July 10, 2003 -- AS the president and Pentagon ponder whether to send U.S. troops to Liberia, many Americans will be surprised to learn that the crisis there was in part the creation of a U.S. political leader who claims to champion Africans' right to self-governance: Jesse Jackson.

One local journalist wrote bitterly that the U.S. civil rights leader was better known in Africa as a "killer's rights" leader.

Smart AMERICANS know him by that term as well. Jesse needs a shakedown.

Most black Americans I talk to don't give a fig about Africa. It's just a matter of personal integrity driving GW on this.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Saw Timmerman on O'Reilly last night -- a very credible guy. Serious and sincere, reserved in how he spoke - not an arm-waver...I accept his charges.

As Jackson himself commented to me in an interview for "Shakedown," "When it worked, you're a genius. When it blew up, you're an idiot."

Gee whiz, the man *does* have an inkling of intelligence!< /sarcasm >

Jackson is only successful when he is extorting, threatening , and receiving hush money from the soft underbelly of White Owned Corporations in America.

Je$$e HiJack$on probably got paid big time to set up the slaughter of innocent Africans. He never does anything unless he gets paid or will get paid for his treason.

I'm afraid that politics and votes drive GW's interest in Africa. He would be seen as "racist" to have liberated Iraq while failing to give "equal time" to the cesspool of human misery that is the African continent....

If Je$$e was just worthless, I would never be concerned about him.

He is a very dangerous person to Americans of all colors and any innocent African living in Africa.

For sure there's trouble while JJ's able to trod the political boards. I just hope he gets the message that
he's of no value to Western Civilization.
