Jesse Jackson Taunts Tea Party Protesters… Grabs At Their Signs (Video)

Jesse Jackson taunted tea party patriots yesterday outside the US Capitol. He even grabbed at their signs. The whole episode was filmed by his son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
And, of course, The Hill continued the state-run media lie that black representatives were assaulted and called n***er by tea party protesters on Saturday.
The Leftists will stop at nothing to destroy conservatives who stand in their way of absolute power over the American people.
Via Sweetness and Light:
Rev. Jesse Jackson confronted an angry crowd of approximately 200 Tea Party protesters outside the Capitol on Sunday evening while his son, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Ill.), filmed the encounter on his cell phone.
Jackson was visiting the Capitol to witness the expected passage of healthcare reform legislation, and he walked out of the building at 6:45 p.m. with his son. As he walked by a grassy knoll below the Speaker’s Lobby balcony, protesters were chanting anti-reform slogans and waving signs.
Jackson walked to the edge of a small stone wall and watched the crowd. Protesters recognized him moments later and, as if on cue, the whole crowd turned in unison away from the balcony and faced Jackson.
Rep. Jackson said he “relished” watching his father interact with the crowd. “He ran on platforms of healthcare reform during both of his presidential runs in 1984 and 1988,” he said, “so this is a monumental day for him.” As for why his dad chose to talk to the Tea Partiers, Jackson said he didn’t know, but that he was filming it all “for posterity.”
Jackson’s interaction was particularly tense given the assault on Saturday of two black congressmen by Tea Party protesters. Reps. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) and John Lewis (D-Ga.) were spat at and called the N-word as they entered the Capitol.
And, the media the media will stop at nothing to prop up these socialist thugs.

The use of the term “grassy knoll” put it over the top!

He’s just a shake-down artist. He has worked the government for all he can get. What a jackass.
PamelaofthePoconos commented:
Unfortunately his type is emboldened now. Flash mobs, frightening, have been going on in Philadelphia for awhile. They email, facebook, whatever. Large groups meet in a downtown locale and behave in a menacing manner. Shopkeepers have to lock up, people have to get off the streets.
Jack commented:
Screw him. I’ll believe the racial slurs when I see a video and hear the audio of it happening.
Tell me, how is calling Barney Frank a “faggot” any worse than calling Tea Partiers “teabaggers”?
Dick_Nixon commented:
Where is the video of this racial assault? Nixon has one of Jessie Jackson using anti Semetic slurs, but hasn’t seen the one on this supposed incident.
Militant Conservative commented:
Jesse, (Adulturer) Jackson. What a pant load he is. Taunting the public is not wise. This time your ilk is walking on the, and wiping their asses with the constitution WE love. You have no idea what damage you’ve done to your own party.
AuntieMadder commented:
In the clip, are some of them chanting, “Yes, we did?”
Slappy commented:
“The assault on Saturday of two black congressmen by Tea Party protesters”? Jeez. Talk about a gross exaggeration of even the alleged behavior.
As for Jesse, he’s out there taunting the protestors as if he’s accomplished something personally, when other than enriching himself, what has he actually accomplished anyway? He’s a hack.

Jesse Jackson, just another nazi.

Jackson is starting to shake down citizens now, huh? Pound sand Jackson, your man Obama is on his way to being slapped by the Supreme Court.
DMartyr commented:
Funny, if a democrat attacks a conservative, it’s an alleged assault.
But when it’s an unfounded claim of conservative attacking democrats, it’s assumed to be a true assault.
Joanne commented:
Jackson is about all he can get free on the back of the white man.
Omar commented:
The “reverend” was desperately hoping he could record just one unsavory epithet. At this point in his career as a race baiter, it’s really more of a business calculus than anything else. . . . Unfortuneately, he hasn’t yet figured out that the MSM are unadulterated liars when they claim these protesters are “racist,” so he was bound to be disappointed.
Joanne commented:
The tail is waging the American dog….such a pity, but this is what happens when a socialist is elected into office under the guise of being a centrist…..and with no bloody proof of eligibility.
I just hope that Obama’s eligibility will be challenged, which will collapse the whole democrat deck of cards in one fell swoop. Maybe people will start to realize that trying to get Obama out by concentrating on the issues is foolhardy, because Obama has no desire to play by the rules…..the Constitution is for him to wipe his shoes on.
JJAYNED commented:
Personally, it is very likely that the DNC or Pelosi hired people to infiltrate the crowd and shout out things. They want to make the
Tea Party look bad, and that would be the easiest way to do it. Especially knowing that no one in the media would investigate.
gus commented:
Jesse Jackson is scum. How did we get to the point where a “Reverend” has bastard children and shakes down businesses to get RICH, yet he is still respected by the LEFT?
Is it that hard to judge good men from bad?
