#3  Worse than that, Bobby - IIRC, Maddox relented in his later years (don't know if he really changed his mind, or just saw the handwriting on the wall).

So Maddox was more mature - and in the end less bigoted - than Cahtuh. Having lived through those times, I can say that's truly pathetic.

#2  I lived in Atlanta when Carter was Governor. Remember Lester Maddox, the pickaxe-handle-swinging restaraunt owner who didn't want to seat blacks in his place?

Maddox accused Carter of using the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to spy on him. Carter carried on an argument with Lester for a long time, in the press. I lost a lot of respect for him then. Except now he doesn't argue with crackpots - he agrees with them!

#1  Hamas isn't even trying to say that they will moderate. They are saying that since the last pullout by Israel, their system obviously works and now they are going to pour it on. I don't know where Carter gets this "moderation" stuff from.
