Good seeing you last night. I must admit I was disappointed that you weren't able to make a bigger deal out of Byrd's use of the n-word.

Just finished watching the show and you were great you old trouble maker you! So Byrd wouldn't come on the show? What a rat he is besides being a racist KKK lover. He even showed Byrd all dressed up as a racist! It was a good show.

I liked the first part too where The Jesse Jackson shakedown get together with Bush people at wall street was slammed but GOOD by O'Reilly and Innis and the elected republican couldn't even defend it without looking like a fool! But its good to pander to Jesse Jackson while ignoring their friends is what the republucan was saying.

Powell should not go. Ever! Lots of negative press on this one issue is coming. From O'Reilly that is for sure.

For reference here it is...

CNSNews.com) - Conservative critics of Jesse Jackson and his liberal political agenda are railing about what they see as a "terrible mistake" by two prominent Bush administration officials who have agreed to speak at Jackson's annual Wall Street fundraiser next week.

Some say the administration is being duped into participating in Jackson's event, while others say they're appalled by the participation of Bush administration officials.

Michael Powell, the Bush designated chairman of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), and Roel Campos, the Bush appointed commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are both scheduled to appear Jan. 16 at Jackson's 6th annual Rainbow/PUSH Wall Street Project.

Powell is a Republican and the son of Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Fenimore Fisher, the deputy director of the Wall Street Project confirmed to CNSNews.com that Powell and Campos are going to appear at the awards luncheon.

Powell is scheduled to introduce NYSE chairman Richard Grasso and Campos will be a keynote speaker for the event titled "Necessities for Economic Stimulation & Parameters for Corporate Governance." The 2003 Wall Street Project is being billed as "Equity for All: Establishing the Economic Agenda for Growth" and runs from Jan. 14 -17.

Powell's office did not respond to four inquiries seeking comment, but Campos' office did confirm that the SEC commissioner would be speaking at the awards luncheon.

When asked whether the appearance of Campos at Jackson's event would amount to an endorsement of Jackson's politics, an official with the SEC who did not wish to be identified downplayed Campos' role as "very limited."

Jackson's detractors were quick to denounce the appearance of the two Bush administration officials.
