Take a look at this before you settle on seeing Jackson merely as a "clown", though granted he is that as well! http://oregonmag.com/JesseReview402.htm In addition to the info at that address, remember that his chief aide through the '80s and '90's was an old Communist party organizer, well known to the FBI, always on the run while being a Communist was still a crime.

As for Amnesty International, it is an organization that is highly selective about what human rights violations it concerns itself with. As far as I'm concerned, on the evidence, it is corrupt and ideological, hence criminal.

The review of the book on Jesse Jackson seems pretty damning, although there appears to be the usual guilt by association charges in the review.

I am always suspicious of the speaker for the 'common man' who travels first class. Must be the primitive methodist in me.

Jesse seems to belong to that long line of demogogues who line their own pockets with people's hopes.

Perhaps the IRS could investigate his tax returns.

As for Amnesty International, I don't know of any country they have not criticised. Unless you believe that any one or organisation who criticises the US or its allies(particularly Israel)is criminal. Even the Pope no longer claims infallibility!
