Jesse Jackass illiterate???
 

Even more proof that is guy is a Complete Idiot :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

That guy needs to quit worrying about everyone else and take care of his own "affairs".

That's what is wrong with society. People only care about themselves.

It takes a strong person (white, black, yellow... I dont want to be tagged a racist) to stand up against Govt and ask questions.

but how can you call a president ignorant when you yourself can't even speak english?...motherfucker can't even diss correctly lol

jackson's a putz, and that is obvious

Any 1 know were Jesse Jackson gets his money?
Some might be a bit surprised.
Jesse Jackson is a big time racist.

You being a soldier, how many tax dollars and guns would it take to free some American soldiers held in Bosnia?

How is it that an illiterate "putz" like Jesse free soldiers without guns and bombs?

I could have sworn you had me on ignore.

I said "mind his own business", not "only care about himself". Do you seriously think he is fighting for your best interests? He tries to represent the black community, if he's proper representation (which I know he isn't), then the black community must be full of flaming idiots.

Give me a minute and I'll think of a white guy we could compare him to... oh, Bill Mahr (sp?) for one, and Rush Limbaugh for another. Thank God they don't claim to represent a "group" of people...

pull ma fanga

Where? enlighten me

look at the link swordfish gave you and buy the book... jesse jackson probably recieves money from those countries :1orglaugh

If your president called Jackson "unlitterate" and said he was "part of a left-wing conspiracy " , thats all you'd be hearing about in the media. This would be proof that Bush was a moron and a paranoid nut.Since it was the other way around , you'll hear little of it .

:2 cents:

It doesn't take a strong person to stand up against the govt.. it's done all the time. It's just that he got noticed for doing it with the 'unliterate' word.. of all things to call someone illiterate, and use a non-word like 'unliterate' to do so..

Not to mention his fall from grace because of his hypocracy.. Counciling Clinton on morality, while he knocked up some chick... gotta love the irony....

"Illiterate" is the negative of "Literate". So, technically, it can be used in any case where you mean "not literate"...

However, "Literate" has a few possible connotations. The most common is very literal-- "can read"-- but there are others. Being competent with language, being well-read, etc. So, by extension, not being "Literate" (being Illiterate, Unliterate, Non-Literate, whatever) can mean a lot of different things.

My guess is that Jackson wanted to say that President Bush is not a very intelligent or well-read man. (This is petty much true.) Had he said "Bush is illiterate" he would have been saying he couldn't read, as that is the commonest definition of the word-- and also untrue. Thus, to avoid appearing to be saying something outright false, he used an alternate-- and viable-- construction. Just because "Illiterate" is a word doesn't mean "Unliterate" can't be.

So, I guess what I am saying is this... Besides calling a spade a spade, what did Jackson do wrong here?

Well said. Jackson made the "unliterate" comment in regards to Bush' equation of the recent school voucher ruling with the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education. Jackson's point is that any "literate" reading of both decisions would not lead someone to equate the two.

may i poot on you?

No one is saying it can't be a word -- it's just not a word now.
