I'm a liberal, and I abhor Jesse Jackson

Woah there Mr. anti-semite.

I've never seen anyone on this board or real life defend him

I agree. However, I do think that the media does promote him or else they wouldn't give him air time. If he was as insignificant on the world stage as you and I are, then we would never see his face again or hear his words again.

I am enjoying reading comments on huffington post, cnn, yahoo, etc...typically bastions of liberal thought where all are pissed how race is being brought into this.

Finally, after years of many of us trying to show these people the bullshite that the jacksons of the world spew, they are finally seeing it for themselves as soon as their lives are potentially threatened.

I disagree. The MSM gives Jackson air time because he's a name, not because of his influence. It's the same reason MSNBC gave a gig to Al Sharpton, a man who never attended college, instead of one of the dozen or so educated and formally-trained Black journalists who were waiting in the wings.

Jackson does more to separate the races than does to bring equality.

Yiu can say the exact same thing about the Democratic Party.

Well if that's not promotion then I don't know what is. You said it yourself, the media gives them time when they don't have the credentials of more qualified people to be in the position they, JJ and AS, are in.

I'm a Republican and hate murder.

Why?

Because they detract from the liberals who are misguided but genuinely want what they think is best for the country. The race merchants are interested only in stirring up the subcultures for personal gain and recognition.
