REV. PETERSON: BUSH OFFICIALS SHOULD REPUDIATE, NOT LEGITIMIZE JESSE JACKSON

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, today said he is “disturbed” by news reports that two prominent Bush administration officials are planning to speak at Jesse Jackson’s 6th Annual Rainbow/PUSH Wall Street Project. The officials scheduled to speak are Michael Powell, Chairman of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), and son of Secretary of State Colin Powell; and Roel Campos, Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to news reports both are scheduled to appear at the event on January 16th.

Rev. Peterson said, “In the last thirty years, Jackson has proven himself to be a man of poor character and a self-serving thug. Recent examples: In January of 2001, it was discovered that Jackson fathered a love child with his mistress Karin Stanford; he has also been under serious scrutiny for allegedly misusing funds from his nonprofit organizations. Much more has been documented in the scathing book—Shakedown: Exposing The Real Jesse Jackson by Kenneth R. Timmerman.”

Rev. Peterson added, “This administration’s plan to send officials to meet with a discredited ‘civil-rights leader’ is shameful. In the past, Jackson has called President Bush an ‘illegitimate’ President, and has compared the Bush administration to terrorists. The administration is validating Jackson, and they’re sending the wrong message to the American people. How can they [Bush administration] embrace Jackson and yet repudiate Trent Lott? —It doesn’t make sense and it’s wrong!”

BOND is sponsoring the 4th Annual “National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson” on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday on Monday, January 20, 2003, from 10 am till 12 Noon, in front of Rainbow/PUSH L.A., 1968 West Adams Blvd., Los Angeles, CA. For more information go to www.bondinfo.org

Good to see one or two Bush people show up! I love ya rintense...

[mr.pink]

Why the GOP would help rehabilitate (socially and politically) the discredited and fading Jackson is beyond me.

They are earning the kick in the @ss they will be surely be recieving from the charlatan Rev.

[Howlin]

Please do not post to me again. I'm tired of your race baiting posts.

[Lucky2]

Thank you and well said! Amen

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Your comment was just fine, I merely "tweaked" it for my own comment....... ;^)

[Paulie]

This just tells me that the Republicans STILL don't get it. Jackson (by no means a Reverend) needs to be crushed, not embraced. The Reverend Jessie Lee is so right about this. I wonder if Alan Keyes will chime in on this one. Hope so.

[Marysecretary]

I can't stand the sight of him and I truly love African Americans. I just don't like hypocrites, liars, schemers..I just don't like Jackson! He's not someone Republicans should even get involved with. Arghhh!!!
