>>> An update from http://www.CensureCarter.com issued 05/23/2006 at 4:57 PM Pacific. <<<

There's a complete report on the death threats made against the staff and family members by Jimmy Carter's supporters, but first there's some breaking news from NBC 11 (from Carter's own backyard) about the "Censure Jimmy Carter" campaign.

*One key correction: The reporter got it wrong about whether Carter can be Censured - he can, and we've researched this matter extensively. Congress has every right to Censure any individual they so choose. There are no prohibitions for Censure of a private citizen expressed in either the U.S. Constitution or rules of the House of Representatives or U.S. Senate.

So why do we want to see Jimmy Carter censured? For one very important reason: to signal to the rest of the world that when Jimmy Carter attacks American foreign policy or promotes a terrorist organization, like Hamas, he does so as an individual who has been denounced by his own Congress - the people's representative body.

You can also see the segment promoting the Censure Carter campaign on Fox News Channel here:

The increasing amount of news coverage our campaign has received is extremely important because we first have to get word out to the American people about what we are doing and WHY.

The next step will be to articulate to the American public in greater detail how Carter's actions are hurting Americans and emboldening those who wish to do America harm (Hamas, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, North Korea, Fidel Castro of Cuba, etc...)

DEATH THREATS FROM CARTER SUPPORTERS
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

While we were busy collecting more signatures on our "Censure Jimmy Carter" petitions from tens of thousands of Americans, some of the former president's supporters were responding in a rather hateful way.

Just as those in the "Blame America First" crowd have profanely denounced our troops, our military, our Commander in Chief and carried signs saying "We Support Our Troops... When They Shoot Their Officers," they now have verbally attacked and made death threats against the staff and family members of the Censure Carter Committee.

As I type this message our staff is assembling the emails and voice mails to hand over to the proper authorities, but I can tell you for now that these hate-filled missives have ranged from warnings that the lives of Censure Carter staffers would be in danger to disgusting anti-Semitic rants.

Many of the threats have been made against me, Melanie Morgan (Chairman of the Censure Carter campaign) personally.

I find it ironic that while we have sought to address our grievances with Mr. Carter through proper legislative action and through OpEds and TV commercials, Mr. Carter's supporters have instead chosen to respond with threats of physical violence and hate-filled speech.

You can see why they don't call them the "Love America First" crowd folks.

Please stay tuned for more updates about our campaign. We have some exciting news to announce over the next few days.

These ads are an important way for us to reach out to the American public and we are currently producing a new television ad that documents who the victims of Jimmy Carter's actions have been.

1. are the freepers using anal peyote?

Jimmy Carter a terrorist? That's the most bizarre thing I've seen lately.

(Though I did punch my uncle once for bad-mouthing Carter. I posted about it long ago.)

[Dogmudgeon]

2. They can't be serious

They're trying to SwiftBoat Jimmy -- and they don't even have a boat.

--p!

[Mythsaje]

3. Censured by "the peoples' representative body"???

They're kidding, right? The vast majority of Americans don't approve of the job congress is doing, and don't consider them AT ALL representative of them.

What a bunch of freaks.

[Dunvegan]

4. I know there is a problem with their "reality base"...

...but this is far more "space base" than anything I've seen to date.

They'd be closer to the mark by saying that "Carter's Little Liver Pills" are Weapons of Mass Destruction than even whispering that President Carter (of Habitat for Humanity) is a...whaaa?...terrorist.

Now...if they said Carter is a "terra-ist"...i.e., someone concerned about the planet...well, then (in Emily Latella fashion) I say, "Never mind!"

[Douglas Carpenter]

5. now that is #%#$&$ loony

[BlueIris]

6. Insane.

[ReadTomPaine]

7. As others have pointed out, he's a respected election observer..

He's also a senior Democratic statesman with pull around the world.

Therefore, it's time for him to go. Have to get him out of the way before he does any damage to the GOP's political machine in '06 & '08.

[iconoclastic cat]

8. That's either a dissociative disorder or a bad case of projection.

[beingthere]

9. Melanie Morgan, somehow you just may be nuts. n/t

[Vickers]

10. They're just mad because Carter knows how to use a hammer

and George chokes up on one like the cheerleader he is.

[primative1]

11. Cesuring Carter would just make me like him more

What could be a greater honor than being censured by these a-holes. Would just prove he is doing something right.

[zanne]

12. Anybody seen the "Censure Carter" commercial?

I saw it on CNN a couple of days ago. It starts out saying that "Democrats want to censure President Bush", and then it goes on to list Jimmy Carter's "sins" while he was in office. It ends with a declaration that we should censure Carter. I thought it was satire, until they just went to another commercial. These people are definitely off their meds, and their "commercial" just makes them look ridiculous.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. They're sending themselves hatemail and then trotting it out

to try to make Carter's supporters look bad. I don't doubt that they would descend to that type of tactic.

I guess Clinton's penis just isn't a big enough scapegoat for them anymore.

[tabasco]

14. Years and years of republicon propaganda has rotted their brains.

How many millions of these insane people are there in this Nation?
