Isn't it fascinating how the same people who so strongly opposed U.S. intervention in Iraq want the exact same thing to happen in Liberia? The charade took a hilarious turn today when Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson piped up.

The Bush administration's reluctance to send more troops to the West African nation proves that race remains "a significant factor," he grumbled today.

"We are turning our backs on Liberia," he said. "Liberia remains a killing field on the back burner."

So why doesn't he go crying to his precious U.N.? And why don't the likes of France and Germany cure the ills of Liberia and the rest of the world?

Jesse, Jesse: Wage peace, not war.

I'm just surprised that it took so long for the racism charge to surface.

U.S. Is Racist Not to Wage War in Liberia

That is a tautalogical fallacy on Jesse Jackson's part. For him, the US is always racist.

He should realize how much he marginalizes himself by ALWAYS coming out against Republicans or against the US when it is run by Republicans. He can't help but make tautalogical arguments from that.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Yes, he was.

From anyone else, calling this kind of attention to one's own malfeasances would be idiotic, but Jesse knows the media won't call him on this stuff.

[Salman]

The first time a US soldier kills a Liberian, Jesse will say it is a racist war.

[LexBaird]

Why isn't JJ calling for war in Rhodesia (aka Zimbabwe) to defend the white farmers being persecuted because of their race? Could it be that Jackass Jackson is the worst sort of racist there is - one who exploits race hatred for profit?

[Buck W.]

Did I miss Jesse's principled demand for US involvement in Rwanda?

I can not believe it took the scum bag this long to bring it up. Get lost Jesse.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

OK, let's make Jesse happy and make sure we do this EQUALLY. Let's debate this for the next 14 months domestically, in the media, and at the UN before we FINALLY decide to take matters into our own hands and do something.

14 months? Make it 12 years. The War on Terror should be winding down about then and we want to give Liberia the same chances Iraq had.

[mrmeyer]

I am suprised that self righteous bastard isn't going there himself with his rainbow/push cronies. I wish he'd jump on a sword.

[Republicus2001]

chances are prob 15.8% of the 9/11 victims WERE afro-americans

[Republicus2001]

isn't that what a Clymer is for - the Rangel?

[Republicus2001]

the U.S. civil rights leader was better known in Africa as a "killer's rights" leader.

Of course Jesse is a racist,a racist of the worst kind,he profits from it.

Jesse Jackson is in the "race business" and it has given him a very nice,tax free life.

We should all be so lucky!

[Mfkmmof4]

Go suck an egg.

[mewzilla]

No-one's keeping you from enlisting, Jesse. Go for it.

[blanknoone]

"I think the Rev. Jackson should hurry to Liberia and straighten things out. He is well known for being able to go to faraway places to bring peace. Let us encourage him to go. But go unarmed and in peace and remember that guns kill."

I think your sentiment is beautiful. The only thing I would add is that we should reassure the adulterous Rrrrevrund Zhaquessuhhhhhhn that all Africa needs is a few rhyming plattitudes.

bttt

[Mark17]

I wish he'd jump on a sword.

LOL, now, now, be nice. He really is a useless person isn't he?

[Calpernia]

So why doesn't Jesse Jackson show his leadership? Go to Liberia and ask Taylor to step down.
