A longtime adviser to Jimmy Carter has resigned his position as a Carter Center fellow over the former president’s new book. Emory University professor Kenneth Stein wrote in a letter to Mr. Carter that the title of the book — “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” is “too inflammatory to even print.” Stein — who accompanied Mr. Carter to the Middle East three times — says of the book:
“It is replete with factual errors, copied materials not cited, superficialities, glaring omissions and simply invented segments. Being president doesn’t give one the prerogative to bend the facts to reach a prescribed reality.”
And this is a fellow liberal writing.. how much more damning a review can you get? But you watch, now. This book of his will be proclaimed as a great work, and Carter himself as a visionary by the usual suspects. This would seem in the same vein as the leftist defense of Frisch, as I mentioned earlier today. The same moral debasement, the same disconnction from facts, the same cloudy eyed indifference to the consequences of their position.
