Jimmy Carter Screws Up Again Part 2
Messing up our country was not enough for Jimmy Carter. Now he goes around messing up other countries by supporting their corrupt dictatorships. A bunch of Ethiopians in Minnesota gave him what for the other day. Gateway Pundit reports:
The ex-president Jimmy Carter signed books at an Edina, MN bookstore as angry Ethiopians protested outside:
Carter, who since leaving the presidency has worked to further human rights and democracy, was criticized by a crowd of at least 40 Ethiopians protesting outside the store for his involvement with that country's elections this year.Carter helped monitor the elections, with his Carter Center staff authoring a generally favorable report of the process, though it singled out problems and condemned post-election violence. The protesters, many of them Ethiopian Americans, urged Carter to take a more aggressive stand against the leaders of Ethiopia.
After the election in Ethiopia and after Jimmy Carter had flown back to the states, several hundred Ethiopians took to the streets to protest for democracy. Police opened fire on crowds in Addis Ababa in June, killing at least 37 people and heralding a massive crackdown on the opposition. Fresh violence erupted on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, leaving at least 46 people dead.
I had forgotten, but I had posted about Jimmy Carter messing up Ethiopia back in May here.
