Je$$e Jack$on Jr. Wants “His Name” Back
December 13th, 2008 at 11:02 pm by BrianI think he wanted to say his “good name” back but who are we kidding here? In response to him being bandied about the Blagojevichian imbroglio, he un-Jacksonianly makes his case without rhyming:
U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said Friday that he was fighting to get “my name back” after he was identified as “Senate Candidate 5″ in a criminal complaint against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
…
“While I would be honored to serve the people of this state, it is clear to me that I am no capacity to serve them if there is a cloud over my head that seems to suggest that I am involved in some unscrupulous scheme to be a United States senator or anything else,” Jackson told CNN’s Don Lemon.
It’s almost as if the idea of being born the son of the country’s most pre-eminent race huckster never occurred to him. The cloud that forever hangs over his head gave him his name.
A man who has made a killing off of unscrupulously scheming shakedowns of corporations with threats of racial protests if they don’t make donations to his relatives or “non-profits”, was forever a minister without a church (or theology degree), who lied about holding Martin Luther King in his arms when he was shot, who plays towel boy to every murderous dictator in the third world, who famously referred to New York as “hymietown“, who tried to lynch the Duke Lacrosse team when falsely accused of rape (and never apologized), and gave little Je$$e Jr. a step-sister when he screwed the office secretary for Rainbow/PUSH and then tried to buy her silence with funds from the organization before he got caught.
This is just what we know about.
So some say he’s naive but let’s be honest here – the person you need to take “your name” back from is the person who had it first and cursed you with it.

Jr, is just crying out because he know’s he is busted. He was brought up countless times as number 5. And now he’s going to whine because he got caught. It is sickening, make them have a special election, and watch he won’t get any votes. He is just playing the game. He’s just as guilty as the rest of them and trhing to use his fathers name to get out of it.

This is both sad and painful to say, but Jr. is my congressman.
Needless to say, I do not have a voice in Congress.

JJ jr.’s whine ain’t so DY-NO-MITE. Here’s an idea- he could send me that million dollars and in return I’ll send him a signed ornately framed certificate giving him his name back. Small price to pay IMO.

I’m sorry to hear that PR. How does one cope with the situation there when you know the local machine is going to install the most crooked timber it can find?

Excuse my but NO ONE TOOK HIS NAME…….Has he not heard of DEATH BY ASSOCIATION……It is not his fault he was birn into his legacy of a BIG MOUTH RACIST father…One who always seems to look for himself. Ihaooen to like Jesse Jr. As hard as he tried to not be HIS FATHER….The rest of his family DRAGS HIM BACK IN……Perhaps Jesse Jr needs to mve away and change his name if he really wants a fair shake….I always hoped he was not like his father, but with all this going on now, it seems hard too. Jesse Jr is a good person he will never be in the same league as Obama….Obama is a self made man while Jesse Jr has riden is fathers coattails….Jesse Jr should have years ago really distanced himself from his father…..His father has NEVER brought anything good to anyone…Just Look at Jesse Jr now. He will forever be looked at as someone who perhaps tried to buy a Senate seat…Even tho it wasn’t him, it was his peeps…..One gets what they deserve in life Jesse Jr…..You play the game you get burnt….even if the gane was ran by someone else, it was STILL ON YOUR BEHALF…..Reep what your family has sowed……..Your saqd reality is that you will not get a enate seat nor will you ever be able to go much further in politics due to your family’s sticking thier nose in where it didn’t belong….YOUR LIFE…..and YOUR CAREER

What name? The name of a lying, wife-abusing, cheating, narcisist who wasted three decades dismantling the hard work of civil rights leaders by padding his own pockets?
What “church” does the reverend preach at? None. They are all phoneys and Obama, who I did not vote for, left their crying assess behind. Boo Hoo, your daddy got caught and now you.

I drink. Heavily.
They (the Donks) have gerrymandered this district so effectively that all you have to be is black and have a D to get elected. JJ has done nothing except pick up his graft envelopes.
Oh, and be bestest friends with Blago and Obama, two fellow grifters.
