Criticism of President Dangerous, Says Jackson
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 4 Feb 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 02/07/2012 9:36:55 AM PST by John Semmens

Former presidential candidate Reverend Jesse Jackson averred that criticism of President Obama has gotten dangerously out of hand.

“The constant barrage of right-wing criticism leveled at the president by his enemies has reached unacceptably perilous magnitude,” Jackson insisted. “When a governor is allowed to point her finger at him or a member of Congress is permitted to get away with calling him a liar we must acknowledge that rhetoric has gone too far.”

Jackson cited history to bolster his concern. “President John Kennedy was vilified by right-wingers,” Jackson asserted. “This created an atmosphere conducive to violence. The next we knew, he was shot and killed. We must do what we can to eliminate today’s attacks on President Obama before the same thing happens to him.”

The role that any so-called right-wing criticism of Kennedy’s policies might have played in his assassination is unclear. Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot Kennedy, was a communist sympathizer whose grievance against the President appeared related to Kennedy’s opposition to Cuba’s communist regime.

“The constant barrage of right-wing criticism leveled at the president by his enemies has reached unacceptably perilous magnitude,” Jackson insisted.
“When a governor is allowed to point her finger at him or a member of Congress is permitted to get away with calling him a liar we must acknowledge that rhetoric has gone too far.”
When a governor has to point her finger at a president who flies into her state to bully her, things have gone too far. When bishops have to order priests to announce from the pulpit that a church cannot obey an unconstitutional law, things have gone way, way too far.

The First Amendment, and the entire Bill of Rights, was added to the Constitution despite the understanding of the framers that those rights were already protected in the basic document. And despite fears that any explicit Bill of Rights would be treated as a ceiling, rather than a floor, on the rights of the people.

And here we have a government presuming to order a church to violate its principles, just because.

Obama should have his balls disenfranchised. Of course, the qualifying factor is does he have balls. There are some reports he maybe lacking same.

Yes, calling Bush a baby killer was not inflammatory or anything.

What Jesse needs to understand is that we don’t have a king in the USA. The president is elected by the folks. He works for us. We have every right to criticize him and the Governor of a sovereign state certainly doesn’t have to stand like a schoolgirl and take a verbal spanking. This guy is beyond arrogant. Respect works two ways.

Why couldn’t James Earl Ray’s round have Popped Jesse “Jackass” Jackson instead of Dr King!?

Have you ever seen the pictures of Jesse at the scene with blood on his shirt?

He put it there. He was no where near Rev. King at the time of the shooting.
