Jimmy Carter; the Damascus candidate

As is usually the case, the first I heard of Jimmy Carter’s impending visit to Hamas’ Khaled Meshal was from Little Green Footballs in Charles’ post entitled Jimmy Carter hits bottom, digs;

America’s worst president will now apparently meet with the leader of an openly genocidal Islamic terrorist gang: Report: Jimmy Carter to Meet With Hamas Leader in Syria.

NEW YORK CITY — Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.

Well, I’m not surprised – he’s stroked-off every other blood soaked thug in the world. Samantha Sault rounds up bloggers’ opinions at The Weekly Standard Blogs;

Carter may claim he is working for peace, but bloggers aren’t at all convinced. Allahpundit reminds us of Carter’s view of Israel, so it’s no surprise that he’d consider a friendly little fête with Hamas. Michael van der Galien agrees: “First Carter accuses Israel of being an Apartheid state, then he goes to meet with the leader of an organization [whose] sole purpose is to destroy Israel and to kill all Jews.” And at the American Thinker, Rick Moran adds, “Hamas’s latest peace offering was to send a gunman to a Jewish seminary and slaughter 9 innocent people. I’m sure Meshal and Carter will have a lot to talk about considering the former President’s previous statements about Israel being the biggest obstacle to peace in the Middle East are perfectly in line with Meshal’s own fantasies.”

Who’s next? After all, as the Gateway Pundit says, “There’s never been a violent dangerous dictator that Jimmy Carter did not have friendly relationships with or prop up in some way, so it should come as no surprise that he is going to meet with the leader of the violent terrorist group Hamas.”

Me? Everything that needs to be said about Jimmy Carter, I’ve said before and it’s earned Jimmy Carter his own category on this blog – knock yourselves out and see if what I’ve written before applies equally well this time.

I’ll just add that I hope TSA checks his bulky overcoat real well when he comes back through US security.
