RUSH: You people that watch Fox, does the name Tamara Holder ring a bell?
She is an occasional guest on Fox. She's out of Chicago.
She's a Fox News contributor.
I think she's a lib, and she's always on there to defend the lib side of whatever's being questioned.
I don't know if she's just a lawyer or just a political strategist as they say.
Whatever, she's now accused -- this is by Cliff Kincaid from Accuracy in Media.
"Tamara Holder, a Fox News contributor, is accused of having an affair with Jesse Jackson, Sr.
in a lawsuit that alleges the illegal use of a gay Jackson employee to facilitate the relationship.
The accuser, Tommy R. Bennett, was Jacksons personal travel assistant and ran the legal clinic at Jacksons organization, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
He says he was eventually fired for protesting his treatment by Jackson and other PUSH employees and is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages."
And the suit claims that Tamara Holder,
"a pundit and criminal defense attorney who claims she 'single-handedly' founded
what she calls 'a pro bono legal clinic at Rev. Jesse L. Jacksons Rainbow PUSH Coalition.'"
Anyway, there's more to this but I've got a time constraint problem here.
But that's a weird sounding --"the illegal use of a gay Jackson employee."
Wow.

Thanks, Rush.
Wasn't Tamara Holder the intern that Hillary Clinton had moved into the
White House Travel Officeto divide and accuse Travel Office Director Billy Dale of false wrong doings?
Hasn't Tamara Holder been involved in many smear tactics?
And what about "the
illegal use of a gay Jackson employee to facilitate the relationship." ?
That sounds like prostitution to me.

Correction: Completion of article.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Tamara Holder, Fox News contributor, lawyer -- yep -- accused of having an affair with Jesse Jackson
in a lawsuit that, quote, "alleges the illegal use of a gay Jackson employee to facilitate the relationship."
What in the world does that mean?
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Well, seriously. So much racism out there, where does he find the time to bed these babes?
Of course we're assuming there's a bed involved, but -- (interruption) no, no, no.
This is not the woman that had the baby. This is Tamara Holder.
You know what she was? She was a pardon attorney.
She specialized in getting pardons from Blagojevich.
That's why Jackson hired her.
We've been doing some research here, folks.
She's a pardon attorney, and that's how the Reverend Jackson came across her.
From her online law bio:Tamara founded www.xpunged.com, which is a Chicago based expungement practice
that provides a second chance to those who have been convicted of expungable offenses under Illinois law.
She also helps ex-offenders seek a governor's pardon for nonexpungable offenses.
She's met privately with Governor Blagojevich on the issue of pardons.
She was invited to work with the Reverend Jackson founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Monochrome Coalition.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You have to indulge me here. I have to find out what this means.
Is accused of having an affair with Jesse Jackson in a lawsuit that alleges the illegal use of a gay Jackson employee to facilitate the relationship.
What would the legal use of a gay employee be?
Cliff Kincaid wrote this. He obviously knows.
The illegal use of a gay Jackson employee."The accuser, Tommy Bennett, was Jackson's personal travel assistant,"
which means he got the girls their rooms.
He ran the legal clinic. (interruption)
Well, just like Tiger had a guy like that, got the girls their rooms."He ran the legal clinic at Jacksons organization, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
He says he was eventually fired for protesting his treatment by Jackson and other PUSH employees
and is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
"Holder has not responded to repeated requests for comment from Accuracy in Media,
but Jacksons press representative, Lauren Love, says the allegations are false and will be proven so.
Bennett attorney Thomas V. Leverso says thatJackson and PUSH have been stonewalling a legal response for many months but that investigations and the case are moving forward.
Leverso tells Accuracy in Mediathat witnesses have come forward to verify the allegations against Jackson.
"Bennett worked for Jackson for more than two years and was known as 'Aruba Tommy' on local Chicago radio station WVON.
The lawsuit alleges that Bennett was subjected to 'humiliating tasks' because he was a homosexual,
such as 'escorting women to his [Jacksons] hotel room' --"
Okay, now we're getting to the heart of this.
Well, I guess if you're a gay guy, escorting paramours to your boss's room may be a little humiliating
because you yourself are being used to provide the imprimatur of legitimacy here.
In other words, the woman's not showing up on her own and knocking on the door; is being escorted there by Tommy Bennett.
He's gay, so he's the escort for women, plural, to Jackson's hotel room,
and then he was humiliated because he was"ordered to clean up after Jackson had sexual intercourse with them."
Now, that would be humiliating, you have to clean up the room after the deeds had taken place. (interruption)
Well, because you can't have the maid do it. The maid does it, then the word gets out.
So you gotta have somebody go in there and clean up before the maid comes in there to clean up.
Yep. That's true.
"One of those women, the suit claims, was Tamara Holder, a pundit and criminal defense attorney who claims she'single-handedly' founded what she calls 'a pro bono legal clinic at Rev. Jesse L. Jacksons Rainbow PUSH Coalition.'
A self-described Democrat, she appears regularly on Fox News to defend the Obama Administration and other prominent Democrats.'Because of the Democratic Partys deep Chicago roots, Tamara has worked closely with some of the Citys most prominent leaders."
That's basically the nuts and bolts of the story.
So Tommy Bennett is suing because he had to escort the women to the room of the Reverend Jackson
and then clean it up, get rid of the evidence and so forth before hotel employees, as in maids, showed up,
and that one of the women was Tamara Holder.
That's just amazing, the stuff that you learn doing this show.
It's amazing the stuff that you learn listening to this program.
Sorry for the interrtuption, folks.
I guess I need to get some sleep.Because of the Democratic Partys deep Chicago roots, Tamara has worked closely with some of the Citys most prominent leaders.

Tell the eunuch to bring forth a concubine from my harem on the 7th floor!
Yeah, that would be humiliating. But not more so than being known as a homosexual (if, that is, you’re a normal, healthy, non-perverted human being)!
Sheesh, those people are screwed up: from Sheik Jackson himself, to his stable of prostitutes, to his homosexual eunuchs who watch over his harem and wash the sheets. It’s easy to see the kind of world they yearn for: the inherently unjust world of royalty and harems and eunuchs. No wonder they hate the white man. For the most part, we put an end to all that in our part of the world.

I really don’t see any illegality here.
Unless he was sent to procure actual prostitutes where is there any crime here?
Even if this gay guy found being asked to bring these girls up to Jackson’s room and then, er, whatever, clean up later humiliating, I don’t see how that’s illegal, I’m not even sure it would be actionable civilly.
Suppose my boss asks me to pick up his dry cleaning, etc. I find it humiliating, but how is it illegal?
Now, if my boss is the mayor, or something like that maybe it’s illegal because I’m on the taxpayer’s dime while I’m doing this personal stuff, but other that a scenario like that, I don’t see it.

I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \Ëre-prÉ-ËbÄ�t\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
- Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
- They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

To: Yosemitest
re: “I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!”
You forget the Word of God which says, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
The context of that passage is Paul’s teaching that the purpose of the Old Testament law is to show us our sin and our inablilty to save ourselves - in other words we all stand condemned before God because of our sins.
Yes, the Mosaic laws, given by God, in the Old Testament call for the execution of homosexuals, adulterers, murderers, and consistently disobedient children to parental authority because of the seriousness of these types of sins against the holiness of God and stability of the family, the community, and the nation of Israel - and, it is clear that these types of sins are still a threat to society today.
But, what you forget is that Paul was pointing out that none of us can make ourselves holy by attempting to obey the Law - only God’s grace and mercy can do that.
When you say you have “no sympathy for homosexuals”, you would have to say that about ALL who sin - including yourself I might add, unless you think you have no sin.
Remember the woman caught in adultery by the Pharisees (John 8)? According to the Law the woman should have been executed by stoning. The Pharisees were absolutely correct in their interpretation of the scriptures and thus, they thought they could trap Jesus with this situation.
But, what was Jesus’s answer? Was it cold, heartless condemnation of the woman? No, you know the answer as well as I. He replied, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Of course all the accusers left because they knew they were sinners as well. He then told the adulterous woman to “go, and sin no more.”
You blaspheme the justice, love, mercy and grace of God when you coyly say, “God has a cure for homosexuals” meaning that He wants us to execute them according to the Leviticus passage. You forget also what Paul said in Romans 2:1-4:
“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?”
In other words - we are all condemned sinners - none of which can by obeying the Mosaic law save ourselves from God’s righteous judgement.
The ONLY cure (the one you forgot to mention) is the grace and mercy of God by the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. Only by placing our faith in Him as our Lord and Savior, which means that we admit our sin and our hopeless condition, and turn away from our sin to faith and obedience to Christ - only by this cure can we be saved.
We need to follow Jesus’s example in Matthew 9:36:
“When He saw the crowds, He had COMPASSION on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
Be careful that you not act like this Pharisee in Jesus’s parable in Luke 18:9-14:
“And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
Of course no one who does not repent and continues to live a life of sin in disobedience to God will be saved. God will judge these who refuse to repent.
You miss the whole point of Paul’s teaching in Romans 1 - 5. He was building the case that ALL mankind stands condemned before God and none of us can claim “we didn’t know” about God or His moral law - because God has demonstrated His existence and His moral law for all to see.
Paul even points out how Gentiles naturally followed many of God’s moral precepts, though they didn’t know where they originated.
God’s judgement and justice are undeniable - but, so is His mercy and grace through Christ Jesus. Homosexuality is a terrible sin yet All sinners can repent - all sinners can turn away from their sinful life and trust in Christ. He has compassion on all of us - thank God!

Look, I consider myself just a student of the Bible.
Our failure to OBEY God ...
IS the reason God has
allowed us to walk in our own path to destruction.
May I recommend an old set of study courses, that I
mostly agree with, not ALL, but MOST.
Again, I'm just a student of the Bible, and could be mistaken.
Don't get wrapped up in
who the writers are. Focus on the questions in the course, and the references given, and then go find the answers.
Then go to that source yourself, read it for yourself, and make up your own mind.
This is between you and God.
No one else should get between you and your relationship with God and his Son Jesus Christ, our Savior.
This is not a quick process, but several months of reading, prayer, and study.
For some sources, you'll have to research the Internet, or go to a public library.
But do it, and get started now. You enjoy it, after you get over learning that most of the world is trying to keep the truth from you.
