Oh, please. Carter can be an idiot (which is why he was an awful president), but he is not the only one who has said stupid things about horrible people. I am sure that Nixon and Kissinger slobbered all over the bloody hands of Mao and Chou* during the toasts while visiting China. Ronald Reagan praised all sorts of thugs during the Cold War -- and paid a "heal the wounds" visit to a cemetary in Germany that (whoops!) had a section for the SS. GHWB praised Ferdinand Marcos for his committment to democracy when he was veep.
And as for the Jewish problem, every new release from the tapes shows Richard Nixon wins the prize among recent presidents for that one, closely followed by GHWB, whose secretary of state once said "fuck the Jews -- they don't vote for us."
*Yes, yes -- speaking of mass killers, FDR had nice things to say about good old Uncle Joe, too.

Adams said mean things about King George, but then he changed his tune and said nice things.
