Figures. Jesse Jackson Compares Scott Walker to George Wallace (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 11:55 AM
Before the historic recall vote yesterday, Jesse Jackson compared Governor Scott Walker to noted racist George Wallace.
Jackson said the recall race was a defining moment in “Civil Rights” history.
What a complete jerk.
The Politico reported:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Tuesday that Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who is facing a historic recall election, is trying to do in Wisconsin what anti-civil rights and segregationist George Wallace tried to do as governor of Alabama.
“Wallace tried to deny the right to vote and Walker’s trying to limit access to voting with the voter ID scheme and the roll purging,” Jackson told POLITICO. “What happened in the south with Wallace as the governor of Alabama, it symbolized the Southern Manifesto: the resistance to voting and the resistance for workers right to organize. … What’s happening in Wisconsin is an attempt to revert to that time.”
Speaking from Milwaukee where he is rallying Democrats to cast their ballots for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, Jackson warned that Walker – who came under fire soon after being sworn into office for passing legislation that got rid of many collective bargaining rights for public employees in his state – shares Wallace’s radical views.
“It is an all-out assault on workers’ right to collective bargaining, attack on voter rights access, attack on the poor. It amounts to tax cuts for the wealthy and job cuts for the workers and more pain for the very poor. That’s what this governor represents,” Jackson said of Walker. “This is a typical southern strategy … Wallace represented the anti-civil rights, anti-social rights, anti-women agenda.”
Shame about last night’s thumping… Huh, Jesse?

It Has Always Been The Soldier
It is the soldier,
not the President who gives US Democracy.
It is the soldier,
not the Congress who takes Care of US.
It is the soldier,
not the Reporter who has given us Freedom of Press.
It is the soldier,
not the Poet who has given us Freedom of Speech.
It is the soldier,
not the campus [community] Organizer who
has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag;
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.

God Bless America!
God Bless Soldiers everywhere for putting THEIR
lives on the line to protect us ALL from terrorism!

Patty commented:
You know, Jackson is a HAS BEEN! What he says has no relevance in Today’s world. These old and tired has beens keep drudging up the past, racist and lynchings in History.
Today is a new day, roll with the punches and stop the racists attacks, it is not becoming.

Hey Jesse, don’t you just wanna cut off his nuts?
Rock commented:
Gee, and here I thought it was a vote to stop the rape of the taxpayer by public unions. No matter, nothing the race baiter Jackson says, will change that.
NoBama2012 commented:
Jesse is pissed that his race hustling business is about bankrupt. Worthless POS.
Finncrisp commented:
Jesse must think this is still the turbulent 60′s or something. We have evolved and he has not. Same old crap , same old song. If this is all they have, we are in good shape for the Fall.
Hey Jesse, Anthony Weiner is available for a diversity tour, just call…
tommy mc donnell commented:
with regard to voting, everything jesse jackson has advocated has been to facilitate voter fruad.
stuart commented:
Oh that Jessie. It seems that every white guy reminds him of George Wallace, or Bull Conner, or Lester Madox. Its almost as if he can’t tell us white folks apart. Honestly Jessie, us white folk do look different from each other.

Yal he is a VICTIM–always a friggin victim. WHitey does this, blame whitey–geez. But he loves those cars,AIDS medicine and planes we invented, those TVs and cameras! Africa has over 3000+ dialects not one single language they can’t even talk to each other! Its never enough-I want I want you owe me you owe me. I am sick sick of ALL these VICTIMS! Shinnita on FOX-what the hell did they hire that racist??? Why would the POOR want high electric BILLS? High GAS? If we opened up more refineries, and drilling there would be so, so many JOBS! Drilling and rigs..parts stores, etc. Can you imagine how many JOBS??? Instead of giving them to Brazil, for our rigs and our planes to be built??? What about Americans???!!! And all those COAL mines-these men that’s all they know and LISA JACKSON, MOURICE Strong (EPA) are shutting down ALL our COAL mines?? Colorado can’t get water? He sends $1M to Odinga for his campaign? He spends money likes its water! Then goes on TV like he is a movie star! I read he didn’t even wait for the planes to fly over during one of his visits. Horrible. When he stands next to Romney he looks like a drug addict KID with no expereince. I can’t believe you cant get a top secret clearance with DEA, or the FBI, for trying pot but he is a noted EX drug user carries our nuke codes. Amazing isn’t it?
RickS commented:
Well one difference, Jesse, is that unlike you and Wallace (and Orval Faubus, and Lester Maddox, and Bull Connor…), Walker isn’t a Democrat.
JimR commented:
It amuses me when these jokers insult the guy who just won the majority vote, so they unwittingly are also insulting the majority of voters.
Befuddled commented:
He’s as hard to understand as Bob Dylan.I personally don’t understand their appeal factor.It is nice that as soon as they lose,they crawl back into their holes.If his message was important,it wouldn’t have been a one day affair,delivered in the midst of his most ardent supporters.
CommieJuice commented:
The bigot loser, Jesse Jackson and his worthless son are more like fellow Dimocrat liberal, George Wallace, than any single Republican in office today. This is the pot calling the kettle black.
BlackBush commented:
Id love to punt Jackson face. Field goal! Guy is a yawn. Go away football face.
Jerry C commented:
Douche Bag.
valerie commented:
Let him talk, and get it all on video. Then play it in Wisconsin during the run-up to the presidential election.
The commercials write themselves: juxtapose Scott Walker’s economic results with Jesse Jackson’s explanation. The tag line can be: “The Democrats are telling you that it is racist to balance the state budget.”

And is it just me – or does Adolf Hitler bear an amazing resemblance to David Axelrod?
