Jackson and Sharpton irrationally blame GWB for attacks

In an interview with Black Entertainment Television this week, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton pinned the blame for this week's terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, DC squarely on the shoulders of current President Bush. Stating that the Muslims were feeling slighted by the US' boycott of the Durban Conference on Racism, Jesse Jackson, identified Bush as the culprit by ordering the boycott. The Durban conference deteriorated into a name-calling session by Palestinians and Israelis, and no real progress was made.

I wondered why no one had heard from them and found this today.

So Jackson and Sharpton are tying mainstream Muslims (who were the main representatives at the Durban conference denouncing the United States) to the bombings.

I wonder if Muslims in this country will take him to task over this.

Incredible. This attack was planned for years. That would be such shallow spin that everyone will know what they are trying to do. And I mean everyone. Their careers would be in serious jeapardy. Their reputations would have been better off shooting police officers. A few wackos might have gone along with that.

How can there be any doubt among anyone that they have one agenda.....obtaining power by hate mongering.

BET is nothing but a tool for left-wing radicals like Jackson and Sharpton. They say things like this on BET, then change their tune and sound more conciliatory on outlets with more mainstream audiences. Clinton used BET in the same way during his impeachment. Shameful.

Golly, if being slighted justifies killing 6500 Americans, causing $25B in damage and disrupting confidence in financial markets, I guess a whole bunch of nations will be justified in taking a similar piece out of our hides shortly, eh, Jesse?   Isn't that right, Al?

NOT!   These treasonous poverty pimps belong behind bars.

Jesus... This is Exactly why I hate these two. Why in the hell aren't they over in Afghanistan standing up for the rights of people who are downtrodden? Why are these two even allowed to speak? Why are these two even given air time to talk, when they so badly need to shut up? Why is it that these two can sit there and criticize our president, when they themselves have DONE NOTHING?

All we need now is Calypso Louie Farrakhan to put in his 2 cents worth.

It took these clowns 10 days to come up with this? They really flexed their grey cells, didn't they? For Christsakes, NOW is the time for sensible people to laugh these arses off the stage forever.All Democrats have to throw these two overboard.

Sorry, can't blame the kamikaze strike at the WTC and the Pentagon on the failure of the conference in Durban, South Africa. The boys from al-Qaeda were already psyched up and well rehearsed, and whether the US had rolled over and accepted the dictates of the World Conference on Racism or not, the WTC and the Pentagon would still have been attacked.

If you are not for us, you are against us. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson got a LOT of 'splainin' to do.

I see a double standard here. When Jimmy Swaggart was caught playing with himself in a motel room while a hooker aroused him, his ministry was rendered irrelevant from that time on.

Jesse Jackson does way more than that, actually committing adultery and fathering an illegitimate child, and still keeps going and going and going, like the Energizer bunny. Shut up, Jesse!
