For anyone who doubted Carter’s love of Reds, Islamists and people who kill Jews his latest foray into politics should remove such doubts from your mind:

NEW YORK CITY — Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.

Deanna Congileo, Carter’s press secretary, confirmed in an e-mail to FOXNews.com that Carter will be in the Mideast in April. Pressed for comment, Congileo did not deny that the former president is considering visiting Meshal.

“President Carter is planning a trip to the Mideast next week; however, we are still confirming details of the trip and will issue a press release by the end of this week,” wrote Congileo. “I cannot confirm any specific meetings at this point in time.”

Meshal, who lives in Syria to avoid being arrested by the Israeli government, leads Hamas from his seat in Damascus, where he is a guest of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

The State Department has designated Hamas a “foreign terrorist organization,” and some groups hold Meshal personally responsible for ordering the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack once said of the prospect of meeting with Meshal, “That’s not something that we could possibly conceive of.”

Some Carter critics called the latest reports typical of the ex-president.

Typical indeed. Carter’s history of Marxist driven Jew Hate has been well documented here, and I’m not the only person to have noticed. The cat killing bastard has finally stepped over a line now that even the left will have a problem with.

After all he’s pulling this stunt, as Hot Air points out, after having Carter all but announced an official endorsement of Obama, a man whose associations make his feelings on Jews suspect. Obama’s campaign has had problems keeping the Jew haters out, so this couldn’t come at a worse time. Carter’s actions, after his support for Obama, will be added to an overall narrative that will work against him in the general election.

It should also put to rest all the kindly old man nonsense that shields Carter from serious criticism. Carter has chosen a side in the clash of civilizations, and it is the side of apocalyptic nihilism.
