After all, it was Rev Jackson who was President Bill Clinton's point man for Africa. It was Jackson who spearheaded Clinton's 10-day African safari in March 1998, at a cost to taxpayers of $42.8 million.
And it was Rev Jackson who legitimated Liberian strongman Charles Taylor and his protégé, the machete-wielding militia leader in neighboring Sierra Leone, Cpl. Foday Sankoh.
Didn't Rev Jackson say in an interview that he considered Sankoh and Taylor to be like the gang leaders in Chicago, who could be "redeemed" by his careful ministrations?
How are those lovely, bloody diamonds Rev Jackson?
And Rev Jackson? Where did those monies come from that went to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition fund for the 1998 Democrat Election?
How about those specific $20,000 and $15,000 gifts with the identification "President Aristide"?
Just some questions we all would like to know.
Of course that wasn't directed at you JP! That man (errr, thing) makes me crazy!
