Stay out da bushes Jackson is more full of shit than a Christmas Turkey. It's great to see the Ohio officials challenging his falsehoods and inaccuracies.

[Pharmboy]

I dunno...they seemed to dis Rev JJ at their convention. Why would he carry their water so enthusiastically now? Isn't this for him, as everything he's ever done, an attempt to regain the center stage?

[ladiesview61]

what more do expect from a lying, racist, fear monger, scumbag like old washed up, hidious looking loser Jesse Jackson?

[evad]

classic scene :-)

Right up there with "we don't need no steenkin' badges".

[Arrowhead1952]

Hey J. J@ck@$$,

SHOVE IT!

[LibSnubber]

"He'll get goofier in the vain, desparate attention grabs and then get bitter that "no ones cares" anymore."

Sounds as if he's following in algore's footsteps!

Jackson's statement that "Blackwell presided over a voting system that resulted in quick, short lines in the dominantly Republican suburbs and four-hour and longer waiting lines in the inner cities

Blacks disenfranchised by long voting lines.

More blacks disenfranchised by long voting lines.

Even more blacks disenfranchised by long voting lines.

Yet even more blacks disenfranchised by long voting lines.

And more blacks waiting! I bet Jesse Jackass is on to something here!

''It's three weeks after the election and Ohio still hasn't counted the votes and certified the election'' (Jackson)

Bogus argument & Jackson knows it. Iowa certified the results Nov 29, Wisconsin certified Dec 1 and New York will certify Dec 6. Can't find the date when Illinois (Jackson's home state) certified or will certify. I suppose that if Ohio had certified the results within a couple of weeks of the election, Jassy would be out there whining about Ohio 'rushing' to declare Bush the winner & that 'all the votes haven't been counted'.

[Quinotto]

Fairness from Jessee Jackson? He is only interested into one thing: what is fair to him, his reputation and his pocket!

[No Surrender No Retreat]

J-Pimp should be exiled to some desolate island to preach about the injustices in America. The inhabtants would tire of his B.S. and do us all a favor, decapitate his talking head.

And I stood in line for an hour -- in a predominantly Republican district! SHUT UP, JESSE and GO AWAY!!

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Nice job!

[Dhole]

My theory is that it takes Democrats much longer to vote; thus resulting in longer lines. First, it takes longer to vote several times than to vote once. Then, when you are constantly looking out for Bull Conner (Democrat) and his Police Dogs (who also vote D) it just takes longer to vote, than it takes a Republican! I loved the picture sequence of Long Lines of Black Voters in Ohio!!

[You Dirty Rats]

Blackwell should issue a statement saying that Jackson has not demonstrated the ability to manage his own affairs, let alone someone else's.

[MikefromOhio]

ummmm what are you trying to say?

thats crap....black people have just as much right to vote as you do, no matter how you spin it. And Bull Connor siccing dogs on people isnt really something to be joked about...

[Notforprophet]

I think he/she is referring to post #47 on this thread.

"There is no proof that there were longer lines in Democratic precincts than in Republican precincts."

Possible causes:

1. busing in people who milled around
2. idiots who couldn't remember who they were paid to vote for
3. Republicans had jobs to get to and didn't waste everyones time
4. It was warmer there than out on the streets
5. Dead people don't move fast as a rule

Wouldn't that be "I'm ONE of your love children."
