Civil-rights activist the Rev. Jesse Jackson took the microphone moments ago at the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Eatonville, where he is preaching about the tragedy of Trayvon Martin's killing.

Dressed in a dark gray suit and blue tie, Jackson began his address with a chant: "Stop the violence. Save the Children. Keep hope alive!"

Jesse Jackson is wrong. And his inflammatory comments might come back to bite him.

''There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,'' Jesse Jackson said several years ago, ''than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery -- and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.''

If I were to say in a open forum what I thought of Jackson. It would take a team from the JPL and an Atomic clock to time my banning...

Jesse is well on his way to inciting a race riot.

Look, there's so much disinformation about this incident. The LAST thing we need is Jesse Jackson's completely ill-informed race-baiting.

If there was a hole in the BACK of Trayvon's head, don't you think the coroner would have "noticed"?

And don't you think that the racist, pro-Hispanic prosecutor would have at least "held" Zimmerman?

I don't care how pro second amendment you are, that would be damning.

All these blind idiots are going to do is create more hatred. Jackson is a lying race baiter.

Jackson is going to stir-up the Skinheads, the neo-nazis and the KKK. This is going to get very ugly.

He is not wrong he is deliberately lying, and no, he will not get bit by it. But the Santorum clique will be here soon to gawk and declare that this "new fact" just shows Rick was right about Zimmerman's mental condition at the time of the shooting.

But Jackson told the crowd at the church, "Zimmerman told police he had killed him. Shot him in the back of the head in self-defense."

Let's see if the national/Florida media call Jackson out on this apparent LIE.

These people act like we are still living in the 60’s. The nation has moved on but they are doing their best to take us back. They should be arrested for inciting violence.

His remark conflicts with previously published information.

I am so shocked that Je$$e Jackson doesn't have his facts right. /s

And his inflammatory comments might come back to bite him.

What is to be expected of a person who would rush to the scene of Dr. Martin Luther King's death and smear blood on his white shirt and then parade for the cameras and proclaim the next day, "He died in my arms"?

Not to worry.......

I'm sure Holder is currently in the process convening a task force to investigate this rabble-rouser.
