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.

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

Logic isn't their strong point. But here's a scary thought--what if they are correct?

It was so very thoughtful of Jesse to take time away from impregnating unmarried employees of his bogus tax-exempt organizations to provide such thoughtful insights on current events. (/sarcasm)

BTW, Jesse.... which head were you using when you came up with this tripe??

I think it's great that sleazy charlatans like JJ and Sharpton are speaking up like this. The more they're exposed as Anti-American racist CLYMERS, the better.

May JJ and Sharpton continue to shoot themselves in the foot as often as possible.

I found Minister Louis Farakan's statement very interesting.

I did too. He actually made quite a few references to loving America. Sounded downright patriotic at some points.

Then he would revert to being Louis. Very confusing.

You have to remember that Al Spittoon is a presidential candidate!

I hope being a moron and traitor doesn't damage his reputation too much....because we need him to suck a major share of the black vote away from the Democrats in 2004.

I found Minister Louis Farakan's statement very interesting. I recommend everyone go read it. Link at comment #24.

I found a lot of it more rational than Jesse's comments...but his statement was so long winded I couldn't get through it. Farakhan doesn't know when to shut up.

Have looked around the BET website. Can't find a transcript or even a reference to these interviews. O'Reilly might be able to get the video. This should alienate 50% of black America from these so-called leaders.

HOW YOU STOP TERRORISM??

CLEAN SHIP BY RIDDING AMERICA OF ANTI-AMERICANS and SOCIALISTS AND TERRORISTS.

THE BRADY BUNCH, CLINTON, GORE, SCHUMER, FINESTEIN, HANDGUN CONTROL INC. AS THEY ARE THE ENEMY WITHIN OUR BORDERS.

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN IS THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE ALWAYS.

THROW THE RASCELS OUT!!!!!

HERE IS THE REAL STORY

(THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DISARMING US)

http://www.saveourguns.com/peapodschumer.jpg

HERE IS THE REAL STORY ON ARMING PILOTS.

FIVE THOUSAND LOST LIVES FOR THE WANT OF TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS.

Israel Airlines bolts the Cockpit door and all Pilots and copilots carry Firearms.

(TELL THE AIRLINE PRESIDENTS AND CEO'S)

New Release

Ponder for a moment.

We trust a pilot with a 30 million-dollar plane knowledgeable of complex airplane functions, but government policy will not allow them to operate a simple firearm.

I’LL FLY AGAIN WHEN PILOTS ARE ARMED.

Israel Airlines bolts the Cockpit door and all Pilots and copilots carry Firearms.

Scanning the websites this week the following thread from Pilots, Law Enforcement, and American Citizens discuss ways to take positive action against air terrorism.

We trust a fancy security question (Thanks to Jim Kallstom, former FBI, did you pack your bags?) but not millions of active and retired law enforcement officers to Citizen Carry on an airplane.

May I rant for a second! Get these liberal, antigun activists out of our government decision making process. Consider, Israel Airlines policy is to bolt the door, arms it pilots, and has armed travelers in the cabin.

We allow lowly-paid gate-guards to gate dis-arm us, creating a "killing zone of disarmed citizens", as passingers "do battle" in the sky with terrorists, using passion for weapons because misguided government policy has left us defenseless.

The government can not protect you when the terrorist is eyeball to eyeball with you. Now they have ban my pocketknife used to clean my nails. What next, bottles, because they can be smashed for a weapon??

Most all of the former military pilots strapped firearms to their legs when on active duty. Today they are considered not capable, wear the wrong uniform, or untrust worthy.

This BS about putting a 9mm hole in the skin of an airplane will bring it down is more rhetoric and fiction than fact. Just ask the thousand of airmen who returned from flights over Germany in WWII. How about the 747 over Hawaii with a 20-foot hole in the side. Still got a problem with possible decompression? Consider the alternative!

I’ll trust anyday my life to any active or retired law enforcement officer to CITIZEN CARRY on any airline.

I’ll trust anyday my life to any pilot or copilot active or retired to carry on any airline.

I’ll trust any American citizen willing to CITIZEN CARRY after extensive training to carry on any airline. It is a huge responsibility, however, the current "Killing Zones" set up by faulty thinking is killing our husbands, wives, children, and our nation.

I am sure thousands perhaps millions of American’s would trust their life to armed pilots, copilots, air crew members, retired, policemen, FBI, CIA, ATF, or American Citizens willing to train, quality, and stay current with cabin safety issues keeping America airlines safe.

I personally trust all of the above personnel, rather than phony security questions, low-pay air guards, unlocked backdoor food and cleaning functions or gates at airports, or government officials with big titles.

WHO DO YOU TRUST THE GOVERNMENT? OR DO YOU TRUST HONEST AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO LIVE AND BREATH FAMILY SAFETY WHEN TRAVELING?

What do you want in your cockpit, a pilot and copilot with a firearm, or a terrorist? 2,180 dollars (four colt pistols)would have prevented all four terrorist acts and saved five thousand lives.

Government will spend billions of dollars with highly visible, and breach-able security that irritates American citizens during check-in when other more effective obvious solutions exist. Just ask Israel.

Thousands of American veterans, retired LEO's and American Citzens want to sign up today to fight terrorism. Don't tell them they are unqualified. If you do tell them they are unqualifed, they may have a word or two for you.

........just further proof that Jesse "Marblemouth" Jackson has lost it; just totally and completely lost it.

Sharpton? Hell, he can't help it. He's an idiot.

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

Got a shocker for ya................he already has. Tony Snow quoted him from a lengthy speech following the 9/11 attacks, and you just wouldn't believe it. You'd have thought it came from Reagan or Hackworth or Liddy. I kid you not. The guy ripped the attackers, for he's smart enough to know what impact this had on Islam as well as this country. He was pissed.

Well, you know what they say about a stopped clock..........

So these IQ challenged Johnny-One-Note Race baiters are actually saying that this is all because we walked out of Durban? Again, comedy comes to mind--this would be funny if these poor excuses for Black leaders weren't serious.

Americans who are descended from African immigrants deserve better.
