I find it interesting that Jimmy Swaggart, and others, were held to a different standard than what is being said about the very Reverend Jackson.
It's kind of like having a man of Ted Kennedy's moral standard question Ashcroft's.
I certainly thought Swaggart to be a hypocrite, most people did. Yet, with Jesse, I'm hearing a different tune playing, one of forgiveness.
What do you think? |

I understand that employees of PUSH-Rainbow are concerned as to how much money was given to the child's mother, and where the money came from. Does this bother anyone? |

The good reverend should have practiced what he was preaching when he lead that chant during the Democratic National Convention. |

Is this coming out now, so it can hide behind the Maplewood tax story? |

My guess is that our republican friends and democrats alike have known of Jesse's daughter for quite some time, but the timing of the story seems oddly co-incident to correspond with Ashcroft's hearings.
Any thoughts on the synchronicity? |

Yes, the timing of the story, first reported by "The National Inquirer," was purposely ment to coincide with the Ashcroft Hearings. It is a well known fact that "The National Inquirer" took steps to plan the story's release, in order to focus on the Abortion issue. |

There's one reason Jackson is being treated differently than Swaggart: numbness. We've become so desensitized to sexual immorality over that past fifteen years or so since Swaggart that nobody in power dares to condemn. |

When I first saw the headline, "Jackson seeks forgiveness, Admits he fathered child with aide," I panicked.
"Oh dear Lord, no," I prayed, not again! Michael Jackson has fathered yet another child without police intervention?
Then I realized it was Jesse Jackson, spiritual leader, they were talking about, and not, God forbid, the King of Pop. Better a man (any man!) in a clerical collar begetting kids than one disguised as a kabuki performer in a fedora and eyeliner.
Of course Jesse Jackson is sorry. He got caught. What I would like to know is, where does he get his money? A $40,000 settlement and $10,000 a month? Where does that come from? He doesn't seem to do anything. What a waste. |

He is a public figure and his morals should be questioned because he is a reverand. I could care less who he sleeps with but if I were a contributor to his cause, I would certainly like to know where the $40K and $10K per month support comes from. |

Weekends,
Where are you going with the comment? Diana Ross? |

The Supremes, no doubt. I have a feeling this thread would have been much more interesting if it happened to Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson! |
