PINELLAS PARK, Fla. Mar 29, 2005 — The parents of Terri Schiavo met and prayed Tuesday with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who called her impending death "an injustice." Joining the conservatives who have rallied to the parents' cause, the liberal Jackson said he would call state senators who opposed legislation that would have reinserted Schiavo's feeding tube and ask them to reconsider. Terri Schiavo was in her 12th day without food and water. Her husband and guardian, Michael Schiavo, has insisted that he was carrying out her wishes by having her feeding tube pulled. His lawyer said Monday that an...

Steve Barrett reporting that "The Reverend Jessie Jackson has accepted the family's invitation to join the demonstrators outside the hospice where Terri is dying." 1. Is this turning into way too much of a circus? 2. Want to bet the race-baiting poverty pimp invited himself?

This is a rewrite of a song from 5 years ago. How time flies. J.C. Watts called Jesse a race-baiting poverty pimp. Watts was right on the mark. When the victim mentality goes away, the race-baiting poverty pimps will finally go away. MIDI - FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - scroll down to WIZARD OF OZ section (note: I know that the original song really has nothing to do with the content of this parody, but it is the only song I found where "race-baiting poverty pimp" will fit. :) Race-baiting poverty pimp…race-baiting poverty pimp Reverend Jesse Jackson is a...

NEW YORK A syndicated newspaper column by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, which slammed Ohio's handling of the recent presidential election, is being accused of "blatant inaccuracies" by the Ohio Secretary of State's office. Carlo Lo Paro, press secretary for Republican Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, claims that Jackson's column, distributed earlier this week through Tribune Media Services, contains numerous inaccuracies that hint at improper behavior by Blackwell's office. "We expect someone writing an op-ed and a syndicate distributing that op-ed would fact-check information and have a responsibility to the facts," Lo Paro told E&P Wednesday. "We believe someone can have...

Jackson himself uttered a veiled criticism of Kerry this week, telling CNN that ''Mr. Kerry is reaching out, but he needs more than a shake-up. A shake-up cannot just be a vanilla shake. It has to be a bonding of the base." In 1988, Jackson overcame initial doubts about Massachusetts Governor Michael S. Dukakis, and the Dukakis campaign provided Jackson with his own plane to travel the country and help motivate black voters. This year, said Lynch of the Kerry campaign, Jackson ''will have his own plan, he will not have his own plane," but acknowledged that logistics of Jackson's...

President Bush went on ''Meet the Press'' to explain his policies in light of a continuing bloody and costly occupation in Iraq and a jobless recovery at home.

(CNSNews.com) - An official with the New York Stock Exchange has confirmed that it will once again provide financial support for Jesse Jackson and his Wall Street Conference in January. The news is consolation to Jackson, who will for the first time be unable to use the prestige of the NYSE floor to host his Wall Street Project gala fundraiser. "We are a sponsor again," said NYSE spokesman Rich Adamonis in an interview with CNSNews.com. When asked how much the NYSE was contributing to Jackson's group, Adamonis declined to be specific. "We don't disclose that amount, but it is similar...

A Loop rally demanding more jobs for young black men turned into a protest against the leadership of Reverend Jesse Jackson. With roughly 100,000 Chicagoans between 16 and 24 out of work or not in school, Rainbow Push was hoping to call to action disenfranchised young people, but a group of people disenchanted with Jesse Jackson led a spirited protest that sometimes drowned out the message of more jobs. Hundreds converged upon a frigid Federal Plaza today to hear politicians and political candidates talk passionately about creating more jobs. "Since this is a union working town the unions need to...

I have reflected a great deal over the years about the need for dialogue and unity among various minority and progressive communities. The presidential primary process is underway, and this is the time when the candidates within the Democratic party work to differentiate themselves from one other. It is important, however, to keep in mind that the end goal for all of us is to elect a Democratic president who will work to provide a decent education for the most underprivileged children, pass tax cuts for the lower and middle classes rather than the wealthy, protect the environment and a...

Forum organizers said the preacher's aides told them he couldn't make it because two US Airways shuttle flights to Washington were canceled. But the airline says both flights left on time from La Guardia Airport.</p>
