"I am not a Jesse Jackson fan. Matter of fact, I detest the guy and his motives behind this are most likely self-serving... But regardless. Let's pray he is successful in this case. For the sake of the hostages and their families. We can argue his motive later. "

Let us hope they capture his A$$ an hold it for ransom. I will donate to the fund to keep him. I uspect they will just shoot him, just day dreams here

If he can do this, more power to him. We should be happy he is actually doing something good for a change, it not like he has the power to offer the terrorists anything in return.

[texasbluebell]

Do you listen in FL to Roe and Garry?

My favorites.

[PattonReincarnated]

maybe the terrorists will put him out of our misery.

I saw the title of the thread, and what you said was my immediate repsonse. Then I said, I wonder how many posts it would take for someone to say the same thing. Post #5, pretty fast. I guess the early-bird gets the worm. Now I have nothing to write - well, other than what I wrote. Geez, I sound like John F'n Kerry now. LOL

Oh, puleeeeeeze! Gag me with a steam shovel!

Can't this lowlife, adulterous, extorting, race-baiting, camera-hogging poverty-pimp just frikkin DROP DEAD already?

[Nebr FAL owner]

Maybe we will get lucky & they will grab jesse for use as a hostage too!

[Centurion2000]

If I was a black 'christian' preacher. I would not be going anywhere NEAR radical islamics that think it is ok to take slaves and kill christians on sight.

But then JJ is just stupid.

[broadsword]

I wonder if Jesse Hijackson knows that the Arabic words for "slave" and "black" are the same word.

[pepperhead]

Perhaps the jihadis will agree to a swap.

One can only hope.

[huck von finn]

By what authority other than his own pathetic ego is he doing this???!!!

Hamill's wife's authority, apparently. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040417/ap_on_re_us/kidnapped_hamill&e=3&ncid=718

[Squantos]

The only good that can come from this is a 4 day weekend in January..........

Stay safe !

[VaMarVet]

Hamill's wife's authority...

What does that mean? Now all matters concerning hostages, prisoners of war, and other military matters require authority from a family member? That is a real can of worms just waiting to be opened.

[michigander]

Jesse Jackass isn't going to negotiate anything.
An FR archive search of "Jackson Taliban", "match all words" and "order by post time" will clear-up all this BS.

On the other hand, perhaps he's looking for "martyr" status?
I suppose the thought of those 72 virgins could be enticing for some folks.

I have to agree with you on this one. Praying for the release of our hostages.

[Carolinamom]

What does Jackson have to offer in return for the hostages?

[Libertina]

Passport Application: DENIED

[threat matrix]

Stay out of da Bushes (way), Jesse!

[wardaddy]

Terry Waite, Anglican bigwheel from the UK. A real church figure as opposed to the charlatan race baitor huckster buffoon in question on this thread.

[GEC]

I would tell Jackson that if his plane enters Iraqi airspace, it would be shot down by coalition forces.

[thoughtomator]

He's either extremely brave or extremely stupid. If he falls into jihadi hands he will not be making it back alive, not without changing "Reverend" to something Arabic.
