Rev. Jesse Jackson pleaded on Tuesday for Terri Schiavo

The Rev. Jesse Jackson pleaded on Tuesday for Terri Schiavo to be kept alive as the brain-damaged Florida woman at the center of a bitter family and political dispute slipped toward death.

"She is being starved to death, she is being dehydrated to death. That's immoral and unnecessary," the civil rights leader told reporters after meeting Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, near the hospice where she is being cared for.

The Schindler's invited Jackson to visit to boost their effort to keep their daughter alive against court orders and her husband's wishes. Michael Schiavo believes his wife, 41 and severely brain-damaged for 15 years, would never have wanted to live in this state.

"This is one of the profound moral issues of our time," said Jackson, adding he was in touch with members of the Florida legislature to try to get them to intervene.

"We ask today for some hard hearts to be softened up."

But last-ditch action by state lawmakers appeared highly unlikely after a flurry of efforts by supporters of the Schindlers failed to get a reversal of the state court order for Schiavo's feeding tube to be removed.

The Schindler's invited Jackson to visit to boost their effort to keep their daughter alive against court orders????? Why???? No offense to Terri but her parents are fucked up! She has been brain dead for 15 years! Why would any parent want to see the shell of what once was their daughter for 15 years? Terri died a decade ago. Let her go! Now, the parents are fighting over the autopsy????? WTF ??? Ahhhh, HELLO, Terri passed away most likely due to no water or food? What the hell are they expecting to find?

It is sad for Terri. She needs to be allowed to pass on in peace. If she could see her parents she'd be bitch slapping them across the room saying "stupid people look smart around you!"

Sorry, I got off track. This post was about the great cockroach jackson. This guy is the single biggest waste of air on earth. He shows up at every media event & spews his "racial harmony" (LMFAO) doctrine to anybody that will listen. It always appears that he is important, that is being surrounded with his klan, he creates the illusion that he is worth a shit. This guy sucks. He had no buisness visting Terri. He did it only to spew the jackson agenda. He could care less about what the state of Florida is doing or how Terri is doing. It is all about TV time & $$$$$$ !
