Freepers, I am one of a small number of conservatives on this campus. I do not approve of Jackson's racist pilth being spewed here. I would like some opinions about what to do about this?

It'll obviously be a Bush-bash. You might wanna get a group of your fellow conservatives together and hand out some flyers containing actual truthful information -- namely, the incompetant and continuous failures of both Mayor Nagin and Gov. Blanco.

Good luck.

Wow. All those "Golden Girls" jokes about St. Olaf must be true if they're sponsoring this moron.

By address, you mean he will point the finger of blame, make excuses, shirk all responsibility for personal behavior and choices, disparage the President and Senate, and then move on to his next shakedown.

And his supporters deserve the leadership they choose to follow, and the benefits they have received to date.

The only people that listen to this race-baiting, lying, adulterous, HYPOCRITE are the ignorant, the wanna-be race victims, and the dysfunctional libs who need their daily dose of Bush bashing to justify the corruption, deceit and thuggery that supports their fine political party...

It's definitely not free. College tuition is paying this man's fees and...uh...expenses. If I were student paying my own way, or a parent paying tuition for a student, I would definitely flood the school with phone calls protesting this waste.

I've noticed that liberal white people who think they know what's best for black people, usually don't know ANY black people............

If there is any racial strife in this country it is caused by Jackson and his ilk.

LOL....my husband received his degree (Reverend) from Universal Church in California. Jessee holds no degree, other than an honorary bestowed upon him by his own son.

Come back and tell us just how many people attended. His support base is shrinking.

This Jesse got his comeuppance in Northfield in 1876 ... but I suppose thieves aren't dealt with as efficiently these days.
