"This was a test case, and we failed," Jackson Lee said.

Yes Rep Jackson Lee, I agree. The welfare state has most definitely failed.

I hope a lot of these people gain new lives from a culture of self reliance and hope.

[cubreporter]

nothing jackson (both of them) say means anything anymore. They have both proven to be the ultimate in losers. Losing their grip I think.

[N8VTXNinWV]

Oh my Lord! I sit here astounded at the ignorance of some of the elected (demoncraps)officials. Before they entered politics, did they not have ANY knowledge of the Constitution? I know that I shouldn't be surprised, but my gracious the ignorance of these pompous A$$es is unbelievable!

[joesnuffy]

Send some of them to Mogadishu where they should fit right in,at least the Jacksonites and Sharptoneese should.

[ozzymandus]

Imagine how much trouble a person would get in if he suggested sending the "refugees" to Africa.

[mercy]

Yeah, Jesse. They might find out how they've been raped and used by the race hustlers, poverty pimps and scam artists posing as politicians in Nwalins.

[AHerald]

Jackson said evacuees from the Gulf Coast are not refugees, a word he believes suggests subhumans or criminals.

I suspect that a look through the Lexis-Nexis database or even Google would reveal that Jackson and/or his Rainbow-PUSH organization have repeatedly referred to people as refugees, most especially with reference to Kosovo, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, or Haiti. Moreover, it'd be interesting to see if he's ever publicly opined against the use of the word refugee in the past.

[DennisR]

Note to Jesse: We - the American people - really do not care what you say or how you say it or how many times you say it. You are a racist bigot who is currently irrelevant.

Thanks - I feel better for having said that.

[leadpenny]

At least I've learned a new word today . . . . I think.

BTW, what is Al Green doing in that pic?

Jesse Jackson... This WHITE woman in Texas has been with 400 of the newest residents to our fine town the last 24 hours since they arrived in our city. I have hugged them, cried with them, prayed with them, changed diapers, feed families, single people, drug addicts, criminals, children who have lost their parents, wiped young mommas tears, listened to their stories of the last 7 days. We have clothed them opened our hearts and homes to them......

They are now 900 miles from N.O. in West Texas and almost all of them said, they love the people here and the weather and the wide open spaces of our vast lands. One told me we have enough room to put 50 Superdomes in our great state.... and the sky is so bright with stars and new hope......

SO JESSE JACKSON.... This white person from Lubbock Tx has ZERO tolerance for your words and lack of knowlege of what people from the great state of Texas will be doing with these people of God. And yes, a few of them were the ones that had new luggage with them and brand new nikes. However my community has turned the other cheek and is doing what Jesus told us to do.

[Ditter]

I was not familiar with the word "acculturated" but according to my dictionary it means ]: to CHANGE through acculturation. We are going to CHANGE all those LA democrats into Texas Republicans.

I am not terribly hopeful of that happening but who knows, maybe a few.

[3niner]

He's afraid they'll be exposed to American culture, get jobs, become productive, learn that Republicans aren't so bad after all, and be lost to Uncle Jesse forever!

Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said.

So does this mean anyone in the MSM or dem party that has ever referred to Palestinian refugees or Rwanda refugees are racists.
Or being a dark skinned American makes someone superior in Jessies opinion.

[Spyder]

Hmmm, where's Jesse's hometown? How bout we send a couple hundred thousand there and let him put them up? Particularly the ones who only stayed behind to loot.

[BenLurkin]

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said.

What a moron!

[Rockingham]

The Reverend Jackson announces his version of the Fugitive Slave Act.

[Polybius]

He proposed using military bases in Louisiana, such as the mothballed England Air Force Base in Alexandria. Evacuees could live in dorms and tent cities.

He would rather have them live in a tent plantation, where he can lord over their squalid existence, rather than having them live in an apartment in Omaha or Houston.

[weegee]

Jackson said evacuees from the Gulf Coast are not refugees, a word he believes suggests subhumans or criminals.

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said.

STFU Jesse. YOU are the racist for inferring that refugees are "criminals". The word means people who flee their homeland, generally because of war or persecution.

Perhaps Mr. Bigot thinks that refugees fleeing his Communist pal Fidel Castro's Cuba are all "criminals" (they are certainly "enemies of the State", meaning Cuba).

But what does the man who once uttered "Hymie Town" have getting ANY credibility from the media especially when it comes to race relations?

Rev. Jesse Jackson said today that evacuees shouldn't be ... referred to as "refugees."

Why? Aren't they seeking refuge?

Someone needs to teach Jesse English.

[EGPWS]

Joining two of Houston's most prominent black legislators in slamming the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said today that evacuees shouldn't be shipped to distant states and shouldn't be referred to as "refugees."

How uncharacteristic of the Rev to allow others to do the work and spend the money required then step up to the podium to spew rhetoric for personal gain./sarc

Who is he going to try and place the financial squeeze on now?
