The tragedy (Katrina) that has caused hundreds of thousands to seek refuge (i.e. to become a “refugee”) has become the personal grand-stand of a failed cleric, a tarnished man of the cloth. Jesse Jackson has proved himself to be nothing more than a publicity hound for years. It was not, however, until his adulterous relationship that produced an illigitmate child surfaced that people started realizing the sorry excuse for a man was nothing more than walking, talking hypocrisy.

Why do we listen to this man? If you think we should listen to him because his skin is dark, then you are a racist.

Now, he’s trying to re-define the English language in a situation that can only be said to be a grab for the limelight.

Use of Word ‘Refugee’ Stirs Debate

“It is racist to call American citizens refugees,” Jesse Jackson said, visiting the Houston Astrodome on Monday.

This is the same man who grabbed the limelight when Clinton faced his charges of adultery (only to reveal his hypocrisy shortly thereafter).

This is the same man who grabbed the limelight, using the cause of a a family trying to keep their brain-dead daughter’s body on life-support (Shiavo).

This is the man who leapt up–-not to help, mind you–-but to grand-stand and stretch for the limelight yet again over the broken, drowned bodies of the tragic victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Why do people listen to this walking insult? Why? Why?!

“I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson practices, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?” –George Carlin
