At Wisconsin Capitol Jesse Jackson Compares Scott Walker to Racist Democrat George Wallace

The left continues to impress…
When they’re not plotting to bomb Governor Scott Walker’s press conferences or protesting against him with vulgar signs, they’re comparing him to racist George Wallace.
Madison protesters carry “Walker sucks Koch” signs.
Communist stooge Jesse Jackson was back in Madison, Wisconsin today and compared Governor Scott Walker to racist democrat George Wallace.
The Progressive reported:
Jackson revved up the Madison crowd, which was in a fighting spirit already.
“I congratulate you for your staying power,” he said, “for your commitment to hold on and hold out, and for your focus to stay nonviolent.”
Jackson then made a comparison between the civil rights movement and the current labor struggle in Wisconsin.
“This is the week we went across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma for the right to vote,” he said. “We have gone from Wallace trying to deny us the right to vote to Walker trying to deny workers the right to bargain. We have gone from Wallace to Walker.”
And he pointed out that “Dr. King’s last act on Earth was marching for workers’ rights.”
He added: “When we march, we honor Dr. King. When we march multiculturally and multiracially, we honor Dr. King. When we march nonviolently, we honor Dr. King.”
Jackson criticized Walker and other Republican governors for using
teachers and workers as “scapegoats.”And he asked repeatedly, “Where is the money?”

Why Does Mainstream Media Leave George Soros Alone?
Wisconsin’s battle over the union label continues to resonate nationwide. Lefties complain about conservative funders David and Charles Koch in often obscene fashion, making juvenile plays on their last name and prank calls like troublesome children. The so-called mainstream media are heavily invested in that strategy, calling the Koch brothers some of the “biggest bankrollers” for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
It’s a theme that almost defies reason. The Kochs openly support things they believe in – especially free markets and limited government. To media types, those beliefs are suspect or even audacious. To the left, they’re criminal or anti-American. Both groups claim to question everything.
Everything, that is, except who funds the left. When that gets mentioned, there is either complete silence or cries of conspiracy at the mere mention of the name George Soros. Yet Soros has given billions around the globe for decades to push his own beliefs. His impact on liberal politics here in the U.S. is unparalleled.

When JJ asked “Where is the money?”, he meant his check for the appearance.

George Wallace was the victim of an attempted assassanation which left him paralyzed and in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Is Jesse calling out a contract on Governor Walker?
Tank commented:
Jackson is the kiss of death for the dems and unions in WI. Keep it up Reverend, the more you open your ignorant mouth the better.
Innocentious commented:
I understand the frustration of the government employees in Wisconsin. They feel that they have provided a valuable service to society and should be compensated appropriately. However they are missing the big picture which is that they are dependent on the tax payer to foot their living. Unlike a real business in which workers share in the revenue stream created by the efforts of the company “the fruit of their labors” so to speak. Public sector employees do not create a revenue stream by their very nature, they require a tax revenue stream. Since this is the case the normal reasons for unionization don’t really work. TO be honest I would be hostile toward unions with government employees as well.
Chisum commented:
Gus,
Didn’t you see all those posters at the Tea Party events with bulls eyes drawn over BO’s face?
MrGoodWench commented:
Wallace was a democr@p , right ?
toongoon commented:
#12 yes
MrGoodWench commented:
#13
Then why do they keep bringing him up and reminding us about Robert Byrd ?
Multitude commented:
There must be a translation error. The unions and the Democratic party have been active in disinfranchising voters, particularly through “Card Check” and other efforts to intimidate, coerce and silence opposition with the intent being the elimination of independent voices in the workforce.
I’m sure the public relations agencies for the National Worker’s Party (aka MSM) will get right on this correction.

Public sector employees do not create a revenue stream by their very nature, they require a tax revenue stream.
Not to mention, public sector employees are often doing work that harms the private sector. A double whammy.
toongoon commented:
At that time Jesse Jackson was probably a republican since he was hanging with MLK.
They refuse to acknowledge that byrd was KKK and since socialism is their number one issue now and they only care about racism except as a weapon against republicans and tea partiers.

If anyone can get to the capitol tomorrow to do more of this it would be so great- this guy is fabulous.

Collective bargaining is NOT a right, especially how it is done with public employees union.
