Send him to Cuba — they have free healthcare there.

This is good for me because the Lord is trying to teach me to pray for my enemies.

I pray that he lives to see the Nov 2 election results.

I dread the day because we’ll have two-three weeks of gushing about his greatness in the liberal media.

Sorry but he needs to experience at least some of the suffering of his millions of victims.

Be cool, FReepers.

Better yet, be cold as ice.

I wish leftists would all live to be 150. Then they could grow to be weak, miserable, see all the fruits of their works, and never get the chance to be martyred.

Could this be an October Surprise? Consider a Wellstone-like event with Hussein, Pelosi and Reid...

Not wishing the former president ill...in fact...prayers up.

Was it wrong to pray for the destruction of Hitler in 1942?

President Carter was dancing and singing that he is not longer the worst president when he was taken ill........

At least he can now die knowing he will only be known as the second worst President of all time.

I wish Jimmuh a speedy return to full health.

The last thing we need is for the Democrats to be given a gift of his passing to sway voters with before November 2.

And, don’t doubt for a minute they would capitalize on such news.

1. -->

:thumbsdown:

[malaise]

2. Even free health care won't save their

heartless 'pulseless' dick. Tell them to go Cheney themselves.

[joeybee12]

3. How can someone be raised a United States marine? Do they accept

applications at birth now?

[47of74]

4. What a bunch of heartless pigs.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

32. And that is the intent behind this post, and anything else I post from their site

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to address this...and thank you also for "getting it." I'm shining a light on the heartless pigs at F.R....that's it.

I respect the rights of people to piss and moan about how seeing this stuff messes up their beautiful mind and how they don't consider it welcome in their own personal bubble.

It never ceases to amaze me when I see people who are not the owners of this Website lay out a list of demands regarding what shall or shall not be posted here. DU is a Website dedicated to political discussion. That means there are ugly things that come up in the conversation. The freepers' response to President Carter's health is one of them. It's a discussion. On a political Website. No one has a gun pointed at their head, forcing them to participate.

As always, I am 100% OK with people hiding my threads and/or putting me on ignore. In fact, I encourage it, if it makes them feel better.

I want to keep a spotlight focused on Free Republic as a hate site, a home for...as you say...heartless pigs.

If anyone here doesn't like that, well...see above.

:patriot:

[closeupready]

5. Unrecced. I don't need to see what those people think.

And I honestly think posting a link to that website (or even copying text from there) just pollutes this board with toxicity.

[MattBaggins]

6. "needs to experience at least some of the suffering of his millions of victims"

WTF? These people are out of their fracking minds. Stupid beyond belief.

"Was it wrong to pray for the destruction of Hitler in 1942?"
Really? Carter being compared to Hitler? These are people that need hate. They aren't happy unless they have a boogeyman to direct their self loathing unto.

[KamaAina]

33. Godwin's Law invoked. FReepers lose.

:P

[HughBeaumont]

7. "because we’ll have two-three weeks of gushing about his greatness in the liberal media."

Right, because Faux didn't have week-long Reagan telethons when he took a dirt nap. And ONCE again, there IS NO LIBERAL MEDIA! Go fist yourselves, you lemming lapdog fucksticks.

"2nd worst president ever" Carter had greater job creation numbers than Reagan's first term. I'll give the Freepsucks five minutes to fret and fume at the screen over this fact.

[bulloney]

21. You mean they think Bush was worse than Carter?

[kirby]

8. No worse than stuff said on DU about ill Repukes n/t

[Dappleganger]

10. Show me where Jimmy Carter is a war criminal. nt

[kirby]

14. Show me where Sen. Ted Stevens was a war criminal. nt

[Dappleganger]

15. Are you actually defending fraud committed by Ted Stevens?

Did Jimmy Carter do the same?

Am I on DU???

:eyes:

[kirby]

20. I'm not defending anyone...

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of this post. The moral relativism associated with dancing on the graves of people we disagree with is disgusting.

And by the way, as much as I dislike Stevens, the charges against him were eventually thrown out.

[Dappleganger]

23. If you don't like grave dancing, don't click on those posts.

BTW, those charges were thrown out due because the prosecutors botched their case, not because Stevens was innocent.

And yet once again, what the hell did Jimmy Carter do to get your panties in a wad??

[kirby]

27. Carter did nothing to get my panties in a wad...

I think he is a great man and got blamed for a lot of stuff that was not his fault when he was President. This has nothing to do with Carter or even specifically Stevens.

In our system if the charges are thrown out, you are innocent.

[Jack Rabbit]

18. Show me where Carter was a war ciminal . . .

[Renew Deal]

19. You're taking the the "two wrongs make a right" angle?

OK, but you're still wrong.

[Dappleganger]

25. No.

I'm taking the "war criminals and politicians who commit fraud deserve what they get" position.

[lovemyblackberry]

17. I love people's hypocracy to things. they always have an excuse for why they are right.

[TonyMontana]

29. False equivalence

Usually, the republicans deserve it.

[Dappleganger]

9. "millions of his victims"???

Just who did he victimize??

[Jack Rabbit]

12. Any millionaire who had to pay any taxes at all

In Freeperland, millionaires are better than we are. To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, that's because they have money. This makes the "producers."

In the real world, America was in better shape when the producers (the actual producers, that is) had an easier time joining labor unions.

[Dappleganger]

16. Aw, right...

some of the animals are more equal than others.

[superduperfarleft]

24. That jumped out at me as well.

I mean, I'm sure there were the usual coups and foreign interventions that go on under every president which are escaping my memory right now, but I can't see the freepers giving a shit (too "anti-colonialist" I guess).

[Jack Rabbit]

11. What classy sweethearts they are

Yes, if all us lefties live to be 150, we will be very happy to see the fruit of our works: free public health care will come in very handy and health insurance racketeers like Cigna and WellPoint will have long since gone out of business.

[flvegan]

13. They're upset that their website's coding is from Carter's time as President.

Freepers always hatin' on the late 70's.

[stuntcat]

22. classy

classy bunch

[eyeofdelphi]

26. really? seriously?

did they just actually compare jimmy carter to hitler?! is there anyone on earth not comparable to hitler then? wtf?
and sorry, i'm relatively young (29) and was not around for his presidency, but what exactly do they think he did that was awful? one of them said something about how he needs to "experience some of the suffering of his millions of victims." what victims? did he go all Pinochet or something?

[COLGATE4]

28. Put a million monkeys at a million typewriters for eternity

and you'll get Free Republic.

[Dr. Strange]

31. I really don't think that's true.

I do think you would get their website design, though.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. They are classy as always.

:sarcasm:

That said, some of the posts here when Chenney went to 'spital were just as classy...

Mirror images at times, indeed.
