Jesse Jackson to Visit Hospice and Meet with Schindlers

On Tuesday morning, March 29, The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., founder and president of the RainbowPUSH Coalition, plans to visit the Woodside Hospice, where Terri lives, located at 6774 102nd Avenue N. (near 66th Street N and 102nd Avenue N) in Pinellas Park, Florida.

Rev. Jackson is responding to an invitation from the Schindler family to come and pray with the family, and if possible visit Terri Schiavo in the hospice.

After meeting and praying with the Schindler family, Rev. Jackson will make a statement to the press.

Frequently, I have pointed out that Jesse Jackson is very selective with his outrage and gets involved with causes that push a liberal agenda, ignoring other instances of injustice.

I've charged him with self-promotion when he cites grievances, making statements to the media, injecting himself into whatever the case of supposed discrimination or wrongdoing may be for purely personal advancement.

It would follow that I would again complain about another high profile visit by Jackson, in this case to Woodside Hospice.

I won't. Is that because he’s acting in accordance with my beliefs regarding Terri’s situation? No. It’s because this time Jackson is not blindly shilling for the Democrats.

I admire him for honoring the Schindlers' request to visit, particularly because Terri's right to life runs counter to the Democrats' pro-death platform.

It appears that Jackson sees the court-sanctioned crime that is occurring and is not hesitating to speak out against this travesty, even at the risk of alienating his political allies.

I greatly respect him for that.
