Last year on vacation we found a BP on nearly every corner and they were all FILTHY. I'll never give them my business if I can help it.

Why isn't this guy in prison? He shakes-down corporate America like a mobster running a protection racket.

Isn't BP the company running ads about how "green" and environmental they are?

Yup - They should be running ones saying how scared they are instead!

"... told British Petroleum, PLC to ignore a boycott called against the oil giant by Jesse Jackson..."If I were BP, I'd tell the race baiter to pound sand and concentrate on finding his illegitimate children.

Why hasn't this useless lump of crap been arrested under RICO?
I'd love nothing better than to see Revvvrrrundd JACKson, arrested for conspiracy under the RICO statutes.

But how else is Jesse gonna keep all of those mistresses on his payroll if he can't earn (shakedown) a few bucks here and there?
Wonder if the platinum level "donors" receive a photo and annual letter from the mistress they are sponsoring?

Je$$e Jack$on on the prowl again. For once I'd like to see a corporation stand up in public and tell Je$$e and his bud $harpton to pound sand.

Maybe we should boycott any company that caves to Jackson.

Yes and I think almost every company that Jack$on has set his eyes on has folded. It's time for one of them to call his bluff and expose him for the fraud he is once and for all.

Don't know if Toyota ever gave money to Jackson, but Toyota does sponsor Algore's hard left cable channel, Current.

I refuse to do business with any company that gives in to this mafiosa's extortion. I won't be using Arco anymore. Someone needs to grow a set and start standing up to this POS and his incessant shake-down schemes.

How else is Jesse going to afford his shaker's babies? Trophies cost money.

My BP gas card gives a 6% rebate on all gas purchases which is about $.18 cents a gallon. Sucha a deal!
To: Obadiah
A Google search for "Toyota Jesse Jackson" turned up mostly items from 2001 and 2002. It was in 2001 that Jackson pretended to believe that a Toyota ad was racist. Toyota agreed to a $7.8 billion payoff to prevent a boycott...but it isn't clear how much actually went to Jackson himself or his organization (it sounds like it was mostly a commitment to spend more on various "diversity" programs).
Toyota seems to have been funding Farrakhan and MALDEF as well.
To: Verginius Rufus
Well, that certainly is discouraging.
