#1 Even the Chinese are pretty much over Mao, why would a Maoist government be a good idea for anywhere. Basically, Mao ruled the old fashioned way ... if you were any possible threat to him, you were liquidated. Simple. Why is that a "good thing"?

#2 The former US president also defended the Maoists against charges of inciting pre-poll violence. The charges had been made by a delegation of Asian observers.

Are you familiar with the victims of violence? Carter retorted. Fourteen of the 16 killed in pre-poll violence were Maoists.

He also pointed out that of the eight people who had died on a single day, seven were Maoists.

They were not armed and did not fire, he said. They were all victims of assassination.

#4 Carter once again proves that his true beliefs lie with our enemies.

"Against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

#5 Perhaps he could take up residence there and start setting up the institutions necessary for a democracy to flourish. He can start with a free press, the right to bear arms, the right to vote, respect for the vote, a free internet, checks and balances, a somewhat balanced, legal system, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, . . . .

#8 Heh, Maoists. Is this some kind of Discredited Ideology Of The Month Club?

Besides, you can't be Maoists unless you've caused mass starvation or murdered a few million of your own people.

#10 Mr. Carter is going to be so surprised when he opens his eyes after drawing his final breath to find himself in the lowest circle of Hell.

#16 I've told this story before (being a native Georgian), but it bears repeating. About 6 months ago, local radio station held a contest to give Georgia a new State Slogan (we're no longer the "Peach State" in terms of Peach production, we're like #23 or something...I blame ~~global warming~~ climate change, but that's 'nother story).

Anyways, some younger male calls in and (this was around the time Carter's Apartheid book came out) says our new State slogan should be "Sorry".

The DJ seemed confused and asked what he meant by that. The guy said "Sorry. For giving this nation Jimmy Carter!" They all just burst out in hysterical laughter (it was one of those "small town, gun-totin', God-fearin', Country music stations" (like Obama now loves).
