Last month I got a strong reaction to my post about Jimmy Carter's problem with Jews. Well, guess what, Jimmy had a strong reaction to the Simon Wiesenthal Center's petition against his biased book. His hand written note to Rabbi Marvin Hier, the Center’s dean and founder, says, "I don't believe Simon Wiesenthal would have resorted to falsehood and slander to raise funds."
Now, what is Jimmy doing with this sly little inuendo? First he is implying that this was a fund raising effort which it was not. Second, he is accusing the Center of lying and slander for purposes of financial gain, but offers no evidence. So, in less than twenty words Carter tries to defame the Simon Wiesenthal Center while presenting himself as the injured party. His closing with "sincerely" is the sugar to conceal the poison.
Jimmy definitely seems to have a lot of hostility toward the Jews and entertains delusions that they are either out to get him and/or more money and power. While bemoaning being called an anti-semite, he nonetheless espouses beliefs similar to those proud to wear the label.
Well, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you know the rest.
