I wish that this were true. However, I'm suspecting rope-a-dope here.

Only time will tell.

You are probablly correct..with all the money and attention this poverty pimp brings in (most of which he pockets for himself)...he is kinda like AIDS...once you get it doesn't go away.

There was no sense or expression of either mourning of grief or even of sympathy for the victims of September 11th.

Why should there be? None of the victims are good shakedown targets insofar as JJ is concerned.

I'll be glad when this foul chancre fades away for good . . .

"Members of the New York Stock Exchange are appalled and can't understand why [Exchange Chairman] Dick Grasso is kowtowing to someone they view as anti-American," said the Wall Street banker......Rev. Al Sharpton, currently seeking to replace Jackson as America's top civil rights leader....

Oh, and I guess Big Al his Pro-American

One hundred employees does not equate to an empire. It is, however, about the right size for a RICO organization.

***** "I think it is interesting that he has not been audited by the IRS," said Wallace. "Jesse is not above the law." *****

There's only about 240,000,000 U.S. citizens that know Jessie "James" Jackson is above the law.

[RushLake]

Yeah, Al Farrakh.........er, uh Sharpton was here in Michigan yesterday patriotically protesting the deportation of islamics who are here illegally. These guys never seem to miss the opportunity to express their anti-Americanism. Its ok though because they have been oppressed by us evil whiteys for centuries--right?

[marvlus]

What goes around, comes around.

Is that pedophile whom Billy Jeff pardoned still working for the Rev. Jesse J? Whatever, Toyota loves Rev. JJ.

Note: Rev. JJ and Rev. Al are being labled constantly as "black leaders." Isn't it racism to have someone as sleazy as Rev. JJ being labled "black leader"? Who appointed him to that position anyway?

Fellow con-artist Clinton gave Jackson credibility. I shudder to think - If Al Bore had stolen the election, Jackson would have continued in his sham of a role, "Minister to the President".

[RLK]

Jackson's personal declared income has been about $500,000 a year for decades. He doesn't like to pay taxes. Therfore much of the money is placed outside that which is labeled personal income and is in foundations, scattered among family members, and whatever. This constitutes untold millions of dollars. Don't worry about the dissolution of Jackson's empire, It won't happen. He is still respected among Black churches. He is aging and slowing down, however.

I read the article thinking it was CNN News Service, and that CNN had pulled out all the stops trying to be more like FOX.

Not!

"Because he has been extremely vocal and an instrumental voice on several civil rights and social justice issues, perhaps they are looking for means to discredit him, " said Peyton.

He discredited himself, dearie.

What a great first post to read this morning - the image of jesse jerkson imploding puts a smile on my face BIG TIME!

[TroutStalker]

...spokeswoman Keiana Peyton of Rainbow/PUSH earlier told CNSNews.com that she suspects political opponents of Jackson want to undermine his legacy.

I doubt that MLK ever talked about his "legacy". I've grown sick of hearing the word since clinton decided he had to try and change his.

I suspect the good Rev. Jackson has a desk job waiting for him in Clinton's Harlem office.

He shared the stage with then Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell at the Black World Conference in Atlanta last November when Campbell said to a receptive audience, "While the rest of the country waves the flag of Americana, we understand we are not part of that."

Jackson has also claimed, "Too many have been intimidated by flag wearing and flag waving."

Any American who thought that the race hustlers only had a problem with the Confederate flag must take note of this. Their hatred is for white people which in their twisted minds are "Americans."

Children in public schools have been hearing for a generation that America is no better, if not worse in a lot of ways, than any other country. September 11 was a unique day in the lives of many Americans when they realized, for the first time, what their country actually means. We have to stop the garbage about not offending 'visitors' We must encourage 'visitors' to understand that they are in the best country in the world.

I have lived in six other countries spanning many years. Americans take so much for granted, but our country will not continue to be strong if our children and 'visitors' do not believe that fact.
