Black politicians need to learn to steal from the right people
Category: Opinion Written by Atlanta Daily World
In this Feb. 20, 2013 file photo, former Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife Sandi leave federal court in Washington. Prosecutors are recommending four years in prison for Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., following his guilty plea this year on criminal charges that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items. The government is also recommending that Jackson be ordered to pay $750,000 in restitution to the campaign, and forfeit $750,000. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 3, along with his wife, Sandra. She pleaded guilty to filing false joint federal income tax returns that knowingly understated the income the couple received.

Conservative blogger and Fox contributor Erick Erickson is the latest man to come out of his cave.

(CNN) -- I'm a big fan of Michelle Obama's, but if she's going to be hitting the circuit to raise money for Democrats, she has to be prepared for heckling. Especially heckling from gay rights activists like the one who interrupted her speech Tuesday night.
