No one with an IQ over room temperature believes a word that comes out of Michelle Malkin's mouth.

HERE is a website cataloging the former Ms. Maglalang's greatest hits. Make sure you click on the Chris Matthews video, he destroys her "SOME people say John Kerry shot himself!" lies.

Must be really hot in that room of yours.

What's your IQ??? Something tells me you wouldn't even come close to qualifying for Mensa membership.

"Stupid is as stupid does." - Forrest Gump

And really STUPID is what Jimmy Carter just did.

From the other side of the tracks

When I saw your "136" I was initially impressed. Then I realized you'd left out the decimal, but 13.6 seemed low, even for you. Then I finally figured out that you were your were listing your IQ in Celsius, and 13.6 Celsius is roughly 55 Fahrenheit and 55 is just about where I'd pegged you.

I suspect you ate quite a bit of paste as a child.

Keep trying. I don't think 136 qualifies for Mensa - but keep trying!!

Actually, it does. But then I wouldn't have expected you to know that.

From the other side of the tracks

Sorry - didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. Most Mensa members I know never mention their 'score'. Congratulations!

duh, if you have to spout out about your IQ, you must be a moron under that cover...

I actually looked into qualifications for Mensa after scoring a 98th percentile on the Miller's Analogy Test. Now, that is not all that tough a task, since that is a test you can actually "beat". I had a prof at WGC who told me the secret {do about 6 months of crossword puzzles before taking it}. I think that you have to score in the top 5% on some standardized test of that nature. GRE, LSAT, maybe even SAT or PSAT though I am not sure. But the thing I found most enlightening was that all the people I came in contact with who were Mensa were overly proud of their test scores. There is more to life than being known as a Mensa member. IMHO...keep the faith.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

The concept of IQ as a fixed number for an individual is obsolete. IQ is like your golf score--it can be improved with practice, up to a point. Likewise, your specific abilities at the various components of intelligence can also be improved by practicing at that particular skill. Math for example. There are a number of books on how to do "Mental Math" or perhaps memory improvement.

OS_Trax, if you were a Mensa member, I would think you would know that.

Well, I did see a pictoral once on the girls of Mensa. They all looked pretty normal. A good deal of the time I really can't tell how smart someone is because I don't know what they're talking about.

Vote the issues, vote the person, stop the partisan nonsense.

Depending on which test, it can qualify as the top 2%.

Stop the Torture (of the American people)

What a disgrace…to have a former President defy his very own governments wishes and many leaders in his own party. It certainly demonstrates his total disregard for both his party and his government.

And the only retort that Jeff can say is Ho-hum…. I guess its tough to dispute the facts…as so well laid out in the article…full of facts! Its understandable that the only comment would be Ho-hum.

His legacy as one of this country worst ever Presidents lives on!

A disgrace indeed. Jeff's weak retort was predictable.

Looks like "Sick" has joined the Bush derangement circle jerk. No facts, just rambling opinions with nothing to back it up.

Michelle Malkin served up former President Carter in style and showed him as he really is. A terrorist apologist.

You'd think James Earl Carter would have learned that lesson during his own administration. He spent over a year trying to secretly negotiate with Iran for the release of the hostages. He failed repeatedly and miserably.

And Obama wants to "sit down and talk with" these intractible terrorists. Such naiveté.

Instead, we need to find peace through strength.

Visits like this backfire by lending credibility to terrorist organizations. It also give them a platform to espouse their hate. Misguided foolishness - plain and simple.

From the other side of the tracks

Come on buddy, that is a little crude isn't it?

I may be on a fool’s errand here, believing that flip and other actually believe Malkin’s silly ravings are, as flip212 writes, “I guess its tough to dispute the facts…as so well laid out in the article…full of facts!”

However, because I have the time and with the caveat that if you guys really are pulling my leg by pretending instead of being so partisan and/or uninformed that you really believe it (in which case, you got me!) here it is:

“Shalit’s father rightly jeered Carter as nothing more than a postman for Hamas.”

Here is what Shalit’s father actually said, no resemblance at all to Malkin’s make believe fantasy:

"Maybe, because the former president isn't considered pro-Israeli according to the American tradition, [that] could help him meet with certain people," Noam Shalit told the Israeli news Web site Ynetnews.com. Mr. Shalit, Cpl. Shalit's father, also said Mr. Carter is in a position to "raise ideas that would be viewed with suspicion if they were raised by other people."

Shalit's kin laud Carter

“Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pointed out that she had explicitly warned him against meeting with Hamas.”

No, and Condi has not claimed that she even talked to Carter. She did not, an assistant of hers did, and warned only that going to Gaza would be dangerous.

“What part of “Don’t meet with the Jew-hating killers, you idiot!” didn’t Carter understand?”

Of course everyone knows that Malkin is just making this up and it was never said.

“Carter is a Democratic Party superdelegate who will undoubtedly seek a prominent role at the convention this August.”

Nope. He hasn’t sought a prominent role at previous conventions either.

Malkin opines: “Carter: Obama favorite worldwide.” The news item quoted Carter as saying that Obama is supported by “many people in Ghana, Nigeria and Nepal. ... World opinion is strongly supportive of Obama, that’s all we hear.” (Left off the list of legitimate world opinion, of course: Israel.)

Of course 4 hours before this interview, Carter had just arrived from Nepal where he had been for 6 days following a trip to, yep, Ghana and Nigeria where he is heavily involved in the eradication of Guinea Worm.

I couldn’t find a poll of Israeli’s about Obama but here is an article from Haartz, Israel’s largest newspaper written by Shmuel Rosner their chief U.S. Correspondent:

“Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida is going to co-chair Barack Obama's White House drive in the state. And why would Wexler do such thing? Because "I have spoken with Barack to discuss the dangers facing our ally Israel, and I am convinced there will be no stronger supporter of Israel than President Obama"

Obama supports Israel. Period.

Malkin ignores the truth again trying to associate Obama with Farrakhan even though Obama’s campaign has issued a statement saying: "Sen. Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan's past pronouncements and has not solicited the minister's support."

Malkin then asks foolishly: “Will exiling America’s top Hamas apologist from the convention podium be enough to dispel the shadow of surrender?”

As I have pointed out earlier, Former chief of the Mossad and former head of Israel's National Security Council Efraim Halevy has called for talks with Hamas. Former Shin Bet director and General Security Services Chief Ya'akov Perry and Israel's Minister of Transportation, former Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Likudnik Shaul Mofaz both have said that it is in Israel's security interests to engage in talks with Hamas. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said the Quartet should find way to talk to Hamas. Israeli security cabinet minister and former head of the Israeli secret service Ami Ayalon called for talks with Hamas.

What if Israel Talked to Hamas?

Israeli Minister Calls for Third-Channel Talks with Hamas

Is Malkin stupid enough to think that the former chief of the Mossad and former head of Israel's National Security Council and the former Shin Bet director and General Security Services Chief and the former Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff and the Israeli security cabinet minister and former head of the Israeli secret service and the former US Secretary of State are “Hamas apologist”? Quite possibly, from all appearances.

So flip212, where did all your “facts” go?

Ho-Hum

That a visit by a former US President is a big deal.

And it was a huge mistake. Just admit it.

Your post is lean on facts, and mired in personal opinion.

THE FACT REMAINS THAT VISITING WITH TERROISTS IN THIS WAY GIVES CREDENCE AND STATUS TO THEIR HATE MONGERING VIOLENT ACTS AND PROPAGANDA.

And to prove my point, I challenge you to name ONE GOOD THING that was accomplished by the visit.

For every good thing you can make up, I can name three bad things.

Several of them are in your post already.

Stop trying to defend the indefensible. It was a foolish trip that did not have the support of the current administration. And Jimmy Carter even admitted that in a televised interview.

From the other side of the tracks

But it is too often quite appropriate with you Trax. I hate to tell you this, but just because you make your text bigger doesn't add any "FACT REMAINS" to the "remains" of your biased opinion. And the interesting thing is you can't even have a civil debate with a guy trying his best to be civil. That seems to be par for the course played by my frustrated conservative friends these days. If the facts aren't with you? Don't argue facts. Find someone who makes unfounded accusations and assertions and then parrot them and give lots of "amens." Someone is bound to believe the things you fabricate out of plywood and chicken wire if you just EMPHASIZE THE LIES ENOUGH, right?

Oh, and by the way, if something doesn't have the support of the current administration, it is probably what the American people actually want, since the VAST MAJORITY of American people no longer support this administration.

263 more days to go.

Are you a currently serving military member? Hopefully, you are just a vet or retiree. If you are no longer serving, your political activism on the website is acceptable. You can say whatever you want.
However, if you are currently serving, then your political activism on this website is taboo. Military members are required to be a-political. For example, it is forbidden to appear in public in military uniform at a political rally. Even if you are a member of the Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard, it is forbidden to engage in this kind of activity. You gave up your right to publicly voice your political views when you took the oath of office.
Even if you are just a vet or have already retired, you choose to flaunt a personal military photo and military nickname (“AF A-10” – obviously a Warthog driver) on this website. Rather disingenuous of you Whack. If you are not currently serving, then your photo and nickname present a bogus image of who you really are.

Either way, your integrity is in question.

I served thirty years and have retired. So I can say whatever I want. You, on the other hand, are either trying to present yourself as something you are not, or you are violating the requirement for currently serving military members to remain a-political.

Which is it Hack? Cheers!
From the other side of the tracks

Using your logic and your avatar, which one of the two pictured are you?

I yam what I yam....Popeye

OST you wrote ... "Hopefully, you are just a vet or retiree."

No one that has served in our military in any capacity is JUST a vet.

"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'" (Author unknown)

The bottom line is that whatever you think is good or bad is really irrelevant. You cannot refute one of my facts.

Just opinion. And you have yet to tout ONE GOOD THING that came from the visit, unless you call undermining American Foreign Policy a GOOD thing.

From the other side of the tracks

Here is your opinion: “THE FACT REMAINS THAT VISITING WITH TERROISTS IN THIS WAY GIVES CREDENCE AND STATUS TO THEIR HATE MONGERING VIOLENT ACTS AND PROPAGANDA.”

You are simply wrong and as I have pointed out earlier, Former chief of the Mossad and former head of Israel's National Security Council Efraim Halevy has called for talks with Hamas. Former Shin Bet director and General Security Services Chief Ya'akov Perry and Israel's Minister of Transportation, former Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Likudnik Shaul Mofaz both have said that it is in Israel's security interests to engage in talks with Hamas. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said the Quartet should find way to talk to Hamas. Israeli security cabinet minister and former head of the Israeli secret service Ami Ayalon called for talks with Hamas.

Those are facts.

As I asked before (and which of course you cannot answer) do you think that the former chief of the Mossad and former head of Israel's National Security Council and the former Shin Bet director and General Security Services Chief and the former Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff and the Israeli security cabinet minister and former head of the Israeli secret service and the former US Secretary of State are giving credence and status to terrorist?

Do you think that they do not understand the real situation?

Before the Annapolis conference, a bipartisan group of U.S. foreign-policy experts, including former national security advisers Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, sent a letter to President Bush saying that "genuine dialogue" with Hamas is "far preferable to its isolation."

You may think that your knowledge and insight into the Middle East is superior to Halevy, Ya'akov Perry, Shaul Mofaz, Ami Ayalon, Colin Powell, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft and a host of others I could list. I don’t think so and frankly I haven’t seen any results from the people who hold your position. No results. None. So you are employing the classic strategy: ignore the issue and attack the messenger. This suits me, the bottom line is that nothing is going to happen except failure until Bush goes out of office and another President changes his course to do exactly what Carter advocates.

If I am proven wrong, please direct me back to this post and I will admit that you were right all along.

Good morning Jeff. When your father speaks in North Carolina today at WRAL, he will be "mic"ed up and sound checked by my sister, Alison, who runs the production end of news at WRAL. She's going to mention to him that he has been flown to Africa by one sibling (Dakar) and wired up by another. And she'll let him know that there are a few of us who hope he keeps getting that Passport stamped. I actually believe that if our current President had owned and exercised the use of a passport starting back around the late 60s, he most likely would have had the wisdom to avoid many of the potholes we have driven over at full speed. And people wonder why our foreign policy lost its hubcaps so long ago!

At any rate, enjoy the day, and if you need a quick laugh, go back to the link Sniffles made of Michelle Malkin running at top speed from her own words, or the clip of Chris Matthews suplexing her from the top belt buckle onto a concrete slab for trying to make a veiled reference to John Kerry shooting himself intentionally. Man I love the things you can find on the internets.

Cheers,

to have a CURRENT president who disregards and defies his very own government's laws.

To even put these two in the same category speaks volumes of you.

Maybe you're drinking some of that good ol'Billy Beer that the Carter legacy left behind!

Jimmy Carter is a good man who has devoted his life to the betterment of mankind. Bush has devoted his life to the betterment of his pocket, his ego, and his oil-rich friends.
