Smellin' a Pay Day:Jesse Jackson throws in his 2 nonsensical cents 'Duck Dynasty' star's comments
Jesse smells money in the Louisiana water!
Chicago Tribune reports Jesse Jackson Sr. has jumped into the controversy surrounding comments by Phil Robertson, star of A&E’s backwoods reality TV show, “Duck Dynasty.”
In an announcement sent out Tuesday, Jackson Sr. compared Robertson’s recent comments about African-Americans, gay people and women to comments made by the driver of Rosa Parks’ bus.
"At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law,” he said in the release. “Robertson's statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was ‘white privilege.’”
Jackson’s human rights group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, has demanded meetings with A&E and with Cracker Barrel regarding the two companies’ treatment of Robertson, who stars in the show as the head of a Louisiana family that makes duck calls.
Clearly Jackson sees an opportunity to extort money under the table from scared organizations. It’s what the race pimp does to be paid to go away.
*quack*
Jackson is losing his touch. His shakedown tactics worked well a decade ago, but he is so yesterday I doubt this will amount to anything.
Plus the DD controversy is about homosexual getting there shirts in a twist, not discrimination.
What an idiot!
On the contrary....
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
One day back in the ‘80s, Jackson called the mother of Jesus a “homeless, unwed mother.” That’s the day he would have burnt his “reverend” card in my eyes had he had one in the first place.
Jesse must be behind on his “love child” support payments and needs a little extra cash. Maybe he could ask his son for a few extra dollars.....oooops I forgot, his son is kinda on hiatus for a while.
White privilege? How about race baiter privilege? These useless leeches have been getting away with this shakedown racket for decades. They should be in prison. Or maybe stoking boilers with nellie mandellie.
Well, I guess that rightly puts the gays in the hands of poverty pimps.
Jesse is the new black obermeister. As whites we are too inferior to see pass the color.
But this is worse because this is like in Pakistan: Jesse poking the eyes of children or making them self hating so as to collect donations for Jesse to get his cut.
How long before Eric Holder gets involved? 
From now on, there should be people in the audience using DD duck calls every time JJ and gay mafia make public appearances. Drown them out using the “laughing duck” call.
Cracker Barrel showed a lot of weakness - had they just stayed out of the thing rather than had a knee-jerk reaction, they wouldn’t be harrassed by the criminal Jackson crew.
Time for Phil Robertson to point out the hypocrisy of Jesse having a child with another woman. Can you TRUST a man who does this while preaching Christian values? Do you really know a man by the fruit he bears (actions) or his words?
Phil is pretty good at asking questions in which the answer conveys his point. Socratic method of teaching in action.
Just one more reason to stand with Phil.
I just figured out by it is so difficult to understand him when he talks, he is so full of crap it distorts he speech.
Hey, speaking of phonies - what ever happened to that waitress who supposedly had a customer write an anti-gay remark on her slip?
Notice how quickly THAT dropped from the headlines.
The "Reverend" Jesse Jackson. He's come out from cover on this one - Phil flushed him, now he can take a shot at the guy.
I imagine after a few well-aimed blasts the media will drop this debate in a hurry.
Hey Jesse: "Duck!"
Surely this is enough to get Uncle Jesse locked up in a mental institution!
There’s not that many people with negative IQ scores that will listen to his feckless ramblings
A&E is getting hammered for their decision to 'suspend' Phil Robertson from the reality show he is a central part of because a gay pressure group complained. My guess is that Jackson's demand will be acknowledged by A&E but won't be appeased because A&E probably learned their lesson about appeasing pressure groups.
