Idiot legislator wants human rights center defunded to punish Carter

Sue Myrick is a right-wing extremist from North Carolina who was first elected to Congress in the America-hating wave of 1994.

Typical of the brand of Far Right Republicans who people Congress, Myrick spouts off against Jimmy Carter's efforts to negotiate Mideast peace. Myrick wants to revoke the former President's passport and cut off all funds for the Carter Center, a humanitarian organization named for the former leader of the free world.

So Sue Myrick thinks defunding a human rights center just because it's named after Jimmy Carter is supposed to make the world a better place? You're a kook, Sue.

Although Hamas has been designated as terrorist by the U.S. government, the government of Syria has also been deemed terrorist. Yet a Republican member of Congress - California's miserable Darrell Issa - has met with Syrian government officials. If Carter is accused of legitimizing Hamas by involving its officials in peace efforts, then aren't the Republicans legitimizing the Syrian government by meeting with it?

Why isn't Myrick demanding the passports of Darrell Issa and other Republican congresscritters be revoked? If these GOP lawmakers ever do have their passports taken away, hopefully it will be while they're overseas so they can't get back into America.
