In this, the golden age of information, I am continually amazed at how certain facts never seem to filter down to the general population. Jesse Jackson’s extramarital affairs have been talked about for many, many years and I can not imagine anyone being shocked or surprised at these so-called ‘revelations’ of late. In the late eighties, both he and the Rainbow/PUSH coalition were under the IRS microscope for a warehouse full of violations and outright fraud. Like magic, he became ‘untouchable’ for fear of inciting widespread racial unrest, which he and his people threatened at every turn. During the 90’s, this extortion was taken to a new and sophisticated level, with corporate America the prime target.

Does anyone really care about Jesse’s sex life any more than they do about Clinton’s? In both instances, their infidelities have opened the gates for all manners of paybacks relating to much more serious violations of public trust and outright criminal activities.

How will the African American community react to Jesse’s outlandish pimping of their trust and financial support? Handing out hundreds like they grow on trees, which in Jackson’s case is not far from the truth. Where in the hell do you think all of this money came from? Jesse Jackson is a hypocritical racist that will discover, like Clinton, that the honest hard working people that have stood behind him will now bend him over.

I think "Ain't" does, and Uncle Boob.

Come to think of it, most of the rightwing morons seem fascinated with the sex lives of Democrats. Maybe they never get laid.

Maybe the Democrats never have sex, you ask. Why don't we ask some of them?
