The booksigning held at Barnes & Noble was a really big success! There was standing room only as Rev. Peterson spoke about his life and his discoveries that led him to write SCAM! If you have never heard Rev. Peterson speak, you simply must make it priority. He never fails to capture the hearts and minds of his audience with his story of his life and the discoveries he has made along the way. Alot of people are good speakers, but in Rev. Peterson there seems to be a convergence of truth, sincerity, humility and good will that shine through like very few speakers you have ever heard. Anyone within earshot of Jesse that night stopped to listen, shoppers, sales people... stopped dead in their tracks and listened to the whole speech. Freepers in attendence were myself, RonDog, gc4nra, rebuildus, NewDestiny and I forget who else. I'm hoping Ron or Gene will help me out. Unfortunately we don't have pictures of freepers, unless someone else took them, but here is a sampling of pictures for you to get a gander. BUY THE BOOK!!
You can purchase the book from bond directly and I'm sure Rev. Peterson will gladly sign it for you, or you can request Jesse to speak to your church, or group or have a booksigning in you area by calling the BOND office and asking for Patrick or Ermias 800 411-BOND. Or go to the website BOND
More pictures below!
Another is Roy Innis of CORE, the guy who actually beat up Al Sharpton. Why these two guys don`t get the same amount of press to that of Sharpton and Jackson is something I`ll never understand. It couldn`t be the liberal media, because that astute political scholar Al "cocaine" Franken insists there is no liberal media.
Who would you buy a used car from?
The possibilities are endless. I first perceived a big scam to sell either (1) books that would not be delivered or (2) books that would not really be signed, or (3) to just not even show up and laugh at people formed up in queue who would not get a book or a signature.
I'm glad however that Rev. Peterson's event went well and I wish him the best with his book Scam.
Wow, finally someone has exposed these phony black leaders. This is what many in the black community have known and quietly murmured about for years, but have been too affraid to voice publicly. I admire the authors courage for writing this book. I've seen Rev. Peterson on TV before and have admired his moral and principled stance from a distance. But, I had no idea he was having such an impact. The information revealed in this book about Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, and others is shocking and disturbing! I had no idea that so much corruption is going unreported. Rev. Peterson will probably be one of the most reviled people in America after some of these leaders learn of his book. SCAM will obviously stir up anger, hate, and hopefully debate within many in the black community. I'm just happy that finally someone has written such a fascinating book--God only knows black people and America need it!
This book is a devastating critique, of black liberal, socialistic, left-wing, Democratic, progressive, communist, pundits like Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, etc. who spread their message of victimhood, racism, and hate. You'll read how the majority of blacks are "brainwashed" by the Democratic party, why the problem within the black community is not racism but a lack of moral character, why the problem isn't material but spiritual, why the problem isn't white vs. black, but right vs. wrong. Rev. Peterson not only states the problems, but offers a solution. SCAM is shamelessly conservative and Christian. Prepare yourselves!

Here's an abridged transcript between Peterson and Dyson on the Hannity and Colmes show that graphically depicts what Peterson has gone through:
HANNITY: Jesse, let's see, you're claiming that Mr. Dyson and others called you ignorant, accused you of being the white man's boy, attacked your education, the way you spoke, said you were a pawn for the white man. I thought this was a conference where there's a free and open exchange of ideas. You can't have a different viewpoint without being personally assaulted and your character assassinated?
PETERSON: You know, I thought the same thing, Sean. I was invited there by the National Association of Black Journalists to debate the issue of reparations. And I was debating Michael Eric Dyson. There were about 300 or so black journalists there from across the country. Michael Dyson gets up. They gave him the first and the last word, by the way. Michael gets up and he presents his reasons for reparations. And it was the same old stuff you hear all the time. You know, the slavery and the white man.... I get up and I say that reparations is racist, it is divisive, and it's another way for the so-called leaders, black leaders, to use black Americans to gain power and wealth.... it was at that point, Sean, that they started screaming and calling me names and telling me that I'm... a white man's boy.
HANNITY: Jesse, I want to go to Michael Dyson.... you wrote this... "if you've ever wondered what a self-hating black man who despises black culture and worships at the alter of whiteness looks like, take a gander at the Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson. In Peterson's mind, black rates of teen pregnancy, the breakdown of the black family, and black peoples' addiction to civil rights advocacy are the unerring symptoms of moral failures. Michael, you know what? I didn't picture you as a mean-spirited person. What you wrote here is mean spirited.
DYSON: I don't think so, Sean. I respect your opinion, but had you been there to see the full volley of venom that Reverend Peterson directed toward black people, here you are, I think, trying to make the victim...
HANNITY: Worship at the altar of whiteness? Worship at the altar of whiteness?
DYSON: Reverend Peterson at the convention spewed some of the most venomous, vindictive, hateful venom...
PETERSON: Like what?
DYSON: ...toward black people that one might imagine.
PETERSON: Like what, Michael?
DYSON: He said we were totally reprehensible, we were immoral, we had no reason to argue for our own equal standing in African/American society.
PETERSON: Michael, you're not...
DYSON: Let me finish.
PETERSON: That's not what I said.
DYSON: Once black people then morally rehabilitate themselves then they will be available for that kind of thing. And I think that's reprehensible.
COLMES: Reverend Peterson, did you say to Michael Dyson, "Jesus does not speak to you." Did you say that to him?
PETERSON: Michael was quoting the scriptures, right? And I said to him that he has the words of the bible, but he doesn't know God at all because there is no way you can know God and teach this type of hatred.
DYSON: Sean, what do you think about that? What do you think about that, Sean?
COLMES: That's pretty attacking.
PETERSON: You can't have love and hate in your heart, Michael.
DYSON: No, no, no, I don't have any hate in my heart. Here's my point.
PETERSON: Yes, you do.
DYSON: Those...
PETERSON: You hate white people.
ON: OK, I hate white supremacy. I hate black bigotry. What I'm telling you if those firemen who are coming home from New York, if you say to them, look, you made some mistakes on 9/11. Therefore, you are to blame for what happened on 9/11. That would be ludicrous. That is comparable to what Mr. Reverend Peterson said to African-American people. And that is self-hating and self-abnegating... Here's a man who's telling me as a minister that I don't know even God. Telling me I don't know God.
PETERSON: You don't.
COLMES: But what they're saying is that you went beyond that. You went on to talk about how immoral black people are, how hateful they are of black Americans. They deserve no kind of positive treatment until they get away from civil rights leaders.
PETERSON: I didn't say that, Alan.
DYSON: Yes, you did.
PETERSON: I didn't say that. I said that unless we restore the family, unless fathers and mothers come back to guide their children in the right way to go, no money will solve that problem.
