In anticipation of today's upcoming day of rage against Jimmy Carter, just remember...

[FlatBaroque]

One of these Presidents chooses not to belong to "the club"

[DetroitSocialist83]

1. Did I miss something?

What's going on with Jimmy?

[IdaBriggs]

3. He told the truth about Hillary, so now they hate him.

He is quoted as saying "when Secretary Clinton was Secretary of State, she took very little action to bring about peace."

You would think they would be PROUD of her for it - it's her legacy, right? And why they want her back.

Instead, they are now attacking Jimmy Carter. When I compare the difference in post presidential activities - Habitat for Humanity versus the money laundering Clinton Foundation -

5. K&R...We won't see any Camp David Accords under a Hillary Clinton presidency.

[asuhornets]

18. Please

show me the locations or posts where Hillary's supporters are attacking Pres. Jimmy Carter. Thank you in advance....

[Trenzalore]

22. Hillary Supporters are attacking Jimmy Carter is the meme of the day

Like most memes from that side it doesn't have any basis in reality.

[IdaBriggs]

35. Got one in under 30 seconds.

Quite prolific in the thread, too. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511697728#post19

Not going to look for more; one is more than enough.

32. I thought the Hillarians celebrated her war-mongering.

2. Why would anyone rage against Jimmy Carter?

[EndElectoral]

4. 4 of the 5 Presidents above from the Deep South. Damn.

[Fumesucker]

6. Neither Bush is from the deep South

New England patricians both of them, they might pretend to be from the South but they're not of the South.

[EndElectoral]

12. Texas politicians who use that southern drawl down in the south.

[Fumesucker]

17. Northern politicians who affect a Southern accent

Ring any bells?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

7. 4 Conservative-centrists and Jimmy.

[IamMab]

11. The Bushes are from Connecticut. nt

[EndElectoral]

13. They're elected officials from Texas. Don't care where they were born.

[IamMab]

15. Then by those rules, Sanders should stop referring to himself as "from NY", right?

Right?

[rurallib]

28. aren't all but Carter Ivy League grads?

[SusanCalvin]

8. Thank goodness!

Seeing just the headlines, I was afraid he had endorsed Hillary. Mr. President, I apologize for doubting you, even for a moment.

[peacebird]

9. The Hill has a report on Jimmy Carter's statements about Hillary as SecState. No effort for PEACE!

Former President Carter says Hillary Clinton “took very little action” as secretary of State to bring about peace.

Carter, 89, made the remark about the former secretary of State and 2016 Democratic front-runner in a phone interview with Time magazine Wednesday night after he spoke at the Civil Rights Summit in Austin, Texas.

John Kerry has been successful as secretary of State, Carter said, because President Obama has been deeply involved in the foreign policy issues of his second term.

“In this occasion, when Secretary Clinton was Secretary of State, she took very little action to bring about peace. It was only John Kerry’s coming into office that reinitiated all these very important and crucial issues,” he said.

Kerry’s efforts in the Middle East are “notable,” said Carter, who added he has “great admiration” for him.

23. Carter is 91, not 89

[peacebird]

24. Guess the copy editors at The Hill missed that

[NWCorona]

10. I'm waiting for someone to try and throw Carter under the bus

This man is a true statesman!

[DetroitSocialist83]

14. Wow

Not surprising, but I've seen no discussion of it in the media.

[beedle]

16. Really

the only fucking thing they are talking about is Bill and his attack on BLM.

And of course they are all aghast that Bernie would attack Bill on a bill Sanders voted for (without of course mentioning the context.)

They are also careful not to put Bill's words into the context the were spewed in, nor would they even mention the words at all.

And of course, no mention of Carter at all.

[oldandhappy]

19. This photo has always troubled me

because I saw it as them leaving him out. You have put a different perspective on it and I thank you. I like the idea that he chooses to not belong in the club. Thank you.

[FlatBaroque]

21. I took the same path as you.

Based on his post presidency actions I believe he does not want any part of the club, and the fact that he speaks truth about Israel seals that deal.

[haikugal]

29. Agreed...he walks the walk. nt

[Trenzalore]

20. I'm a Hillary supporter

Jimmy Carter is entitled to his opinion. Jimmy Carter has done a lot of good in the world and I'm glad he is still engaged.

Go back to your narrative that people are hating on Jimmy Carter.

[SusanCalvin]

25. I hope they're not. I don't know that they are.

I'm just relieved he didn't endorse Hillary.

[BillZBubb]

26. There is no way he'd endorse her in a primary. I doubt he respects her.

He will endorse her if she's the nominee and she thinks it could help her. He'd do it for the party.

[SusanCalvin]

27. I didn't think so, but the headlines scared me. nt

[craigmatic]

30. No love lost between Carter and the Clintons. I'll always side with Jimmy over Bill.

[NewImproved Deal]

31. A good man. Sad to see the Neo-Liberals steal the Democratic Party...

33. Well, here's the positive side -

Bernie can do that. Sending him more money right now.

[Sheepshank]

34. I must have missed all those threads throwing Carter under the bus

Can you direct me to them.


I did however see several nasty comments about Elijah Cummings after his announced endorsement
