>>>>>Years ago I was meeting a guy who reported to me for breakfast at a hotel near O'Hare. He had flown in from Denver late the night before. I was a few minutes late so just walked in and started looking for John. And walked right past a booth where Jesse Jackson and some others were sitting. (It turned out Operation PUSH was having its annual convention at the hotel). I have no doubt some of the guys there were security. I have little doubt, either, that if I had been so inclined I could have gotten a shot off before they could stop me. I was dressed like an ordinary businessman at the time -- suit, raincoat, briefcase. (No, Dragan, I wasn't wearing the briefcase, LOL). Gun inside the coat, whip it out, blam. People like him have to live with that possibility every day unless they want to be recluses, which they really can't.

>I think it's called "dark humor" or something like that, no pun intended. It's really more of a desire to make that evil thing in the picture go away. You know, like when you see Frankenstein, Freddie Kruger, Satan, etc in a fight and you want them to die, except we don't really want Jessie Jackson to die, we just want him to go away!
Jesse is not popular in his home town, among blacks and whites alike. He goes running for every camera and microphone. That is not the midwestern style.
There is a funny moment in Spike Lee's sensational documentary about Hurricane Katrina. Spike and his film crew are in New Orleans when they see Jesse Jackson nearby, being interviewed. "He must have heard the camera click on," someone says (Spike, I think).
