"<br />I have to take AL at his word. If anyone is a expert at framing things in a dishonest manner, its him/her. Jesse Jackson is in the business of Jesse Jackson. 40 some years ago he rubbed some blood on his shirt and was off to the races. (so to speak) the persons comparing slavery to walker is not just doing her side no favors, but by not focusing on actual racism, but rather something like this, just feeds the idea that racism no longer exists. Which it does.

You got out of your way to find little, unusual, single examples and then portray them as representative of the whole affair. They are not and this practice is dishonest. <br /><br />What I experienced was a lot of good-natured and good-humored people who came out together to exercise their rights to prtoest the actions of their government. <br /><br />These were/are regular folks, regular people that you falsely portray as part of your contribution to the right wing smear machine. <br /><br />I actually came to this site after reading Dahlia Lithwick's piece on the new Republican requirement that women getting abortions be vaginally probed (raped) in a medically useless procedure. THought you might actually have something interesting to say about that -- if you could break ranks with the wingnuts. Fuck it. I don't give a shit what you have to say. You're a bad and dishonest person. <br /><br />http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2012/02/virginia_ultrasound_law_women_who_want_an_abortion_will_be_forcibly_penetrated_for_no_medical_reason.2.htmlAlphaLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711124490821422066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-32228973628739624622012-02-18T22:47:01.199-06:002012-02-18T22:47:01.199-06:00"I also want accountability,"

The bride and groom were a very tony black couple. The irony was that, since Jesse was not a licensed religious official in California, the actual ceremony was performed by an anonymous minister in a guest room before Jesse had his public moment of glory. As an aside, I was a little surprised at how tall Jackson is.
