Jesse Jackson's Gas Guzzling Escalade Stolen After Green Jobs Rally
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, September 3, 2010, 10:05 PM
He wanted the people of Detroit to take his advice.
They took his Escalade instead.
Unfortunately the gas guzzler he was driving was stolen and stripped.
Jalopnik.com reported:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson came to Detroit last weekend pushing green jobs for the U.S. economy. On Monday, the Cadillac Escalade carrying him around the city was stolen and stripped. Does building replacement $1000 rims count as “green jobs?”
Jackson came to Detroit as part of UAW President Bob King’s “Jobs, Justice and Peace” march on Sunday, which drew about 5,000 people to a combination protest and Democratic Party spirit parade. A few days before the rally, Jackson wrote a piece for CNN.com laying out its goals:
A key component of stable job growth is our nation’s energy policy. If our country gets serious about energy savings and independence from oil, we could rebuild domestically and power the U.S. economy with American jobs…Ending the subsidies that make dirty fuels artificially cheap can spark a shift in infrastructure development, create more jobs and allow America to become more self-sufficient.
A day after the rally, the 2009 Cadillac Escalade SUV that Jackson used to get around Detroit went missing from a parking lot near his hotel. According to WXYZ-TV, the SUV was later found abandoned, with the window busted and its wheels gone, similar to the jacking of a SUV used by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing’s security.

Jesses Jackson has never work a day in his life.

File it under “Couldn’t Have Happened to Nicer People!”
Dustin commented:
The Escalade is one of the worst vehicles in the category of theft damages. It might actually be the very worst.
It’s tough to steal a car that isn’t very old, thanks to modern fuel cut off devices and chips in the keys. So instead, people steal parts from cars that they have towed away. They still need parts from popular cars like Accords, but the real money is in stupid expensive stuff like rims from a blinged up Tahoe (an Escalade).
What (shakedown victim) company was it that promised to support Rainbow Coalition if only they would open up their books to an independent audit? Smartest reaction to such a Jackson scam I’ve ever seen.
american patriot commented:
An example of the “work” product of Democratic voters.
Democratic policies bring all sorts of heartaches. When will the common sense among us learn this lesson thoroughly. NEVER, ever, vote Democrat.
The public schools, unions, and Katrina are just examples of Democratic policies in action.

Those racist Bastids, stealin’ a bro’s ride, an’ then trashing all the pimpin’ bling off’n it….
LOLOLOLOL….
Granny commented:
Detroit is a wasteland. About the only industry left is recycling. I’m sure the locals were delighted at Jesse’s contribution towards their “green economy.”
wanumba commented:
So … like, who are those white ‘handlers’ of his?
wanumba commented:
Oh, and “green jobs” means Ghaddafi’s “Green Islamic (secularish) Socialism, Ghaddafi’s sort of version of Baathism, not actually anything to do with “energy.”
Taxpayer1234 commented:
LOL!!!!!
befuddled commented:
jesse jackson + “green jobs”= corruption. wow, if it wasn’t official before, you know now, green jobs is just another wealth redistribution scam similiar to all those urban empowerment zones.
sliderblaze commented:
no doubt some unemployed UAW workers, them boys know how to strip a car. i kid i kid.
kato commented:
Green jobs? Make that black jobs. And if not black jobs, then black handouts.
Jesse is the grand-daddy of the black race pimps.

Pluperfect!

See how well my economic policies are working?
I have impoverished the average citizen while making Kings out of politicians and cronies. That is Change!
Sure, we might have to circle the Limousines and SUVs at political rallies to keep the $4,000 rims and tires on them. But, make no mistake as soon as I import the millions of solar panels from China every single auto factory in the USA will pollution free – and job free when the sun is not out.
Of course, the average citizen will be broke and not able to afford gas to drive to his green job – but that is a good thing! Politicians will have plenty of gas for their black windowed Limousines and SUVs!
Even better, there will no jobs left except for $8 per hour ACORN jobs and union paid picketing jobs! The average worker will be our slave!
And, once I get 0bamacare in high gear the American Dollar will be worth one Mexican Peso and the Tax Payers will be begging for mercy! I love that kind of Change!
My limousine is over heating and I have a meeting with Jesse Jackson. I think it is time to form Limousine Convoys so we will not lose our shinny wheels while partying at fancy hotels.
No, I will not be joining 0bamacare or will my political cronies. 0bamacare sucks! 0bamcare is only for those few remaining Tax Payers. Good day.

What’s that…… three, maybe four people ?
Should be an easy and fast investigation.
It’s Bush’s fault !

What’s with the queer looking gent holding his arm?

@BigAl, thats why in spain for every 1 green job created, 2.1 jobs were lost. can these people do simple math?
Ken commented:
It’s Bush’s fault. He sent out all white tea partiers to mess with Jesse.
auntie em commented:
What? Jackson’s too good for a smart car? I don’t feel bad at all about this. He shouldn’t be flaunting his gas guzzler in areas where people have nothing unless the gubmint gives it to them, and dang it….they aren’t giving them escalades. Maybe he should be fighting for that….he is a victim of escalade violence after all.

Please see the first comment. I’ve noticed that Word Spell check often suggests advise when the correct word is advice.

DETROIT, the land of IRON and STEEL.
The old lady stays home and irons while the old man goes out and steals.
Ginger commented:
The republican party did it!
Maybe JJ hired his thugs to do it! He had them bussed in. Is he running for a demo rat position some where? Oh, I forgot he does not work! I wonder what corporation he is strong arming these days?
Andreas K. commented:
Apparently there is a god, and he likes a good laugh.
As for “green jobs”… they’re utterly failing in Europe. Spain can’t fun the green companies anymore, now they’re all dying. In Germany attempts by the government to force house owners into this green stuff are backfiring, because going green on your house is horribly expensive.
Paul52 commented:
Maybe someone will steal and strip the Rev. Ooooh, not pretty. Bet he was gonna give dat ride to his love child in Cal. LOLOL
daryl commented:
Feel Like you’ve been violated, Jesse? Now maybe you have an idea of how all of the people and companies felt like that you shook down under threats of black boycotts down through the last forty five years.
Hey Jesse! Sheryl (one square) Crow has a message for you too.

Actually Dustin “It’s tough to steal a car that isn’t very old, thanks to modern fuel cut off devices and chips in the keys.”
That’s not really true.
Here in Vienna police had to form a special squad because of increased theft of new cars. Organized crime from Eastern Europe is actively targetting new cars, with these features. The problem is now so massive that, as I said, police in Vienna formed a huge squad to deal with the increasing number of car theft in eastern Austria.
Yes, a normal car thief can’t get them. But for organized crime even those new sophisticated devices are no real obstacle. And there’s a massive market for cars in Eastern Europe, so they come here, steal them, bring them out without problems (thanks to the Schengen Treaty and the EU) and sell the cars with profit back home.

I’m sure you all are too hard on the reverend.
It most certainly was a hybrid Escalade…right?

Man, I really love irony especially when it happens to asswipes like Jackson
Ed Wallis commented:
But: look at the BRIGHT SIDE!
Now Jesse will have to buy a new car, and THAT will “stimulate” the economy!
!!!Eleventy!!!
May much more of the same “fortune” befall him.
unknown jane commented:
LOL — if I remember correctly Jessie has had similar things happen before…on the south side of Chicago. They just stripped the vehicle that time (and yes, JJ used the “n” word).
Solidarity Mr. Jackson!!
Simsalabim commented:
Aw dang it. I was gonna say it was Bush’s fault but someone beat me to it.
Instead I will say it was the previous administration’s fault.
Diane commented:
The Lord really does take care of those that are evil and try to destroy everything that is good.
Moright commented:
Jesse’s chickens are coming home to roost!
How about send that brilliant young lady on tape from earlier this week in Washington to school Jesse on the legacy that a half century of welfare policy has had on the AA community and families?
gus commented:
There is no such thing as a GREEN JOB.
Making up bullsh!t like green jobs is all LIBTARDS have left. Green jobs and racism.
Would flying a fuxing Unicorn to work be considered a “green” job.
Liberals have destroyed our cities and now they are seeking to create more problems so they can pretend to fix non-existant problems.
What was wrong with our old REAL JOBS?

No. Whitey did it.
No. The friggin Gods ordained it!!!!

Jesse was in Detroit to push his new handout program “cash for junkies”, when his Escalade was stolen!

Anyone notice the muslim in the background???

gus commented:
You know what is really really funny. Every major city in America, especially Detroit are urban war zones. Jesse and the Kenyan Dimwit have allowed the out of control rot that these cesspools have become.
Yet they live high on the hog in luxury, all while claiming to care about the “bruthas”. And the urban slaves to govt hand-outs believe them.
MochaLite commented:
I just love this story! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
JS commented:
I work in Detroit and I dream of that City’s rebirth. The tires and rims were stolen from the Mayor’s car earlier in the week. I am completely embarrassed by these events. Please know there are many of us who want Detroit to heal!!
