If you have nothing other than name-calling to offer, I certainly won’t tax you with a rebuttal.

Clinton didn’t commit perjury?

What court says he did?

LOL Quaker,
Clinton didn’t commit perjury? Dream on. Your opinion about Carter and Palestinians is almost as far out as your Clinton apologista riff. I realize Quakers traditionally are pacifists and have little historical experience with war and the defense of a nation. But even so I would think you might understand the big picture. I mentioned Palestinian terrorists who launch rockets and infiltrate the nation of Israel to blow themselves up etc. and you think I confuse them with the tamer flavor of Palestinian, ironically a term that meant for thousands of years a jew from their native homeland Palestine. Carter is a senile asshole who accepts big money from the Saudis and rants against the Israelis. the nation was a better cleaner place after the Coward of Chappquidick expired recently, we can look forward to a similar uplifting when the Old Peanut Farmer shuffles off this mortal coil and starts annoying the dwellers of the celestial beyond.

I’m talking about Carter’s lack of evenhanded treatment of Palestinian terrorism vs. Israel’s right to self defense after enduring rocket attacks and terrorist infiltration.

Palestinian terrorism? I think you’re confusing Paletsinian terrorists with Palestinian civilians and faulting Mr. Carter for not adopting your bias.

that does not change the fact that those events happened

No, they didn’t. Every last one is a choice example of right-wing agitprop. And every last one is dead wrong.

Clinton was a perjuror,

That’s your judgment, not the court’s.

No Quaker,
I’m not confusing anti semitism with non kneejerk support of each movewment of the Israeli government. I’m talking about Carter’s lack of evenhanded treatment of Palestinian terrorism vs. Israel’s right to self defense after enduring rocket attacks and terrorist infiltration. Remember what they said about Nixon? Follow the money. Who writes the big checks for Carter’s operation?

And Quaker, What was the underlying foundation which contempt of court rested upon? Clinton was a perjuror, Clinton was impeached, Clinton was disbarred. A man with honor would have resigned, Clinton’s never been accused of being an honorable man. Still our second black president makes our first black president look pretty good in comparison.

That’s why I asked. Conservatives conflate lack of support for the policies of the Likud party and anti-semitism.

Which is, of course, nonsense.

Gee, sorta like liberals conflate lack of support for the current policies of the Democratic party and racism, Parthy.

Which is, of course, nonsense.

specifically for committing perjury.

Nope. Contempt of court.

Quaker, it was Contempt of Court, for committing perjury (not testifing truthfully)in the Paula Jones Case, after he was warned to be a good boy and stop lying. Contempt of Court is an easier deal to prove, so bam, Court punishes him and thats it.

Quaker, Not wrong on any count. Some aspects provable in a criminal court of law, probably not, but that does not change the fact that those events happened, and Jamie Gorelick then got here “retirement” with huge bonuses from Fannie Mae, She truly is the master of disaster.

Dennis linking to NRO. There’s an air-tight argument for something.

Should a president be above the law simply because of the job he hold

Should a president be above the law simply because of the job he hold

Absolutely not, which is why the entire Bush II administration, from W and Cheney on down, should be prosecuted for war crimes, and obstruction of justice immediately.

There is a difference, you know.

No, I’m afraid he doesn’t, poor dear.

AO, you seem to be confusing “antisemetic” with “does not offer kneejerk support for every decision of the Israeli government”.

That’s why I asked. Conservatives conflate lack of support for the policies of the Likud party and anti-semitism.

Which is, of course, nonsense.

Antisemetic? Jimmy Carter? LOL look who funds his center for international meddling. While there may be reason to debate whether or not Jimmy was the worst US president he has the title for worst FORMER president all sewed up.

Uh Wilber,
He lost his license to practice law (think of all the slimey lawyers who manage to hang on theirs) specifically for committing perjury. Your rationalization about official capacity is kind of cute. Should a president be above the law simply because of the job he holds, like a king? Still, he looks good compared to Carter.

Carter helped broker the treaty between Egypt and Israel. If he was anti-Semitic, you’d think he wouldn’t have bothered.

Is that somehow worse than Jimmy Carter scolding us on race or something, Quaker?

Yes.
