#1 "President Carter said he wrote the book because he wanted to encourage more debate; then why won't he debate?" Dershowitz said.

Well, it looks your first mistake, Al, was assumming that he actually meant it.

#2 LOL. IIRC, the other day Carter was quoted saying he was sad that he couldn't get a speaking gig on any campus with a large jewish student population or some such. Anyone else recall that or do I hate Carter so much my mind is playing ticks on me?

#3 Coward. Bring your lies to any forum that isn't packed with paleo flag-wavers, and you'll get your clock cleaned.

#4 Carter, president from 1977-1981

Hey, don't remind us. Yeah, we did it, but by the time we came to our senses, it was too late.

#8 But Carter said: "Apartheid is the forced separation of two peoples in the same area and the forced subjugation of one to the other. No one can argue that that is not the situation in the Palestinian territories right now."

Um, is it just me, or haven't the Joooos already left a lot of the "Palestinian territories, so now they're turning on each other? Oh, I guess red on red violence is still "apartheid" laid at the feet of the Jooos. Jeebus, I'm so ashmaed this pr!ck is from my Home State.

#9 For the left, a genuine debate means a discussion between

1. a white male leftist
2. a white female leftist
3. a black leftist
4. a hispanic leftist
5 a disable leftist
6. a G/L/T leftist

now that's diversity

#11 ...and an update from the Great and Powerful Oz himself

BOSTON - Former President Carter turned down a request to debate Alan Dershowitz about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying the outspoken Harvard law professor "knows nothing about the situation."

Carter, author of a new book advocating "peace not apartheid" in the region, said he will not visit Brandeis University to discuss the book because the university requested he debate Dershowitz.

"I don't want to have a conversation even indirectly with Dershowitz," Carter said in Friday's Boston Globe. "There is no need ... to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine."

The school's debate request, Carter said, is proof that many in the United States are unwilling to hear an alternative view on the nation's most taboo foreign policy issue, Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory.

Carter brokered the 1978 Camp David peace accord between Israel and Egypt and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He said the goal of his book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," is to provoke dialogue and action.

"There is no debate in America about anything that would be critical of Israel," he said.

The reference to "apartheid," the word for South Africa's former system of state-sanctioned racial segregation, has angered some rabbis because it appears to equate that system with the treatment of Palestinians.

"President Carter said he wrote the book because he wanted to encourage more debate; then why won't he debate?" said Dershowitz, a vocal First Amendment advocate who has worked for O.J. Simpson and other high-profile clients.

Brandeis was founded in 1948 as a nonsectarian university under the sponsorship of the American Jewish community. Carter said he initially was interested in going there.

"I thought it would be a good idea to go to a campus that had a lot of Jewish students and get a lot questions," he said. But then the initial proposal evolved into a plan for a debate.

He's an even bigger pussy then I thought. And I thought he was a real big one...

#12 I wonder how the guys on the USS Jimmy Carter feel.

They were stupid to start naming vessels after living people.

#13 Carter has his head so far up his old ass it. stopped being funny a long time ago. Alan Dershowitz is a liberal, Carter can't even debate a fellow leftender. Carter is wrong and he knows it. Some of the stuff in this book has been called outright lies. Carter you fail it.

The truth is the Paleos can't be dealt with in a normal way, like many Arabs they just can be held to their word or expected to abide by agreements they have made. The shit hole they live in is of their own making.

I must strongly object to that characterization of Jimmuh.

There's nothing human about him.

(And she shouldn't insult scum that way, either.)
