African-Americans Starting To Wise Up To Jesse Jackson

Seems people are starting to realize that Jesse Jackson is in the "Great Black Leader" business for his own benefit. Here's the story (free registration required).
Quote:
When Jackson said the poor were being ignored by the Bush administration and called for George Bush to be ousted in 2004, one heckler roared through a bullhorn that Jackson was complicitous with a system that impoverishes young blacks.

"This all happened under your watch, Jesse!" screamed one young man. "We can't find jobs and you have done nothing! Go find a TV camera to talk into, Jesse!"

"Let's go get a Budweiser, Jesse. I can't find a job and you haven't done anything for us," yelled another man, apparently in a reference to the beer distributorship awarded to Jackson's sons by the city.
That last comment had me laughing out loud. This refers to a Operation PUSH boycott of Anheuser-Busch several years ago, where they alleged that they didn't hire enough blacks. A-B ended the boycott by awarding Jacksons' sons a lucrative, exclusive beer distributorship. It's part of a long history Jackson has of extorting payoffs to himself and family members through similar tactics.

There was an excellent book published exposing this scam, I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in the real story of the Rev. Jackson.

I'll bet they shared notes, so as not to get caught again.
Jesse: I should have worn a rubber.
Bill: I should have made her wear a bib.



Has anyone noticed how big Jesse's head is getting? It's as big as Ted Kennedy's now. What's up with that?

Has anyone noticed how unintelligable he is getting? I can understand about every fifth word

Some people have always disagreed with some people. Why do a few people will bullhorns indicate that everyones opinions are changing?
The next time some people harass George Bush, I look forward to your post that says

But such a public display by African-Americans towards Jesse has never been seen before.

The media portrays Jesse as a spokesman and leader of all African-Americans, no one portrays Bush as the voice of all Americans.

Ummm he is the PRESIDENT of the USA! I think its safe to say that he is the vocie of Americans. Since he was elected an all. Unlike Jess Jackson, who is not elected to anything.
