Anyone remember when Jesse Jackson went to Budweiser and told them they need more minority owned Distributors.?
His son got a Budweiser distributorship from that.
Makes you kind of wonder which relative of which of these legislators wants a free Car Dealership.
Jesse Jackson in Action
Since the Rev. Jesse Jackson disclosed having had a child out of wedlock, there have been many questions raised about how this child and her mother are being supported financially. Where is the money coming from? Who paid the $40,000 to relocate mother and daughter from Chicago to Los Angeles, for example?
A host of people are wanting to know. The Wall Street Journal has made a point of it. So have some other newspapers. But the biggest crusade has come from Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News network. His highly rated "O'Reilly Factor" program just pounds away on the issue night after night after night. He wants an investigation. Well, Bill O'Reilly, consider this:
Years ago I was in Chicago and a nowretired executive of Quaker Oats told me of the time that Jesse Jackson threatened his company with a boycott because, he claimed, Aunt Jemima was a racist symbol. My friend, the executive, was called in by his board to negotiate with Jackson. They went around and around and back and forth, with Jackson raising the stakes all along the line.
Finally, my friend smelled a rat. He began to suggest that sizeable contributions to Jackson's Rainbow Coalition could be arranged from the Quaker Oats treasury. Suddenly Jackson's attitude changed. He was now open to reason. When they at last arrived at a price, why Jackson-who only days earlier had denounced Aunt Jemima as a racist symbol-held another press conference and said that upon reflection he had come to the conclusion that Aunt Jemima was really a cultural symbol and there would be no boycott of Quaker Oats.
In short, he was paid off. Some might call it extortion.
I am told by business executives with whom I have shared that story that he has pulled the same trick over and over and over again and that businesses all over the East Coast have rolled over and filled his treasury.
So, Bill O'Reilly, it may not be taxexempt money that is paying for the lady and the child. It may be extortion money.
That right there is funny!
