		<description>&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Isn&#039;t the truth that Carter doesn&#039;t want to endorse Obama because it could hurt Obama?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Could be. Columnist Bob Herbert of the Slimes claims that Rev. Wright is failing to exercise such discretion:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;For Senator Obama, the re-emergence of Rev. Wright has been devastating. The senator has been trying desperately to bolster his standing with skeptical and even hostile white working-class voters. When the story line of the campaign shifts almost entirely to the race-in-your-face antics of someone like Mr. Wright, Mr. Obama’s chances can only suffer.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/29/opinion/29herbert.html?hp&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But &quot;race-in-your-face&quot; is a flagrant false-flag issue here, as Uncle Tom Herbert knows damned well. What&#039;s really unpalatable is Wright&#039;s brisk dismantling of our narcissitic 9/11 myth. From Bloomberg:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;------------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Asked whether he still believed the U.S. government shares the blame for the Sept. 11 attacks, Wright responded:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;You can&#039;t do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://tinyurl.com/3kcnbb&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;------------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a fundamental point; probably the ONLY thing that matters for the survival of 21st century America. Obama knows in his heart that it&#039;s true: the attackers did not &quot;hate our freedom&quot; -- they resented decades of U.S./Israeli state terror. But since the entire zeitgeist of the U.S. is based on global domination, and the delusion of immunity from retaliation, Obama has to cast his lot with the interventionist conventional wisdom to remain &quot;viable within the system.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obama&#039;s pastor has exposed him as a moral sellout. It&#039;s unfair, because Obama&#039;s opponents are even bigger sellouts. But in such an undistinguished field, it&#039;s no great tragedy, one way or the other. Let the least evil schmuck win!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;i&#039;m hoping that ex u.s  president Jimmy Carter turns over the table of the money changers, and rails at the self righteous pharisees, for the cause of the palestinians who have been dispossesed of their land and are being treated like animals in a zoo. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The propaganda campaign that makes the palestinians look like the raving mad, frothing at the mouth rabid animals, from whom humanity must protect themselves is a world class lie that needs to be denuded of the blanket of lies that have been maliciously written about them for years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
raise it up a notch mr president humanity is on your side.&lt;br /&gt;
the truth will absolve you from your zionist accusers and their american slave apologist.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What would Hillary do with a Jimmy Carter endorsement of Obama? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Easy Hillary news bite, &quot;The USA will strongly support forever the right of our staunch ally Israel to exist (omit &quot;as a Jewish state&quot;). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This clip followed by talking heads quickly glossing over any&lt;br /&gt;
mention of Israel&#039;s nukes, no mention of the nakba, or Uncle Sam&#039;s annual free pork, and lots of use of the word &quot;terrorist&quot; and HAMAS in every other breath. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What would that do to Jewish support for Obama?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obama gets on for a sound bite next. Be interesting to see how&lt;br /&gt;
he skirts the apartheid model. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rev Wright grabs the limelight next, again suggesting Obama knows the truth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Those Americans most likely to furnish cannon fodder vote against their own best long term interest.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;small but not insignificant repeat: &quot;when the incorrect term &#039;antisemitic&#039; is used, what is meant: truth has been spoken.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;truth should never waste our time when isRAel is our subject. lie, lie, lie and accept the lies. jews(those jews) will be happy and &#039;secure&#039;.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Carter is directly responsible for bribing Egypt at 2 billion a year (with American tax dollars when Jews are less than 3% of the total American population) to make nice with Israel. And you call him a peanut? (And for paving the way for Jordan&#039;s peace with Israel).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;G-D forbid, Jimmy Carter should take his Christian morality seriously. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What exactly then, is the lately proclaimed &quot;Judeo-Christian&quot; ethic?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m just asking. Just as most American Jews would never move to Israel, I would never move to an Arab state. &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m going to take you at your word that you volunteered for Vietnam, &lt;br /&gt;
( which I have a lot of respect for ) However, Jimmy Carter sat out WW2. That I don&#039;t have respect for. Not to mention his amazing affinity for the happy go lucky lads from Hamas.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You may simply be reading too much into it and Carter merely wants what&#039;s best for the Democratic Party&#039;s victory chances in November.  He was interviewed in The Progressive and said:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;I&#039;ll be glad when we have our choice made.  We have two outstanding candidates, and they are very close in the number of delegates they have and in the number of votes they&#039;ve had.  I am a superdelegate, and I&#039;ve refrained from expressing a preference between the two.&lt;br /&gt;
But I&#039;ll be going to the convention in Denver, and I will be trying to make sure that the candidate we choose is not only the best person to be the President but will also be the kind of person who can hold our country together.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
