As Americans prepare to mark the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech during the March on Washington, Rev. Jesse Jackson has decided now would be a good time to accuse the Tea Party of being just like the Confederacy. “The Tea Party is the resurrection of the Confederacy, it’s the Fort Sumter Tea Party,” Jackson told (Politico), referring to conservative opposition to President Barack Obama. Jackson said he is “absolutely” convinced that Republican opposition to Obama has more to do with race than it does with actually opposing White House policy.
