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."

Very wise insight on your part. Dividing the country IS the reason he gave that speech, isn't it? Its the only explanation that makes sense.

Isn't there a KKK or white supremacist board you can go to rant your hate? It isn't wanted here.

Factmart wasn't being sarcastic, when there are so many misspellings, they are serious. (I learned that from watching Lucy counsel Charley Brown).

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.

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.
Made for some lively noontime discussions

Ya know, just when you thought x42 couldn't sink (yes sink) any lower, he out does himself.

Sometimes I think we should charge those who voted for the Bent One the second time for treason.

Did you get a load of the honker he is sporting now? Huge and inflamed looking. Hope his roids follow suit. He also seemed to be either drunk or very tired. Maybe time doe's wound all heels after all. Let us hope.

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.

As usual JLP hits the nail on the head.

As long there is lie-beral socialist control of our "higher" (ahem) levels of education...there will always be skulls full of really true mush to soak up their B.S.

I thank God every day for Jesse Lee Peterson...Truth-Teller Extraordinaire!
