Seemed he was making a pitch for socialized medicine and just USING Terri for his ends.
With Jesse, always follow the money. But, don't expect the IRS to audit this faker.
I called and did as you suggested. Give credit where credit is due. Maybe people who would otherwise not have paid any attention will sit up and take notice.
; )
It is odd that he is coming out for Terri now but at this point I'd take all the help we can get for her.
Sorry, but I can't imagine a possible world where I would call Jackson's people to thank him for another self-aggrandizing effort designed to keep him in the spotlight. What's going on with you, churchillbuff? What are you thinking?
Maybe Jesse saw something wrong in that they were giving a so called vegetable morphine. Whatever his motives I applaud him for coming forward. I only wish he and other democrats would have done that when there was a chance to save Terri.
I will not be calling Jesse Jackson to thank him (and thereby encouraging him to continue to "mug" for publicity) for interjecting himself into the Schiavo case. Below is an excerpt from a National Review Online column dated 3/28/05 by Jay Nordlinger:
In his New York Sun column, John P. Avlon quoted the Rev. Jesse Jackson, preaching/speechifying in the Riverside Church. "Whose god is God?" said Jackson. "There is a profound theological debate in our nation tonight about the nature and character of God. . . . Today the Congress reconvenes to save a woman — Terri Schiavo — from starving to death, but then votes to starve millions every day. Whose god is God? They fight to save the fetus, and then starve the babies. Whose god is God?"
Reported Avlon, "Enthusiastic applause rolled through the pews . . ." No doubt, no doubt.
Jackson further said, "There is a fascist attack on civil rights and civil liberties. We cannot be silent."
Jesse Jackson is too late to the table to be believed. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing and will get no thanks from me. As for the Schindlers, who can blame them for accepting help from whomever they think might help save their daughter? Certainly not me. It is, however, shameful on "Reverend" Jackson's part.
But, since when does he care about shamelessness?

If he felt all he said with sincerity, he would have been there several days ago before she reached this desperate level of starvation & dehydration. This is an empty gesture, and one for himself...as ALL his actions have been over the years.
Jesse Jackson doesn't have a moral bone in his body. That anyone would fall for his act is astounding.
I've reviled Jesse Jackson as much as anybody, and probably more than most. But when someone does the right thing, no matter what the motives, I'm ready to applaud their doing the right thing. I'm also calling Jackson's organization to say thanks.
Good idea,whatever his motives for getting involved,atleast he is. Better than sitting on the side lines,wringing your hands and saying I have done everything I can.

He also firmly supports Michael Jackson. How do you reconcile those two issues?
Slob is nothing but an ambulance chaser.
You mean "Day late & dollar short" Jackson?
called that number and entered J-A-C-K-S-O-N for option 2, to 'enter by name' and the answer came back as 'too many names match that spelling'! ha!! talk about nepotism!! ;-)
Anyway, I did it again with one more letter (J) and got a Jesalyn or something like that ... at this hour all I could do was leave a message and asked her to forward it.
Told them that I have agreed with nothing that Mr Jackson has done over the years but now I am calling to thank him from the bottom of my heart for what he is doing for Terri Schiavo, a woman that has every right to live that we do. I applaud his efforts at the Florida Legislature and pray that he is successful.
