I can't believe that someone wrote a book demeaning Jimmy Carter.

[coloradodem2005]

I was in Barnes and Noble earlier and there was a book called "The Real Jimmy Carter." Calling him the worst Ex-PResident. They said he coddled foreign dictators, meddled in the first gulf war and used the second gulf war as an "excuse" to question the christian values of our current so-called commander-in-chief. Also that he became responsible for making the Dems the leftist party that gave us Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

Please. I didn't read the book, but it looks like just a bunch of name-calling, finger pointing, and broad sweeping statements to demean someon who does not agree with your ideology. Republicans: Give it up.

5. Better to know what we're up against

I saw the book, too, and had pretty much the same reaction. Clearly, however, this is an expression of something that most of the reactionary right just doesn't say out loud -- or at least not while we're in the room.

Because if this book was as repugnant to, say, George Will, or Pat Buchanan, or Tucker Carlson, or Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh, or any of the other reactionary talking heads that dominate the airwaves, as it is to us, they'd denounce the book. But they don't. They don't have to go through it point by point (though that would be welcome), but the fact of the matter is that a book like this, just like the demented screeds of Ann Coulter, are what these reactionary thugs believe deep in their hearts.

The exposure of this cancer, distasteful as it is, should remind us what's on "the other side" and strengthen our resolve for an America that's freer, fairer, more giving, and more just. Because the world envisioned by these nutbags thrives on injustice.

10. It is not repugnant to any of those you list

is my guess. I worked with a right wing wacko. One day at lunch she said: "I hate Carter. I HATE HIM. HATE HIM HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!"

Many in the GOP see this as their revolution and when you let yourself think that it is a revolution you can believe all sorts of things about the "opposition". They hated FDR as much. They are irrational and brainwashed. (She hated him, she yelled, because he was "responsible" for the hostage taking in Iran. He knew it was going to happen and he did not stop it because he wanted them taken hostage.)

Mind you she is an attorney so she theoretically has the brain power to know the difference between fact and ficton.

She was later fired for coming unhinged about a work issue. Ideologues can be like that.

6. I saw that POS, too.....

these guys must be running out of things to say about the Clintons, what's next, "The Real Tip O'Neill" or "The Real Hubert Humphrey".....

7. Conservatives were out of power for 40 years.

Reagan came along and they went to war. Yes! They had plenty of gripes. Legitimate. Jim Wright as Speak of the House treated them as Delay treats Democrats now.

Newt went to war with 73 new Barbarians in the House in 1995.

The Barbarians want to destroy all Social Programs.All.

The end result justifies the means. Victory is only goal. They are not interested in the welfare of the majority of americans.

Money talks.Money is Power. So, they are after the rich.

They have no Honor. They are dishonest.

They are the party of the Anti-Christ.

The record is in view for studies.

Liberals work hard for the middle class and poor or the overwhelming majority of the people.

Yes! Liberals lie. Distort.They are the party with the proper goals for the masses.

They are responsible for most of the good things which have helped the people.

9. I wonder how many copies have been sold to actual individual(s), that

would read such garbage. I know there are many Freeps that are told too have those very thoughts and frequently type them out in Freep World. However, I find it hard to imagine the morans plunking their precious tax-refund down to buy this doorstop.
No doubt, AEI or Scabies/Scaifie will buy in bulk for their muddled masses.

11. Carter does deserve some critism for his human rights record

Is it better than alot of presidents? Of course. But is it anywhere near as good as his proponents would like you to think it is? No.

It's just immature to believe in this shiny happy people image that people here do.

That he wins many favorite living presidents polls here is laughable.

It's like hes the dems Reagan with people here. Childish.
