He's loud, simple, and can rhyme his inane thoughts. Although he has had the rare moment, generally he represents nobody but Jesse.

He has a good loud orator's voice, but lacks a gifted orator's vocabulary. He trys to throw in a few big words in his speeches here and there, but he just doesnt come across very moving to me and never has.

Can be brilliant. His eulogy for Jackie Robinson is one of the most moving things I've heard, but he can get shrill in a hurry, losing him a lot of points.

This fool is not even a smart black man. He is a racist opportunist, nothing more. People do not really change a lot...he has not really traveled far in his mind from his days connected to the "black Panthers". I consider anyone who supports this guys agenda a racist.

His 1984 convention speech was probably the best convention speech in recent decades.

A lousy speaker. Wants so badly to be the Martin Luthor King of his day. Lacks any real passion in his speaking and always has a divisive message.

Rev. Jackson is a racist and an extortionist. Here is just one example: http://skeptictank.org/gen4/gen02379.htm

I used to listen to his PUSH speeches every Saturday in Chicago. He spoke in a loud voice and his words were simple. He held the audiences attention, by his insistence on them getting a share of the American pie. His delivery was good. But his message was often too one-sided to make him a great orator. Net

his rhymes are more suited to rap than oratory.

I don't understand the hostility toward the Rev. Jesse Jackson. He hasa always been a solid, consistent leader for the black community. He has gotten hostages released. He has had problems in his personal life, but I think that is irrelevant to all the good he has done.

A dork with a speech impediment. It's actually painful to listen to him - in more ways than one.

Say what you will about the man's shortcomings, but Jesse Jackson is a powerful speaker. I'm not sure how many people remember this, but when Dr. Seuss died, Jesse Jackson happened to be a guest on SNL. For the news segment, Jackson was brought on to read Green Eggs & Ham - it sounds ridiculous, but it ended up being one of the more moving tributes to someone recently passed away that I can remember. Jackson read so eloquently and powerfully that many of the audience were moved to tears.
