Jimmy Carter, along with being an anti-semite and apologist for Islam just cannot seem to keep his mouth shut about things he knows nothing about. Being a self-proclaimed expert on Palestine and Israel, he sees fit to throw his two peanuts worth into the ring about what the Muslim Brotherhood is...or isn't. I have never liked the man, and with each passing remark he sinks lower into his own self-important world.
Read this sitting down, as the level of stupidity exceeds even Carters own past actions. He should stick to building houses.

It was the first time Carter has spoken publicly about recent developments in the Middle East, including the uprising in Egypt that led to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's resignation. Since the successful uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, citizens in several other countries in the region — including Iran, Libya and Bahrain — also have staged protests in hopes of creating revolutions, demanding dramatic changes to government.
"My guess is the (Egyptian) military leaders don't want to give up their political influence or power," Carter said. But the military has seen what the demonstrators have done and will most likely submit to their demands, he said.
"The demonstrators will not accept anything less than honest, fair and open elections," he said, adding that his foundation, the Carter Center, will be as "involved as possible" in bringing about successful Egyptian elections in September.
(.)"I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming (Egyptian) political situation and the evolution I see as most likely," Carter said. "They will be subsumed in the overwhelming demonstration of desire for freedom and true democracy."
Not just clueless but dangerously misguided.
