This is why being called a racist has no meaning any more. Jessie Jackson has used the threat of racism for years and accumulated millions for his organization. He is not opposed to threatening a Black Congressman from Alabama for voting No.

"The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature health care bill.

“We even have blacks voting against the health care bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against health care and call yourself a black man.”

What was the threat? Seems like he expressed an opinion; but who did he threaten?

Jesse Jackson is not for the improvement of the lives of black people. Jesse Jackson is for the enrichment of Jesse Jackson. He hasn'tbeen in the spotlight for a while... so he needssome headlines.

Mr. Davis is beginning to pique my interest.

I wonder if Jackson considers conservatives Clarence Thomas and Michael Steele, Republican Chairman "black men"?????

...or Thomas Sowell. Is Dr. Condoleezza Rice a black woman?

By the way, I would vote for Dr. Rice for president.

This can be viewed as "you are either with us or you are against us", so much for the "RAINBOW Coalition", I guess it is truly only shades of gray.

The fact that Jessie is a race hustler is well known but anyone who is interested in the magnitude of his racket should pick up a copy of K. R. Timmerman's book "Shakedown". You just won't believe it.

If MLK was alive, he would knock Jessie Jackson in the head.
