Jimmy Carter: Traitor and Plagiarist
There is only one word for this: Karma.
“It appears that at least two maps that came out of the Carter book were or are very closely similar, or unusually similar, to maps that were produced and published in Dennis Ross’ book ‘The Missing Peace,’ ” [Kenneth] Stein said. (GP. Ed. Note – Stein resigned earlier this week from the Carter Center over the ex-President’s new book.)
That book, published in 2004, is also about the search for peace in the Middle East. “This could be incredibly coincidental, or it could not,” Stein said. “But it goes to the way history books should be written, and the way citations should be made when material is borrowed.”
The maps in question appear on Page 148 of Carter’s book, detailing the differing Israeli and Palestinian interpretations of President Clinton’s peace proposal made in 2000.
Ambassador Dennis Ross has weighed in on the allegation now.
Former President Jimmy Carter faced new criticism Friday over his controversial book on Palestinian lands when a former Middle East diplomat accused him of improperly publishing maps that did not belong to him.
The new charge came as Carter attempted to counter charges from a former top aide that the book manipulates facts to distort history.
Ambassador Dennis Ross, a former Mideast envoy and FOX News foreign affairs analyst, claims maps commissioned and published by him were improperly republished in Carter’s book.
“I think there should be a correction and an attribution,” Ross said. “These were maps that never existed, I created them.”
After Ross saw the maps in Carter’s book, he told his publisher he wanted a correction.
When asked if the former president ripped him off, Ross replied: “it sure looks that way.”
The question now is… will this plagiarism scandal actually improve the chances of Senate Plagarist Joe Biden in his run for the White House? Biden has no where to go but up after all.

If he liked America (much less LOVED this nation), maybe I wouldn’t be so harsh.

A traitor eh?
For standing up for what has be the avowed policy of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA for the past two generations? For standing up for the roadmap to peace championed by, amongst others, the BUSH ADMINISTRATION? For trying to find ways to bring the Israelis and Palestinians together in peace, rather than facilitating the goals of those who wish to confiscate Palestinian land for growing settlements – a policy in direct contradiction of American policy, international law, and basic morality?
You clearly have an utterly distorted and absurd view on this matter.

Poor Dhimmi Carter. The victim of irate CSPAN viewers, ambassadors and killer bunny rabbits.

Unless you know that Carter personally copied the maps and had them inserted into the book, it is slander to call him a plagiarist. Authors often have little control over the illustrations in their books, the same way they rarely have a say over whats going on the cover. Carter probably said: “Lets put in maps” to the publisher, and the publisher procured the maps. Now whoever did the procuring would be a plagiarist, but technically Carter wouldn’t be.
But of course consideration of that possible turn of events doesn’t fit the goal of the author of the blog post, which is to smear a Democrat President, rather than present and give an opinion on facts or actual events. If it had been President Bush who had written the book, he would be busy finding excuses for him, not rhetorically burning him at the stake before all the evidence is in.

#1 and 4. Freud would have a field day with all this attention being given to Carter as the “Worst President Ever”–and we have to see how someone else does as “Ex-President.”

Stein’s resignation was about more than just two uncited maps in Carter’s book. Here is his explanation:

“Palestine – Peace, Not Apartheid”
Carter is reported as saying, on the Book-TV interview, that the title was designed to sell the book.
The Nobel Prize winner gives credence to the apartheind agument as a marketing gimmick.

I should also say that I have just read comments made in October, 2006, questioning legitimacy of using such a title. It is not as if this was a last minute marketing excercise. Jimmy Carter: Traitor and Plagaristhttp:/

And now, Jimmy Carter is lashing out at Canada for refusing to fund genocidal Jew-hating terrorists.
What a piece of work. No wonder liberals love him so much.

My take on Jimmy Carter is that moral values are not a necessary component for the presidency. Quite a few people (including some on this sight) have praised President Bush’s “moral values” as if that somehow is a plus. Well look at Carter: impeccable morals, shitty president. We need a president who has the ‘nads to take on the terrorists of this world (& yes, I have President Bush’s recent backsliding in mind).

Let see.
The Taliban still operate in Afganistan
The budget is busted
The congress is about to be led by Dems
Iraq is spinning out of control
Yet we are reading about Jimmy Carter’s use of maps in a book while ignoring his message.
Hmmm….

This book offers (Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism” (Doubleday) by Peter Schweizer)
damning evidence that Jimmy Carter, as both president and citizen, may have committed treason by enlisting the help of the Soviet Union in the 1980 and 1984 presidential elections.
Schweizer combed through once-secret KGB and Communist Party files. What he discovered about Jimmy Carter is very disturbing.
Documents show, according to Schweizer, that in the closing days of the 1980 campaign, the Carter “White House dispatched Armand Hammer to the Soviet Embassy for a secret meeting with Ambassador Dobrynin.”
Hammer told Dobrynin that Carter was “clearly alarmed at the way things stood in the election campaign.”
Hammer asked for Soviet help, especially to help Jewish emigration, which would have helped Carter’s standing in key electoral states. Hammer promised, “Carter won’t forget that service if he is re-elected.”
“Peacemaker” Carter was a boon to the Soviets. During his presidency, the Evil Empire reached its zenith, making bold moves in Ethiopia, Yemen, El Salvador, Grenada, Nicaragua and Afghanistan.
Carter once again sought the Soviets’ help in 1984.
Carter was out of office then, but he still felt the need to visit Ambassador Dobrynin at his Washington home.
According to the Soviet document, Carter came to complain about Reagan and his defense buildup.
Carter told Dobrynin that if the Soviets didn’t do something about Reagan, “there would not be a single agreement on arms control, especially on nuclear arms, as long as Reagan remained in power.”
Carter’s intention was clear. He wanted the Russians to intervene in some way to help get a Democrat back into the White House.
He is propalestine, he sold the Panama Canal…….etc……well…
and he continuous to put down the USA

You people ar too quick to blame. Carter has a perfectly legitimate alibi. While his eyes were clouded, from sobbing over the plight of the Palestinians, the Israeli Mossad snuck in those maps!

Bruce, not only is JimmineyCricketCarter all that… but it runs in his family, he can’t help it.
Remember #1 brother Billy? Of BillyBeer fame? Recall that he took $500,000 from Libya agents to promote Libya’s interests in the WH… then denied it to DOJ lawyers… then made a slew of racist and anti-Semitic remarks to the press?
But then, even the worst of Billy Carter couldn’t make the crooks in JimmineyCricket’s Cabinet look good. And Democrats talk about the Culture of Corruption with a str8 face?
Hello, paging Gryph and GOB and the lower-case-clan of keogh, monty, sean and jimmy boi.

Jimmy Carter, maybe the worst President in history. I lived it.
Every time Pres Carter appears on TV to expound on someone elses Presidential decisions I think a continuous fact crawl should be required at the bottom of the screen. Start with the “misery index” the combination of his unemployment rate, interest rates, and inflation.
7%, 18%, 5%. Yep a misery rate of almost 30%. Was devastating to the country and he told us the country had to get used to not being great anymore. Ronald “Magnus” saved us. Now he thinks most people under 50 don’t remember his actual performance as President. And the God forsaken MSM won’t remind anyone.

Gene, my son is studying (in part) about Prez Kennedy in his 4th grade social studies class right now. You’d think the man was a saint. And the teacher was born when RR was president… so, it’s ancient history to them.
That’s why it’s important to watch closely what your kids learn and help them balance out the spin.
Just last week, we had commenters here opining about Obama bringing back Camelot. Gheez.

[...] Well, maybe not end . . . but require the same regulation on bloggers that are required of newspaper publishers and internet service providers. Under those regulations — should they become law — if some blogger stated that Jimmy Carter was a traitor and a plagarist, he would be just as responsible for those comments in every legal arena as someone — say, from the National Enquirer.
