MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Rev. Jesse Jackson has urged thousands of protesters in the Wisconsin Capitol to continue their stand against a sweeping anti-union bill that state Republicans are pushing.

Jackson made an unannounced appearance at the protests Friday afternoon. Protesters rushed to shake his hand or high-five him, and many shouted, "Thank you, Jesse."

Jackson told the protesters they were fighting for a just cause.....

Is Sharpton there too? Seems those two always have to get their noses into thing that don’t concern them — I guess it’s the only way to keep their names in the news. Otherwise, they would have nothing else to do.

If Jesse Jackson showed up to support me in my cause, I’d begin to wonder if I was on the right side of the issue.

These delusional protesters ACTUALLY believe that Jackson’s support will somehow help them in the eyes of the public....

Hey, maybe Al can get a mob of teachers to attack an innocent Jew. He hasn’t done that in awhile...

That explains the chant I heard on TV: “Union rights are human rights!”

America’s former #1 Race Pimp is concerned that Al Sharpton has taken away his money gig. Sorry Jesse. You’re too late. Fat Al has won the title of America’s #1 Race Pimp. You’re just #2.

That’s all Wisconsin needs with this Jocker showing up. Let the states take care of themselves, the Feds have more than enough to fix.

Has he offered to pay for the deficit that will result if the cutbacks aren’t implemented?

Is there any doubt that Saint Martin Marxist Luther King would be marching with these unions goons were he alive today?

Even here, there's a small but vocal segment of FReepers who embrace MLK just because he had an 'R' next to his name. Well, when he was shot in Memphis, just what was MLK doing?

Why marching with a union, of course!

And Marty Junior took a firm stand against against personal liberty and freedom with his opposition to RIGHT TO WORK (which should be the law everywhere):

"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as 'right to work.' It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. It is supported by Southern segregationists who are trying to keep us from achieving our civil rights and our right of equal job opportunity. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone.Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped. Our weapon is our vote."

Marty Junior, Jesse, and Fat Al -- they're all the same, supporting the thugocracy of unionism.

You know that Jesse was looking for something that might make him relevant again. Make sure he “stays out da Bushes”.

Community Organizer Parasites like Jackson always gravitate to get their faces and names in the news?

“If Jesse Jackson showed up to support me in my cause, I’d begin to wonder if I was on the right side of the issue”.

...this is the exact argument I have with lib relatives. I point out the dirtballs, wild eyed, gray haired hippies, and the nut job Hollywood types that are liberals and ask “do you really associate your beliefs with people like this”? “Have you taken a good look around at who your like minded associates are”?
