Rachel Maddow on Jimmy Carter Talking to Hamas

[funk7000]

Typical liberal ideology...lets engage terrorists. Yeah whatever. Homosexual activists control the APA and now they're engaging pedophiles in a discussion to "revise" pedophilia off of the DSM list of mental disorders, which will ultimately lead to it decriminalization. This is liberal DOGMA taught in our public schools. Liberals , please keep your religious dogma out of our schools

[Mrpastry909]

Hamas should be invited to discuss peace? They're maniacs who want to kill every Jew (not just Israel, EVERY Jew.) She is an appeaser, and look how well that worked in WWII. Hitler couldn't be talked into peace, he took advantage of the civilized nations' trust and so will Hamas.

[sssssjjjj1]

these jew media liars got bailout money. Can you f-ing believe that?!!!! These lowlife liars get millions from ME and YOU!

[FIRETALK007]

this stupid murphy is scum bag dick face and an asshole ,you fuckin stupid are not smarter than jimmy carter so shut the fuck up

[Gracelandification]

President Carter got the peace prize too. You know Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize twelve days after taking office. Upon acceptance of winning it, Obama was praised by the committee, "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy". . They also gave the peace prize to Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the best known terrorist organization on the globe. This is like giving it to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the KKK.

I love how Rachel made all of these men by asking if Colin Powell's opinion makes him a "radical". They all got very quiet and didn't address her question. Who is this blowhard Murphy?

[suwanee4712]

@JonDavidson Yep. She shut them up with that. Not a one of them criticizing Carter responded to what she said because she blew their argument right out of the water. There are agendized people that want to try to equate Carter meeting with Hamas or whoever they want to criticize him for meeting with some kind of endorsement by Carter of these people. It's not and never has been. Someone has to do the dirty work of meeting with unsavory people that currently elected people can't.

[NioushaXD]

why are we talking about israel at all? it seems to me that the more pressing problem here is Murphy's complete lack of neck. seriously, look at the vid; the man has no neck. that is...so very, very disconcerting.

[eqsmooth]

Somebody got their clock cleaned and I know who cleaned it. It is a good thing to undermine American Foreign Policy. Carter created the only lasting Peace in the Middle East

[habbadou]

Maddow is a bald-faced Jewish hypocrite and bigot. She endlessly supports ISRASEL in spite of its apartheid-state like laws including outlawing of Jewish-non Jewish mixed marriages while she froths at the mouth over Bob Jones University.. TYPICAL KIKE!

[Dascorpio36]

GOD I love Rachel Maddow! Brilliant & backs up her views with facts.

[MrRonPaul2012]

No talking to the so-called enemy that the media; owned by basically one man tells us. If you keep the devil in the middle you'll always have misinformation. The international bankers love this trick. When they keep the hate alive, the fear lives on in our minds and we'll buy weapons. Of course our banker buddies will be there to finance both sides with the lies. Most of us are waking up.....too late maybe.

[TheStranglehold]

If Obama wants to have a successful foreign policy, he should listen to what Jimmy Carter wants to do, then do the opposite.

[HeyNonyNonymous]

Not a big fan of Carter's policy, but I should think it would be wise to listen to everyone and than make your own decisions.

[jjdward]

Good Idea!!!

[atlantoon]

well said!

[Pighood]

Ogreat....Queers For Palestine apologist Rachel Man Dow no longerneeds to look stupid...she just opens her rugburned maw & removes all doubt.

HOO-RAY

[whyzeee2]

Why do American homos love Islamic terrorists so much?

[Saladdin65]

fuck obama and fuck USA!

I hope Americans kill each other because of their financial crises!

Great thing to see you Americans in a financial crises!

damm idiots!

start killing each others!

[trinitymike]

Like the Muzz Turd World???

[erdanidi]

Wow. As an American, I harbor no ill will toward any foreign country or any citizen of those countries. I truly am sorry you feel that way.

[cffalk]

hamas supports obama , big suprise  a vote for obama is vote for the carter second term. maddow is smokin something

[AM429]

bullshit, does hamas support rahm emanuel? grow the fuck up.

[iquit4gud]

Dike!!

[jasaahae]

If you guys investigate and research carefully, the only people who criticize former President Jimmy Carter these days are the Jews.

The Jews are totally against Carter because he tells it the way it is regarding the Apartheid State of Israel.

Like I said, if you guys investigate this carefully, the only people who talk negatively against Carter are Jews.

Oh, and by the way, the Jews only represent 2% of the entire U.S. population, yet they seem to be dictating everything these days.

[trinitymike]

Too true...in 2004 26 of the 50 most influential Neocons in America were Jews.

[jasaahae]

26 seems to be low. I bet its more like 40 out of 50. Many jews nowadays also use anglo and christian names to hide their identities.

A good example is the Wynn casino in Las Vegas. The owner, Steve Wynn, is actually better known as Steve Weinberg. Mr. Wynn changed his name in order to hide his jewish identity and agenda.

Wake up America!

[afrircans1970]

Didn't Jimmy carter rescue those Americans taken hostage in Iran? Didn't Jimmy Carter consistently put forth foreign policy that brought respect to Americans in most everything he did? No one can claim the Carter's foreign policy was schizoid and jumbled. He was clear and concise. He was captivating in his authoritative use of fair play....Right?

Wrong. Carter was actually just as much a joke as the present President (however he could speak English).

[indyleftist]

Actually all the Iranian hostages got out, and of course Carter didn't overthrow their government and install a dictator that caused the crisis. He did keep us out of war with Iran

Infact out of any war

He negotiated a lasting Peace deal with Israel and Egypt.

And lets not forget that he was proven right that America should move towards energy independence

He's actually one of the few presidents in history not to have any major scandals against him

[BlueSun4886]

Actually, we will never know whether Carter would have successfully freed the hostages in Iran if candidate Reagan and his campaign manager Bill Casey weren't subborning Carter's hostage negotiator, Iranian banker Cyrus Hashemi to keep the hostages from being released before Reagan took office. Casey, through Hashemi's associate John Shaheen (also a close friend of Casey's) and an old friend of George H. W. Bush, Texan Harrel Tillman paid Hashemi $3 million to sabotage Carter's attempts...

[Kurtlane]

Gosh, what she says is exactly what was said about Hitler, both before and after he became Chancellor of Germany. Exchange Hitler for Hamas, and you get exactly the same stuff.

Hamas ought to be engages with bullets, bombs, shells and missiles. And nothing else. If that's how we deal with al-Qaeda, why not Hamas?

What? Oh, they kill specifically Jews, and al-Qaeda doesn't. OK, now I get it. That's why Hitler was also engaged by Colin Powells of his time.

[maunaowakea777]

Goddamn!!! u go girl!! I can't believe the lucidity coming from that beautiful woman. maybe she can run for senate or something.

Rachel is GREAT. So Smart and funny. I love to watch her go at those right wing nuts!

Rachel - 08

[Djronan1]

Rachel Maddow is awesome, hella sexy with that intellect and passion. She rocks!

[MJZ46]

This lady is everything that is wrong about & with the political landscape in America today. She does not understand the term,

"civil discourse", a divider if you will.

Mean spirited to boot. Never has she made any comments, statements, or proposals that attempt to unite. You would not follow her into a grocery store if you met her. She is an advocate, and enabler of bad, boorish, unacceptable, bad behavior, as well as a poster child for same title. Her hate filled

diatribes are boring.

[TheFilteredLight]

Think God for Rachel Maddow.

[gnr4evr06]

Fuck that dyke bitch. She needs to die.

[SHMUJEW]

heres an idea .....deport all arabs in israael and if they continue jew killing bomb them all out of existence....I will never pay for tv ever again with these lesbian homosexual "journalists"

[BlueSun4886]

shmujew,

Rachel Maddow has a degree in Public Policy from Stanford University. Then she was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship and studied at Oxford University, where she earned a PhD in Political Science. I think it is a wise choice for you to give up pay tv with all those "lesbian homosexual" journalists. It's obvious from the tenor (and the grammar and syntax, if I may use the words loosely) of your post that you probably don't understand most of what Maddow says, anyway.

[LazarusDurden]

Rachel Maddow is awesome, hella sexy with that intellect and passion. She rocks!

[Srhandel]

Jimmy Carter is slightly nuts. It's from all the strichnine he drank as a child in his crazy church. Isn't Hamas funded by Iran???? What is wrong with Rachel Maddow???? She should go to meet with Hamas terrorists since she loves them so much. She should bring Jeremiah Wright with her when she goes to be her "Spiritual Mentor". Please Rachel go meet with Hamas Leaders, you are so brilliant I'm sure they will stop bombing Israel if you tell them to just stop it.

[doctorpatil007]

Mr. Carter's recent initiative to bring about peace in the Middle East rather than praising him. History tells us that one can't achieve true lasting peace anywhere in the world without involving all parties concerned. The British learned that lesson in Northern Ireland. Initially they were reluctant to get involved with the IRA, calling them a terrorist group. Your attitude towards the problem is shortsighted and against peace in the Middle East.

[Srhandel]

doctor: Well, Obama has now commented and he said that Jimmy "peanutbrain" Carter should not have gone to speak with Hamas.

[BlueSun4886]

Srhandel, Hamas gets its primary funding from our "ally" Saudi Arabia ($12 million a year). It also gets funding from a worldwide network of charities and mosques. The US claims that Hamas gets $3 million a year from Iran, but many others doubt that, since Hamas is a radical Sunni offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Iran is a Shi'ite country. The radical Sunnis hate the Shi'ite "infidels" and see Iran as their deadly rival for leadership in the Islamic world.

[Srhandel]

MSNBC IS THE OBAMA CHEERLEADER NETWORK. ALSO, WHERE WERE TUCKER CARLSON & Joe Scarborough Last nite during the W.V. Primary? Has MSNBC FINALLY GOTTEN RID OF ALL THEIR CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATORS???? Except Pat Buchanan, who they keep in a cage most of the time..........

[BlueSun4886]

After their disgraceful lying, smearing, and general idiocy over the past decade, perhaps a cage would be the best place for them.

I have never understood why pundits who have gotten it so dramatically wrong so many times - particularly about the Bush administration and the war in Iraq - should ever be invited back to continue their record of failed predictions, distortions, and blind ideology.

[chmarie12]

Passionately desiring to keep the occupied territories, we developed two judicial systems: one - progressive, liberal - in Israel; and the other - cruel, injurious - in the occupied territories. In effect, we established an apartheid...

(Michael Ben-Yair)

[Question1981]

Rachel Maddow is cool, but Air America is a Zionist organization.

[RenShiWu]

Here we go, typical 9/11 conspiranoic talking about "Zionists" i.e. Jews. Antisemite. You know that 9/11 conspiracy theories are insane because the far left and the far right (while agreeing on almost nothing else) believe it. Ditto anti-Israelism/anti-Zionism/an­tisemitism.

[jln195399]

Good for you Rachel!!!!

[MJZ46]

Jimmy Carter is a perfect example of not growing old gracefully, and fading into that

good night. He is an embarassment to us all as Americans, and excerabates the tenuous

mid-east situation. Sadly he only encourages

more terrorist acts against all of humanity,

including their own women & children. President Carter is irrelevant. Ms. Maddow

is a non starter with no original thoughts,

only mean spirited, bullying, harsh rhetoric.

A divider if you will, with her own personal

agenda.

[doctorpatil007]

Christ said blessed are the peace makers who shall be called the children of God. History tells us that true lasting peace can't be achieved without getting all parties involved. The British learned that lesson in Ireland. As you may recall that the British were initially refusing to negotiate with the IRA call them a terrorist organization. Carter is truly a man of God.

[RenShiWu]

You can't make peace between two irreconcilable positions. Hamas wants to destroy Israel, Israel wants not to be destroyed. The IRA wants to eliminate N.I., Unionists don't want Ulster to be eliminated. The IRA hasn't reformed, and the situation in Northern Ireland has fallen to the extremists. And "men of God" don't aid evil men. In Carter's case, that would be Kim Il Sung, Yasir Arafat, Daniel Ortega, Fidel Castro, and now Hamas.

[doctorpatil007]

If that is the attitude of the USA then there will never be peace in the world.

[JSB103]

Clearly also what is needed in Colombia. All parties in the conflict must be legitimized for the conflict to come to a negotiated end. Anything short of that and the conflict it will continue for another 60 years.

[UnshakableAngst]

She should be congratulated for speaking the truth in the face of such blatant mainstream propaganda. Hamas is NOT a terrorist group, they are the democratically elected government of Palestine. It's completely irrational for anyone to believe that peace could be negotiated without taking with Hamas.

[RenShiWu]

The Nazis were democratically elected, then they scotched representative democracy in favor of fascist dictatorship. Hamas intends to establish sharia law (theocratic government) in an Islamic state that will supplant Israel. There will be no more democracy in Israel/Palestine, just like there's no democracy in Iran and Saudi Arabia.

[RenShiWu]

"Hamas is NOT a terrorist group." Any other inanities that you'd like to offer up?  Maybe the Mafia is NOT a criminal group, or the NBA is NOT a basketball group?

[sonny3988]

The United States invaded and bombed a country for no legitimate purpose. Every reason that was given has been proved to be untrue. Yet no one calls this unjustified ivasion a "terrorist act" or the United States a country that engages in terrorist activities. I guess when people have american military uniforms its not terrorism.

[RenShiWu]

It was justified from 1998 onward as Iraq refused to abide by the weapons agreements it had signed in 1991. Even hostile foreign intelligence agencies believed Iraq had illegal weapons programs. And even an America-hater such as yourself can't reconcile anything America has done with any understanding of terrorism. Muslims have been killing Muslims and non-Muslims in Iraq utilizing terrorism against America's efforts to stop them.

[Clemetsson]

Jimmy Carter is a traitor.

So is Rachel "Err America" Maddow.

[RenShiWu]

Jimmy Carter couldn't convince America to vote for him a second time, but he can convince Hamas to give up the only reason for its existence: to destroy Israel and establish an Islamic state? Sheer delusion on his part and on the part of his defenders, like the fool Maddow. Obviously Arafat wasn't reliable. He was a terrorist. Bill Clinton came to that conclusion, Bush always held that conclusion, only Carter and Maddow are still in the dark (or don't care as is probably the case with C.).

[muslimwhisper]

same old sam old nothing changed

peanut head carter go home drown you sorry ass in billy beer

[simonesimone2]

go rachel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ayzmani]

This is like sending Goofy to meet with Al-Queada. JUST DOESNT WORK, might actually fuck things up...

[ayzmani]

Jimmy Carter is a MORON. He has a serious freaking Dementia problem. Yes Hamas has to be engaged but not by someone like Carter who automatically has an anti-Israel bias...

[rackoon777]

What a ridiculous bunch of orchestrated or pre-programmed puppets. Seriously, what is the problem if Jimmy Carter is genuienly trying to find a solution for the long lasting mid east problem. She is totally right to be astonished by the others reactions. Those reactions are propaganda based on thin air.

[palestine8210]

clear propaganda program, 4 against 1 .

[Yickth]

Amazing that folks don't get the idea that meeting with people, having open dialog, trying to find out just what is behind the struggle is better than isolation and eventual war. It's as if the idea of discovery has somehow eluded anyone who opposes Carter's actions. It's like listening to children (the ones who think they already know everything by the age of eleven).

[simonesimone2]

rachel ruuuuuuuuuuuules!!!

[MJZ46]

The sad thing here is that Jimmy Carter will go down in history as the worst President the USA has ever had. He weakened this great nation,& nears the end of a long life, as a skewed caricature with words like "your excellency", when he met another great leader of the FREE world, Fidel Castro! Now Hamas! As for the hate filled, far left loon, Rachel Maddow, you folks would not follow her into a grocery store if you met her. Her comments & opinions are proportional to the ratings of Air America.

[stew4lunch]

The kindest thing to happen to Jimmeh Carter would have been for him to pass away peacefully January 21, 1977, saving any honor he may have had.

[Scyllax]

Jimmy Carter was partially screwed by circumstances. The endless stream of metaphorical piss being directed on him and any other Democratic president of the last century by the assholes of the Political Right is a wonder to behold. Particularly when I note that after Theodore Roosevelt, the last Republican president who wasn't a moron or a fascist or both, the White House has been adorned with Harding, Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes.

[stew4lunch]

having a midol moment, huh

[Scyllax]

Jimmy Carter is a private citizen. He can meet with whomever he wants.

How many presidents met with Yasir Arafat when he was alive?

[stew4lunch]

How many met with him when he was dead?

[Scyllax]

Jimmy Carter is a private citizen. He can meet with whomever he wants.

How many presidents met with Yasir Arafat when he was alive?

[Askurenemy]

well done Rachel! The 4 stuttering idiots didnt see that one coming, because actually talking with a US/Israel enemy is such a foreign concept..

[rickrudd]

Any form of "humanitarian" work that Hamas performs is only to facilitate the rearing of more and more mindless lemmings to murder for their cause.

[Limeteaser]

Kind of like the U.S in Iraq huh?

[Limeteaser]

Kind of like the U.S in Iraq huh?

[thunderwillow]

She is correct on the things she said, I wonder what the hell the nigger is saying.

[k3v1n47]

You're a dick

[guyanakoolaid]

Maddow delivers smart intelligent debate. Youtuber neocons dismiss it with childish insults. Surprise.

[hotdawg07]

Has everyone forgotten that Jimmy Carter won a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for conducting PEACE TALKS in the MIDDLE EAST??????????

[stew4lunch]

Algore won a nobel peace prize for a global warming commercial. Yasser Arafat won a nobel prize for...for what? Murderer Le Duc Tho of North Vietnam. Kofi Annan, UN embezzler and nepotist. The Heissman Trophy is far more meaningful than the npp.

[gondor124]

For anyone daring to speak to any enemy of Isr@el; Watch out!...Isr@el owns the corporate press and telecommunications of Murka.

[isaacson21]

Americans wake up ! a zionist lobby is directing the media and lying to you!

[wolviex2008]

Why doesn't she where big boots and a plaid shirt with a hammer and sickle on it? Might as well.

[sradss1]

Rachel Maddow isn't very bright... It's pretty clear that she's further left than a friggin' bolshevik... Thus, anything that comes out of her mouth is worth about as much as the toilet paper I wipe my ass with... *lol*... Obama is a joke, too... Then again, so is the majority of the Democratic Party these days...

[snarkwaupaca]

She has made a lot of right wing folks look like fools. So If she is "not very bright" what is Scarborough?

[aumwithy]

/watch?v=3wW5NhP5RNg

[reprehensor]

Excellent. Rachel is 10x smarter than her "talking point" compadres.

[getplaning]

Who negotiated the only lasting peace between Israel and any of its enemies?

Jimmy Carter.

The man who dares to call Israel what it is, an apartheid state. Hated by the AIPAC crowd and the right wing, who froth and sneer at the least mention of his name.

[cobywankenoby]

@getplaning clinton negotiated peace between isreal and jordan and that has been very positive

[lillytwo]

We really reach when someone's overtures for peace instead of war is looked upon as a bad thing by America and Israel Government.

Thank you President Carter.

[Ed76638]

My take on this is that Jimmy Carter knows better than all these politicans and talking heads when it comes to the Middle East. He actually brokered peace between Israel and Egypt. He knows excatly what he's doing, and those who are complaing should shut the fuck up.

[jlq3d3]

Rachel Maddow was completly irrational and tried to play both sides of the fense. Her whole premise was that it is mainstream for an self appointed diplomat with poor foreign policy results meeting with avowed terrorists because Colin Powell said it is good to engage. Her argument is so weak, and she comes off as a pompous jerk.

[RandWasAnAsshole]

Weak argument? You mean like the threat of a mushroom cloud from Iraq or Iraq has WMD or the world is safer since Bush invaded Iraq or that the use of torture by Americans is a good thing or the suspension of Habeas Corpus or spying on Americans without a warrant.... You're an idiot. And THAT is a STRONG argument.

[lulupoole]

I live in Ga. & jimmy carter is a disgrace to Ga. and the nation.

he should crawl back in his hole in plains

[boomac62]

Jimmy Carter is a hero to the world. hamas is the ELECTED government...get over it. Living in Sumnter countty for many years I know you do not speak for most in the state, is imagine you speak for the soccer crowd near atlanta.

PEACE to all

[dozdolt44]

I said it once, I'll say it again. Rachel Maddow is razor sharp and cuts through these guys like warm butter.

[loya2]

thank you Jimmy Carter

[brghtsd1]

she's expecting a lot from these people to actually be addressing the facts...I don't think I've ever been as consistently disappointed in "news coverage" as I've been in this campaign season.

[themightylex]

Rachel is waaaaay to thoughtful and factual for the standard punditry squawkers! Her reasoning just confuses their sensationalist media minds.

[bebop54]

haaahaaa
