Jackson: Trump birth talk is race "code"
Rev. Jesse Jackson told POLITICO today that the birther movement is part of a larger pattern of rollbacks against civil rights and and an attack on the legitimacy of the nation's first African-American president -- reserving special ire for developer Donald Trump and his renewed interest in the conspiracy theory.
"Any discussion of his birthplace is a code word," said Jackson. "It calls upon ancient racial fears."
"Trump has trumpeted this cause. For him to go down this low is a bit surprising," Jackson said, making explicit what many black leaders have suggested. "He is now tapping into code-word fears that go far beyond a rational discourse."
Jackson also pointed to a broader pattern of hostility towards civil rights -- pointing to a number of events, including the battle over public sector unions, a transportation policy that he says disadvantages poor minority city dwellers, and a renewed interest in policies like voter ID.
"I'm saying there's a pattern here. It's not just name calling of Barack. We'll win that battle," said Jackson 'There is a retreat-- a pronounced, documented retreat on civil rights enforcement."
"This is the most personal attacks on any president ever,

Ah to be in the RACE business..............
“Any discussion of his birthplace is a code word,” said Jackson. “It calls upon ancient racial fears.”
I’m getting a little sick of Sharpton and Jackson And Obama telling me how white people think. I am perfectly aware of what I think, and that ain’t it.
What Jackson actually said was “Birftok be mofocodewode.”
Dang, it just seems that every day is a battle against the libs. Geeze, what drugs do they use to keep up the stupidity and obfuscation? They seem never-ending.
Charges of racism are the last refuge of a liberal.
Jackson could instead actually address the substance of the concern expressed by Trump. How is it that Obama, with a foreign born father, meets the "Natural Born Citizen" constitutional requirement?
But instead of actual substance Jackson wants to talk about race and code words. Jackson is talking about himself. Does he have the intellectual capacity to carry on an intelligent discourse about anything at all? Democrats like to change the subject or resort to name calling instead of taking on a subject when they clearly are on the losing side of the argument.
I suggest Jesse Jackson read “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”
So, jackson, you race hustler, your race card is overdrawn. Charge DENIED.
I always said that Barry would wave the Race flag when he got in trouble. He can’t help but play the victim.
That was great! How do you come up with this stuff so fast? Very impressive.
Code words are one of my favorite subjects:
1. “Diversity” is a code word for anti-White affirmative action.
2. “Reverend” is a code word for race hustler.
3. “Civil Rights” is a code word for get rich quick scam. See the SPLC.

“Not only does Bennett claim that he was harassed by Rainbow Push staff members because he is gay, the former Reverend Jesse Jackson employee has also accused the good reverend of being on the down low, asking him for sex, and forcing him to perform demeaning tasks of a sexual nature.
“Rev. Jackson said, ‘[F]rom that gay teacher, I got a good grade, I got to use his car, I got ten dollars and I got my d*ck sucked.’ Rev. Jackson said, ‘[T]hat’s not gay, that is surviving.’”
According to information posted on The Windy City Times, Jackson once asked Bennett to rub an ointment between his thighs while he was sexually aroused and allegedly admitted to a homosexual affair with a gay high school teacher in his younger days. . .
Bennett also purports that Jackson forced him to pick up used condoms in hotel rooms after Jackson had sex with various women.
Another comment from the light end of the Bell Curve.
Jackson has more “code” words than an Army
We’ve gone from race cards to race codes! What’s next?
Jesse dares challenge Donald Trump to a verbal war? Is he not a student of the first round KOs Trump has delivered to Rove, Rosie, Seinfeld, and DeNiro...three of them in just the past week? This oughta be quick.
