Humility Becomes Him

On Phil Donahue's MSNBC program last night, Jesse Jackson described himself as the most 'inspirational black Amercian of all time.'

'No one has inspired more blacks for hope in America than I have,' he modestly declared.

Take that Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.!

Here is the whole transcript (link)

delusional morning ping

[Nitro]

jesse jackson is soooooooo full of sh*t

it comes out of his mouth!!!

[ewing]

Its coming from all over these days!

[cardinal4]

Wasnt Martin Luther King the most inspirational? Jesse might influence people to use birth control.........

[Dante3]

Hey, but big business loves the Rev. JJ. MetLife donated $150,000 in 2001, UPS Foundation $75,000, AT&T $300,000, Bank One Corp. $65,000, Burger King $100,000, Lockheed Martin $15,000. The list goes on. Even NASCAR gave $150,000.

[ewing]

Maybe to his own staffers he thinks he is..

[ewing]

NASCAR gave $150,000.00 to the shakedown king?

You have got to be kidding!

[ewing]

Of course Jesse was the one smearing himself with the proverbial blood (or literal depending on who you ask) of MLK Jr. when he died.

[Aeronaut]

JESSE: It's only 2 sylables...,

Ir-rel-lev-ant.

[ewing]

How about 'Toast' or 'History' if Donna Brazlie is trying to save his butt..

[Dante3]

This was listed by the The Washington Times on Jan. 15, 2003 in a chart of selected donors. NHL gave $5,000. CocaCola gave $50,000. However, there was nothing listed from the NBA or NFL. I wonder if there is a list of all donors anywhere on the Internet.

[Dante3]

Inspirational Rev. JJ, the Clinton soul-mate, is not. Nor is he a great role model. Definitely not a faithful husband and concerned father. Rather, in view of the jokes about him, he reminds one more of the court jester.

No. Alan Keyes.

Who has very strong memories of Dr. Keyes' "America's Wake Up Call" during impeachment

I am sitting in my living room and I am looking at two photo's...

One is William "Wild Bill" Donovan and the other is Father Duffy!!

These are heritage, they are from when my Grandfather fought in WWI...

now it is not 1919 and ...?

[Nitro]

You are one of those auction guys ....

right???

[mhking]

"Only in America!"

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[catonsville]

He looked tired, bloated, seemed under some sort of medication. Did not make sense at times. lots of blather, lots of words, no substance.

[Mudboy Slim]

"Jesse Jackson described himself as the most 'inspirational black Amercian of all time.'

I thought SlickWillieClinton was the "most inspirational black American of all time!!"

Now I'm confused...MUD

[ICE-FLYER]

Hey, but big business loves the Rev. JJ. MetLife donated $150,000 in 2001, UPS Foundation $75,000, AT&T $300,000, Bank One Corp. $65,000, Burger King $100,000, Lockheed Martin $15,000. The list goes on. Even NASCAR gave $150,000.

This is beyond me. A campaign ought to start immediately by writing these companies and telling them to stop funding racism, because thats what Jesse fosters every chance he gets. Cheats on his wife, does nothing about it, lies to the blacks of America all the time, has no real job, is NOT a reverend. The lis goes on and on with this race-baiting liar.

[Reactionary]

I never knew that race pimping and racial extortion could be so... inspirational.

But, then again, Je$$e's known for being an altruist with a real concern for the American greenback.

[Feckless]

To quote a great black American, "N*****, Please!!!!"
- Richard Pryor

[Dante3]

I'm wondering if someone in these companies is getting a kickback.

There are many outstanding African-Americans. Yet they are being ignored by these companies. If these companies really wanted to make a difference, they would not have supported Rev. JJ who only promotes a negative stereotype and racial conflict.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Greetings ewing, FReepers, et al:

LOL!
Phil to Je$$e: "I Love You Je$$e."
Je$$e to Phil: "I Love Me Too."

[ewing]

And all this time I thought Don King was the most inspirational black Amercian!

[The Wizard]

that's true if you're talking about target shooters or hunters

[Dante3]

From what I'm reading, that show reminds me of the "Gong Show" by exhibiting Rev. JJ to as a pathetic buffoon of himself to be laughed at.

[WaterDragon]

The only thing Jesse Jackson epitomizes is the old human failing of greed.

[DonQ]

Here's the relevant portion of the transcript:

ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS: You know, I just want to make it clear, my respect for Reverend Jackson and the bridges that he’s built. But you know-you know, my problem in listening to Reverend Jackson this evening is that he’s so quick to talk about blacks as perpetual victims. And when he talked about Affirmative Action, he mentions Justice Thomas and Colin Powell. I think the failing in his leadership today, that he fails to talk about the fact that less than 10 percent of the people in this country, really, especially when it comes to colleges and universities, benefit from Affirmative Action.
So the question begs, how is it that the other 90 percent survive? There are so many black people that make do through sacrifice and struggling and obstacles to make their way through life, to get through college. Affirmative Action had nothing to do with it. It’s a sad statement for to you leave America believing tonight that the only way they can make it in America is through Affirmative Action. There are a lot of success stories in this country, and they are black.
You cannot make these kids feel as though they are hopeless, and unless they have Affirmative Action, and unless they see themselves as perpetual victims...

JESSE JACKSON: No one...

ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS: ... they cannot make it.
Progress is being made every day. Things happen, Reverend Jackson. People struggle. They have obstacles, but they find a way to overcome...

DONAHUE: Reverend Jackson’s on the air now...
(CROSSTALK)
DONAHUE: Give him a chance here.

JACKSON: No one has inspired more blacks for hope in America than I have. If the schools were all of one race, grades would not be-for example, you and I are black. We disagree. You worked for Strom Thurmond. He’s your hero. I worked for Dr. King. He’s my hero. I have a different orientation than you. Grades are not-you are driven by...

WILLIAMS: You’re just trying to insult me, Reverend Jackson.

JACKSON: ... Strom Thurmond. I’m driving by Martin Luther King.

.......

[TLBSHOW]

and Bush sends his people to speak at his shakedown well now we know why!

[Stefan Stackhouse]

If causing one to be "inspired" to barf counts, then this just might be right.

[Guillermo]

Was the money donated or extorted...

[ewing]

Watch out! Warner Brothers is bringing back the Gong Show as a series soon.. we could have 'Jihad Cindy'McKinney, Patty Murray and Carol Mostly Fraud on the panel with Reverend Al

[cactusSharp]

Jesse Jackson is mafia pure and simple

[ewing]

I'm sorry, I should have attached a 'mega hurl' alert

[ewing]

His shakedown take must be going down with Reverend Al in the Presdiential sweepstakes

[Stand Watch Listen]

Did not make sense at times. lots of blather, lots of words, no substance.

Hmmmmm...and your point is??? Most of his appearances make little sense and possess little substance.

Je$$e Jack$on, as a race inciting 'proverty pimp' and ever volatile 'race warlord', has made a fortune while accomplishing little in the betterment of his race. His insipid 'prose' is never questioned by the media. His asinine pronoucements are never researched for authenticity. The government (IRS) has accommodated him with double standards.

[L.N. Smithee]

'No one has inspired more blacks for hope in America than I have,' he modestly declared.

Or inspired as many gallons of vomit.

LOL

[timestax]

Sounds like he's been taking sound bite lessons from ole Billdo Clintoon!

[timestax]

[Dante3]

Mrs. Dukakis had some interesting comments in her book about Rev. JJ's food preferences. If I recall right, she said he eats only fried chicken.

[stand watie]

modest, too!

ROTFLMAO!

FRee dixie,sw

It was the day after the world became aware of Jesse Jackson's adultery and infidelity.

Jesse got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked in the mirror and saw a white band just above his eyes to the top of his head. It looked like he was turning white, possibly with the same condition that Michael Jackson has. Jesse rushed to the phone and called his doctor and told him of his problem.

The doctor advised him that he needed to come to his office immediately.

Upon examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to Jesse, and told him to drink it. Jesse did and commented that it tasted like $hit, to which the doctor replied,

"It was, Jesse. You were a quart low."

[jws3sticks]

Don't forget about Jesse's little beach girl in California.
