Yes. I think he should follow Bob Livingston's fine example.

The worst of it is, congressional opposition is effectively muted
because Larry Flynt still has half a dozen names in his little black
book and nobody knows who they are.

It's a shame.

Cut the guy some slack. He's a red-blooded American male and a human
being. Of course he's going to have some flaws. The fact that he
is a minister has nothing to do with it. "All have sinned and fallen
short of the glory of God".

I'm sure Jackson's critics are going to have a field day with this,
but I am very opposed to using purely personal matters to try to rip
down your political opponents. Particularly in light of the fact that
Jackson has never been a preachy moralist on matters of marital fidelity,
to the best of my knowledge. Jackson's beliefs, political tactics, etc
should be opposed on their own merits, if that is what you want to do.
But don't rip the guy up because he had an affair.

You mean other than that it was posted by a moron who cites an idiot who

The issue isn't the affair, but rather the monies to cover it up.

Rev. Jackson is supposed is in charge or employed by a non-for-
profit orgization. Where he got 365K+40K+24*10K or over a half
a million dollars (provided the information is true) should be
of interest. Especially to the people who contribute their hard
earned dollars to his non-for-profit group and the tax payers
should his group receieve or use public monies for their work.

It could pose a problem if John Ashcroft managed to pull his pecker

basically, jesse jackson supporters will continue to be jesse jackson

with the kind of money that jesse jackson can command doing public
speaking do you think that he does them for free? and with the
wealth that he has accumulated over the years, you do you think
that he might have aggrandized his wealth even further with
investments?

yet, with no knowledge you ignorantly declare that there is fraud
involved in jackson's finances. furthermore, based upon what i've
heard on the radio it appears that you're jumping to conclusions
beyond what you have actual facts to back up.

can you spell S.T.U.P.I.D.?

before you start typing, i'll remind you that you should know by now
that your usual tactic of saying anything to "win" an argument
doesn't work with me since i've aced your ass several times when
you've tried that bullshit.

you don't know anything about what you are talking, it's just
ignorant blather. how do you know that jackson's only source
of income is from non-profits? i assumed that he gets *no*
income from operation p.u.s.h. since he's got so many money
making opportunities it wouldn't be worth taking it. for
instance, when jax does (or did) his program on cnn do you
think that he was doing it for free? when jax does public
speaking do you think that he does it for free? is it your
thinking that the only way that jax could have credibility with
you is if he were a pauper? since it doesn't appear to be the
case anyway it appears that jax's finances have *nothing* to do
with what you think of him.

but as i've said, the jesse jackson haters are going to be haters
no matter what he does. i mean, the guy could come up with a cure
for the aids virus and people would still try to find a reason to
complain, or declare some type of "intrigue" about it.

c'mon, ron, you're being as kneejerk as the jackson bashers are. what do
you have to say about the fact that a minister fathered a child with a
woman who was not his wife, and tried pretty hard to cover it up? or the
fact that he was ministering to a US President regarding marital
fidelity at the same time he was sticking it on the side?

how so? when has jax done something (such as brining back our
people held in bosnia) without inventing claims about how he might
have "possibly" violated some law. our current drooling, retard
senator peter "elected because i'm white" fitzgerald refused to vote
for the resolution commending jax even though jax is a resident of
this state!

jax is basically a lightning rod. the nature of lightning rods is
that for some they walks on water and for others they can do no
right.

of course, if you read the post to which i responded that wasn't
the point being raised by the poster to which i responded. however
to the question that you're raised independently (while incorrectly
linking it to an unrelated thought), i think that this says that
jackson is not "holier than thou". however, i don't recall jax
claiming to be such - which is a lot more than can be said about
many politicians in washington. i mean, how badly was henry hyde
damaged by revelation of his affair? he recently got re-elected.

as far as charges of a "cover up", to whom is it your contention
that he was supposed to reveal this? are you suggesting that when
he found out he was the father of the baby that he was supposed to
call a press conference to announce it??? i mean, really, think
about it.

Here's why the Rev. J. Jackson deal is different. The Rev JJ. is
an official Christian holy man of God. The assumption is that
he (although a sinner like all of us) will be keeping all ten
of the commandments. The story would get a similar play
if he had embezzled donations, got caught watching porno,
or allowed his elderly parents to live in squalor.

(It occurs to me that newsmen and their audiences love
irony, but I won't pursue this further.)

however, to my knowledge, jesse jackson is *not* a practicing
minister. to my knowledge, he does not have a congregation to
which he sermons every sunday. he is basically an activist
and a politician whose base is in the church as has historically
been the case (until recently) with black people. so i think
that your analogy to people like jimmy swaggart is a bit incorrect.

But: he still is a minister of the Gospel AFAIK: he did not
resign his commission or whatever the phrase would be. If he
dropped "the Rev." and was just plain old Mr. it would be
different. If he had said he was going to drop the Gospel
for Hugh Hefner's Playboy Philosophy it would be pretty
clear he had a change of heart.

Even in that case people would still think that he should
know better.

Moreover, even for a politician (Bill C., Teddy Kennedy,
Henry Hyde, that congressman from Indiana) producing
a bastard is still pretty tacky.

In the NY Times article today, "Rev." is the second word. It also
mentions his status as Baptist minister, former associate of
Dr. King, and Clinton spiritual adviser.

No: that his professional education would have covered the
ten commandments in depth; more so than the average pol.'s
education. I believe Paul Simon studied to be a minister;
could you imagine him producing a child out of wedlock?

Yes. I don't think they were swept away on a tide of passion. We're
not talking about horny teenagers here. They were certainly old
enough to know better.

In addition, women pushing 40 are considerably less fertile than they
were at say, 30. They must have been carrying on for quite a long
time for her to get pregnant.

Interpretations differ, Ronald. Some people interpret him as an activist
first (in which case the adultery is pretty irrelevent), a politcal
leader second (which is a bit more involved as it calls into question the
moral fiber and trustworthiness of the man) and as a social leader (very
important as he has preached out on family and parenting, so it IS very,
very hypocritical of him to father a bastard whilst bemoaning the lack of
two-parent families in the black community).

To me, the fact that he DOES call himself a Rev. and uses the title means
that he MUST accept the higher moral standard that men of God are (and
should) be held to.


> he should know better than the numerous other politicians (in
> washington and elsewhere)?

Yes, because he is a minister, and ministers are supposed to have a
higher level of moral strength and to serve as an example to weaker men.
Politicians are not men of God. Reverends are. He SHOULD know better.

> do you really think that he *intended* to do so?

No, but that he wasn't careful enough to avoid it further damages his
ability and repuation when it comes to speaking out to young black teens
about being responsible, protecting themselves, and, y'know, not knocking
each other up and stuff.

You're really reaching to defend him now, Ron, btw.

Must be a pretty understanding empolyer to let him take off

Chasing cameras must pay alot more than what one would think.

jax = jesse jackson?

I never said he did. But a half million dollars is alot of
money, even for the good reverend.

Nice, typical usenet tatic. I never mentioned the man's credibility.
The question however remains, where did the money come from?
Unless 'jax' is like bill gates or something a half million is still
ALOT of money. Anyone who is in charge of donated funds or tax monies
would be suspect when they could just 'find' large sums such as
these to do things.

Usually there is something at the bottom of it. Such as I once thought
it was odd that Clinton could afford such an expesive home. Later it
was reported he got an interest free loan.....

So Jax's wife just didn't notice the half million missing
from the family's saving's account is what you are saying?

Jesse Jackson is an irrelvant camera chaser IMO. He has become
cartoonish all of his own doing.

Jesse Jackson is really a political figure rather than a preacher. He
doesn't have his own church anymore, but he does still occassionally
preach sermons. Is he actually ordained by anyone? A lot of Protestant
denominations are very informal about that stuff.

Was it? Did he admit that or is it just part of the National Enquirer
story. Certainly credible evidence of misappropriation of funds should
be investigated, but until there's some sort of solid proof, I'll

It was reliably reported by a variety of valid media sources today. The
monthly support payments come from Jesse's own money.

If you're a highly-ranked employee of an organization it's not unusual for
them to pay for your relocation. Do we know that she was relocated
because of the Rev.'s wrongdoing? Chicago is an awfully big place. I can't
find that anywhere.. I suspect the media just assumed this and ran with it.

as i said earlier, until recent years black leaders had their base
in the church. it makes sense, black people couldn't vote and elect
leaders as could white people so it was effectively the only avenue
by which black leaders could be identified. from that base jesse
jackson became a social activist and political leader. he is not
standing on the pulpit every sunday preaching hellfire and what
people have to do to get salvation. maybe at one time he did have
a congregation and engage in such rhetoric, but he doesn't now.

emerging black leaders these days aren't based upon the black church
as was the case in the past. more conventional avenues are
available - at least for the time being. for instance, jax jr. is
not a minister.

to call jax a "clinton spiritual advisor" is pretty laughable given
that until a few years ago they were *politically* at odds. jesse
jackson, like many black people (visible and less visible) were key
supporters of clinton during the republican scandals. i can
certainly believe that jax gave clinton many a hortatory word during
their private discussions but i can't imagine clinton baring his
deepest thoughts to jax, with whom he may possible have future
political disagreements, as he would if he were speaking to his
personal pastor. at least i find that hard to believe. don't you?

i presume jimmy swaggart also studied to be a minister. but what
did it mean? i suppose the same could be said for jim baker and
other less known ministers. what does it mean? i think that it
means that you can't just make assumptions about people just because
they studied for the ministry or maintain a "family values" public
image - you never know what lurks in the crepuscular nether spaces
of a person's life. i think that it means that the best that you
can do with religion is to use it to establish goals and objectives
for the betterment of *your* life and not so much as a means of
drawing conclusions about the personal conduct of the lives of
others - much of which you don't know about anyway.

one thing that i have learned is that you can't just take rote
professions of religious devotion to translate into a particular
pattern of behavior. the reason being that another person may not
form the same interpretations that you might. during slavery
ministers held people in slavery and had out of wedlock children
just like everybody else - whether they were married or not.

the danger with relgion is that you can't assume that people change
their behavior because of something that they read in the bible.
they can just as often form, or extract from the bible,
interpretations which support what the things that they are already
doing.

i'm usually very cautious of "religious" people because they can
just as easily screw you over, and rationalize it by saying that
it was the "will of the lord" for them to screw you over.

as i understand the story, jax didn't find out that he was the
father until a dna test was done (which i presume was *after*
the baby was born). since, as i also understand the story, the
w**** in question was dating another guy at the time, i could
imagine that jax might have assumed that the w**** in question had
taken precautions against pregnancy (which guys tend to do in
general, btw). but when she became pregnant i can also see why jax
might have felt that it was necessary to determine whether he was
indeed the father of the child.

that doesn't sound like an intended pregnancy to me - at least not
from jax's perspective. it may have been intentional on h** part,
though. that's one of the chance that guys take in such cases,
especially when they're large.

the w**** in question is 39 with a 2 year old child. that means
that at the time that s** got pregnant s** was in h** mid-30's. at
that age (and even older) unexpected pregnancies do occur.

i think that you really need to learn to read posts more carefully
instead of letting your emotions get the better of you such that
you end up making illogical statements. if you think about it for
a while, calmly, i think that you will realize that to call my
statement an attempt to "defend" jesse jackson, makes no sense.
it makes no sense that jax, as high profile as he is, would
*intentionally* want to have a child with another w****. i mean,
the guy has 5 children already, what does he need with another
child? he already has grandchildren.

but since you've raised the issue i think that there is much to be
said for jackson's handling of this matter. with all the deadbeat
dads out there, jax appears to have owned up to his responsibilities,
paying child support, &c without haaving to be taken to court to get
the money extracted from him. given the situation, it appears that
he has handled it in an honorable fashion.

on any account, THINK before you post your next resposne, smr.

i won't repeat my statement about your need to think before posting.
however, if you had read the post to which i had responded (which i
had previously suggested that you do) you would realize that the
charge was made that jax was commiting fraud to pay child support
because his source of income was from non-profit organizations.
as it turns out, that *was* an ignorant statement, your emotions
may prevent you from admitting that, but for your information,
that's what it was. my pointing that out does not constitute any
kind of "deepend" (as you put it), at least not logically.

in one of your misinterpretations of a previous post of mine in this
thread you had interjected a question as to what i thought about
this thing. again, if you had read what i wrote in reply, and
thought about it, rather than posting the kind of emotion-driven
comment that you made above, you would realize that i didn't say
or imply that it was a "good act".

i read through the rest of your post and think that i'll just end
up repeating the themes above so i didn't respond to your remaining
comments here to avoid redundancy.

i think that you're jumping to conclusions here. if the relocation
payment were not within the guidelines of normal practice for the
organization, and sub rosa means were used to get the payment to
h**, then it would be fraud. do you have knowledge that operation
push *doesn't* pay for relocation of employees? i would think that
they would have such policies. to that extent, there is no need
for jax to pay that out of his pocket. even if the relocation was
a result of this pregnancy thing, people relocate for all kinds of
reasons, it's not an employer's business as to the personal reasons
why a person might want to relocate as long as the actual relocation
is within reasons deemed reimbursable.

i don't have any facts one way or the other as to whether or not
the relocation payment involved fraud. i certainly haven't heard
anything in the press suggesting this either. i've seen such
charges on this newsgroup; coming from people who probably know
nothing about what the deal is.

are you still surprised that i can call such declarations "ignorant"?

This turned out to be a real bitch to look up. The source seems
credible:

http://www.liberalopinion.com/about.htm#Jesse Jackson

"He graduated with a B.A. in sociology [from NC A&T State] (1963) and
attended the Chicago Theological Seminary for two and a half years
before joining Dr. King in 1965 in the voting rights march in
Selma, Ala. The school later conferred on him an honorary doctorate
degree.
"He was ordained a Baptist minister at the Fellowship Missionary
Baptist Church by Rev. Clay Evans, Rev. Ralph Abernathy and other
on June 30, 1968. He is an ordained minister in the National
Baptist convention, U.S.A., Inc."

I also found that he received his Master of Divinity from the
CTS last year. He had been three courses shy of the degree, but
was able to satisfy their requirements by referring to his
published writings. He also took an ethics exam. (This was
on two separate sites, including a U of C newsletter).

No, SMITH29 is an ignorant piece of shit, from what he's posted so far.
He's just loving Jackson being caught doing something wrong because it
somehow validates his stupid ignorant thinking.

DING DING DING DING. We have a winner... I couldn't quite tell if
SMITH29 was a racist for sure or just one inarticulate sonuvabitch, but
the fag comment gives it away.

Interestingly enough, the freudian slip spelling of but as "butt" gives
away almost as much as the "fag" crack.

Emotions? Dude, I'm very dispassionate about this episode. I just don't
care, really. I'm finding it enjoyable to watch both sides, zealots
abounding, get all panty-bunched about it, and am just enjoying tweaking
both to my heart's content here and trying to draw out some real
commentary at the same time.

Jesse is irrelevent to me, overall. I'm not part of the group he
advocates for, but nor do I see this as a zero-sum game where if his
group wins something, I somehow lose. I wish him luck, but don't really
care about his success or failure. I have causes other than his that are
much more dear to me and that his efforts don't impact either way.

Really? How should I take your instant attacks on thosOOP at dogged him,
your incorrect insta-assumption that the funds to pay for her did not
come from PUSH pockets (they did, at least in part), your insane attack
on Hyde based SOLELY on race... who's the emotional guy now?

I never said he intentionally wanted the kid. I'm quite sure he didn't.
However, he has spoken out voluminously, in the past, about the sad
state, overall, of black parenting (60% single parent rate, etc...).
That he couldn't be bothered to take the necessary precautions or keep
his trouser snake sheathed speaks to his hypocracy on the issue. He
literally pulled a "do what I say, not what I do" on that issue.

None of which I've debated, excepting the fact that he's used the funds
of a civil rights organization to pay for at least some of it, which I
find highly questionable in the extreme. Other than that, he's done
good. On the flipside, I'm sure that if a lot of deadbeat dads could use
their workplace's funds to pay for bastards, they would too.

No, the honorable thing to do would have been to not cheat on his wife.

No, the charge was not that his income came from a non-profit source, it
was that he used non-profit money (ie, not income, but money of the
organization itself as opposed to any fees he may have accrued from it)
to pay for some of his handling of this issue.

I have no emotions on the record. I've already publicly stated that I
feel that lifetime monogamy is a high and almost unholdable standard for
your average male. I've also stated that since Jackson has used the
pulpit/his stature as a relgio-social leader to preach about how bad it
is that his constituBILI has so many kids out of wedlock, that I think
he's a bit full of shit given what has recently been revealed.

Well, that was sort of my point. You got so quickly to the job of
defending him, that I found it suspect that you didn't (and haven't)
thought about what you're defending. It seems to be a case of "it's
JESSE JACKSON, I MUST defend him" instead of "waittaminute... what he
did here was pretty shitty... he cheated, again, on his wife of many
decades to the point of fathering a child out of wedlock... I can't
really defend that". You never got to that Ronald, you just went for the
kneejerk rally around the reverend instead.

THAT is why I called you out. I couldn't (and can't) understand why
you'd jump to his defense. I can see you being understanding about maybe
why he did it, maybe arguing that it was human nature or whatever, but
the undeniable fact here is that he did an incredibly ratshit thing to
his wife. You never spoke to that.

Me, I hate Jackson. No, that doesn't mean I hate blacks - it means I
don't like Jackson's methods, special rights for blacks rather than
equal rights for blacks among them.

That said - who hasn't got a skeleton in their closet? Is it really
worth smearing it all over the front pages and throwing it to the
front of public discourse, neutralizing the effectiveness of a public
figure?

He's not the pope. He doesn't claim to be perfect. This is
counterproductive in the same way that dragging Jefferson's or
Reagan's indiscretions about in public would have been. Sure would
have changed history...

You say you hate Jackson. (Although to give your heart more credit, you
probably mean you hate his agenda.) You think the world would be a better
place if what he seeks to do is never accomplished. So neutralizing his
effectiveness is beneficial to you. Is it the method that upsets you?
Would you be happier if he were neutralized in another manner? Or do you
object to his neutralization altogether?

Neutralizing his effectiveness with this method is just plain

Whether I would want Jackson neutralized completely is another
matter. I despise portions of his agenda, however he has attached
himself to civil rights as a whole.

If he could be simply removed as an extremist, I'd be for that.

But, putting aside the ethics of selectively putting the worst
segments of his life under a microscope: If he is removed by being
discredited and paraded about as a hippocrite, this is likely to set
back ALL agendas he has attached himself to.

Actually, according to the Reuters reports on Yahoo, it's $3,000 cash per
month. The initial $35,000 for "moving expenses" and "severance pay" was
paid directly by his PAC (Rainbow / PUSH). The $3,000 is paid by Jackson
(which, of course, means that it comes from his mid-six-figures salary as
head of Rainbow/PUSH).

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010119/us/jackson_child_17.html

[An earlier report claimed there was a $40,000 payment from PUSH/Rainbow;
it's not clear whether that was an error and is really the $35,000 figure,
or if it was an additional payoff not mentioned in this story.]

Keep in mind that $3,000 per month in cash is the take-home from about
a $58,000/year job after federal taxes are taken out of it. Take out
California's 10% state income tax and it's more like a $65,000/year job.
That puts her well into the top 25% of wage earners, IIRC.

I'm not near as racist as Jesse Jackson and you don't see me profiting
off the race card like he does.
But I am politically incorrect and I call a spade a SPADE and that's our

The last thing he wants is racial harmony. His pay check would go away.
Now he knows how to cultivate racial strife with great skill. He can

And in the MB numbering scheme, S class cars begin with S...
S430, S500, S600..... Hence the term, S-Class.
$70,800 , $78,950 , $114,000 MSRP respectfully.

Since MB has gone video game shifter, I'm not particularly
interested in their product. Anyway I would rather save up for
an Aston Martin....


BTW I doubt you could even afford the scrap of value of an
S class.

Just curious why he's a cheapskate. Thought maybe you had some inside
scoop on what the going rate being paid by republicans for their OOW
children was.

Somewhere around $25,000/mo. and a kicker tied to the market
yield/quarter.

Any turds around your unit? I put skirts around ours so they can't get
under it.
You never did hide your propane bottle like I told you to.
