Jesse Jackson: Kerry's Early Concession speech betrayed...

[Melodybe]

Over at commondreams they have a snipet from 11 hours ago on Pacifica Radio. All it says is "Jesse Jackson:Kerry's Early Concession speech betrayed..."

So let me say WHAT!?!? his own gut feeling? his better intuitions? the American people?

What is Kerry betraying? If he and Jackson are in this together why would Jackson say 11 hours ago that Kerry betrayed anyone?

I am very confused about this blurb and if anyone can clarify what Jackson was talking about or give me a link to a transcript I would greatly appreciate it.

9. We must march against Fox and the rigged election.

Not talk. Action. STREET action. Action in the STREETS. Huge public protest. A joint protest against the rigged election and Fox right in front of Fox World Headquarters in New York with the chant, “Rupert Murdoch, tell the truth! Fascists rigged the voting booth!” Fox is headquartered in mid-Manhattan on the SECOND floor. We’re going to be right outside their windows by the thousands screaming our guts out where they can hear us. Bad vibrations? Too bad studio soundproofing isn’t perfect. We must deny them legitimacy at all costs. Bush didn’t win. His election is a fake. Vast numbers of Americans still don’t know this because Bush shills like Fox cover it up. Fox must be targeted. Their headquarters are in New York. The other papers and media in New York will cover this protest because they all hate Fox’s living guts in New York. See this blog:

Add your comments there, keep that thread kicked. There’s going to be a huge march in New York combining protest against the rigged election and the Bush shills like Fox who cover it up, a double whammy. After that, the cat will be out of the bag and Bush will have lost legitimacy.

Why is that important? Because legitimacy is essential for de facto power. Official or “de jure” power is not enough for a leader to maintain control. He has to also have the INTANGIBLES of legitimacy — de facto authority. That’s why presidents can become lame ducks in their second term. Bush must be denied LEGITIMACY. His whole presidency must be publicly DELEGITIMIZED. People in other countries will hear about the march too. This will add to his difficulties diplomatically overseas. To deny legitimacy we must march against the rigged election.

Where? At the number one shill covering it up — Fox. Fox Headquarters in New York. Fox may or may not admit we are in front of their New York offices but the other New York news organizations will because they hate Fox. See the above blog for full details on that and the whole march plan. See and post on the above thread to get involved. Keep that thread kicked.

4. Google News is your friend

AMY GOODMAN: Reverend Jackson, Democracy Now! just went to Spain and Italy and on one of the main TV stations called RAI in Rome, the interviewer asked about the election and I said, “Well, really we don't really know who won.” And his eyebrows raised very high and he said, “Excuse me. Kerry conceded. Haven't you heard?” Now what about this, Reverend Jackson? What about Kerry immediately conceding?

JESSE JACKSON: The early concession betrayed the trust of the voters. We have a moral obligation and a legal obligation to see that every vote counts and whether Kerry gets the most votes or not, we must break a precedent of fraudulent elections. For the Secretary of the State, in fact, can be the co-chair of a campaign and run the process -- that's like a team owner of a baseball team being the umpire at game seven of the World Series. You can't be a team owner and be a referee at the same time. You can't have Katherine Harris and Ken Blackwell as chairs of the campaign and in charge of the process. It taints the credibility of the process at the very beginning.

6. Thanks I googled it but nothing came up

Glad to have the entire sentence. I of cource agree with the Reverend but had no clue to what he was referring.

Apparently he has Kerry's blessing, but it is still a harsh but true comment.

7. what's not to agree with here? n/t

5. its been an uphill battle since kerry conceded

we might have had a chance if kerry hadn't taken the easy way out. we've had to depend on the glibs to do kerrys'job for him. it seems almost too eagerly he conceded even before all the votes were in.
i will no longer put my faith in kerry. if by some miracle we win this without any help from kerry i will support him just for this term but next i want a fighter. not someone who quits without a whimper at the first obstacle. so no more door to door no more phone calls from me for kerry.
