    I do think Dan Gilbert's comments were out of line, and unprofessional. But he sounded more like a jilted lover than anything else. I never perceived it as racist.

    jesse jackson is master at getting rich off of racism.

    if you don't donate to his cause, he will try to bring you down.

    like legal extortion

    That's exactly right - it's what the whole Democratic party has morphed into - calling themselves "liberal".

    There's another word for it.

    I just can't think of what it is. But it invariably involves the use of government power to bring others down.

    Which side of the fence?
    If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

    If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
    If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.


    If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
    If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.


    If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
    If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.


    If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
    A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.


    If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
    Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.


    If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
    A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.


    If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
    A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.


    If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
    A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".


    Well, I forwarded it.

    Jessie Jackson is a dumbass!

    Funny but true story:

    When the University of Alabama passed over Sylvester Croom and hired Mike Shula as head coach-----Jesse came to town. The black folks even wanted him to shut up.

    It's almost like rabid apostates, if you point out racism when it probably doesn't exist NO ONE takes you seriously when there is an actual case of racism.

    Jesse may have been with Dr. King back in the day, but his political ambitions drive him more than his love of humanity.

    Freydo, that is absolutely absurd. Why don't you address the differences/issues with meaningful discussion and reality?

    For the past few years, Tim Conway Jr does a segment Thursday evenings on his radio show called "What the Hell Did Jesse Jackson say?" (He had to drop the 'Hell' word when he switched stations)

    It's pretty funny! http://www.kfiam640.com/common/podcast/single_page.html?podcast=TimConwayJr (Scroll down to find the segments)

    -Aude.

    Trying to discuss reality with a new age liberal is like trying to discuss reality with atheists, trinitarians, muslims and jw's.

    Again, this is nothing. Schoolyard stuff.

    The other side of the coin, freydo:

    Which side of the fence?

    If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

    If a Democrat suggests tougher guns laws and registering guns,

    a Republican screams that Democrats are taking his guns away

    If a Republican is told by his doctor to cut down on red meat, he blames Democrats for taking away his “freedom”

    If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he probably will live longer than Republicans

    If a Republican is homosexual, he becomes an evangelical pastor and rails against the evils of “the gay” until he is caught in an airport bathroom or a gay bar, or a gay massage parlor

    If a Democrat is homosexual he expects equal rights under the law

    If a Republican is down and out, he joins a militia and doubles down on blacks and immigrants

    A Democrat votes for fair wages and unions

    If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he shoots his TV set with a gun

    A Democrat requests the original, undoctored video tapes

    If a Republican is a non-believer, he keeps quiet and allows the Texas State Board of Education to re-write history textbooks to falsely favor Christianity,

    A Democrat wants history portrayed honestly and accurately and church and state kept separate as the FF favored

    If a Republican decides he needs health care, he doesn’t want anyone else to have it including the poor, the young, the elderly and the sick

    A Democrat believes that the greatest, richest country on earth has room for the young, the poor, the elderly and the sick

    If a Republican reads this he will forward it to his friends, his family, people he barely knows, people who don’t want it and people who have repeatedly corrected his bullshit and asked to be taken off his e-mail list,

    A Democrat will shake his head in wonder at the stupidity of his fellow citizens.
