The Rev. Jesse Jackson slammed President Bush as "unliterate" on Monday during an address to the NAACP's 93rd annual convention, citing Bush's comparison of last month's Supreme Court decision backing school vouchers to the historic 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education desegregation case.
Jackson coined the new word, which he apparently intended as synonymous with the term "illiterate," in the midst of an attack on Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft, whom he called "the most threatening combination in our lifetime."
The sweeping criticism is nothing new for the fading civil rights leader, who condemned Bush's political tactics during the 2000 presidential campaign as "Nazi-like" - a reference to unsubstantiated charges that Republican officials in Florida denied African-Americans the right to vote.
Jackson's latest Bush attack came on the second day of NAACP convention rhetoric insulting the president, reported the Washington Times.
On Sunday, NAACP chief Julian Bond slammed Bush as a "snake oil salesman" who was part of a "right-wing conspiracy."

I'm going out on a limb with this, so please bear with me because I haven't mentioned this to a lot of people.
I believe that the reason that the Reverend Martin Luther King was killed was because he was a good man, flawed perhaps like all of us, but still a good man. A lot of people believed him when he said that all he wanted was true equality and not more than others. He was effective and he was getting things done for all mankind. That's why he was killed.
Jackson isn't a good man and that's being polite. He's the black equivalent of bubba clinton who wants only for himself whether it's power, women or money.
Jackson could go to a Klan lynching party and be perfectly safe because he proves the racists correct.

I think you're right Shooter. Explains why the prayers of all the bull-detecting JJ-sated citizens of this country ain't been answered yet...

Some of these liberal Black leaders like Jesse are running scared....many Blacks support vouchers because they want a better education for their children.
Since the GOP supports vouchers....the RATs could lose some Black votes!
