Apparently as a response to Russ Feingold’s resolution to censure Dubya, the freepers have been hard at work trying to build momentum for a congressional resolution to censure Jimmy Carter.That’s right, Jimmy Carter.
There was actually some discussion about this between fellow wingnuts Neal Cavuto and Melanie Morgan back in March, but the TV ad has just recently aired (Crooks and Liars has it along with related links).
I suppose to the freeper mentality, the reasons for this pathetic action are too numerous to mention (see, Carter supposedly embraced Fidel Castro, supposedly supports Hugo Chavez and also said that the Hamas victory in the Palestinian election – monitored by Carter – was legitimate, all of which is completely unacceptable to them, of course).
Well, this takes you to a transcript of the broadcast of the News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS that aired the day that Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace price in 2002. Among Carter’s accomplishments cited on the program:
- His pivotal role in the Camp David AccordsAnd by the way, Dr. Kaloogian, as Will Bunch pointed out, do you have any word on when we’ll eventually see those photos of busy, prosperous, downtown Baghdad?
- His support of human rights throughout the world during his presidency
- His role in the Panama Canal Treaty
- His mediation in the 1989 elections in Panama, becoming one of the first to speak out about General Manuel Noriega
- His mentoring of Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua to hasten democratic reforms
- His diplomatic intervention in Haiti and North Korea during the Clinton Administration
