Once again, Jesse Jackson makes a racist statement and does his best to put as much distance between himself and... um... himself:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson called Tuesday on Democrats seeking the 2008 nomination for president to give S.C. voters "something to vote for" when they go to the polls in January.On a statewide tour to register new voters, Jackson said South Carolina will determine "who has momentum" in the primary when it votes Jan. 29.
Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for "acting like he's white" in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles' arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La. Jackson, who also lives in Illinois, endorsed Obama in March, according to The Associated Press.
"If I were a candidate, I'd be all over Jena," Jackson said after an hour-long speech at Columbia's historically black Benedict College.
"Jena is a defining moment, just like Selma was a defining moment," said the iconic civil rights figure, who worked with Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1965 Selma civil rights movement and was with King at his 1968 assassination.
Later, Jackson said he did not recall making the "acting like he's white" comment about Obama, stressing he only wanted to point out the candidates had not seized on an opportunity to highlight the disproportionate criminal punishments black youths too often face.
Yeah, he doesn't recall. Or he denies saying it. Or he doesn't remember.
Uh huh.
Hey, MSM... help jog the jerk's memory and play it back for him. Whip out a portable player or a monitor, sit his dumb ass down in front of it, and rock that video back and forth a few times.
Let him see the look on his face when he made that statement. The anger in his eyes.
Or is it greed?
Then ask yourselves this - why do you keep pointing cameras and microphones at this jerk?
Hopefully, for these moments of rubbing his nose in the gigantic verbal turds he leaves on the national carpet time and time again.
"Look what you did... LOOK WHAT YOU DID... don't look away... DON'T LOOK AWAY! BAD RACIST! BAD RACE-BAITING JERK! NO!"
Don't try to claim that "Hymietown" is a thing of the past for Jesse. Every day is Hymietown Day for Jesse as long as there's money and headlines to be made from it, even if it's preying on folks with a similar skin tone to him (regardless of how they act).
I'm surprised he doesn't list "Professional Racist" on his returns.

You ignorant, blind fucktard.
The statement that reeks the worst in your tirade is the Bush-bash.
Wake up, moron: I didn't vote for Bush either time.
You do a fine job of showing the "Blame Bush for every problem" crowd for what it is.
Here's the solutio nto all your problems: Tear up that Welfare check, roll up your sleeves, and get back to work, punk.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? What stereotypical white behavior is the founder of the so-called Rainbow Coalition referring to? And if a white power-broker accused a white candidate of "acting like he's black," wouldn't Jesse Jackson (and his buddy Al Sharpton) be in the front row of the lynch mob calling for his disembowelment?
I'm so confused.
The double standard on racism is weighing us down. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a day when his children would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, yet his most intimate followers -- including Jesse Jackson -- seem more obsessed with the color of a man's skin than the content of his character. If Jesse Jackson (and many, many other black leaders) cannot live up to King's standard, can they truly expect other races to do it?
I won't waste any more of your bandwidth. I blogged more fully about this at Under the News

A. don't bash bush bashers. He's the man who makes Nixon look 'not soooo bad'
B. Jesse is a shakedown artist. If a news org. stops covering him, he'll say it's because they're racist. And the "racist" news org's competition will love calling them on it no matter how baseless the charge may be.
C. Maybe we could send Jackson and Bush off to MIR and forget to resupply them.

I am a cracker and I voted for Bush. I am stupid as are all white people. Don't forget I am racist too because only white people can be racist.
I eat at Cracker Barrel because I like the name, it makes me feel good.

By the way, Master, you're going to need to make a decision: give up using the word "cracker" as a racist insult for white people or open-source the word "nigger" for all to use.
Cracker's intended as an insult just as spiteful, hateful, and angry, right? So what's the difference? What's REALLY the difference?
Just as ugly, man.
Me, I'd rather live in a world where all racist terms were dumped. Nobody noticed such superficial shit as race.
And, no, religion is not the same as race. (The whole "Is Jewishness a race or religion?" debate is still going on, but being a Bacon Eating Jew Zionist who thinks Jew Antizionists are self-loathing scum, I think it's both.)

"...I'd be all over Jena,"
So Jessie Jackson also has a crush on Jena Malone?
Finally something we all can agree to.
