Jesse Jackson Sr. responds to 'Duck Dynasty' star's comments
Chicago Tribune ^ | 12/24/13

Posted on 12/24/2013 10:40:33 PM PST by BunnySlippers

Jackson’s group, along with LGBT group GLAAD and the National Organization for Women, urged A&E to keep Robertson on an indefinite hiatus from the show, which the network started following Robertson’s comments criticizing homosexuality in an interview with GQ magazine.

Jackson Sr. and the leaders of the other groups are demanding a sit-down meeting with Cracker Barrel and A&E in the next couple of days.

“It is unacceptable that a personality who has been given such a large platform would benefit from racist and anti-gay comments,” the group leaders state in the release.

It is also “unacceptable” that a religion hustler forget he is supposed to be on the side of the Holy Bible, but hey that’s life in the world of the liberal sewer!

Looks like the GayKK and the Black KKK are hoodin’ up to lynch the Robertson family...Sick

If Cracker Barrel caves to the GayKK and Black KKK again...they can forget my business

The check cleared the bank and the money is in his account, now jesse jackass will start to stir up the pot.

Maybe he should be talking to his son about his problems instead.

Every time I see Jackson, hear his voice, or read about him I have this overwhelming urge to dig up James Earl Ray’s mouldy old body and kick the $#!^ out of him while screaming “It wasn’t a single shot rifle, you A-hole!”

Let me see if I understand this correctly. The Reverend Jackson is angry that Phil Robertson quoted the Bible?

GLAAD did’t get the reaction they wanted. Calls in for reinforcements.

Who cares what JJ thinks other than the media?

Nah it’s just Jesse.

He hasn’t had a good platform for a while now, he is looking to bring himself back into some Glory.

Hey Jess: While you are meeting ask them what they think of the knock-out game you have been ignoring A-wipe.

Race baiting has kept Jesse in the limelight ever since he smeared MLK blood on his shirt.

That platform wasn’t just given you dip. It was worked for and earned.

“Reverend” Jesse Jackson is to religion what rap “music” is to grand opera.

From their [Cracker Barrel's]initial actions, it is[was] not us they were afraid of offending. It was only after they saw the handwriting on the wall that they changed their tune [attitude]. I think in their case, the old, "One who is convinced against their will, remains unconvinced still."

If they do a sit down with Jackson and his shake down gang, I will not do a sit down at their table. But since the chances of me doing a sit down at Cracker Barrel since this are slim to none.....well.
