Rev Jackson's motivation

Gives "strange bedfellows" new meaning.

Re: Rev Jackson's motivation


bingo!!! Although I'd probably have a better time hanging out with Jesse.

What a maroon! Just when you thought there were no more asses to be seen...

Hmm, I see we all, so far, have voted that Jackson is the same as DeLay. I was tempted to vote "Worse" simply because Jackson has taken great pains to appeal to the working poor and has maintained a fairly liberal stance. Tom DeLay, on the other hand, is unabashedly corrupt and self-serving. Yes, Jackson is worse!! Is it possible to change my vote?

Blueveinedthrobber, I agree about having a more interesting time with Jackson, but then I'm also from NM. Being from Roswell, you are most likely a little weirder, but not by much, I promise! LOL

Oh puhleeze. Elmer Gantry is at it again. To me, the only "Reverend" who had less credibility than Jackson, is Al Sharpton. BTW, where IS old Al during all this storm and fury?

Roswell is way weird, Diane. They keep pet tumbleweeds.

Uh, why would anyone use "motivation" in the same paragraph as "Jessee Jackson"?

Isn't Jesse a little late to the party..........??

I voted number three. I have always liked Jesse and always will.

What I can't figure out is why he appears in the scenario at a time guaranteed to be too late. Surely, her body must have sustained irreversible damage going without food this long.

Jesse is looking for a cause, any cause to get his name in the news. He hasn't yet realized that his time as past. The reverend Al, from the church of who knows what, has supplanted him.

jesse's motivation is always the greater glory of jesse.

at least al hung out with the godfather of soul. heyy-ya, good gawd !

Jackson is aware of polls showing that his stance is not popular; still, all you geniuses of interpreting Jackson's every move in the lowest possible terms think his motivation is self serving headlines.

sorry edgar. we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. i just don't think the guy is coming from a real place anymore.

I'm fed up with seemingly reasonable people attacking his every move. Anybody in the spotlight long enough will exhibit some flaws; I think it's a masked bigotry that says, attack at will anytime his name comes up.

maybe it is for some edgar, not for me. i don't have some burning hate for the guy or anything, just don't see that he goes out of his way to actually initiate anything over the last several years. i'd like to see him do that as i was a fan.

edgar- It really pisses me off, when someone does not have a reasonable counterargument, the old bugaboo, "bigotry" gets trotted out. To me, Jackson is no more than an opportunist, who thrives on media coverage.

The reason that I think that he is worse than DeLay, is because however awful DeLay is, he is putting his ass on the line, politically. Jackson, on the other hand, has nothing to lose, and can breeze from one issue to another, until he finds one that is to his advantage.

So, get pissed.

The "Reverand" Jackson is a quintessential bottom feeder in his arena. A patented, and frequently foolish, demagogue he thrives on sowing racial strife, trumpeting trumped up racial slights, essentially ensuring that a racial wound is kept in perpetuity, as should he fail in his mission to incite and inflame America's black population, he himself would be relegated to appropriate obscurity. Jackson, and the host of other organizations, constantly trying to bring racial tensions to the forefront - and frequently to the boiling point - are some of the most insidious and detrimental factions in our country today. (Imagine if a white man was allowed to incessantly gripe about societies mistreatment of whites, condemn blacks as "agents of oppression", and champion criminals and miscreants with the defense of "police brutality - i.e. by black police officers", this individual would be dubbed a racist and isolated as would be appropriate).

Haven't you learned yet that only white' people can be racist. Shame.
