Saying that "no one is above the law," Jesse Jackson recommended Thursday night that President Bush should be "subject to due process" for his sale of Harken Energy stock 12 years ago in a transaction that Democrats say was suspicious.

Jackson recommended Bush's prosecution during an interview on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes," during the following exchange.

ALAN COLMES: Should he be looked into? Should his actions be looked into when he was with Harken?

JACKSON: Of course, because no one is above the law. ...

COLMES: ... A lot of people think that what George Bush did himself is very similar to Enron and some of these other corporations. Should George W. Bush be going to jail?

JACKSON: Well, I don't know whether - he should be subject to at least due process because you cannot deal with this matter without some retroactivity. I mean, his own activity is in question. (End of Excerpt)

This POS,jackas*, is such an as*hole.

Every time he opens his mouth, something stupid comes out.

"...you cannot deal with this matter without some retroactivity."

I'm sure that Jackson wishes he could deal with a bit of his sperm with some retroactivity!

This POS,jackas*, is such an as*hole.

Actually, I think Colmes was even worse than Jackson in this exchange.

JACKSON: no one is above the law. ...

. . . in principle. In each particular case of a Democrat like me, of course . . .

That "stupid" stuff has a word. It's calles sh_t.

Leave Jesse alone,he is unliterate!

What a freakin' hypocrite! He seems to think he can cheat on his taxes, embezzle from his "coalitions," make illegitimate babies while married, spew vitriol with no goal other than to coerce money from the poorest of the poor, etc., and NEVER have to face any "retroactivity," whatever the heck he means by that. What a creep. I hope he gets AIDS from one of his bimbos.

- Subpoenaed billing records found in the White House . . .
- FBI files of 900 Republicans rifled . . .
- WH employees fired and (entirely unsuccessfully) prosecuted, replaced with relatives of the president . . .
- 98:1 killing in the cattle futures market yielding almost exactly the amount of money the governor asked for . . .
- WH aide and later Democratic National Committee chairman makes $14 million dealing in stock of a bankrupt company . . .

Nothing Suspicious There.

Oil man sells stock which later doubled in value.

Call the cops!

Jesse Jackson is a dangerous racist who is leading an anti-white racist movement within the United States.

The community he represents wants hand-outs, not opportunity. Anyone care to disagree?

[mystery-ak]

You stole my thunder.
JJ is the biggest crook of them all, a shake-down artist who should be investgated and audited.

I missed this show, did Hannity get to *axe* a question?

my head may just explode this coming from the king of corporate shakedowns and tax dodging

Equality before the law. It is too bad that it took this long for the Democrats to discover that principle. The problem with most of these scandals is that a falling economy creates desperate conditions for companies. In the attempt to hold the company together, execs do some desperate things to survive. Of course, some examples of theft and greed surface as the root cause.

Psst. Hey Jesse, I have some news for you. The SEC did look into the sale, and found nothing improper. Try to keep up, you ignorant POS.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

he should be subject to at least due process because you cannot deal with this matter without some retroactivity.

Hey Jesse, let's first apply some of that there retroactivity to the Clintons and to your shady dealings before looking elsewhere.

[Freemyland]

A lot of these libs are really behind the times. This kind of bald faced deceit (the suggestion that the stock sale was never investigated) doesn't work like it did before the age of the internet. Before then, there was no efficient and widespread medium to disseminate refutations of this type of nonsense. The libs had a near monopoly on the conventional organs of news distribution. Now, these lies are exposed and refuted almost instantaneously.

[Marauder]

No argument from me. All of my black friends and acquaintances unanimously refer to Jackson as a "poverty pimp."

[marvlus]

Which one, Jackson or Colmes or both?

[Phlap]

Not just Bush but every federaly elected offical who, when they were private citizens, has ever sold shares of a company while they were a board member of that company. But I'm certain that G.W.B. is the only such offical that falls into this category.
