Honestly, I see it as relatively minor. I fully admit to not having done any research or having any sort of data, but when someone is dismissed for violating the policy, we seem to hear about it in the media. I don't recall hearing of that many. But truthfully, I've never liked the policy established by....well, you know....and have never voiced support for it.

Anyway...historical revisionism? Do I really need to list his blunders and outright idiocy while in office? Even now his continued diplomatic efforts where they are not sanctioned by the US government are an embarrassment, as well as his recent book full of lies regarding the Palestinian and Isreali conflicts.

No historical revisionism necessary.

Is he in your top 3? :rolleyes:

A bookstore? Color me confused once again...

I think we're supposed to conclude that a picture in close proximity to another picture in a store window denotes some kind of connection.

I think we're supposed to conclude that a Jewish group is not surprised to see an Arab bookstore grouping a Jimmy Carter book with Mein Kampf. I am not surprised that such a group is thus not surprised.

I think Tram has just committed a pictorial Godwinism.

Ich bin krank und mude. Tut mir leid aber mein Deautsch ist sehr shleck.

Without knowing what the book in the middle is I can't make a fair judgement of the booksellers intent in that particular display.

Because I'm pretty sure I can buy both Mein Kampf and Carter's book at my local Barnes & Noble.
