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."

That's an unnerstatement...LOL...I'd be surprised if anyone in that audience could unnerstand a word J.J. said , with that LISSSSSSSP that he has,that inter-mingles with what is qualified in this article as "Speech".It is hardly that,it is mumbling,and THAT is being very generous.Years ago,in the beginning,Rush would play clips of J.J. speaking,a minutes worth,and it was indecipherable-I'm sure he still is.I'm also proud GWB has cast aside J.J. too.(LMAO and really loud too!No offense to anyone w/ a lisp either)
Let me guess... they only count $3 bills?
In the vernacular, that means he's got compost in his mentis or $hit for brains.
