Get This Folks!
Guess who Obama is going to have speak at the Democratic National Convention? Wait for it... Wait for it...
Ex-president Dhimmi Carter
I have been saying ever since I have heard of Mr Obumma that he would be worse than Jim Carter... Who better to have speak for this wicked piece of crepe Obumma than the worst president Evah!
Already the ADL {Abe Foxman} has protested this, but we all know that Foxman will get on board as soon as some sort of explanation is offered by the demon-rat party.
Carter at DNC sends wrong message to nervous Jewish Democrats
By Jennifer Rubin
It is almost as if President Obama is daring American Jews to vote against him. His acrimonious attitude toward the Jewish state, coupled with his refusal to articulate the obvious fact that Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state, was bad enough. But then former president Jimmy Carter, the personification of anti-Israel sentiment on the left, is invited to speak, albeit by video, at the Democratic National Convention. It is mind boggling that no one stopped this and that the president’s team, which is micromanaging the convention, does not after 3 ½ y ears “get it.”
Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition e-mailed me: “The fact that the DNC would offer a prime time speaking slot to Jimmy Carter highlights just how out of touch and tone deaf they are. Giving a platform to someone who has been openly hostile to Israel and equated the country to the South African apartheid regime is offensive. At a time when the Obama campaign is launching a charm offensive to the American Jewish community this message will resonate loud and clear with American Jews as to why it’s time for a change in 2012.”
The offense is so obvious that usually staunch Democrats are speaking out. The National Democratic Jewish Council (NJDC) issued a stern rebuke. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) did as well:
“He is flawed, he’s got an obsession with Israel, a biased obsession that borders on anti-Semitism,” said [the ADL’s Abe] Foxman. “So that’s not somebody I think should grace the podium of a national convention.”
Foxman added that Carter probably lobbied organizers for the speaking role, putting the DNC in an awkward position. “I don’t think he deserves to be there, except it’s hard to refuse a platform to a former living president especially when he asks for it,” said Foxman.
NJDC President and CEO David Harris also unloaded on Carter in an e-mailed statement.
“When it comes to Israel and the Middle East, President Carter has unfortunately embarrassed himself — as his analysis and commentary has been stubbornly wrong, harmful to the peace process, and getting worse all the time,” said Harris. “I’m confident that he won’t be speaking to the Party about Middle East policy.”
Harris added: “I’d like to know if Senator Rand Paul will be spreading his views of the Middle East and foreign aid in Tampa.”
The ADL previously devoted an entire section of its Web site to lambasting Carter’s anti-Israel and anti-Semitic screed, Palestine: Peace not Apartheid, which was roundly criticized by Republicans and Democrats alike.
