Jesse Jackson had said things that were perceived as anti-semitic.

That's being kind.  Jesse Jackson referred to New York City as "H----town", while actively receiving the support of Louis Farrakhan.  This was in his 1984 campaign.

What qualifications did Jackson have that suggested he was up to the office of the Presidency?  I find that one hard to come up with.  I would ask people here what qualifications for the Presidency did Jesse Jackson had that Pat Robertson did not have?  They both ran in 1988; why does Robertson (who is, indeed a jerk) get flamed while Jackson gets a pass?
