Jesse Jackson Rallies Protestors-Is Jesse the New MLK?
 Puhleeeeeeez.
http://www.wkbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=14058089
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - 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."
Gov. Scott Walker's bill would cut costs in part by eliminating collective-bargaining rights.
Jackson likened the protest to anti-government fights in Egypt and Tunisia. He says Wisconsin workers should be allowed at the table to help find a solution.

Predictable
I hear that folks were not showing up to work today in Madison, WI...that's just not fair to the Reverend Jackson...given such circumstances everyone knows that the poor guy was baited.

I Hate this Mother F#@$r and everything he represents. The complete opposite of what makes you successful. Instead of hard work and values. Blame someone else for your problems, then bitch about it.

Not an hijack attempt, but I'm running into a shi'ite storm on Tues at work with a retard who f'd up some stuff in AF. I'm going to quote the above since it mirrors the situation I'm facing.

Jesse's been trying to fill MLK's shoes for many years and has never made it past the smell test. (Except for perhaps his mistress problems)
He's not the new MLK, he's the old JJ, and he still sucks....

JJ is just proof that people see what they want to see, even when facts prove them wrong.
