Plitnick takes on Planet Dershowitz anti-Carter smears
Posted on February 3 2007 by Cecilie Surasky under Alan Dershowitz , Foundation for the Defense of Democracies , Jimmy Carter.We reported earlier on the story being peddled by the neoconservative Foundation
for the Defense of Democracies that Carter was bought and paid for by Arab donors. For anyone who knows anything about the “Nobel peace prize winning Habitat for Humanity promoting Sunday school teaching” ex-president, that theory makes absolutely perfect sense.
Of course he wrote Palestine: Peace not Apartheid for the 2.7% of Carter Center donations that come from Arab donors. That is SO like Carter to sell his soul just so he can help a few trees in Africa. (74% of the 2.7% goes towards environmental programs in Africa and elections in Palestine, the rest goes to the Carter Center’s endowment and building costs.)
Now Alan Dershowitz is just past midway through his shameful 6-part magnum opus, Ex President for Sale. Run, don’t walk over to my colleague Mitchell Plitnick’s thorough fisking of “Planet Dershowitz” on his blog, The Third Way. Mitchell’s series is a keeper.

How dare Dershowitz critize Carter! Publicly, yet. Dersh is, like, totally muzzling Carter. It’s all Carter can do to get a late-night national network appearance or a major book deal, these days. That dastardly Dersh and his magical criticism-is-silence powers of muzzledom!

I have for a long time suspected that Dershowitz is little better than a hired gun himself. I laughed really hard the night he appeared on Larry King live in behalf of OJ Simpson, where he claimed that the LAPD could learn a lot about how to deai with racist cops from the NYPD because things like that never happened in NYC! That was before the guy was shot 41 times over a wallet but they already had a horrible civil rights rep at the time.
