Carter on Palestine: Why are so few of us able, like Carter, to buck MSM manipulation

Wonder if there is some formula or method that Carter could
provide. It is amazing how few dare go against the more determined
propaganda campaigns of our time -- whether it is the systematic
patterns by which common illusions (such as regarding the
ME conflicts) are maintained or the devious framings by which public
opinion of political personalities are controlled.

If Carter could help teach Dems the skill for resisting the
power of these campaigns that he seems to have it would be such a great service.

1. He's an intellectual giant.
He isn't just a politician but a scientists and former military commander who is very studious about the King James Bible-that book that the freepers purportedly read. I am certain he would be willing to answer such a question of anyone who would ask him.

2. Agree.
He's a man who is quite capable of thinking for himself, and willing to speak his mind. He doesn't pander to special interests; he just looks for what is right and just. He's my hero!

3. He has come a long way since his Presidency
and especially since the days when he tried to block the BCCI investigations in Congress. I think that he has learned a lot and has found out that it is better to let sunshine into government rather than keep secrets.

6. Some men evolve and grow. Others do not.
Jimmy Carter has evolved and grown. From his days as the right president at the wrong time to where he is today - perhaps the greatest peace thinker of a generation.

Jimmy Carter is a national treasure. A quiet man who still holds sway. And intellectual who gives the word praise in his embodiment of it.
