Aiding and abetting extortion?

Jan 16. Isn't that the day that Bush has to decide on filing against affirmative action?

[TLBSHOW]

Now this is bad! What is Bush thinking....

BOND (Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny) will host its 4th Annual "National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson" on Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday, on Monday, January 20, 2003, from 10 AM till 12 Noon P.S.T. in front of Rainbow/PUSH L.A., 1968 West Adams Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90018.



Rev. Peterson said, "On the first anniversary of 9-11, the American people are paying their respects to the victims of the terrorist attacks, and President Bush is preparing the nation for possible war against Saddam Hussein and Iraq. Meanwhile, domestic enemies like Jackson are concocting ways to undermine our war efforts." Rev. Peterson added, "For Jackson to demand that we open our borders and stop profiling suspected terrorists in time of war is insane!"

In a recent statement Jackson said, "…He (Ashcroft) had been a foot soldier for the race-bait, anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-civil rights politics of the radical right." He added, "Ashcroft's Justice Department is a threat to established American civil rights and civil liberties…" Jackson also said that, "The Bush White House considers itself above the law, and immune to scrutiny and accountability." Jackson and others including the NAACP, AFL-CIO, National Organization for Women, ACLU, and the Arab American Institute are making numerous demands including: an end to racial profiling, voting rights for ex-felons, same-day voter registration, and for more relaxed immigration laws.

"Jesse Jackson is out of control! He has lost his moral authority to lead, and he is desperately trying to make himself relevant both on domestic and international affairs," said Rev. Peterson. "Our goal is to repudiate Jackson once and for all and show the entire nation that this man is a racist, anti-American who is a threat to the security of this country. Furthermore, I'm offering Jesse Jackson a 'free one way ticket to Baghdad' if he'll turn in his passport and promise never to come back," concluded Rev. Peterson.

Well I don't like nor trust Jackson, but I'm thinking there might be a reason why they are attending ..

So before I comment any further .. I think I would like to hear with Powell has to say first, before I make a final judgement

[TLBSHOW]

A good Freep of the event would do!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

"Aiding and abetting extortion?"

Why give the 'reverend' Jackson any legitimacy? The guy is a joke. Why honor a joke?

Well... perhaps the idea is to keep Jackson in the headlines, to make him more of an albotross for the left. Even if things turn lunatic, fine. Let them make fools of themselves.

This is an intelligence-gathering operation. [/sarcasm off]

I'll bet that Michael Powell votes DEMOCRAT!!!

[David Isaac]

The word duped implies ignorance, stupidity, or naivete. It is quite amazing to look at the list of GOP leaders and/or advisors who have been guilty of any or all of the above. Indeed, one wonders if it has anything to do with such ahortcomings.

[RWG]

Powell is a Republican and the son of Secretary of State Colin Powell...probably not a mistake but treason.

[Taxman]

I'm reminded of Rush's admonition to the Freshman Congressional Class of '94: [Words to the effect that] "Don't try to make friends with the liberals. They will never like you and there is nothing you can do about it."

DubYah and his advisors need to heed Rush's advice. By participating in Jesse's event, the administration is painting a veneer of legitimacy on what is essentially a massive shake down by a master con artist/racist pimp.

Niger has got it right.

[bushfamfan]

It's time for Republicans to discontinue this farce of speaking at events that are clearly Demonrat/liberal events. They want legitimacy, like they are somehow "apolitical", "respectable" organization just out for civil rights, when the facts are they've continued to divide and speak hatefully and yet Republicans want to continue to play this game?? Why not just finally decline and confront these partisan, very political organizations. Their hate antics continue to go on unchallenged and I'm sick of it. Those Bush administration officials are being tremendously foolish and the problem will never get better because there are no voices to put those leftwingers in their place.

The heck with the 'Editor'.....send a letter to O'Reilly!

[TLBSHOW]

They sure are Duped, Jesse Jackson is a racist!

[Fred Mertz]

Minorities can't be racist, at least that's what I've been told.

I don't see this participation as a bad thing. It might turn out to be a good thing. I hope Michael Powell takes his body guards just in case.
