Nothing. Just a thought I had.

I would be interested to know what kind of appeal a guy like Jackson has these days.
If he gets behind your cause, is it dead in the water? Kind of like having Johnny Cocran show up to defend you at trial...it just doesn't look credible (even though he has passed on now)

Understood.
I'm no liberal, but I think Jackson hurts more than he helps whatever it is that he is trying to do. Teaching people to always play the victim is not going to change anything.

I know what I think of the guy, I think he belongs in prison for being a life long extortionist.
But I'm curious as to what the liberals think of him.

Jesse has his place within a very small community. I would say that for the most part he is irrelevant, and every time he becomes involved in an issue it damages the movement that he seeks to support. Sort of like Pat Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell. So I wish he would be quiet.

I'm not a liberal but I'll let Booker T. Washington sum of my opinion on Jesse and Al.
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." And I'd add that there's politicians of all stripes and colors who are like this. They make their living off bringing up the same issues over and over but they never really try to solve anything, because it's not in their best interests. But no one does it better than Jesse and Al. Last edited by Venkman; 05-16-2007 at 06:07 AM. |
