Jackson in the House [Robert Costa]
Rev. Jesse Jackson has appeared outside of the House chamber. He tells National Review Online that as he walked through the anti-Obamacare rally, he was subject to racial slurs — "words that I have heard for so long, a spirit of meanness and fear." He says the "ideological lines being drawn resemble a civil war." The protesters, he says, are being "programmed by the elitists to demonize . . . just Iike they demonized Dr. King and Nelson Mandela." He adds that he will stay at the Capitol to "watch history."

Ummm, tell me, I cannot for the life of me remember when?
Maybe my memory is wrong, but he said: they demonized Dr. King” Now if he’s talking about Martin Luther King, Jr, wasn’t it the democratic party that demonized him until he made some kind of a deal with Kennedy?
And wasn’t he and his father both Republicans? I think his father stayed a Republican his whole life.
So if I’m correct, then Mr. Jackson is trashing the democrats when meaning to trash the Republicans?
Please, don’t count on the idiot kids...most are clueless.
Rush babies are maybe a half a percent.
He wants a civil war? Maybe he should re-think that. If it comes to that, he’s going to lose.
Olay that race card Jesse. Play it man. play it like you own it.
SOB’s/
In my best Jow Wilson voice, YOU LIE!!!
How can anything this race baiter and adulterer says be believed?
Besides, this claim fell apart yesterday.
Too late, Jesse, go race bait elsehwere
They are conning the con man. There was just a you tube video posted of the protesters and the Black Caucus. What they said did not happen. there is proof. Liars.
You know what? You just had a brilliant idea on how to bring this whole thing home to the young liberals who vote.
We should start now and use comedy to make fun of their being drafted by the democratic party to pay all the bills for those who are older then themselves.
One of the Nicer E-mails Tonight [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Keep digging down. Please keep celebrating Republican obstinacy. As a
liberal, nothing can be finer than watching blowhard racists totally
implode. You are losing followers every day thanks to your idiocy.
PLEASE DOUBLE DOWN ON IT.

Obama is doing his own race baiting today.
About that march in DC right now for AMNESTY. Did the tea partiers get any encouragment??
President Obama sought to reassure those at the rally with a video message presented on giant screens at the National Mall. The president said he was committed to working with Congress this year on a comprehensive bill to fix a “broken immigration system.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Frustrated with the pace of action to overhaul the country’s immigration system, thousands of demonstrators descended on the nation’s capital Sunday, waving American flags and holding homemade signs in English and Spanish. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-us-immigration-march,0,6717332.story
I could care less.
Video appears to dispute lawmaker’s claim of protesters’ racial slurs
Is this as true as his claim to have been there when MLK was shot?
Mark Steyn: This Is Even Worse Than You’re Thinking
—Ace
We can rally tomorrow to take back Congress, repeal the bill, and impeach the Communist in Chief’s ass once we get subpeona power and are able to find out all the laws he’s broken to pass this one.
For now, let’s grieve over the damage that’s been done in one fell blow.
If Barack Obama does nothing else in his term in office, this will make him one of the most consequential presidents in history. It’s a huge transformative event in Americans’ view of themselves and of the role of government. You can say, oh, well, the polls show most people opposed to it, but, if that mattered, the Dems wouldn’t be doing what they’re doing. Their bet is that it can’t be undone, and that over time, as I’ve been saying for years now, governmentalized health care not only changes the relationship of the citizen to the state but the very character of the people. As I wrote in NR recently, there’s plenty of evidence to support that from Britain, Canada and elsewhere.
More prosaically, it’s also unaffordable. That’s why one of the first things that middle-rank powers abandon once they go down this road is a global military capability. If you take the view that the US is an imperialist aggressor, congratulations: You can cease worrying. But, if you think that America has been the ultimate guarantor of the post-war global order, it’s less cheery. Five years from now, just as in Canada and Europe two generations ago, we’ll be getting used to announcements of defense cuts to prop up the unsustainable costs of big government at home. And, as the superpower retrenches, America’s enemies will be quick to scent opportunity.
Longer wait times, fewer doctors, more bureaucracy, massive IRS expansion, explosive debt, the end of the Pax Americana, and global Armageddon. Must try to look on the bright side...
He also aims to make Republicans partners in the destruction of America, by making us endorse his cataclysmic irresponsibility — when we take back Congress, we will be faced with two vicious choices: Raise taxes ruinously, or allow the country to repudiate its debt and go bankrupt. Because the best option — repealing the bill — will be impossible until a real President is installed and next-to-impossible thereafter.
“The protesters, he says, are being “programmed by the elitists to demonize . “
C’mon, Jesse! You and your leftist friends have been demonizing the Tea Party crowd all along. Just like you demonizing anyone else who disagrees with your stupid ideas. This isn’t about civil rights! It’s about a country that’s gone broke paying for stupid ass policies that you’ve promoted for forty years. As for elitists, the Democrats in Congress tell us what we’re going to get, and that’s it, regardless of what the public wants.
The biggest elitists I’ve seen in this country are leftists. It’s their way or the highway. And this lousy piece of legislation called a healthcare reform bill is an excellent example.
He and Sharpton were the inspiraltiong for one of Biden's greatest gaffs
It's these two that caused him to see Obama as clean and articulate
You lie!

Why don't you go after your black brothers and sisters who use the "N" word in their RAP music? Or is that alright with you?
