.


Hey PSUFAN, how about a summary for those interested but not interested enough.

We think that Jimmy Carter is a big fucking white liberal pussy and that his book is complete camel shit.


Sincerely,

The Raghead President of Iran and all my homies who took American hostages in 1979.

Why do the Iranians hate the Americans attempt to influence their lives by establishing the Shah's power?
a) sovereign countrys often don't like outside influences
b) Shah wasn't much fun to live under
c) because Carter is a white liberal pussy

Why did the students storm the American embassy?
a) radical Islam movement took hold amongst the young
b) America was seen as the people that put the Shah in power
c) because Carter is a white liberal pussy

wow. is it that great that Kenneth Stein resigned his position on the Carter Center board and had this to say about the book?


'President Carter's book on the Middle East, a title too inflammatory to even print, is not based on unvarnished analyses; it is replete with factual errors, copied materials not cited, superficialities, glaring omissions, and simply invented segments. Aside from the one-sided nature of the book, meant to provoke, there are recollections cited from meetings where I was the third person in the room, and my notes of those meetings show little similarity to points claimed in the book. Being a former President does not give one a unique privilege to invent information or to unpack it with cuts, deftly slanted to provide a particular outlook.'

but he's just some filthy Jew who's opinion is biased, huh?

How many Americans give a flying fuck about the Iranians now or any time in the past ?

a) Ted Kennedy and his bitch Hillary
b) None
c) only Bizzarefellatio

Why did the Iranian students errrr....terrorists hold our hostages for over a year ??

a) Because Jimmah Carter is a white liberal pussy ??
b) Because hand wringing liberals like BadFellatio proped Jimmah and his " diplomacy" ??
c) Because they knew the Democrats were too chicken shit to do anything ??

Why did the Iranian students errrrr terrorists release the hostages when Ronnie was elected ?

a) Because they knew the shit was going to come down when Ronnie got in office ?
b) Because BadFellatio ran out of imported hashish ?
c) Because Jimmah Carter is a white liberal pussy ?

The correct answer is because they knew they could make more deals with Reagan than they could with Carter. See the hostages in Lebanon for further examples.

Carter looked into the eyes of the Ayatollah Khomeni and just knew he could trust him.


Of course, Carter is a brain dead shitbag who has never been right about anything except by accident.

Kinda early to be hitting the bong that hard ain't it ??

Carter was responsible ??? BWWAAAAHAAA Fucking haaaaa

They released them because when Ronnie got in office he was gonna bomb the fuck out of them and stack their Muslim bodies high in the street in the pig shit where they belong. Kinda like Johnston spent all those years jacking off while we had POW's in Vietnam ??

We never got around to bombing the fuck out of them. In fact, Ronnie gave them money to buy more bombs.

You mean like he did when 240 US Marines got blown to hell in Lebanon?

That's what I fucking thought. Have another cup of STFU while you're at it.

No, the 1985 deals were just the first ones that Raygun and Bush couldn't figure out how to lie their way out of.

But hey, at least Bush41 had the decency to pardon all of the people that sold arms to radical islamic freaks who took Americans hostage and lied to Congress about it. That was awfully nice of him. Hell, he gave some of them jobs in the White House, even.

Let's compare that to the prosecution of the Vietnam debacle by your boy Johnson, who did not do jack fucking shit because of public opinion by the hippie radicals that got all the pub.

Then your boy Cliton took some time out from getting his dicked sucked in the oval office to let the Army get it's ass kicked in Somolia....oh wait... he lobbed a few cruise missles around (that missed) and called her good.

Kind of looks like both the R's and D's could learn a few lessons about asserting themselves in conflict.

yep. read on. IT ain't pretty, but its true.
The death of the Shah on July 27 and the invasion of Iran by Iraq in September, 1980 made Iran more receptive to resolve the hostage crisis, while Carter lost the November 1980 presidential election in a landslide to Ronald Reagan. Shortly after the election, but before the inauguration of President Reagan, the Carter administration, with the assistance of intermediaries such as Algerian diplomat Abdulkarim Ghuraib, opened fruitful, but demeaning, negotiations between the U.S. (Still under President Carter) and Iran. This resulted in the "Algiers Accords" of January 19, 1981, committing Iran to free the hostages immediately. Essential to the Algiers Accords and reportedly a non-negotiable requirement of Iran that the weak Carter Administration reluctantly conceded was Point I: Non-Intervention in Iranian Affairs. It reads "The United States pledges that it is and from now on will be the policy of the United States not to intervene, directly or indirectly, politically or militarily, in Iran's internal affairs." Other provisions of the Algiers Accords were the unfreezing of 8 billion dollars worth of Iranian assets and immunity from lawsuits Iran might have faced. On January 20, 1981, twenty minutes after President Reagan's inaugural address, the hostages were formally released into U.S. custody

Well he's made the decisions. The people in the military have done the stomping. I think Dinsdale's point is that the "stomping" has come at great cost, whereas Clinton's guided missiles and aerial bombardment didn't cost as much and more or less accomplished the same thing ..... dead muslims.

They released the hostages because they knew the minute Ronnie lifted his hand from the Bible, he was going back to the White House and pick up the red phone and tell the boys to fire at will.

Total horseshit. Did Ronnie do that in the hostage crises that he faced during his terms? Of course he didn't.

Don't try to slather Derron with facts. He's going to run the other way, just as he runs from soap and water.

Total horseshit.
It isn't total horseshit at all. There absolutely was uncertainty in Iran over how Reagan would react to the situation once he took office. Mostly due to Carter's hysterical campaign rhetoric painting Reagan as some kind of violent, racist cowboy who would think nothing of plunging the world into thermonuclear war.
iran had more immediate problems and they had been looking for a way out of the hostage crisis. Ronnie on the horizon certainly was an unknown threat they didn't need on top of the war they were already fighting, but neither he nor his administration was involved in the whole deal.


makes a nice story, though.
