Web Results: Jesse Jackson Now The Darling Of The Right Wing Media

[norml]

When did he ever say anything about this issue before? Will Jesse Jackson, like Jerry Brown, find a second career as a stooge for Fox News, and the rest of their ilk. They certainly love Jesse today, giving him lots of positive coverage. Does he have a book coming out soon? And all this a day after the right wing media was bashing him for talking with, and supporting Michael Jackson on his radio show. :eyes:

[Zuni]

1. That MJ interview was bizarre

but Freepers have picked up the bait

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1373209/posts

[LostinVA]

4. I watched that yesterday on Court TV

Very, very strange... Rev. Jackson may have jumped the shark. <sigh>

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. It's Amazing The Overlapping Of Themes At The Two Sites...

Some freepers are praising him for his stance on this issue as are some DUers but among those who are criticizing him he's a camera chasing, self serving buffoon...


The difference is some of us here loved him before and love him now....


The irony.... Oh.... The irony...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. As Du has demonstrated, this isn't a right or left wing issue

again, I DO sympathize with those posters who have a concern about oter ramifications of this case. I agree there are other ramifications either way.

I think it's great that the right has embraced Reverend Jackson after assassinating his character all these years. I think it will lend credibility the next time he's interviewed anywhere.

Besides, I DO fear for the black community if something isn't done to clarify the law as it stands. I believe there is a need for clarification.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. In Another Thread He's Being Called An Anti-Semite And Homophobe

God forbid he strayed from so called liberal orthodoxy....


This is beginning to remind me of the fatwas issued on Salman Rushdie ...

[SaveElmer]

7. If you are referring to the law by which Terri Schaivo's tube was removed

It is very clear...so clear the 23 different judges have interpreted it the same way. It is being clouded by the lazy media, and the reprehensible bloodsuckers in congress and florida trying to gain political advantage from this. And I would include Jesse Jackson in that category. This is nothing but a publicity stunt for him. I can't believe I ever voted for that guy!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. How Many Courts And For How Long Ratified Slavery And Jim Crow?

I'm not equating Jim Crow, slavery, and the Schiavo case but I am saying that while a court decision ends all legal action it does not prevent us from discussion and protest...


God bless Jesse Jackson...


Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy were in my pantheon of liberal icons... I have just added the Reverend Jackson to that group...

[SaveElmer]

12. Fair point...but

Then you are not arguing that the law is not clear...you are arguing it is wrong. I most vehemently disagree with that assessment!!! The government has no right to interfere in these decisions. Michael Schiavo is clearly acting on behalf of his wife, and is doing it based on her wishes. That is all we need to know! The rest is political posturing. Jesse Jackson ought to be ashamed of himself!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Actually I Am Arguing Both But The Argument Is Sterile Now

I understand the law and the facts in this case...


I question the law, specifically the standard of proof on which they made their decision and I also question the facts....


The courts have decided....


I reject their decision as does the Reverand....

[FreedomAngel82]

21. It is not your decision

It's not YOUR place to reject the decision. The only person who has any say in what happens is the husband. He's her guardian. Not you. Not Jesse Jackson. Nobody but Michael Schavio. What is so hard to understand? You don't have to like the decision but it's ONLY HIS to make. Butt out.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. I Can Question The Decision Of The Court...

I believe the case was wrongly decided...

Wrong on the standard of proof and wrong on the facts...


I'm not black and I'm not gay but that wouldn't have prevented me from questioning the wisdom of the Dred Scott or the Plessey v Ferguson decision and it didn't prevent me from questioning the wisdom of Hardwick v Georgia...

Your logic is flawed....

[SaveElmer]

30. Using two lines of reasoning...

Your not basing your rejection of Dred Scott on a standard of proof argument I hope. It was a clearly immoral decision made at a time when the role of the supreme court was still debatable.

And, respectfully, like those who disagreed with the decisions in Brown v Board of Education and Roe v Wade, in my opinion, you are clearly on the wrong side of this issue.

[SaveElmer]

29. The standard of proof

In these cases is the second highest "Clear and Convincing" evidence which is the second highest standard behind "beyond a reasonable doubt" used in criminal cases. Twenty three judges affirmed that high standard had been met in this case. I think the system is working exactly as it should!! Terri Schiavo's wishes are being adhered to.

The rest is noise

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. I Defer...

Clear and convincing evidence is a puny standard when life and liberty is at stake... It's little higher than the burden of proof a
litigant has to establish to prevail in a mere breach of contract dispute which is the "preponderance of evidence" or "more likely than not"...

The standard should be "beyond a reasonable doubt" when one's life is at stake...


This is like OJ...

There will always be folks who say OJ didn't do it and folks that say O J did as there will always be folks who say Terri didn't say it and folks who who say Terri did...

[SaveElmer]

34. Her life and liberty are at stake...

People are trying to deny her her wish to die with dignity!

It's her choice, she made it, that should be the end of it!

[Runcible Spoon]

36. "God bless Jesse Jackson"

WHY oh WHY do you feel the need to inject religion into this? Do you really want to start (I should say continue, but for the sake of argument...) down to road of allowing religious organizations to affect the decisions of doctors, courts, and judges? Even if their beliefs are based on bad science?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. Actually, I am not challenging the exact law that removed TS's feeding

tube, and IN this particular case, I am satisfied that her intent was discerned.

My concern is that some states consider PVS a terminal illness, as does Florida law and others don't. Frankly, PVS only truly becomes a terminal illness after a period of time. That needs to be clarified. The medical community does not even consider PVS a terminal illness until after a certain time frame has passed. The actual DEFINITION of it and WHEN AND IN WHAT INSTANCES it can be defined as terminal needs to be better flushed out for the sake of the public and future cases.

BTW, as one who has been a lawyer for 23 years, the fact that 23 judges agree is meaningless in and of itself. When ALL facts are considered in this case, I do believe the decision reached was proper, but not SOLELY due to the number of judges agreeing to uphold the decision. Probably 50 judges felt Geronimo Pratt's conviction was properly reached. Turned out it wasn't.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. They only reason they are

is because of this one issue and how he's siding with them. As soon as this whole crap is over with they'll be back to hating him. Especially since he's for voting rights for everybody and the GOP leaders love to control the machine's etc.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. You Nailed It...

But I'm consistent....


I liked the Reverand pre-Schiavo and I like the Rev post Schiavo...

[ElectroPrincess]

3. We are being sold out (the working and middle class) by these so called

*representatives* ... religious, political etc. THEY'RE ALL sucking at the Corporate Teat.

This is CLASS WARFARE. Even Bill Bennett would support the forgoing statement as "a safe bet." :puke:

[0007]

10. Thanks for ruining my day by mentioning William Bennett

just the mere thought of this righteous asshole can set me off like a rocket.

[sandnsea]

6. It sure confuses partisanship

I'm for Jesse Jackson taking fundie positions more often, just to watch their heads spin around trying to figure out what to think.

[Jack Rabbit]

8. He'll be their darling until he says something about killing Iraqis

Then they'll go back to demonizing him.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. They Are Already Freaking Out At Freak Republic...

I am not at all suprised by his stance...

[SaveElmer]

13. Me either...best way to get his mug on TV

If he respected Michael and Terri's wishes he would have kept silent. But then of course, he would have been one among many who are doing the right thing. This way he gets his mug on TV and gets the publicity he craves above all else!

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Neither am I

He's expressed reservations about abortion in the past, although not outright opposition to a woman's right to choose. He has a number of socially conservative views, although (and this is the saving grace) I have never heard him suggest that the power of the state be used to enforce those views.

[charlie]

15. He's wrong

and I'd rather he'd stay out of it. But, he's not threatening the president, the governor, the judge, Mr Schiavo, or anyone who disagrees with him. He makes a good contrast of the difference between our Men o' God and theirs. There's at least that.

[jdots]

16. Never ever under estimate Jesse Jackson

Blow it out your ass all you want,but you have no idea what is on his mind.Put me on ignore and just watch t.v. and listen to your enemys till your head explodes.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. The Anchor On FOX Looked Like He Had A Lemon In His Mouth

when he realized him and Jesse were ostensibly on the same page....

[Radical Activist]

24. Good advice.

Jesse might be the smartest strategist us Democrats have.

If he goes to right-wing media maybe its because the establishment center-left white Democratic pundits and media don't take him as seriously as they should.
It doesn't exactly bother me for right wingers to see that there is such a thing as a liberal Christian perspective.

[CountAllVotes]

33. hey I agree !

Never underestimate this FINE man! I've been a long time advocate of Jesse Jackson!

GO JESSE!

:kick:

[Radical Activist]

25. Oh no! A black man on television! How did this happen?!

Somebody has to stop this! Its an outrage!
:sarcasm:

[NWHarkness]

27. Jesse has rescued the GOP

The Schiavo fiasco was the worst disaster for the GOP since Watergate.

But, now, thanks to Jesse, no Democrat will be able to hang it around their necks. He's given the far right all the cover they need to wiggle out from under the consequences of this mess and continue their assault on secular society.

Thanks, Jesse.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. The Civil Rights Movement Was Born In The Black Church

Figuratively and literally...

Was that an assault on secular society...

[SaveElmer]

31. Civil Rights...

Is not an effort to cram a particular theology down the throats of everyone else. This Schiavo business is clearly an effort by the religious right (and a few publicity hounds like Jesse Jackson) to force their view of when life ends, and how it should end, on everyone else, based on a religious argument.

Civil Rights grew out of black churches because in most cases that is the only place blacks were allowed to congregate without interference.

[Itsthetruth]

35. Democrats Are Trying To Hang Republicans On This?

"But, now, thanks to Jesse, no Democrat will be able to hang it around their necks."

What leading Democrats were trying to hang Republicans on this issue?

They have either been hiding or voting with the Republicans in Congress on this.
