#1 As I recall, a while back didn't 'ol Jessie Jackson take a very aggressively supportive stand on behalf of Pres. Charles Taylor, even going to the point of requesting that the US gov't provide serious foreign aid $$ and military assistance (arms, ammo). And Dr. Jackson did this knowing that Pres. Taylor was an escaped felon (from US jail).

So, the big question is: Where is the press on this issue? Haven't heard word one so far. Hmmmm.

#5 Curiously enough, both Rev. Jackson and Pat Robertson are fans of Chuck's. Robertson's got considerable $$ invested in Liberian gold, and sez Chuck's a good, Christian guy.

#6 Now Robertson is praying for the health of three SC justices to deteriorate to the point of their having to leave the bench. The guy's a jerk. Check out his Korean war service record and you'll see he's a snake. Now Liberia? Jesse and Pat are cut from the same cloth. Never thought I'd see it.

#7 Since Michael didn't post the link to Robertson's Korean service record, I will.
