It didn’t take long for Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson’s true sympathies to show. In Bethlehem today, he called on President Bush to “end Israeli occupation” and build a Palestinian state, and expressed his enthusiastic support for Yasser Arafat. Here’s a quote from the shakedown artist himself:

“President Bush must use the power of the United States…to enforce the U.S. policy and U.N. policy to seek reconciliation, to try and build statehood, to invest in reconstruction, to end occupation,” Jackson said in a speech.

And in a new low for someone I didn’t think could sink any further, he announced plans to meet with one of the filthiest murdering swine on the planet—Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who is directly responsible for scores of terrorist attacks. Disgusting.
