The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson,a conservative, made some contentious statements on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” on Thursday. In addition to lambasting Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for inserting race into Trayvon Martin’s death and George Zimmerman’s subsequent trial, he called the 17-year-old shooting victim a “thug.” Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Clashes With Piers Morgan, Lambastes Sharpton and Jackson as Race Hustlers and Poverty Pimps and Calls Trayvon Martin a Thug
The exchange began with Peterson claiming that race played no role in the highly-publicized tragedy.
“This case was not about race at all and what happened – you have the race-hustlers and poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and others who turned it into a race issue in order to gain power and wealth,” he charged.
Peterson also targeted President Barack Obama, calling his past comment about Martin (“You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”) “insane.”
These statements, he said, were intended to “incite the anger of black Americans and others.”
“If the situation that happened with Trayvin and George had been the same, yes … I imagine that the same outcome would have been the same,” he said. “George Zimmerman would have done whatever it took to protect himself. It didn’t matter to George Zimmerman the color of the man.”
The interview became contentious when Peterson proclaimed that “Trayvon Martin was a thug.” Morgan fervently disagreed and took exception to the fact that the faith leader said that everyone, including the television host and Martin’s parents, knew this assertion to be true.

I normally skip over this hyper blown story but this one finally had the ring of truth to it.
How is it that at the link one Billy Hallowell is credited as the author
of this piece, yet here on this thread you have credited yourself
as the author? This is very confusing. Are you involved in an identity
theft scam or are you simply trying to take credit for the work of another?

Yes, but you truncated the headline to the extent that it is totally misleading as to the content of the story. Please correct it; I’m sure you’ll fine more people wanting to read the article.
I have alerted the appropriate authorities regarding your
theft of copyrighted material, your plagiarism and your
blatant theft of an author’s work.
Currently I’m looking up your ISP identifier so that appropriate action can be taken against you.
Hard evidence that Piers Morgan does not deserve to be listened to.
At the risk of repeating myself...
This is absolutely the best interview about the Zimmerman fiasco i have seen, by the one and only Jesse Lee Peterson! He has just the right words in the right order with the right attitude. Do you agree?
And the most politically incorrect thank the good lord.
ISP identifier located and now being sent to the SEVERAL appropriate authorities.
Claiming authorship, indeed.
Well..
Thank you and I don’t post much anymore, but I was compelled to put this out there. Thanks
Translation: Spoke the truth...
I love the work Jesse Peterson has done and continues to do, but it seems to me that he has lost some of his fire or passion.
I remember him being soo much more articulate and passionate when discussing these issues.
Maybe it’s me ?
Either way, keep up the good work Jesse.
Oops, sorry - creepy assed crackerette
If Saint Trayvon’s dad didn’t know that his son was a thug, why was his first phone call trying to locate his missing son to juvenile hall? Maybe he shouldn’t have let that slip out during the early interviews.
Ah, you’ve had it fixed.
Too late. I’ve screen captured the evidence of your theft and fraud.
Thank you Ray, my sentiments exactly
PUH-LEEEZE
That was really sad. Jesse Lee Peterson came off like a loon.
Piers needed to get back some of the cred he lost from the Robert Zimmerman Jr smack down.
Thank you for posting that link too. A thug is a thug is a thug...
