Jesse Jackson: President Bush is 'Unliterate'

The Rev. Jesse Jackson slammed President Bush as "unliterate" on Monday during an address to the NAACP's 93rd annual convention, citing Bush's comparison of last month's Supreme Court decision backing school vouchers to the historic 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education desegregation case.

Jackson coined the new word, which he apparently intended as synonymous with the term "illiterate," in the midst of an attack on Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft, whom he called "the most threatening combination in our lifetime."

The sweeping criticism is nothing new for the fading civil rights leader, who condemned Bush's political tactics during the 2000 presidential campaign as "Nazi-like" - a reference to unsubstantiated charges that Republican officials in Florida denied African-Americans the right to vote.

Jackson's latest Bush attack came on the second day of NAACP convention rhetoric insulting the president, reported the Washington Times.

On Sunday, NAACP chief Julian Bond slammed Bush as a "snake oil salesman" who was part of a "right-wing conspiracy."

Jesse, he be workin so hard you knows, while extorting money from producers, so the peeples can sit on da porch and get rent coupons and repatriations you knows how it be.

He is truly an outrageous plantation pimp who is working tirelessly to set his brothers and sister back another fifty years so they can be victocrats and be owed something while he lives like a king. Sharpton too.

Farrakhan is another story in Iraq now. He wants jihad against the blue eyed devils, and Jews.

The real black role models are oreos...unbelievable.

Jackson the illiterate tries to use words to big for his elementary education. Sinking ship that Jackson is.

By the way, let's keep encouraging President Bush and praying that he stays in the path of honor, decency and true patriotism.

"The Rev. Jesse Jackson slammed President Bush "

Maybe Jackson just disspoke.

Exactly. Je$$e likes to diss people.

[lwoodham]

Maybe he meant antiproliterate, or disliterate, or some other meaningful word. If he meant unliterate then he is a dumbass monkey. To you Jessie <..l.,>.

[Wondervixen]

Just a case of the pot calling the kettle African American.

[Colombia59]

That is not a new word, he was speaking in the Ebonic language.
