An estimated 700,000 Americans died in the Civil War, one of the bloodiest times in our nation’s history. It’s hard to imagine anything quite measuring up in this day and age — but Jesse Jackson can.
On Thursday’s “Martin Bashir” on MSNBC, Jackson, the founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, said the budget battle on the Republican side represents an effort to make the federal government “dysfunctional.”
“[T]his really is a Civil War fight,” Jackson said. “This is making the federal government dysfunctional on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. These guys will support three wars. They’ll support tax dodgers. They’ll support the wealthiest Americans getting tax breaks. They want to cut into education and health care. This is an ideological battle.”
Jackson said those trying to shut down the federal government are doing so to make an “ideological-religious point.”
“This is a Civil War fight,” he said. “I think Time magazine has it right. This is the 150th anniversary of the 1861 Civil War. Now those are determined to shut the federal government down to make their point — their ideological-religious point.”
“You have those who believe in states’ rights and those who believe in a more perfect union,” he said. “States’ right are anti-civil rights, anti-workers’ right to bargain, anti-social justice, pro-rich and significantly insensitive to poor people — that was the great divide 150 years ago and it’s the great divide today in the ideological sense.”

Jesse, you’re so irrelevant.
the producers vs the entitlement class
Jesse, you haven’t seen ANYTHING yet.
Bring it.
Who the HELL can understand him the way he butchers the English language?
Jesse wants to enslave taxpayers.
There is a Civil War but Jesse don't know what it is about..
Jesse is himself warring against the Republic.. and always has been..
Jesse always PimPs for the abusers.. always... it can't be a mistake.. it is so consistent..
It may be, Jesse. Last time the idea in question was whether states could secede and do their own thing.
This time the line is drawn between the makers and the takers.
“Jesse Jackson declares federal budget fight the American Civil War all over again”
That’s because he doesn’t know any more about the budget than he does about the Civil War.
F^%$ Jesse Jackson!

Translation:
“This really is a Civil War fight,” “This is making the federal government dysfunctional on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. These guys will support three wars. They’ll support tax dodgers. They’ll support the wealthiest Americans getting tax breaks. They want to cut into education and health care. This is an ideological battle.”
Actually much more similar to The American Revolution, Einstein.
Bug Eyed POS ,Has stole enough with Whites laying down for his racism Crapola,Jessee BTW Just so you know ,Everyone gets infuriated when your filthy lying face is shown.
Jesse is so desperate for attention because he’s been upstaged by Al Sharpton. I have to admit, that would be hard to swallow.
Would be nice if we had an actual civil war right now.
That would sure beat everyone sitting around and letting the vermin destroy the country.
Bizzaro Civil War with Blacks trying to enslave Whites.
JJ: carpetbagging grifter, race-baiter and rhyming imbecile.
I’ll take Stonewall over Jesse any day.
How does Jesse continue to get time from the press?
I had a hard time understanding Jesse Jackson as well.
