I'm noticing media bias in the coverage of Jesse Jackson Jr.
Long story short, he used $750,000 of campaign money to fund his living and luxury expenses.

The New York Times Headline: Jesse Jackson JR pleads guilty.

The media is reporting this story without tying his corruption to the Democratic party. It's as if his actions aren't reflective of his party.

Republicans aren't afforded this luxury when they misstep.

When Todd Akin made his comments about legitimate rape, the media tied his remarks to the entire Republican party and their candidates.

Every time a Republican candidate made a misstep in the 2012 election, the media linked their misstep with the entire Republican party. Why don't they do the same with Jesse Jackson JR's corruption?

I can imagine the headlines if Jesse Jackson JR were a Republican..

If I were his CM or consultant, I would be nothing short of livid. It's amazing what a campaign can do with $750,000 extra dollars in the pot. Trust me, not all Dems are willing to let him skate. Unfortunately the ones I have in mind are grassroots campaign operatives, not the media types who would need to give him a good grilling.

The word of God says it all:

Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Eph 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

LOL STILL!;)


start with this guy....oh....too late.



Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 – June 12, 1972) was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. He is often noted for his book Rules for Radicals.



BUT...not too late for these two:



William Charles "Bill" Ayers (born December 26, 1944)[1] is an American elementary education theorist and a former leader in the movement that opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He is known for his 1960s radical activism as well as his current work in education reform, curriculum, and instruction. In 1969 he co-founded the Weather Underground, a self-described communist revolutionary group[2] that conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings (including police stations, the U.S. Capitol Building, and the Pentagon) during the 1960s and 1970s in response to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

He is a retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar.[3] During the 2008 US presidential campaign, a controversy arose over his contacts with then-candidate Barack Obama. He is married to Bernardine Dohrn, who was also a leader in the Weather organization.

"Our signature was...letters of explanation....
Each letter had a logo hand-drawn
across the page...." — BILL AYERS[1]

The Weather Underground Organization (WUO), commonly known as the Weather Underground, was an American radical left organization founded on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan. Originally called Weatherman, the group became known colloquially as the Weathermen. Weatherman first organized in 1969 as a faction of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)[2] composed for the most part of the national office leadership of SDS and their supporters. Their goal was to create a clandestine revolutionary party for the overthrow of the US government.[3]
