From another thread:

Rev. Jesse Jackson has broken with his fellow Democrats to blast what he said was the "violent" execution of Terri Schiavo, calling it "a great moral and ethical crisis that we should address."

Appearing on MSNBC's "Scarborough Country" Monday night, Jackson said the mistreatment of Schiavo is "worse - more violent and wrong than the convicted's executions."

This woman's being starved and dehydrated to death," he complained. "Eleven days - no food and no water. This is not right."

"She is not brain dead," noted the man regarded by many as the Democratic Party's conscience. "She is brain impaired. All her vital signs are working."

"And to cut off her food and water his heartless," he admonished.

Jackson spoke out as other top Democrats, like Sens. Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, continued to observe a two week-long self-imposed gag order on the Schiavo case.

He said he'd been asked to intervene in the case by Terri's family, and planned to travel to Florida today to keep vigil outside her hospice.

Worth highlighing for those that think Hillary gives a damn.

Never thought I'd be typing this, but God bless Jesse Jackson. I really don't care what his motives are, either.

I am so happy Jesse is there! I have never been happier to see him! I usually dread his voice. I don't care if he is using Terri for publicity. I don't. He has power with Democrats and he is willing to use it! He has his own strong arm players!

I am encouraged that Jesse is not all bad, as I thought.

I praise God that Jesse has arrived! Praise God!

I am definitely going to now regard him as the conscience of the Dem Party. And I take back my previous opinions of him from over the years. He has come down on the right side of an issue that trumps all the petty political nonsense.

What a crying shame that JJ has been able to rescue people all over the world, but not in the state of Florida, in our very own country.
