Meet Kim Jong Il’s Answer to Baghdad Bob
**Written by Doug Powers
North Korea’s Kim Jong Il has starved his own people in various ways for a long time (while obviously eating very well himself). So, in order to do something about it, Jimmy Carter went to North Korea and later had some stern words… for the US and South Korea. Carter accused both the US and one of its allies of human rights violations. Yeah, that sounds about right:
(RTTNews) – Ex-US President Jimmy Carter has flayed the US and South Korea for withholding food aid to North Korea which he said amounted to violation of human rights, reports said on Thursday.
Briefing reporters in South Korean capital, Seoul, after wrapping up his three-day visit to Communist North, Carter said Pyongyang badly needed food imports.
“One of the most important human rights is to have food to eat, and for South Korea and the US and others to deliberately withhold food aid to the North Korean people is really a human rights violation,” he said.
Leave it to Jimmy Carter to go to a place called “Communist North” and conclude the misery there is somebody else’s fault. Saddam Hussein had Baghdad Bob, so it’s only fair that Kim Jong Il has Pyongyang Jimmy. What’s even sadder is that Kim Jong Il refused to meet with Carter’s group, but that didn’t prevent Jimmy from shilling for the communist regime.
This is just embarrassing… even for Carter. Somewhere Billy is saying “and they called me the embarrassing one?”

Notice the backdrop. Richard Branson’s group of The Elders.
A bunch of vile, hypocritical, wads of flesh, starting with Branson himself for willfully surrounding himslef with the likes of Jimmay and Tutu. Not a good soul in the bunch and they are the “leaders.”
We are so screwed.
The Good die young but Evil lives on forever.
I wonder if this is the kind of crap we’ll have to look forward to once Teh Won leaves office?
How many AMERICANS needed food aid because of his policies?Look at the rising numbers of food stamp users under BHO and his policies.Does Jim know that most of what is (donated)to North Korea is used to feed the army and a select few?
This old cod is getting crazier with every passing year. He needs to be confined to a mental hospital. Really. Truly. Nuts.
Maybe he just needs a powerful enema. The impacted sh*t seems to be feeding back up into his brain.
I doubt it. Bambi doesn’t want the job now, once he is out I predict he’ll just disappear.
Wow Doug, you’re posting early. I’m sure you’re watching the Royal wedding. As for Jimmy, useful idiot comes to mind.
Brezhnev, Castro, Chavez. Why should Kim-Jong-Mentally-Ill be any different when it comes to “Jimmah Cahtah” slobbering all over them? Carter never met a communist dictator he didn’t like.
I’m having way too many flashbacks of 1979.
Jimmy Carter is now, and always has been a doddering old fool. Even when he was young. Brainless nutcase comes to mind. We sure have elected some clunkers for POTUS, haven’t we? Wake up, America, and vet our leaders before getting stuck with them! How many more chances are we going to get??
His legacy will be the “free” cheese.
Go build a house Jimmy! That is the only successful thing you have done.
If Carter would only shut up and go away, it’d be that much easier to forget he’s second worst president of all time (the first one, of course, being the present occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue).

That presumes that he will leave quietly or at all. But if he does, it will be off to the golf course(s) and basketball courts.
I can’t believe this “man” went to the US Naval Academy and came out like he did. What is it – is it all the peanuts he has eaten in his life, making him constipated? In the brain?
He has truly deteriorated into an even more spineless liberal than he was before.
J. Carter is how old? Surely he will croak soon and move off the world stage and we will be done with him once and for all.
Jimma lost his title of ‘Worst’ US President ever to the current job holder. I predict he will also lose being the ‘Worst’ former US President to the current White House occupant.
FIFY Jimmah….
Too much time inside the reactor core apparently.
You’re assuming he’s going to leave office….
Competition for the “Worst President Ever” is heating up.
My bet is on Obama. He has all the right tools. Stupidity, incompetence, vacuity, lackadaisical, prodigal habits.
Now, if the competition were for dumb and/or dumber, Carter would reign.
Watz out! Der iz a wabbit chazing yu!
If he is so opposed to the U.S., please move to North Korea, build a house and take Alec Baldwin with you since he promised to move away years ago. Another liberal lie!
Jimmuh is a (pea)nut job. He needs to follow Superman’s lead and renounce his U.S. citizenship in front of the U.N. Of course, he would lose all those perks…retirement income, health care, secret service protection, media coverage, land ownership, his presidential library. Y’know, all those things that make being an ex-president a day-to-day horror.
Heck, even his daughter Amy would let Jimmuh give her away at her wedding. How nutty is that?
Useful Idiot.
Always was, always will be.
If this old coot is so unhappy with the US, why doesn’t he move to some country where he will feel more at home? I am so tired of presidents and x-presidents trashing this country.
L
Jimmy you’re an imbecile. Having food is not a human right. Being free to work and/or produce food is a human right.
FIFY
I can’t wait to hear Obambi rip the U.S. in foreign countries when his skinny carcass is thrown out of the WH after just one term.
Let them eat peanuts (while China enjoys the Panama canal that the US built, thanks to Jimmah).
Well it’s a good thing he’s not sitting in a full diaper wallowing in his feces with spittle running down his chin, then they’d really have to take him serious!
Thanks, you did good on the fity! I should have thought of that myself.

Whether B.O. is voted out in 2012, or he steps down after a calamitous 8 years in office, I guarantee that he will join Carter as an agent against our national interests, regardless of who or where it is. There should be no doubt about that.

You mean like Chrissy Mat. when he gets the “tingle?”
Who would have predicted that a former president (cannot capitalize with this dangerous clown, either) would eventually arguably conduct himself as a domestic enemy?
What makes anyone think he’ll leave after 8 yeats? If Article II sec.1 does not apply to him, why would the 22nd amendment?

I always knew old Jimmy was brainwashed. Wonder how many enemas it took, one or two.
I guess Jimmy forgot who was in the Whitehouse right now. When Reagan’s mind was going he at least stayed on his ranch.

Oh, for a minute there, I thought you were talking about Michael Moore.
True dat. bbbwwwaaaahahahahaha. He will just take up residence in the basement coffin with Kenyan soil in it.
Oh, he’ll leave, VP. He’ll leave. If not voluntarily by honest election, then in cuffs by the military. He.will.leave. We don’t do dictatorships in the United States of America. Never have, NEVER WILL!
How many times can Jimmy Carter win the title “King of Fools”? Maybe we need a new award/title like “Super King of Fools” or “Ultimate Fool of the Millenium”, or maybe “Permanent Holder of the Drool Cup First Class”.
Yeah, right. They have changed the Constitution right in front of our eyes. Native born is not natural born.
We did nothing.
Allahpundit calls Peanut-head a useful idiot. Nope – useless idiot. Even Kim Jerk Il will find no use for this irrelevant moron.
Any way we could cancel his passport and leave him in Pyongyang? Good place for him.
Dear Jimmuh: Just.Go.Away.
You beat me to it swede! I agree he’s a useless idiot. Useful idiot, useless idiot, tomato (with a long “a”), tomato (“a” with short “o” sound).
There is a difference between these two things. The constitutional law of elibility is sometimes misinterpreted, as we see in this case. I think it should be resolved once and for all in the Supreme Court because the average citizen really doesn’t understand it, and it has been perverted.
However, a POTUS who tries to hi-jack the Presidency and become a dictator, a la Hugo Chavez, would not get away with it. This is much clearer to everyone, don’t you think?
Happy, I would hope so, but the fact that they got away with the semantic sleight of hand change from natural born to native born, with the apparent cooperation of everyone, leaves me doubtful.
Listen up Jimmah….
If Dear Leader is starving his people so he can keep his military going, that’s his problem to solve. Not ours, or anyone elses.
Giving them food is simply paying ransom to a terrorist. Not something we want to be doing.
Carter is just a Communist shill. What is the opposite of a patriot?
Virginia Patriot, it is not new. What in the constitution allows for corporations?

HI VIRGINIA_PATRIOT–#20. Don’t worry–Comrade Obama will be leaving the White House after He loses the Nov. 2012 election. And–if the election is cancelled for some ginned up national “security” crisis–it will be American Civil War II.

All military personnel take an oath to DEFEND AND PROTECT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. And there is no expiration date on the oath I took as an Army draftee 47 years ago. I knew who the foreign enemies were then. But I wondered who the domestic enemies might be. I see them clearly now.

The Messiah and his ilk didn’t see any problems when the President of Honduras wanted to violate their Constitution and stay in power after serving the one 5 year term permitted there.

And the Good Comrade didn’t like it when Honduras followed their Constitution and took the would be usurper out of office and threw him out of the country. A good object lesson for any elected official who thinks they are above the law.

Foreign aid like that can really backfire. Around 1960, the poverty level for all of Africa was about 11%. By 1990 it was 66%.
I don’t think people really understand what it takes to successfully help the poor and oppressed in the Third World.
Foriegn aid is just an easy solution that people use as a PR campaign to (surprise, surprise) look and feel good.
Jimmy Carter, the oozing fistula that just won’t heal!
See #35 above.
Loser
Who is worse, Obama as President or Carter as ex-President?
“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
I realize that this twinkle-toed, pansy-assed fool is as much a commie as Kim Jong Il, but doesn’t Carter know that from before there WAS history, man has had to earn his food (either by killing it, or growing it)? Being fed has NEVER been a “right”, Human or otherwise.
People get the government they deserve, even us, God help us. We deserve Obowma, because we voted for him. Peasants have risen up and deposed Kings before. North Koreans could rid themselves of Kim, if they wanted to. North Korea’s starving of their own people is the North Korean’s fault, not ours, and not the South Korean’s.
Sooner or later Jimmy will even embarrass Democraps.
+1
Ick and apt.
decisions, decisions… train wreck or a plane wreck. Hmm…
To think this guy was given a free education at a military academy. He must have been absent the days they were discussing treason.
During the Clinton years, Crazy Jimmy brokered a deal with NK. No nuclear research for, among other things, food for the civilian population.
A while later we found out that NK was deep in nuclear research. There was also an incident were a NK submarine misjudged the shore and was beached in South Korean territory. When the SK military went aboard, guess what they found? The food that was supposed to be given to the NK civilians, who were starving, was given to the NK military instead.
Sorry, Jimmy. No soap. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. You want to do something for the world’s poor? Ban socialism and un-ban DDT.
Maybe the plane could crash into the train. I’m sure the left could find some fine upstanding individuals through it’s muslim outreach programs that would be willing to perform this job americans won’t do.
Hands down….its Obama. He’s still got over a year and half to finish off the USA.
Most of my late 70s flashbacks are great memories. On the lighter side, one of my girlfriends used to jokingly refer to her “monthly visitor” as “Jimmy Carter.” As in, “We can’t. Jimmy Carter has dropped in.” Frustrating, but I always laughed at that.
Isn’t being able to feed your people part of playing Run a Country? If you can’t take care of them or don’t want to because you’re too busy building weapons and being nasty, then you should have to step down. Jong II should hand it all over to South Korea.
Or maybe Jimmy and Michelle can relocate to the North country and she can teach them all to farm. /s
`
If we are able to successfully rid the world of this entire regime it will take at least 3 generations to get it completely erased.
That’s because their school system does the same type of brainwashing as our liberal controlled education system. They hold their leader up as a god.
BTW: Replacement word for dementia= Carter, Cartered, going Carter, at the brink of Carter, etc.
You can’t embarrass those who have no shame.
I should add, the thought of people starving is disturbing to me. Whether one allows the perishing of their citizens through bombs or bullets or the slow death of starvation – it’s inhumane and cruel. And IF such a death is preventable by any means, I consider it criminal/ murder.
Barry O must say a prayer every day for the continued good health of Jimmy Carter. Jimmy is the only person that can keep Barry from being considered the worst President in the last 50 to a 100 years.
The only ones guilty of starving their civilian population in North Korea is the NK Communist Party and all of their supporters. As is his wont to do, Jimmy the Dope is looking to place blame on the wrong country. And, worse, he is the most vehement anti-semite.
There are no
tanksbrain cells inBaghdadJimmy Carter!This is not a right.
If it even vaguely resembles a right, it would fall under pursuit of happiness. So, one has the right to pursue food, but there’s no guarantee you can bring it down if/when you catch it.
Hey, TooMuchTime…TooMuchInformation!
You could sneak into N. Korea and assassinate Kim Jong Il and his son. This would almost certainly fix the problem of mass starvation. You almost certainly will be killed in the attempt.
But, as you could do that, and you don’t do that, you’re a criminal guilty of murder.
Wow. That’s an “interesting” way to look at my comment.
So you do or don’t think it’s criminal for a country’s leader to let their people starve – if – they can do something about it (like change his policies, ask for help and accept it while ensuring the food gets to the people intended, re-distribute the budget to include – food, improve agricultural practices, etc., etc.) but choose not to?
Maybe I’m niave, but I think it’s morally unconscionable.
We’ve been put on this earth to help each other. You know,do what you can, when you’re able to help others. Does that make me personally responsible for Jong the II’s inability or inaction? I’m seeing visions of a renegade GI jane and it’s not pretty.
I can donate funds, time and services in order to aid anothers. I’m for walking back into a store and picking up some OJ and a muffin for the hungry one sitting under the lamp post or for picking up the phone and tracking down the correct party to follow up on a food shortage I’ve witnessed in the I.D camps in N. Uganda. However, a person has to draw the line somewhere and for me that’s at assassination
I got the impression you were condemning *us* for not doing whatever we can to feed their starving people. It seems hypocritical to me to condemn our gov’t for not helping their people unless you’re willing to condemn yourself for the same “crime”.
We fundamentally disagree. I don’t believe we were put on Earth to help each other.
If the starving of the N Koreans is bad enough, then the N Koreans can overthrow their government. Until I see a large opposition movement to N Korea’s gov’t (bigger than Libya), I see no point in lifting a finger. Feeding them just helps keep Kim Jung Il in power, and attacking Kim Jung Il just makes the population hate us, not him.
Jimmy Cahter is such a left wing ideologue that he cannot see the truth right in front of his face: the one starving the North Korean people is Kim Jong ILL (ILL fits him, as he as in sick in the head)
From your keyboard to God’s eyes.
I don’t remember the Bill of Rights saying anything about eating. Who’da thunk?
Is that Jimmah or Barry you are referring to?

Who IS Barry Soetoro, REALLY? I want to see his college entrance applications to see if he applied as a foreign student. (scholarship my a$$).
I too took that oath in 1969, served 23 years. My current military ID expiration date is INDEFINITE and so is the oath that goes with that ID card.
I’m not above shouldering a weapon again. I’m out of shape and almost blind but I can still sight in a target. Recognition is another matter.

Oddly enough, it works the same way on the domestic scene as well. The “War on Poverty” (burn in hell, LBJ) has seen almost 9 Trillion dollars spent/wasted/ended up in someone’s pocket (not the intended recipient) and see where that’s gotten us.

How do you know he isn’t Rogue?
One wonders how the NorK’s can get nuclear reactors and weapons, yet don’t have money for food?
Did they pick them up at the discount store?
Well let’s see, my guess would be they got the knowledge/material from the Chicoms who got it from BJ Clintoon in exchange for campaign cash. I could be wrong but it IS a hunch.

I know you guys hate Jimmy Carter, but I am really impressed with all the work he and his wife have done with Habitat for Humanity. He seems to have sincere Christian beliefs, and I admire that, too.
Two questions then:
1. Why does he so thoroughly embrace godless communists?
2. Why does he denigrate so many good Christians in this country when doing #1?
Given his actions over many years, I seriously doubt how sincere his beliefs are. I believe they are like many religious beliefs shown by the left….shown for political gain only.
Habitat for Humanity is an unjust farce.
Kinda like his Presidency.
If you’d lived through his Presidency… well, you may not hate him too, but you wouldn’t like him much.
Hiraghm–what is wrong with HfH? I think they’re a good group. I have donated through my church before. They are on Charity Watch’s “top rated” list.
Well, I’m the left and I’m a Christian, and I’m not running for anything…
Ever wonder how they put people who can’t get regular loans into homes that cost half as much to build (or less) than regular homes, while getting materials, and above all, permits in a timely fashion?
What? No.
I said it’s wrong for him to starve his people.
Oh yeah, like writing a book and making many speeches trashing Jews then apologizing just in time to try to get his grandson elected as a state senator in a district with a lot of Jewish voters. Your statement hit the nail right on the head.
There’s alot of professional folks here that regularly give their time and skills towards habitat homes, along side the people who will someday occupy and own them. I’ve seen two homes completed and the new inhabitants very thankful for such a program. They had to qualify, put in alot of hard work and are making their mortgage payments. The square footage is very small, but it’s a place to call their own. Maybe you’ve had a different experience with this program?
Seriously, how much longer do we have to put up with Carter? Haven’t we already paid enough?
They’re efficient and respected, and they’ve nurtured ties with the communities they serve?
I don’t even know what you’re suggesting, to be honest.
Wow, they can magically break the laws of physics and common sense?
They get building permits faster than legitimate contractors; they use unskilled labor, and somehow they manage to get inspections done (and passed) which legitimate builders have to wait, stand on one leg and the other, and sometimes even bribe for. To build houses for people who can’t afford houses.
Nothing suspicious here. Move along.
I’m not trying to be contentious, and I rarely get a coherent answer, but can you explain how a Christian leftist reconciles their Christian beliefs with the lefts rabid support of abortion?
I could see how one might be able to do that with the usual abortions, but even partial birth abortion is rabidly protected by the left.
I mean, how long has the left protected Kermit Gosnell?
What does a leftist say to God on Sunday after supporting someone like Gosnell all week? or looking the other while your political candidates support him?
