They Warned Us…
By Mitch Berg
…that if we voted for John McCain or Tom Emmer that gays would be the victims of discrimination…
…and they were right!
A spokesman for the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Thursday denied a claim from a man who says he was fired from the civil rights leader’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition because he is gay.
Tommy R. Bennett filed a complaint with the city of Chicago’s Commission on Human Relations last year, alleging Jackson fired him unjustly and that the civil rights leader forced him to perform “uncomfortable” tasks, including escorting various women to hotel rooms to meet Jackson for sex.
I have seen this on the ‘entertainment” section of some websites…

And of course there is Kobe Bryant’s “homophobic outburst” for which he was fined the equivalent of 2 days pay. Athletes behaving like 12 year olds. Who’d have thunk?

This is absolutely hilarious, but of course, the left nut apologists and media won’t cover this issue, because the fraudulent Reverend is one of them. More double standards from the libturds.

Having this news in the entertainment section might not be a bad thing — there’s a chance it might actually reach an audience that ought to know such things. Maybe they can add a reaction quote from Snooki.

My daughter went to Chicago on a mission trip with the very liberal ELCA church I have since resigned from. As part of their cultural awareness the went to a black Baptist church service. The pastor’s sermon was about how homosexuality is an abomination before God. I would have paid good money to watch the reaction of the ultra-lefty, lily white group.

There are also reports that the “Rev.” Jackson asked the complainant for a sex act. I guess he named it the “Rainbow” coalition for a reason!

“Bennett also claims he was forced to escort women for Jackson into hotel rooms — and later clean up the rooms.”
Seems to me being compelled to clean up after the POS Jackson would be worthy of a lawsuit in and of itself.
“Thomas V. Leverso, said his client, for a time, “actually enjoyed the work in terms of his actual job duties”
I don’t know what could be said about that?????

Wait, I thought only white male conservative Christians behaved like this. That is what all the TV drama/dective shows show me (via the villians).

Jesse has spent quite a bit of time in Wisconsin over the past month. He spoke and anti-Walker rallies at Madison East High School. He also hit churches in Milwaukee to make political speaches.

Anyone who expects an ounce of integrity from Jesse Jackson probably believes Harry Potter movies are documentaries.

Chuck, how much did Madison East High School get paid from those rallies?

He’s got a perdy mouth!
