This morning, Drudge linked to a WND article that quoted Carter being a raving anti-Semite:

To say we are skeptical about this article does a disservice to the concept of rationality and doubt. We are skeptical about whether extra-terrestrials have made contact with human beings. That's a correct use of the word "skeptical". Our opinion about this article is closer to what we think about magical fairy dust that would allow us to finish our thesis on time: sure, it'd be convenient if it existed, but it doesn't.

If Carter is anti-Semitic, then it's because decades of old-school Jews Killed Christ evangelicalism has metastasized into a staggering indifference to Jewish sensibilities, causes, and arguments. It's not just that he's a doddering old fool - he's a doddering old fool who seems deeply suspicious of anything that most Jews say. But come on - he's not throwing people off of committees because their names sound too Jewish. Don't be stupid.

That said, he's got one of the loudest megaphones on the planet - so when his rhetoric becomes indistinguishable from that of the New Anti-Semites, the relative exuberance or latency of his anti-Semitism becomes kind of beside the point.
