Well, I can imagine Bill O'Reilly might take him to task. But, considering BO'R has barely if any more credibility than the uh-Rhhhhhheverend Jacks'nnnnnnn, ...

From their website:

Rev Jesse Jackson To Speak at the Hist The civil rights campaigner and politician, Rev Jesse Jackson will be visiting the College Historical Society on Wednesday night for a lecture and question and answer session. The founder of the Rainbow/PUSH coalition and the first black person to make a serious attempt for the US Presidency, Rev Jackson is a living legend. Fresh from his exertions on the Kerry campaign to get out the vote, we will be hearing his views and opinions on the US election, the Civil Rights cause, Martin Luther King and on how much has changed for minorities in the US.

Depending on the audience, which is always carefully coordinated, I would say yes he would.

Does anyone know where JJ gets his money? I don't think he has ever held a REAL job. I bet if we follow the money trail we will see that he is subsidized by organizations that get their money from sources and donors who have no idea they are paying for JJ to slander our country. I'm so tired of these sleezeballs who have been given air time and credibility by the media (FOX included). If I see Al Sharpton promoting his reality show one more time, I think I'll hurl.

Jesse pay me or else is totally discredited in this country. Worse his payola has been seriously curtailed. Jesse is just drumming up new revenue streams from those who will listen and pay.

You'd think he'd rhyme more for an Irish audience. A lot of great poets came from Ireland.

Without a source, this is completely meaningless.

"88% of Bush's votes came from Whites. But 100% of his votes came from Stupid people. There's a reason you Europeans think Republicans are stupid, - it's because in the main, they are"

Nothing racist about that statement.

More on the moron, from Ireland Online:

Jackson urges inspiration from Arafat's struggle
11/11/2004 - 14:26:05

Republicans and unionists trying to strike a Northern Ireland peace deal should draw inspiration from Yasser Arafat’s struggle, the Reverend Jesse Jackson claimed today.

As the Palestinian leader’s death triggered a fresh assessment of his achievements, political rivals in Belfast were urged to end their own standoff.

Mr Jackson, the American Civil Rights campaigner, insisted a political settlement in the North would be easier than either Arafat’s challenge or Nelson Mandela’s battle against apartheid in South Africa.

He said: “If the PLO can be recognised as a state in making, surely Sinn Féin and the Democratic Unionists can make that same leap.

“Frankly, they don’t have as far to go as the Palestinians had to go or as South Africa had to go.”

Mr Jackson, who was holding talks with both unionist and nationalist communities during a visit to Belfast, stressed peace was less risky than conflict.

With the IRA believed to be close to an unprecedented disarmament move, the Irish and British governments have stepped up attempts to restore the power-sharing administration in Belfast.

Unionists who walked out of the Stormont Assembly two years ago over an alleged intelligence gathering operation run by the Provisionals are refusing to sit in a cabinet with Sinn Féin until paramilitary weapons are destroyed.

But Dublin and London must also wrestle with a bid by Ian Paisley’s DUP to make big changes to the Good Friday Agreement, including an attempt to have ministers held to account by their colleagues and the 108-member parliament.

Yet Mr Jackson, who twice tried in vain to win his party’s nomination for the US presidential election, issued a message of hope.

“Sometimes these struggles for human dignity are long and drawn out,” he said.

“But ultimately that which is morally right prevails.

“Peace is risky but war is more risky. Peace is worth the risk.

“No matter how difficult it is, it happens if leaders have the courage to seal the deal.”

Even if the deadlock appears unbreakable, Mr Jackson told the political parties to study South Africa’s transformation.

He added: “It was not long ago that Mandela was in jail. It seemed ending apartheid was unrealistic.

“Now Mandela is seen as the ultimate global statesman.”

[ I'm glad to have the opportunity to pass this stuff on to you, - because I just think you need to know that Ann Coulter is right, - Liberals really DO hate America. I didn't believe it until last night. ]

"Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals(American leftys) because it's all true." -Ann Coulter

Ann Coulters main aid to america is in exposeing the enemy within on the RIGHT... they hate her worse than the leftys.. the leftys think shes nutz, the faux rightys know shes extremely accurate.. and hate her for it.. most anti-Coulter stuff is from the faux right.. next time you read some "righty" outraged by her, you will then know where they are coming from..

the word Coulter means; a cutting tool (as a knife or sharp disc) that is attached to the beam of a plow, makes a vertical cut in the surface, and permits clean separation and effective covering of the soil and materials being turned under...

Jesse Jackson - delusions of of a sick mind. He's just like Arafat - irrelevant. He's also mad that he has to wait 4 yrs more to be able to shakedown people.

Is this quote credited to Jackson in Dublin, from the speech you heard?

Belfast Telegraph

Excerpt: But in Dublin earlier this week, another reverend, this time the well-known human rights campaigner and Democrat supporter Rev Jesse Jackson, made clear his difficulties with this particular brand of morality.

"We must have a definition of morals that is authentic - there must be some morality in how you treat people and America . . . These same forces did not see ending slavery as a moral issue. They did not see ending legal segregation as a moral issue. They did not see women's rights as a moral issue. We must fight for a definition of moral that is wholesome and real."

Jesse had better hop over to see his friends at the PLO. Not too late for him to jump in with Yassar.
