Jesse Jackson: Bush Spied on Me

The Rev. Jesse Jackson is claiming that President Bush illegally spied on him and should be held accountable with impeachment hearings.

Asked to respond to reports that U.S. citizens were being "spied" on by the White House the same way Dr. Martin Luther King was in the 1960s, Jackson said Monday: "Well, and so am I. We have gone from being lied to about the war to being spied on for protesting the war."

Speaking to Democracy Now Radio's Amy Goodman, he recalled that as a member of Dr. King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference, "our staffers - our wires were tapped. We were followed."

Jackson said that 40 years later, "There is no doubt that they’re having an enemies list of those who protest."

"Last year, those who disagreed with the Bush campaign were on the enemies list for I.R.S. investigations,"

Jesse needs to be spied on, like every other CRIMINAL in this country.

So . . . this means that he has an Al Qaida connection?

Uhm, that was Bill Clinton who did that, Jesse.

Don't worry, Jesse--memory loss is common with old age.

I suppose taking it upon yourself to contact the Taliban after the 9-11 attacks is no reason to be spied on. Right Jesse?

"Jesse Jackson: Bush Spied on Me"

Considering you are not behind bars, he did not doa very good job.

I can just see Bush following Jesse around in an unmarked van, drinking coffee from a styrofoam cup and pointing a directional antenna towards Jessie's pad while the reel-to-reel records in the back of the van.

Jesse should have a permanent tail and have a team of auditors go through his financials every year.

Spying on Jesse Jackson would be a WASTE of the NSA's time - he has nothing of interest to say. The IRS should go after Jesse instead.

You're thinking of the DNC mailing list, Jesse.

(Pretty much the same thing, I guess...)

Jesse Jackson stands outside Bethel A.M.E. Church after speaking during the funeral of Stanley Tookie Williams in Los Angeles December 20, 2005. The 51-year-old Williams co-founded the Crips gang and was convicted for murder, but advocated against gang life after he was sent to prison. He was put to death by lethal injection December 13 after California Governor Arnold

Jesse's clearly got another book or fund raiser in the works.
My guess is that he's behind in his child support payments.

Anything for a headline.

What a bottom-feeder.

Can you say, "Me too!"

I thought you could.

Jesse, a word of advice.

The government is only spying on suspected Al-Quaeda operatives.

While the intelligence required to blow yourself up in a pizza shop is on a par with the common ant, it's still more intelligence than you have, which disqualifies you outright.

Wishful thinking on the REV's part.
No reason to spy on him.
He is a useless piece of shit.

I very much doubt that Jessie was singled out... at least during the Bush adminstration. BJC liked to keep an eye on his enemies, and an even closer one on his "friends".

Still, if he was spied on, I bet they could help fund the program by selling the XXX rated audio and video tapes.
