| Jesse Jackson: Yes, I am Still a Wacko. Situation Normal. |
| 2004-06-30 |
| EFL, and also for the benefit of those of us with no tolerance for JJ’s insanity Jesse Jackson accused the Republican Party, conservatives and the retailer Wal-Mart of attempting to "push the ideology of the Confederacy" in America. "The ideological right in control of our nation knows what it wants," Jackson said. "The right wing fights for a series of constitutional amendments. They intend to have their ideology protected by law. They intend to push the ideology of the Confederacy and continue to challenge the vision of the Union," Jackson told conference delegates on Monday. "In this competing vision of America, we choose the Union over the Confederacy. We chose a simple but comprehensive plan to make America a more perfect union," Jackson added. On Tuesday, Jackson applied the Confederate label to the Bush administration’s economic policies and to the retail giant Wal-Mart. Jackson called Wal-Mart the "symbol" of the "whole ideological right-wing Confederate movement" at a conference workshop entitled, "The Wal-Mart Factor: Dumbing Down the American Economy." Good ol’ Jesse. Irrelevant AND stupid. |

| #6 I know that the *ahem* ah Reverend *ahem* Jesse *ahem* Jackson is trying to equate Wal-Mart to economic slavery similar to that of the Confederacy, but it is just one of his emotional "reaches." Entertaining, though. Jesse, corporate America has your shake-down gig understood now. The money will be a-drying up. |

| #4 Someone should point out to Jesse which political party Lincoln belonged to -- just to see Jesse's head explode. |

| #3 Same old Jesse, same old tactics. He bashes a company, threatens a boycott, holds a meeting with the company's executives, gets a franchise/concession/contribution/payoff, and suddenly that company is one of the good guys to Jesse. Rinse and repeat. |
