"We must choose a civilized policy of rational conversation."

Oh, is that what he's calling it now?

The Consummate Asskisser and Milker of the Moment for Face Time, Jesse Jackson.

[the invisib1e hand]

y'know, if they offed Chavez now, it would be real thriller trying to figure out whodunnit.

[Cincinna]

Giving aid and comfort to self proclaimed America hater and Castro lover Chavez.
No news here.
Dem "leaders" and "spokespeople" pushing the Dem Party further and further to the Left. That is the way elections get lost.

These days, hypocritical left wing demagogues need to look out for each other.

So what's Ted up to right now? Back in Kennedybunkport trying to get some girl 1/4th his age drunk?

[M. Espinola]

That swine lending support to that other swine!

My question is: While jesse is still embroiled in his permanent-pout because he was not "heir-apparent" to MLK, and while jesse can get untold busloads of protesters to show up at any given location to pad his own pockets, then WHY didn't he arrange for some of those buses to go down to New Orleans and help evacuate the poor people who are streaming into the Superdome and other places...the majority of whom are poor black people?

Why is that jesse?

"NEW, SOPHISTICATED PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN AIMED AT U.S.
...WHERE MARX MEETS FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAM"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A significant part of the groundwork for Chavez's propaganda offensive can be seen in the visit of Rev. Jessie Jackson's three-day visit to Venezuela in late August. At the end of his sojourn, Jackson publicly took issue with U.S. statements that the Chavez government is a source of "instability" in Latin America, and stated that he found "no evidence" to support U.S. concerns, and urged efforts "to reduce…tensions."

With this declaration, one of the most prominent liberal activists in the U.S. sided with a foreign leader against the official policy of the United States. Rev. Jackson's statements would be read and considered by millions in the U.S., and Chavez could now claim that he and his government have support among some of the power elite in the U.S.

Rev. Jackson and his Rainbow Coalition organization are based in Chicago, which is becoming a center of pro-Chavez activity. Shortly following Rev. Jackson's Venezuelan trip, a last minute contribution from the government of Venezuela and the Venezuelan-controlled Citgo petroleum corporation, enabled Chicago's Puerto Rican Labor Day festival to take place. The City of Chicago and the County of Cook, where Chicago is located, has just concluded an agreement to use voting machines and election machine software produced by a firm with reportedly close connections to the Venezuelan government.

Chicago will also be the starting point on October 13, 2005 for the six-city tour of "Venezuela Matters," a group of "business leaders, musical artists, and academics" accompanied by "empowered Venezuelans" touting the wonders of the Marxist Chavez regime."
