k's Carter character assassination comes from a book called "The Real
Jimmy Carter", published by Regnery Publishing, the same company that
gave us that other icon of right-wing investigate journamalism, "Unfit
For Command" (the swift boat expose on John Kerry).

The source used by the Kludge Report credits the following for the
information about our illustrious ex-president:
Bourne, Peter G. Jimmy Carter: A Comprehensive Biography from Plains to
Post-Presidency. (NY: Lisa Drew/Scribner,1997), pp. 192-3.
Tim Russert Show. Saturday, November 5, 2005. CNBC. An identical
account is found in his book, Our Endangered Values, p. 79.

klg said:
" Also forgotten was Carter s statement that he was proud to have
egregationist Lester Maddox as his lieutenant governor in 1970, calling
him the essence of the Democratic Party. The same Lester Maddox
who refused to attend the funeral Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.
klg's sources are showing their usual level of accuracy. Lester Maddox
was NOT Carter's Lt. Governor, he was Carter's predecessor as Governor of
Georgia.
Also George wallace saw the light after his attempted assasination in 1972
and won the respect of black voters, in his last election he was elected
with a majority of the black vote.
klg's "sources" don't bother to mention that the first thing Carter did
upon becoming president was to name his friend Andrew Young as the first
black ambassador to the United Nations. Nor do klg's sources mention that
Carter spends much of his time these days in the poorest countries in
Africa with Habitat for Humanity building houses for the impoverished.

There's a way to *output* several. The "jot" command (but on Grex you have to
specify /usr/bin/jot because /usr/local/bin/jot is part of the Orville Write
package and comes first in the $PATH). !man jot

Re #45: don't blame KLG's "sources". Consider the conveyor of those lies as

Who is LYING (again)??? RW and Curl or Infoplease.com?? (I put my
money on the first two characters.)
"Maddox, Lester G., 1915 , U.S. public official, governor of Georgia
(1967 71), b. Atlanta. He achieved national notoriety in 1964 when he
drove African Americans from his restaurant in defiance of federal
civil-rights legislation and then closed the establishment rather than
desegregate it. Elected (1966) governor as an avowed segregationist
with the support of the Ku Klux Klan, he was unable to stem the tide of
integration. Although prevented by the state constitution from
succeeding himself as governor, HE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ELECTED LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR (1971 75). He lost the 1974 primary election for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination."
"Carter, Jimmy (James Earl Carter, Jr.), 1924 , 39th President of the
United States (1977 81), b. Plains, Ga, grad. Annapolis, 1946. Carter
served in the navy, where he worked with Admiral Hyman G. Rickover in
developing the nuclear submarine program. Resigning his commission
(1953) after his father's death, he ran his family's peanut farm, which
he built into a prosperous business. In 1962 he was elected as a
Democrat to the first of two terms in the Georgia Senate. HE RAN
UNSUCCESSFULLY FOR GOVERNOR IN 1966, THEN SUCCEEDED IN 1970, replacing
Lester Maddox."
And, the information previously posted shows that Carter, if he was not
actually a segregationist, was willing to play to those bases
sentiments in order to be elected. Is that the sort of person you want
to be a "leader" of the Democrats?" (Oops. Silly question.)

klg I lived in georgia at the time, Carter's lt. governor was Zell "give'em
hell" Miller, who by the way Carter now calls a traitor. Lester Maddox lost
the 1974 gubernatorial primary BECAUSE CARTER ENDORSED HIS OPPONENT, George
Busbee, who subsequently served two terms as governor.

Keep shoveling, RW. I guess the Biographical Directory of the U.S.
Congress is also lying:
MILLER, Zell Bryan, (1932 - )
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Years of Service: 2000-2005
Party: Democrat
MILLER, Zell Bryan, a Senator from Georgia; born in Young Harris,
Georgia, on February 24, 1932; graduated Young Harris College 1951;
served in U.S. marine corps 1953-1956; graduated University of Georgia
1957, Masters degree 1958; businessman; professor of political science
and history; mayor of Young Harris 1959-1960; Georgia state senator
1961-1964; member, state Board of Pardons and Paroles 1973-1975;
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA 1975-1991; Governor of Georgia 1991-
1999; appointed on July 24, 2000, as a Democrat to the United States
Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Paul Coverdell; took
the oath of office on July 27, 2000; elected as a Democrat to the
United States Senate in a November 2000 special election for the
remainder of the term ending January 3, 2005; was not a candidate for
election in 2004; member, American Battle Monuments Commission, 2005-.
Are you absolutely certain that Busbee won because of Carter's
endorsement, or are you confusing cause and effect with coincidence
once again???

My research (in Kestenbaum's "Political Graveyard" shows that KLG is
correct. Lester Maddox was Lieutenant Governor of Georgia for the same
period that Jimmy Carter was Governor. In Georgia these are independent
offices and not elected on a joint ticket. The only duty of the LG of
Georgia at the time was to preside over the Georgia Senate. Whatever was
the (uneasy) relation between Carter and Maddox, Carter nevertheless:
"Four years after his defeat, Carter ran for Governor again and won. As
Governor of Georgia, Carter worked hard to heal the state's racial
divisions, announcing in his inaugural address that "the time for racial
discrimination is over." It was an unprecedented statement for a southern
governor, but Carter made good on his words. He increased the number of
African American state employees by 40 percent and hung portraits of
Martin Luther King Jr. and other notable black Georgians in the state
capitol. He equalized the funding of schools in rich and poor districts of
the state, and created new educational facilities for prisoners and the
developmentally disabled."
(http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/car0bio-1)
So any attempt to associate the segregationist policies of Maddox with
Carter is an enormous lie.

and since klg openly supports many racist politicians, such as Jesse Helms
and Rick Santorum, I find him highly hypocritical to be using that to
criticize Carter. if carter was republican, and had been racist which he's
not, klg couldn't have card less.
