Congressional Black Caucus's Ties to Aristide Questioned
By Susan Jones
CNSNews.com Morning Editor
March 04, 2004

(CNSNews.com) - A conservative black pastor says the White House and the State Department should investigate the Congressional Black Caucus's relationship with exiled Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

What do Congressional Black Caucus members have to gain by keeping Aristide in power? asked the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. Do CBC members, their family, or friends have business interests in Haiti, he wondered.

"These questions must be answered. We need to get to the truth about what has been going on," said Peterson, who heads a group called Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny. (Peterson, who supports various conservative causes, is out with a new book called SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America.)

Peterson said he finds it "disturbing" that the Congressional Black Caucus is backing "a corrupt and brutal man like Aristide."

3. Jesse Lee Peterson is a disgusting Bushevik Toad
Edited on Thu Mar-04-04 03:42 PM by tom_paine
The worst kind of sellout, funded by Hannity and the rest of the VRWC. He is a pathetic puppet who mealy-mouths Hannity platitudes and must be getting paid a lot of money and have no conscience at all.

How do I know this? I watched the odious putrescent swine on CSPAN. I also heard him ALMOST give away his Lily-White Bushevik sources of funding.

He bit his tongue and, naturally, was not pressed on it.

He is funded by "some friends".

Yeah, and exactly WHO IS funding you, Jesse Lee?

This man is an odious worm.

However he IS useful when the Busheviks desire a Black face to criticize Black people.

One wonders, does Peterson accept his Hannity money in pieces of silver?

12. His site is shut down (maybe Hannity stopped payments)
Though this shoudl re-prime the Bushevik Pay Korps to let the "Reverend" back on-board.

I wanted to direct you to his home site www.bond.org, in the interests of fairness, but it's down, so here's some other various sources:

4. Ahh, yes - attack the messenger.
When all else fails, attack the messenger, even if what the messenger says is true.

OK, reason 999,999,999,991 to hate bush and be angry.

God, don't they EVER stop?!

Can't wait till we kick his sorry ass out of OUR White House!

It is "disturbing" that Republican shills aren't backing Democracy.

11. I don't believe anything from there when it is from their own
"wire service". Not saying that they can't report on a real story - but I just look for a different source first.

Heck in salin's wire service... I could find someone to quote and write:

Serious questions have been raised, says {salin'sbestbud} Mary Joe Mouse, "Dick Cheney's connections to Phillip Guy, a known murderer who has taken over the country, might have a pattern of corruption linked to the money laundering suspected to have been conducted by Haliburton when Cheney was CEO. These questions must be answered!"

hehe - that is how I view sources like cns.. and its even more wacky news cousin WorldNetDaily.

10. oh yeah,right...
"Peterson said he finds it "disturbing" that the Congressional Black Caucus is backing "a corrupt and brutal man like Aristide.""

Of course! Becuase former members of the military death squads guilty of crimes against humanity that replaced Aristide are so much better.

:wtf: :puke:

You got to wonder how peopel liek this can sell out everything they supposedly beleive in so quickly and without an ounce of shame.

15. It's called MONEY!
And different people have different weaknesses.

It is also called ego. My guess is Jesse doesn;t really hate Jesse Jackson.

He just wants to replace him as a Black Leader.

But where would Jesse Peterson lead except to Sean Hannity's right hand?

Unless you believe Sean Hannity to be a friend of African-Americans, tne it is impossible to believe that the puppet he finances is the same.

But that is just my opinion.

13. This from someone who thinks "most black people are wicked"
http://www.onepeoplesproject.com/peterson.html

In January of 2001, Peterson was making one of his numerous appearances on Sean Hannity's radio show to promote a demonstration in Los Angeles against Peterson's favorite target Jesse Jackson. On the program he decided to make the declaration that "Most black people are wicked," a over-generalizing remark that Hannity tried to get him to temper, but Peterson insisted.

16. Spoken like a Nazi
Most Jews are wicked, too, eh, Jesse?

Only White Busheviks and Jesse P. aren't wicked...right?

17. Have you stopped beating your wife?
'Why does the CBC back Aristide? Do they have business interests? These questions have to be answered.' What a crock!

No assertion of wrongdoing, just an inuendo and a demand that it be answered.
