Jesse Jackson calls Venezuela 'An Example for the World'
El Universal (Venezuela) ^ | Aug. 28, 2005 | Staff

TRANSLATION FROM SPANISH:

CARACAS.-The U.S. reverend and activist affirmed that the political model of Venezuela constitutes an example for all the nations of the world, shortly after arriving last night to the nation, he told a local radio station.

In his first words on arriving to Venezuelan soil, Jackson cited the just distribution of natural resources and the revindication of minority rights as some of the positive points of the 'revolutionary' process that impels the government of President Hugo Chavez, he told Union Radio.

The defender of civil rights of Afro-Americans indicated that in his three-day visit to the country he hopes to meet ethnic groups who so resemble his mandate to discuss ideas on the way to achieve equality and eradicate poverty and racism.

"We talk much about the right to vote democratically, but we also should have the right to a good life and health and the just distribution of resources. It's a new day and it's the hour to raise up those who have fewer resources, he said.

With respect to the relations between the U.S. and Venezuela, Jackson said that "they are not good but should be better, given that we live in the same hemisphere and I'm here to promote improvement."

Once again, he reiterated his rejection of the declarations of televangelist Pat Robertson, who invoked a call to assassinate President Chavez. "That is immoral and unacceptable in the world of today," he asserted.

The U.S. pastor addressed a special session of the National Assembly that was there to celebrate Sunday today in honor of Martin Luther King and he will participate in an audiovisual program Sunday on (Chavez's weekly TV show) "Aló presidente". He will return to the U.S. around Tuesday.

I always knew Jesse was a Marxist. He pulls that "redistribution" crap with large corporations here, only he generally prefers to redistribute into his own pocket.

Didn't that statement strike you as particularly creepy? He showed what he was made of with that. What a freak.

In the 1930's, George Bernad Shaw and his wife Nancy, were "guests" of Stalin on a controlled tour of Russia. Afterwards in Red Square, he told the waiting press that he found the Soviet Union admirable, and would, indded, advise young men from all over the world to pack up and settle in it.

Winston Churchill spared no words in assessing what a foolish pair they were:

"The Russians have always been fond of circuses and traveling shows....here was the world's most famous intellectual clown and Pantaloon in one, and the charming Columbine of the capitalist pantomime."

Every generation has it's fools...ours is rich with the likes of Jackson, Carter, Fonda, Sheehan, Moore...and the list goes on.

No joke. I was chatting with a Vietnamese friend who is like 22 or 23. He lives in Saigon (HCM City). We were talking about Venezuela and Chavez then I went to the subject that perhaps someday there may be free elections even there in Vietnam. My friend responded with "If you send anybody over to monitor such elections please do NOT send Jimmy Carter".

Jesse needs to sit down and have a chat with Bill Cosby (Bill needs to bring a 2x4 to make sure it sinks in).

Needless to say, there are examples and examples. The other sort is called an object lesson.

The attack on the protestors (and all they wanted were fair elections) is pretty much proof that there is no free speech in Venezuela.

--------------------------------------------

The bloody protests were the best news of the week. Venezuelans are fighting back. We need to be on the sidelines ready to get in the game when the time is right.

Big surprise, Jesse Hijackson, a race baiting fraud with a marxist platform.

The protesters' blood is on the Rev. Jackson's hands.

Whatever happened to "No justice, no peace?"

The only god the Rev. Jackson worships is named Mammon in the bible, and his symbol is $$$.

""Reverend" Jesse is a strange duck."

Well, if it don't look like a duck, walk like a duck, or quack like a duck, it's obviously not a duck, nor a reverend.

But if it sucks like a parasite, lives like a parasite and acts like a parasite, it's obviously a JJ.
