"Wave 'em" or Jesse Jackson won't Fly Flag
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 10-9-01 | Michael Snead

Wave 'em . . . October 9, 2001 BY MICHAEL SNEED SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST It should be noted that the Rev. Jesse Jackson has chosen not to fly an American flag in front of his house on South Constance Avenue, nor are the Stars and Stripes flying in front of the Operation PUSH headquarters on 50th Street. Nothing wrong with that. It just seems strange Jesse would eschew such a small effort when he was willing to make such a big effort to fly to Afghanistan to negotiate with the terrorists a few weeks ago. P.S. I must admit I have yet to fly a flag since my flagpole broke in July, but then again I didn't volunteer to broker peace in Afghanistan.

KEYWORDS:
This will surprise no one here. Just F.Y.I.

Jesse Jackson would make a great President. Of Cuba, not the United States of America. He's quite a "leader", huh?

What makes you believe Jesse supports the U.S.?

Have you ever heard him support the U.S.?

How could supporting the U.S. line his pockets?

If he figures this out, then you might see him make a gesture.

Actually, I'm pretty sure what happens at all the JJ negotiations (whether here or abroad) is he has some chump go ahead of him to clear the path. He let's them know that the real purpose is to scare up a little extortion for JJ.

The Taliban, of course, just laughed at him. They said, "So sue then. Yeah, that'll really impress us. Oh, and when you win, send that stooge you sent in here a couple of days ago. Make it his job to collect."

I think that was pretty much the end of the negotiations.

Make no mistake, jesse is still a hyphenated american. He is just biding his time - reparations is his next hussle and still foremost on his mind.

The only 'america' jesse wants is cold cash.

Does anyone remember the news story that Mad Maddie Albright was thinking about becoming the prime minister of Czechoslovakia after her tenure with the Clinton Administration?

Hey! if he could make some money by flying the flag he would do it. He is a money grubbing traitor and a Bill Clinton clone with a tan.

Why not? The forum software does that for the benefit of the readers so that they may determine whether or not they want to click into the thread.

I suppose there is a way to stop it, but I'd still wonder why one would want to do that.

Jackson and Sharpton are "race baiters." That's how they make their money on the backs of their own people. Hypocrits -- personified.
