Jesse Jackson to Visit Hospice and Meet with Schindlers

On Tuesday morning, March 29, The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., founder and president of the RainbowPUSH Coalition, plans to visit the Woodside Hospice, where Terri lives, located at 6774 102nd Avenue N. (near 66th Street N and 102nd Avenue N) in Pinellas Park, Florida.

Rev. Jackson is responding to an invitation from the Schindler family to come and pray with the family, and if possible visit Terri Schiavo in the hospice.

After meeting and praying with the Schindler family, Rev. Jackson will make a statement to the press.

Whatever one may think of Mr. Jackson, he does seem to be trying to help, at least to pray and bring some comfort. Perhaps he will see her responsiveness and add his voice to the many that have spoken out in her behalf.

I am proud of him for doing this.

No way, If Jesse was interested in helping, he would have been there two weeks ago when the real forces for good were assembling. All he is doing now is jumping on the band wagon and get in front of the cameras.

Jesse Jackson is an opportunistic race baiter that has made a fortune off of those he was supposedly defending. Jesse has cashed in on every tragedy imaginable, and now we are supposed to believe he is acting on principle???? LOL... Give me a break

The chicken shows up after he knows it is too late to do any good. Sorry, guess that sounds like I don't think anyone will be able to - or is willing to - save Terri.

I totally agree

But I have to admit that I am a little surprised to see him on the side of pro-life

So am I. He has been known to get things done when our government doesn't or won't.. Still praying. I can't stand Jesse, but I will give him credit where credit is due. I will be willing to take what I can get. My president and his brother have certainly failed. Terri is alive for a reason. Go, Jesse.

You trust Jesse Jackson over the President????

Good Grief

Has Jesse Jackson said that he believes Terri Schiavo's feeding tube should be reinserted?

If he has it's a good thing but it's too late to matter. I also don't believe for a second that he really cares. He's more interested in feeding his on ego than he is in feeding Terri Schiavo . Nothing can happen without this guy getting his nose in it. He may be on the right side of this issue but it's about the only issue he's ever been right on. I'm sure it's no coincidence he waited until there was almost no chance to save Terri before getting involved either. Jackson is just a selfish race baiting scumbag when it comes down to it. The "reverend" also needs to pray for himself and stop having illegitimate kids.

Umm. Yeah. sometimes he does things that our Presidents won't, can't, whatever. Sometimes it works. Do I like him? NO! In fact, I do think he is aracist. But if he can help Terri, I will accept it. Thats all I want.

[Mo1]

He is not there to save Terry

And you know it

[Lovergirl]

WHATEVER WORKS IS FINE BY ME. I DO NOT LIKE HIM BUT IF HE CAN SAVE TERRI I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HIM. OKAY? This is so horrific and JJ thinks so too, that maybe, just maybe, he can get her help. Yes, it may be too late, but we will see.

[Lovergirl]

STOP THE ATTACKS.

[Lovergirl]

No , I don't know that. All I care about is Terri.

[Mo1]

Lovergirl .. I don't mean to attack you .. I am a supporter of Terri's right to live

But the reality is .. she is dying, her kidneys are failing

and the ONLY reason Jesse Jackson is going down there at this LATE date is for the cameras

[tessalu]

I do not have much faith in the prayers of Jesse Jackson, and I doubt that they can hit the ceiling, but if he wants to pray, let him pray, and let us all hope that I am wrong.

[Lovergirl]

You don't know if her kidneys have failed yet. I'm just hanging on to a bit of hope. Give me my last bit of hope. ok?

[Mo1]

There is nothing wrong with hope

But it's been 11 days .. it's a reality we all need to face

[Aussie Dasher]

JJ visiting will help Terri realize there ARE worse things than death.

What does this useless SOB want for nothing? For decades, he's been fighting for the sort of society that has condemned Terri to death.

[alisasny]

JESSE is going down for CAMERA time hoping for good PR on himself and himself only.

I do not blame the Schlinder family for this lapse in judgement as they are in a very sad state of mind and reaching out for any hope even if its from one who intends not to help but get on the news tonight in a positive light.

[alisasny]

Give me my last bit of hope. ok?

So are many of us but Jesse is not the guy to be the last bit of hope....
