Carter says he was targeted for assassination
I saw the title of this article in the Washington Examiner and thought they were going to offer some kind of evidence that Jimmy Carter had been the target of assassination since he left the White House, but apparently the only source for the story is the peanut magnate himself;
“I have had two or three threats to my life after I came home from the White House,” Carter said in the highly-anticipated book due out October 22. “When I go on an overseas trip almost invariably, I get a report from the Secret Service that where I’m going is very dangerous,” he added in the book provided in advance to Secrets.
Carter also told Sabato: “Sometimes they [Secret Service] ask me not to go, and I go anyway. They and I both just laugh about it. So I have been more concerned about my safety in doing the Carter Center’s business overseas than I ever was in the White House.”
So, was it two or was it three threats? Whenever I hear someone say “two or three” somethings happened, I know it’s a complete lie, because who can forget whether something happened two times or three times. No one wants to kill him, we learned he was a buffoon the day after he was inaugurated when he gave amnesty to the Vietnam draft dodgers. We knew we just had to be patient and he’d get replaced. The only people who hated him enough to kill him were the Iranians because he wouldn’t turn over the Shah to them.
He tried to make the US weaker long before it was Obama’s plan, but after he left office he was no real threat, well, except to common sense. But at least, back then Americans were smart enough to only give him one term in office.
I figure he’s making up these death threats…either that or the Secret Service just tells him that to make him feel like he’s still got some worth.

Bless his heart.
I think the Wash Ex was talking about Ralph Carter from Cleveland.
No..no..no OldSarge
They were talking about Gabe Kaplan aka Mr Kotter
I’m sure one of those assassination attempts was rabbit incident…
I give Carter the benefit of the doubt on this one. He was a POTUS, and there were and are plenty of people who seek immortality in the history books by being assasins.
Besides, the Prognazis need another death to push for gun control and suppressing the TEA Party.
“When I go on an overseas trip almost invariably, I get a report from the Secret Service that where I’m going is very dangerous,”
Sounds like being in the US military, oh wait…..

Almost makes you wonder about Freddie “Boom Boom” Washington… but that would be racist.
(Sigh) Not getting enough attention, are you, Mistah Cahtah?
Well, if the Secret Servies tell you some place is dangerous, you should probably stay out of there. After all, you’re older than I am, and if you fell down, you might not be able to get up.
Maybe Billy threatened him when he would not fetch him another beer……..
During WW II British Intelligence cooked up several plans to kill Hitler. They called them off because they were afraid that if the succeeded in capping him his replacement might actually be able to run a war. They figured that Hitler’s interference in the conduct of the war was worth more than ten divisions to the allies. In short, he was his own worst enemy! Perhaps there were plots against Carter,but they were called off because he would do more damage to the US than to them if he were alive. He was gutting the military, our nation was seen as weak and not to feared. Why risk putting a real leader in charge.
Thanks to B. Hussein 0bama, Jimmeh Kahtuh is the SECOND most incompetent President in US History, and I’m sure that after he’s out of office, he’ll make Kahtuh look like the second looniest ex-POTUS in US History!
It’s the Russians, they’re still pissed about the Olympic boycott.
Reminds me of this classic.

Let’s try this one instead.

I am 71 years old and can recall every threat against my life, by whom and how I responded. Carter is just trying to sell a book and as usual, is full of fecal matter.
Who?
Sounds like the “landing under sniper fire” hullabaloo stated by Hillary when she was running for a third term…oops, freudian slip.
Invariably, because he is a US citizen “technically” anyway, many countries will be dangerous for him just because of that fact. So saying “oh its dangerous” is the same thing he could read off the State department website about travel to other countries.
So in liberal / MSM speak, technically he isn’t lying because he’s in danger in most countries just because he’s a US citizen, technically. In actuality with SS protecting him I doubt anyone would bother trying. Not to mention, he does “nice” things for other countries, though he did terrible things to his own, so ironic.
Its like deja vu all over again.
Carter also told Sabato: “Sometimes they [Secret Service] ask me not to go, and I go anyway.”
I wonder if it ever occurred to the selfish prick that, by doing this, he is not just endangering his own life, but the lives of his detail agents as well?
Nice contrast between this sort of self-absorbed behavior, and the selflessness shown by President Bush the Senior highlighted in the post below.
It’s been almost 40 years. Was he feeling left out and felt the need to talk about this? I’d be more surprised if there wasn’t a plot against a US president.
Carter made the US weaker through incompetence.
Obama is doing it deliberately.
It was those damn aliens, they told him to keep his mouth
shut.
Wow, I didn’t know selling peanut futures was such a difficult business.
I could never understand why my father had such a visceral dislike for Harry Truman until Jimmy Carter took office. He and I both went on ‘active duty’ the same day – Idelayed my reenlistment until after Reagan won the election… Jimmy C and I were NOT going to go on together. As a friend of mine so quietly put it “I’m gonna stand on street corners and give nickel headers till I get my self respect back.”
The old bugger needs to get a hobby and stop getting under foot.
@1 That was our southern, backhanded way of saying, you’re full of shit but I don’t want to say it so, “Bless your heart”. The biggest threat to peanut pickin’ ,bucktoothed Carter’s life has got to be Rosalynn.
See, that Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail was serious after all…
