Class act!

No class versus all class, and do note this has nothing to do with one’s position on the Democrat’s health care proposal.

The Hill reports that Jessie Jackson, arbiter of Blackness said, “We even have blacks voting against the health care bill,” at the Congressional Black Caucus reception honoring the 25th anniversary of his run for president.

“You can’t vote against health care and call yourself a black man,” the Hill reported him saying.

The remark was a clear shot at Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against the House version of the health care legislation.

Davis replied in a written statement to the newspaper.

One of the reasons that I like and admire Rev. Jesse Jackson is that 21 years ago he inspired the idea that a black politician would not be judged simply as a black leader. The best way to honor Rev. Jackson’s legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race.”

Class!

And get the understated reproach at Jackson’s sellout.

Jackson later reportedly said that he “didn’t call anybody by name and I won’t.”

Chickenshit.

What is so sad about Jessie Jackson is, unlike Al Sharpton, Jackson actualy had some integrity once. As late as 15 or so years ago he’d have flashes of truthfulness – which he’d then back down from or his spinmeiters would well, spin.

Now he’s a shakedown artist who solicits protection money in the form of contributions to his foundation or lucrative dealerships for his kids, in return for insuring that discrimination complaints against corporations go away – or come up if they refuse to play ball.

Coward. Sad. He doesn’t even have the guts to be a run-of-the-mill leg-breaker extortionist.

But this Artur Davis guy – he’s got my attention and I’m going to look into him.
