Jimmuh’s Joooohatin’ Junket rolls on ~ Carter Lays A Wreath at Arafat’s Tomb




Jimmy Carter lays a wreath at late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s grave in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Tuesday, April 15, 2008.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter laid a wreath of red roses at the grave of Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat during a visit to the West Bank City of Ramallah on Tuesday.

“He and Mrs. Carter and his son Jeff wanted to pay their respects to President Arafat,” Carter’s trip director Rick Jasculca told Cybercast News Service. But the former president didn’t make any comments there, he said.

Dubbed the “godfather of terrorism,” Arafat was linked to the deaths of two American diplomats in the Sudan in 1973 — one of many terror acts laid at his feet.
On Tuesday, the Israeli government refused Carter’s request to visit Hamas-controlled Gaza. The former U.S. leader has angered the Israeli government over plans to meet Hamas’s top leader, Khaled Mashaal, in Syria on Friday.
Most visiting American dignitaries — including President Bush — have avoided Arafat’s tomb. Michaela Schweitzer-Bluhm, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem that handles Palestinian affairs, told Cybercast News Service that no active U.S. Executive Branch member had ever laid a wreath on Arafat’s grave.
Carter first met Arafat in 1990, when Arafat was leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization. According to a New York Times report, Carter praised Arafat as a peacemaker.
Years later, Carter led an international team in observing the first Palestinian Authority elections that gave Arafat the presidency. (Carter also observed the 2006 elections that brought Hamas an overwhelming parliamentary majority.)
Arafat was the most frequent visitor to President Bill Clinton’s White House. President Bush also dealt with Arafat at the beginning of his presidency, but after the Palestinian leader lied to Bush in early 2002 about a huge shipment of Iranian weapons bound for the P.A., he was shunned until his death in November 2004.

On Tuesday, Carter also had lunch with a dozen or so Palestinian civil society leaders and had what was described as a “wonderful round table” discussion with Palestinian youths that he and his wife enjoyed immensely, said Jasculca.

Revoke his passport NOW ! The guy is SICK!! This is disgusting. Actions speak louder than words … if no one has the balls to pull his passport, then they ought to at least pull his Secret Service detail, paid for by the taxpayers, when this traitor is engaged in activities clearly against America’s interests and in support of terrorists.

I called the Carter Center, I asked the girl why on earth would Carter do this., put a wreath at Arafat’s Tomb.
She said she knew nothing about it.
I told her no you work at the Carter Center, you work FOR Jimmy Carter and you have to give me a reason for this disgusting thing Jimmy Carter has done.
She said, I don’t see that is a bad thing.
I told her Carter is a traitor to America, a disgusting human being and should not be allowed back into the United States of America.
She hung up on me.

Hamas Cleric Yunis Al-Astal Predicts ‘Rome Will Be Conquered by Islam’



Hamas Cleric Predicts ‘Rome Will Be Conquered by Islam’
Fox News

To view this clip, visit: http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/1739.htm
A sermon last Friday by a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament openly declared that “the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital,” would soon be conquered by Islam.
The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become “an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe.”

“Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion,” al-Astal preached, “so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da’wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.

“Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad,” he added.

Al-Astal last June preached how it was the duty of Palestinian women to martyr themselves by becoming homicide bombers.

“The most exalted form of jihad is fighting for the sake of Allah, which means sacrificing one’s soul by fighting the enemies head-on, even if it leads to martyrdom,” he said in a June 23, 2007 interview.

“When jihad becomes an individual duty, it applies to women too, because women do not differ from men when it comes to individual duties,” he said, calling Jews “the brothers of apes and pigs” who should “taste the bitterness of death.”

Friday’s rant repeated that theme:

“Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam.

“I believe that our children, or our grandchildren, will inherit our jihad and our sacrifices, and, Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them.

“Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls – and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our Prophets, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire at whose brink they stand.”


Wild Thing’s comment……..
Did Carter wear a burkha when he met with them?
“Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad,” he added.
Yunis al-Astal is simply citing one of Muhammad’s prophecies of the Signs of Qiyamah (Sings of the Last Days) from the Hadith, which every faithful Muslim believes.

Nafi’ ibn ‘Utbah said, “The Prophet said, ‘You will attack Arabia, and Allah will enable you to conquer it. Then you will attack Persia, and Allah will enable you to conquer it. Then you will attack Rome, and Allah will enable you to conquer it. Then you will attack the Dajjal, and Allah will enable you to conquer him.’ ”
(Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Number 6930)

He is just saying these are the End Times, therefore their jihad is guaranteed success in conquering the world and killing or converting every infidel.
In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Yunis Al-Astal, Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Rome, “the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital,” would soon be conquered by Islam, just as Constantinople was. It then, he said, would become “an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.”

Obama Corrects ‘Obama bin Laden’ Slip ~ LOL

Obama Corrects ‘Obama bin Laden’ Slip
abc news
Sen. Barack Obama quickly corrected a slipup about his name Monday at the Associated Press’ annual luncheon in Washington, DC.
Dean Singleton, board chair of the Associated Press and a longtime newspaper executive, asked Obama about the possibility of shifting troops into Afghanistan to fight against the al Qaeda leader.
“Can you imagine shifting a substantial number of Afghanistan — a substantial number to Afghanistan where the Taliban has been gaining strength and Obama Bin Laden is still at large?” Singleton asked
Obama, clearly a bit agitated, quickly interrupted him, “I think that was Osama bin Laden,” the Democratic candidate said, and then took a big gulp of water from the glass next to the podium.
Singleton quickly apologized.
“If I did that I’m so sorry,” he said.
“No, no, no, this is part of the -– part of the exercises that I’ve been going though over the last fifteen months,” Obama said, “Which is why it’s pretty impressive that I’m standing here.”
After the event, an embarrassed Singleton could be heard off camera, but on microphone, telling an unidentified man: “Can’t believe I did that. I didn’t think I did. But he said it so I assumed I did. So, certainly wasn’t on purpose.”

Obama Linked To 2004 Party At Rezko’s Home



Obama linked to 2004 party at Rezko’s home
Chicago Tribune
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama’s name came up again at the Antoin “Tony” Rezko corruption trial and in a way that earlier filings in the case did not telegraph.
Stuart Levine, the prosecution’s star witness, said he and Obama were at a party Rezko threw at his Wilmette mansion on April 3, 2004, for Nadhmi Auchi, a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire who Rezko was trying to get to invest in a South Loop real-estate development.
Auchi, now a citizen of the United Kingdom, has faced criminal charges in Europe. He also figured in the revocation of Rezko’s bond early this year after attempting to wire him more than $3 million. Upon learning of that attempt, U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve declared Rezko a flight risk and ordered him held in a federal jail in the Loop.
The Rezko party in 2004 was designed to induce Auchi to pour money into the South Loop investment. Obama’s presence at the party was not previously known. At the time, Obama was fresh off a surprise win in the Illinois Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and was riding a crest of national publicity.


Wild Thing’s comment…….
Tell me who you associate with and I’ll tell you what you are….the saying goes. Or you are who you associate with. Choose your friends carefully. There are more probably but they all are around for a good reason, because it is true.
From Wikipedia article on Nadhmi Auchi:
“Nadhmi Auchi was charged along with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Abdul-Karim Qasim in 1959. Qasim was injured while his bodyguard was killed; Saddam managed to flee the country. Auchi was arrested for delivering weapons to the assassins but was later pardoned by President Qasim.”
Several US political fundraisers are currently on trial for corruption in connection with loans received from Auchi. Auchi is currently barred from entering the US by the state department as an undesirable alien.

Democrat B. Obama Silence On Carter Meeting Hamas



Mideast: Barack Obama refuses to criticize Jimmy Carter’s meeting with Hamas. Is it because Carter may soon endorse him or because Obama once helped fund an organization opposed to Israel’s existence?
Investors Business Daily
“I’m not going to comment on former President Carter,” Obama told reporters while campaigning in Indianapolis. “He’s a private citizen. It’s not my place to discuss who he shouldn’t meet with. I know I’ve said consistently that I would not meet with Hamas.”
Hamas is perhaps the only agent of terror and tyranny Obama has said he would not meet with as part of his promised “aggressive personal diplomacy.” Obama has said he thinks “it’s a disgrace we haven’t talked” to the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il, Bashar Assad, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. He has objected to the designation of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, which it is.
Why he would not be willing to talk to Hamas, which works for the destruction of Israel and showers its missiles on Israeli towns, but insists on talking to Iran, which wants to wipe Israel off the map and is developing the means to do so, is curious. We don’t suppose it has anything to do with media reports that Jimmy Carter, along with Al Gore, have been pressuring Hillary Clinton to leave the race, or that Carter might soon endorse him.
Carter is more than a private citizen. He is an ex-president giving legitimacy to terrorist thugs.

“Carter can achieve something no one else can,” Ahmed Yousef, the chief political adviser to Ismail Haniyeh, the deposed prime minister of the Hamas-led Palestinian government, told World Net Daily.

“If he comes and meets with Hamas, this will also enhance the image and understanding between America and the Muslim world.” Certainly it will enhance the image of Hamas.

Obama’s looking the other way regarding terror is not unprecedented. Among Obama’s circle of friends is William C. Ayers, currently a professor of education at the University of Chicago and a former aide to Chicago’s current mayor, Richard M. Daley. Ayers served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago and in 2001 donated $200 to the “Friends Of Barack Obama.”
Back in the 1970s he was known as just Bill Ayers, a terrorist bomber with the Weathermen who was quoted in the New York Times as finding “a certain eloquence in bombs.” Married to fellow Weathermen terrorist Bernadine Dohrn, he writes openly and without regret about his role in the 1974 bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building in which Obama now serves.
The Woods Fund in 2001 gave a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), a group co-founded by anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rhashid Khalidi. The fund gave AAAN a second grant of $35,000 in 2002. One of AAAN’s projects was a Palestinian art exhibit on what Palestinians call the “Nakba,” or the “catastrophe,” of Israel’s founding in 1948.
Khalidi, according to WND, was a director of the official press agency for the Palestine Liberation Organization, WAFA, in Beirut, Lebanon, while the PLO was conducting terrorist attacks and called a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
Khalidi has called Israel a “racist” state and an “apartheid state in creation.” He has voiced support for Palestinian terror, saying suicide bombings for which Hamas is famous are a legitimate response to “Israeli aggression.”
Obama’s association with Khalidi was more than just a passing acquaintance. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago at the same time Obama taught law there. He held a fundraiser for Obama’s failed congressional bid in 2000. Khalidi has praised Obama as “the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause” and praised him for “saying he supports talks with Iran.”
Obama seems to have a propensity of associating with terrorists or those who support them and want us to talk with them. His pastor of two decades, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, counted our “state terrorism against the Palestinians” as one of America’s chickens coming home to roost on 9/11.
Khalidi would agree with Wright. Does Barack Obama?


Wild Thing’s comment……..
Interesting that Barack Hussein ignores American laws such as the Logan act which prohibits exactly what Carter is doing. So if B. Hussein Obama becomes president we can expect him to ignore whatever laws he doesn’t like.

“That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button”




U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis

.

‘That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button’
Politico
U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a “snake oil salesman” [at a Northern Kentucky Lincoln Day dinner].
He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a “highly classified, national security simulation” with Obama.

“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”

An aide to Davis, Jeremy Hughes, declined to comment on the remark, and didn’t dispute the accuracy of the quote.

UPDATE :
GOP Congressman Apologizes for Calling Obama ‘Boy’
ABC news
ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: A Republican House member Monday sent a letter of apology to Sen. Barack Obama, after calling him “boy” and comparing him to a “snake oil salesman” in attacking his national security credentials at a weekend fund-raising dinner in Kentucky.
According to a Lexington Herald-Leader blog item, Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky., said Saturday that he had recently participated in a “highly classified, national security simulation” with Obama, and said that exercise showed that Obama can’t be trusted to make difficult decisions.

“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”

The Obama campaign slammed the comments.

“It’s hard to tell what is more outrageous — Representative Davis’ condescending and personal attack, or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America,” said Bill Burton, an Obama campaign spokesman.

Davis and his office did not dispute the accuracy of the quote. In his letter to Obama, Davis, a former Army ranger first elected to Congress in 2004, wrote that he “used a poor choice of words when discussing the national security positions of the Presidential candidates.”

“My poor choice of words is regrettable and was in no way meant to impugn you or the your integrity,” Davis wrote. “I offer my sincere apology to you and ask for your forgiveness.”

According to a Davis spokesman, Davis hand-delivered the letter to Obama’s Senate office after returning to Washington on Monday.


Wild Thing’s comment……..
Its TRUE though! Obama’s finger does NOT need to be on the button.
Age gives one a different definition of “boy and girl”. The word “boy” is not in and of itself a racist slur.
And Newfoundlanders call every male boy or buddy (pronounced “ bye” or “b’y”). I doubt any of them will be apologizing any time soon.
Good grief – I know the term “boy” can be taken as offensive when referring to a black male, but in my lexicon it’s also just a plain term for any other man (usually but not necessarily youthful) – such as an athlete, a regular joe, a celebrity or politican, etc. It is sad to see the lexicon shrink out of PC fears.
The congressman should have said, “I was referring to his youthful immaturity, not his race. His overreaction is simply evidence of the immaturity I was referring to, and the type of intimidation that substitutes for discussion on the Left.”
Actually, it’s an insult to boys the world over to compare them with this effeminate fool.

….Thank you Mark for the link to this.
