2003-11-08 | |||||
Security has been stepped up around former Liberian leader Charles Taylor's home in Nigeria, after the United States slapped a $US2 million bounty on his head. A former Liberian official who followed Mr Taylor into exile says Nigeria has promised to defend the former warlord.

#11 Jesse was also quoted as saying during his stint in the food industry he used to spit in the food of the "whiteys" he was serving. This guy has the same moral equivalency as Byrd does in my book. |

#10 There will always be low level shakedown artists. My problem with Jesse is that he has warped MLK's message into a hunt for a personal gravy train. I also didn't like that Clinton annointed him as our representative to Africa. Jesse is the guy that convinced Clinto to support Charles Taylor. I am sure that he is a supporter of Bob M also. Unleashing this asswipe on the continent of Africa is unexcusable. He would have trouble doing too much damage to the US of A, but his race baiting is something that Africa needs not. |

#9 Myth Making 101: "Hey, bro, I got a press conference in 10 minutes, can you rub a a little of that blood on my shirt for me? Cool, thanks." |

#8 Also, I forgot to mention, he pulled one over on NASCAR to. Yes, I have a little hatred for this douche bag. |

#7 NMM, too many corporations too mention - don't forget about the Toyota shakedown - my personal favorite next to Burger King's in NYC. Man of the cloth? Only if its a g-string....... |

#6 JJ is a big-time political opportunist, and I thought he also successfully shook down Coca-Cola and Denny's? The idea of a "Reverend" screwing around registering on the meter, well after Swaggart, Barker, et al. call me jaded on that front |

#5 Steve W., sounded like a thing of beauty. I'm an independent, my dad (who is fairly lib) hates JJ w/a passion. JJ does a dis-service to poor blacks in this country. Shake down artist & race baiter - nothing more. "the Absolute spotlight junkie." Wiped MLK jr.'s blood on himself and paraded around like a crusader......total charlatan. I don't think it's even a matter of con vs. lib when it comes to JJ. I think its a matter of those of us who are anti-hypocrasy vs. the morons. |

#4 Jarhead, I'm about the most conservative person in my group at work. Right after it became known that the good Reverend JJ had fathered a child, we were talking about the 2000 election in the office, and I wondered aloud whether Jesse Jackson would still refer to the election as "illegitimate." The silence that followed, and then the stifled giggling, was just wonderful. :-) |

#3 SH, LOL! Bitch-ass Jesse Jack-off will never appear on the factor, one, because he's too busy shaken' down krispy kreme or dunkin' donuts & two, because Billy O' would eat him alive. A Reverend w/an illegit kid........bwhahahaha |

#2 It wouild be interesting to hear what Jesse Jackson's take is on a $2M bounty being placed on the capture of his buddy. I'm sure he'll be asked next time he shows up on the O'Reilly Factor. |

#1 Dilemma time: What happens if Kony and the entire Lords Resistance Army shows up and captures Chuck? It's Nigeria! Tell them that upon receipt of Chuck's head, their account numbers, and personal financial info, that we will make a deposit in their account as a matter of good faith. This is a very secret (ssshhhhh!) deal based upon the fortune left to us by the very honourable Sani Abacha, president, which we are unable to secure without their assistance....... |
