Civil Rights Leader Slams Clinton's 9/11-Slavery Link
Though the elite media remain largely silent on ex-President Clinton's outrageous comments this week linking the 9/11 terrorist attacks to pre-Civil War slavery, at least one civil rights leader says he was disgusted by the episode.
"It's a shame that a former president would attempt to use the plight of black Americans for his own publicity," said the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson on Friday.
"His desire for power and publicity outweighs any concern for what is right," he added.
Peterson heads up the Brotherhood Organization for a New Destiny (BOND).
In a speech at Georgetown University Wednesday night, Clinton began a rambling dissertation on terrorism and argued the U.S. is "paying a price today" for sins of the past.
"Here in the United States, we were founded as a nation that practiced slavery, and slaves quite frequently were killed even though they were innocent," Clinton observed.
But Peterson said it isn't the institution of slavery, but instead the Clinton administration, that deserves blame for the 9/11 attacks.
"It is clear that Bill Clinton not only failed in the war against terrorism, it can certainly be argued that his administration aided and abetted them," the civil rights leader contended in a column for The Washington Dispatch.
"Bill and Hillary Clinton's statements and actions prior to September 11 are public record, and should be carefully examined," Peterson added. "Whatever they have said and done since the tragedy that does not match up with their pre-September 11 words and deeds should be regarded as spin at best."

Although I agree 100% with Rev. Peterson, I believe that most blacks feel the same way as Clintoon about this one. How do I know this??? This morning at work we had a mini war over this issue between myself and some other minority employees. Its sad to say, but Clintoon can do no wrong with these people. Unless, of course, he said the "N" word.

I, sick and tired about hearing about the back man problems, you don't think that a race who wanted to see OJ get off, deserves want they get.
I also think the black race should give each white person in America $5000 to pay for all the white solders who died in the Cival War to heip get them free.

More and more people are seeing the damage Clinton has done to this nation and our culture.
Clinton's outrageously stupid and inaccurate statements should, once and for all, render him personna non grata for any future speaking engagements. I, for one, need never to hear anything from him ever again. This man(he's hardly worthy of the title) simply has nothing cogent to say about anything.

Clinton's outrageously stupid and inaccurate statements He is stupid. Flip-side, he is a master manipulator. It's his lack of conscience that allows his stupidity to show. But his manipulations are getting out of hand as well. The liberals fold without class warfare, racism flourishing, and diversity instead of unity ruling the day. <p.Sept 11 united this nation, shoulder to shoulder, and the klintons are hell bent to destroy that unity, and fast.

Wouldn't it be nice if and when you have a kid, it gets sold to a stranger and you never get to see your kid again. That was commonplace in even the "kindest" slaveowners' households. I don't think the Civil War was fought to free slaves, but I'm not a historian, and obviously neither are you.

OK, I get it now, factmart: first I'll abuse you for a while, and then I'll demand from you $5,000 for giving you up. Makes perfect sense. By the way, if you find a race whose worst sin is comparable to freeing O.J. Simpson, wouldn't you want to belong to it?
This reparation idea is preposterous. But so are your comments, factmart.

To: Chi-townChief
Factmart wasn't being sarcastic, when there are so many misspellings, they are serious. (I learned that from watching Lucy counsel Charley Brown).
To: SerpentDove
You'd almost think that he was from another country. He has done more damage to the current race relationship in this country than anyone else.
To: Lizavetta
I suspect the educated ones have a different perspective on the Toon.
Not always.
I worked in the engineering field and it was VERY hard to find a black engineer that still wasn't a democrat. The same thing was true of the Jewish engineers.

Good article as usual. I was going to ping you but Argh already had.
To: Mercuria
I always want to be pinged when news is out on Rev Peterson. And for one reason. He really acts and speaks like a reverand. I love him. And I love insight wrapped in direct, 'plain-speak'. He is a major fighter in the divide the klintons and their ilk attempt to fuel. Jessie fully understands how much we are all alike! What binds us! And I am so delighted that he spoke out about klniton's horrendous and traitorous Georgetown speech. I ache for the manipulated kids that soaked up his venomous words.

1. The black community/leades proclaimed Bill as the first balck prez
2. Bill claimed that he witnessed several black churches burning when he was a child. That was proven false. Not one instance was found to be true.
3. The guy - Bill- is a scumbag accross the line. Beats me how anyone can defend him and many still do vigorously!

Bill and Hillary Clinton seem to want to start a civil ethnic war in this country. They are constantly pitting races against each other. It seems to be the only way democrats can campaign anymore, and none of them ever think about, or suffer over the consequences of their vicious statements meant to divide this nation.

I hate to say it,but Clinton is right..we are paying for our past......like electing that piece of sh*t Clinton to two terms...May God have mercy on us...

Mercuria: I was going to say "YEAH! add me to your BOND list, when duh I went back a page and seen I'm already on it!" New Destiny:
I watched a portion of WJBCX42's Georgetown speech. The man (sic) was incoherent. Whoever wrote/co-wrote the speech for him could not/did not "justify" the issues raised with even the thinnest thread of logic. It was a smattering of lofty ideas and obtuse ramblings whose only common demoninator was the presenter.
This is a rapid departure from the bubba clintoon we knew as president. As twisted or as perverted as his ideas were, he once could sell them to the masses because he packaged them like a Christmas present -- all neat and tidy with a red ribbon to boot.
The good Reverend is correct in slamming Clinton; however, he should take solace that should WJBCX42 continue on his present downward spiral he will become as irrelevant as Sky Lab hardhats.

To: NewDestiny
Everyone living today is damn lucky to be alive. Not one person has an ancestor who didn't suffer some horror or another. Americans have been indoctrinated with lies about the exclusive victimization of people of color and as a result, America is a mental case. Rev. Peterson is one of the mentally sound, thank heaven.

The speech was part of a calculated effort now unfolding by the criminal enterprise democrat party to undermine this administration and create division in the land, in preparation for the upcoming 2002 elections. The democrat party will seel or sacrifice anything, ANYTHING, to regain toatal p[ower. They are more dangerous than the Taliban or al Qaida, because they want power so badly they will gladly allow our enemies to succeed more in order to bring about chaos that serves their purposes. The 9/11 attacks worked to unite the people; the democrats work tirelessly to divide the people. We can only hope that sinkEmperor gives himself an overdose and exits the planet.

The Clintoon Camp is planning to buy reparations with minority support. This ought to finally bankrupt those B******ds.
To: MHGinTN
We can only hope that sinkEmperor gives himself an overdose and exits the planet. Wishful thinking. That would take someone with scruples/integrity to actually admit to himself that terrible mistakes were made.
On the contrary, the traitor-in-chief is proud of itself for its rampant criminal and treacherous behaviour. Its husband, Hitlery!, is likewise deluded...
To: NewDestiny
Peterson is exactly right. Just as Clinton bombed an aspirin factory to deflect attention from his misconduct in office, so now Clinton is standing on the backs of blacks to deflect attention from his failure to deal with terrorism while in office. .
