This hypocritical racist and all-around media hound has now clearly demonstrated what many thought was his real worth to the debate on issues of public import: absolutely nothing.
As a major leader of the effort to impugn the integrity and record of President-elect Bush during the campaign, Jackson – in his best Ebonics dialect – cautioned America to "Stay out da Bushes!" during his diatribe at the Democratic National Convention last summer in Los Angeles.
It seems as if Jackson should have taken his own advice. Instead, he has been paying the unbelievable sum of $10,000 per month to the child's mother, a former staffer at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, ostensibly as "child support".
Certainly sounds a lot more like hush money, another favorite tactic of the Clinton crowd. The woman was also reportedly paid $40,000 to move to California and is supposedly living in a $365,000 condo!
(Recall the million dollars' worth of no-show jobs provided to Clinton crony Webb Hubbell –
Well, not only did the hush money not keep things quiet here, but it also raises questions anew about Jackson's suspicious finances, all of which involve tax-exempt charitable entities. Yet Jackson has continually refused to reveal anything about his sources of income despite the fact that U.S. taxpayers have had to in effect subsidize these funds by foregoing the proportionate amount in tax receipts that would otherwise have been paid.
What an amazing – though not entirely surprising – turn of events for the ol' Rev. during Martin Luther King Jr. holiday week.
Here we have the same opportunistic "aide" to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. allegedly smearing blood, other than that of the slain civil rights leader, on his own shirt and then rushing to appear on national television claiming it as Dr. King's on the night of the assassination in April 1968.
Such obvious hypocrisy has long been associated with Jackson and his leftist supporters in the mainstream media.
It is also ironic that while Jackson is leading the racist smear by Democrats against U.S. attorney general nominee John Ashcroft, it was Jackson himself had who once uttered his infamous anti-Semitic "hymie-town" slur and was given a virtual pass by the media.
Suffice it to say that the rhymin' slime spewed regularly by Jackson wherever a television camera can be found
But, of course, that's an awfully big might.
