Jesse Jackson Leads Leftist Mob in “We Shall Overcome” at Wisconsin Union Rally (Video)

Jesse Jackson addressed the union members yesterday in the Wisconsin Capitol.
He led them in a rendition of “We Shall Overcome.”

WKBT reported:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson has urged thousands of protesters in the Wisconsin Capitol to continue their stand against a sweeping anti-union bill that state Republicans are pushing.

Jackson made an unannounced appearance at the protests Friday afternoon. Protesters rushed to shake his hand or high-five him, and many shouted, “Thank you, Jesse.”

Jackson told the protesters they were fighting for a just cause. He told them to hold strong to their principles and continue fighting to kill the bill. Then he led the masses in a rendition of “We Shall Overcome.”

Ah Jesse… the bottom-feeding catfish has arrived. Does he still want to cut al-Bama’s balls out or is he still guilty of castration without representation?

Unemployment rate among unionized, government millionaires = 0%.

Unemployment rate among taxpayers = 10% (subtract 0% unemployed government workers from the denominator); plus additional 6% underemployed.

My heart bleeds . . .

This cannot be repeated enough.

John Fund explains the true cause of all this “pomp and circumstances”:

“Ending dues deductions breaks the political cycle in which government collects dues, gives them to the unions, who then use the dues to back their favorite candidates and also lobby for bigger government and more pay and benefits,” Mr. Siegel told me. After New York City’s Transport Workers Union lost the right to automatic dues collection in 2007 following an illegal strike, its income fell by more than 35% as many members stopped ponying up.

There was a time when the young Jesse Jackson held the reigns of MLK’s legacy. He had it within his power to empower an entire generation of African Americans Self Determination. He could have overcome the poison influence of radicals like the Black Panthers.

BUT HE SPIT ON IT!

You sold out the very people you claim to represent Jesse! Write him a check and he will support your cause. Your new name is “Rent-a-Riot”.

a former democrat commented:

you know, several years ago I respected Jesse Jackson, used to think what a great man to stand up against the evil yucky conservatives and repubs. This is when I was a stanch democrat.

Now I see this, and I see a clown, an ignorant clown.

I am part of the silent majority, used to be pro-union, but after this stunt, I doubt I will ever support them again, this is not about the union members, this is about the unions hierarchy themselves, that is being threatened with this bill.

The Lame media and the Obama minions don’t seem to realise most independents do not watch or trust the “main” stream media anymore, we can get our info on the internet, we can read this bill ourselves, and see that it is a necessary bill, and frankly the federal govt i.e. Obama, needs to butt out of state issues.

He seems to do this over and over again, the cambridge calling cops racists, the ground zero victory mosque, he openly admits he doesn’t know the facts and then makes a statement, and then when the facts come out, he comes out looking like an ignorant fool, more so than usual, and the media like Couric, and sawyer, and Williamns prop up their messaih again.

I truely have never seen anything like it. Even when I was a Bill Clinton supporter, it was not this blantant or bad.

We have to keep standing up to the EVIL around us! God will and is helping.

The shoe is on the other foot and they can’t stand it! They worked hard for years having their secret meeting to take down AMERICA and they NEVER expected for us to stand up to them!

God Bless America

How ridiculous and insulting to thousands who have truly suffered to compare this, as they are doing, to Egypt or civil rights. Do these people truly feel “oppressed”? Do they have a clue what real oppression is?

Agree with #8. . . and for those of you who forgot history, it was the Blacks in power in Africa (mostly islamic blacks) that captured and SOLD their countrymen as slaves to the white-man and others (slavery still exists in parts of Africa today!).

Jesse Jackson is just like those men who sold out their own people and enslaved them. . . in Jackson’s case, he enslaves them to poverty and hopelessness and dependency on government handouts. While he lives a fabulous life on wining and dining and flying around. Sad. . . oh, so sad!!!

And Jackson’s song is not “We shall overcome” but “We Shall Overspend”!!

Hmmm, the name “Overspend Jackson”. . . has a ring to it!

Anyone wanting to see the Jesse Jackson Kiss of Death needs to take a ride through Cairo, Illinois sometime. (Third World in America.)

He’s really trying to recapture 1963 isn’t he.

Protests, plus cameras, equals Jesse Jackson trying to be the center of attention.

Jessie is looking for a check! Nothing more! Everyone across this country knows Jackson is a racists just like Al Sharpton. When Al shows up…he is looking for a check too!

This is a full demonstration of just exactly what the Democratic party is! Represented by low lives like Jackson! Union demand u pay for their pensions!

I wonder if the union would pay for my pension??? lol!!

A Wisconsin Marxist Family History Mystery

[One final word on Robert Borosage comes from an April
2005 article at FrontPageMag.com. Richard Poe writes:

In the November 29, 2004 issue of the Marxist journal The Nation, Robert
L. Borosage co-wrote an article with Nation editor Katrina Vanden Heuvel.
They wrote: “[P]rogressives drive this party now – we provide the energy,
the organizers, the ground forces, the ideas, and much of the money. We
should organize the opposition [against Republicans].
