Jesse Jackson is doing his shakedown routine on the Coca-Cola company
A group that monitors corporate ethics says the Coca-Cola Co. is "finding out the hard way" that cooperating with the Rev. Jesse Jackson -- and contributing to his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition -- doesn't stop Jackson from complaining or protesting.
Peter Flaherty, president of the National Legal and Policy Center, is urging the Coca-Cola board of directors to stop giving money -- and stop making policy concessions -- to Jackson.
Why a corporation would have anything to do with this race-baiting goon is beyond me, especially a company as huge a Coca-Cola. If they can survive the debacle of "New Coke", they can survive the threats of Jackson.
