Oh, but don't you know, that isn't bigotry, he is simply trying to be inclusive and have "diversity" on the panel. Besides, that was so long ago, and the statute of limitations has run on it. Plus, it was probably some of his Hillbilly roots coming out, which he eventually eliminated in the process of becoming Saint Jimma!
I'm going to wait this one out and see what Carter says.
Possibly, he wanted the Holocaust Memorial Council to have more influence over non-Jews and thought that including more non-Jews on the Council would achieve this aim.
But I do wonder after some of the statements in his book (based on reports, for I've not read the book).

You're the soul of generosity, Jeffery. Or should I say the Seoul of generosity?
I actually refrained from linking to another story about Carter because I thought there might be other (remotely) plausible explanations. But after this story, and the article from Kenneth Stein about the lacunae and distortions in Carter's new book, I don't know whether I feel like giving him the benefit of the doubt anymore.
I do believe that if he were a Republican, no one -- or at least no one in big media and poltics -- would be giving him the benefit of the doubt.
But you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.
P.S. I should add that I don't read World Net Daily, because I don't necessarily trust it as a source. But the source for this article is named, and he appears to have very good credentials.
He *could* be lying, though it's hard to think of a reason why he would, or Carter might have had non-bigoted reasons for not wanting "too many Jews" on the Holocaust Memorial Council. So I, too, am interested to see how Carter will respond.
Well ... I voted for Carter in 1980 (but wouldn't now), and I sprang from Democrat roots, so I generally give Democrats the benefit of the doubt (except for the crazies in the Party).
Also, I nearly always vote Democrat in local (Salem, Arkansas, Fulton County) elections because I'm voting for my friends and family, but on the big, national elections ... I'm independent.
