Carter Refuses to Debate Dershowitz

What about the book makes you consider it a puff piece?

because that book is no better than a grocery store tabloid?

How did you come to that determination?

I'm not asking about your opinion of Mr. Carter.

I am asking about your comments on the book.

Carter is a coward, doesn't have the guts to face Dershowitz. You guys can attacke me, make sinde & irrelvant comments all day long, that doesn't change the fact that Carter is a coward, a liar, & an anti-Smeite & those are the reasons that Carter is hiding.

". Carter has been out of the loop for 2 & a half decades." Excluding the international work of the Carter Institute and his role in Hati in the 90s and in the Good Friday Peace accord in Ireland, his thwarting of the Bushie led coup of Chavez in Venezuala, and now his remarkable achievement of getting Americans to at least hear the truth about Gaza and Israeli atrocities.

Yes, let's try to get back on topic.

Apparently you're saying that the fact that Carter refuses to debate Dershowitz makes him a coward, a liar and an anti-Semite.

I'm wondering: are you calling Carter a coward, a liar and an anti-Semite anyways, and the bit that he refuses to meet Dersho in a debate doesn't really matter to you, and is just another chance to slime him?

Or would you criticise anyone who puts himself out in the public and, when challenged by an "expert" to a debate, gently refuses, turns down the offer or just ignores that opportunity?
In other words: does the fact that you're a public figure and you decline to debate someone make you a coward and a liar? (I'll leave out the anti-Semite bit here...)

Iran TV debate challenge to Bush

Iran's president has challenged US President George W Bush to a live TV debate on world affairs.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the US and UK of abusing their "special privileges" and said a debate would let both sides air their views uncensored.

[...]

Mr Ahmadinejad's challenge to President Bush was dismissed by the White House.

Does the fact that the White House refused to debate Ahmadinejad make Bush a liar and a coward, too? Does Bush know he can't back up his point of view of the problems the world is facing?

If Bush believes that he has the facts, then why doesn't he debate Ahmadinejad?

I think John Kerry & a few other good Americans would agree with speaking with & dealing with the enemy. So far as I know, neither Carter nor Dershowitz are enemies of this country.

Enemies of Israel are enemies of the USA ...

Or if Bush debated Ahmadinejad, it would be the leaders of two democracies facing off.

Do you honestly believe that anything of worth would come out of a debate like that? Wouldn't it be legitimizing Ahmadinejad?

Dear LoneStar, I have a Wolfgang Puck 12" skillet, stainless steel 18/10 that I over-heated cooking an Italian sausage. It is now quite stained and I am having difficulty getting it clean. Do you have any advice?
