Jesse Jackson: 'It's an Honor to Be a Food Stamp President' By Mike Bates Created 02/26/2012 - 6:36pm

Weeks ago, Jesse Jackson accused GOP presidential candidate of "name calling" for referring to President Barack Obama as the "best food-stamp president in American history." But Saturday morning at his Rainbow PUSH forum, broadcast nationally on the Word Network, Jackson appears to have decided that being characterized that way isn't so bad after all.

As he often does, Jackson directed (video here) the audience to repeat his words of wisdom on the subject:

Say, it's an honor to be a food stamp president. Food stamps feed the hungry. Food stamps save the children. Food stamps help the farmer. Food stamps help the truck driver. Food stamps help the warehouse. Food stamps help the store. Food stamps hire people and feed people. Food stamps save people from starvation and malnutrition. Whenever you attack feeding the hungry, you undermine the moral authority of our faith. Give President Barack Obama a big hand. Show your love. Show your appreciation.

So is what Gingrich called Obama an insult or a plaudit? It's unlikely the mainstream media will ask Jackson the question or if he truly believes it's an honor for a president to oversee the addition of more than 10 million people to the food stamp rolls. The sensitive souls who report our news loathe ever putting the Most Reverend Jackson on the spot.

And children out of wedlock as well..........

[JudgemAll]

Wow, just wow. The denial of the shakedown artist wishing bread lines to the government on the people.

Meet the criminal mind.

[al baby]

I can just see that low life sit down on his big easy chair stick is hand in his pants ala Al Bundy and say I gotz mines f the rest of you n words

[eyedigress]

Same guy who wants to grab Obama by the testicles because Obama took his food stamp throne.

[Northern Yankee]

This guy is so far gone he has no idea what normal is all about. (much less virtue or honor.)

I knew a airline sterwadess, or flight attendant,who happened to be working a flight where Jesse Jackson was on board.

She found him to be the most arrogant, condescending person she had ever met.

enough said.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Poor “reverend” Jesse. “Reverend” Al is rakin’ in all of the race pimping bucks Jesse used to rake in. Jesse has gone from “reverend” to irrelevant.

[Harley]

I wonder if he’s proud of his real niche, Welfare Pimp Race Baiter?

[nascarnation]

where Jesse Jackson was on board.

Obviously in his early days before the fleet of private jets.

[traditional1]

He forgot to mention that Food Stamps buy Crack, and can be traded for cash, in “da Hood”, by the inner-city tribal inhabitants.....

[MuttTheHoople]

This isn’t from The Onion?

[Springman]

Heard him using this line on his radio show this morning. I was just shaking my head.

[machman]

Should read:

Say, it's an honor to be a slave president. The slave master feeds the hungry slave. The slave master save the children slaves. Slavery helps the farmer. Slavery helps the truck driver. Slavery helps the warehouse. Slavery helps the store. Slave masters "hire" people and feed people. The slave master saves people from starvation and malnutrition. Whenever you attack the slave master feeding his hungry slaves, you undermine the moral authority of our faith. Give President Barack Obama a big hand. Show your love. Show your appreciation.

Paychecks feed the hungry. Paychecks save the children. Paychecks help the farmer. Paychecks help the truck driver. Paychecks help the warehouse. Paychecks help the store. Paychecks hire people and feed people. Paychecks save people from starvation and malnutrition.

And it doesn't take any taxpayer money or any bloated government bureaurocracy to make it happen.

[GoldenPup]

Jackson...his words of wisdom...

Now there's an oxymoron for you...or maybe just a regular moron...your choice.

[xp38]

Well I can add that I know someone who worked for a certain bank in Chicago many years ago now that would say similar things in regards to him.

[scrabblehack]

Does that still happen? I’ve heard it’s more difficult with the EBT cards but still possible.

[Graybeard58]

And children out of wedlock as well

When I was a teenager, late 50s, early 60s, occasionally a young girl might become pregnant. When she did, she'd go live with aunt Millie over in another town or preferably another state. There was a sense of shame, too bad that same shame wasn't cast on the boy who got her pregnant too but that's the way it was.

There were a few families in town that got government "commodities", right or wrong, they too were somewhat shamed for it.

We have no shame any more. No sense of pride in taking care of our own.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Crazy buttface.

[TribalPrincess2U]

He lowers himself in public just to further divide the race.

That is his aim in life.

Ain’t working buttface.

[Fightin Whitey]

>>>Ain’t working buttface.<<<

Perfect!

Hahaha!!

Ain’t nothin’ about that boy that’s workin’, and never has been!

[Gene Eric]

>> Say, it’s an honor to be a food stamp president.

This is Communism by another name.

[traditional1]

Cooperating "Hood" grocers and convienience store owners gladly exchange ANY Government voucher, EBT-scans, Food Stamps, etc. for cash, at a discounted rate, and make money on the transactions that way.

Happens all the time.

[Clock King]

These people (Progressives) done lost their damn minds!

[aruanan]

Jesse Jackson: Misery Pimp Extraordinaire. Living larger off racism than any Southern black or white plantation slave owner.

[usconservative]

Wow, just wow. The denial of the shakedown artist wishing bread lines to the government on the people.

There's a reason we here who are stuck in The People's Socialist RepubliK of Illinois call him Jesse Jackass.

[aruanan]

Also Jesse Jerkson.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I remember on Dobie Gillis show, they were going to have the girl get pregnant but decided not to because that would indicate she would have had sex.

Now they can't make shows without as much raunchiness as they can get away with.

In fact I believe all the pretense is gone. We now have 24/7 porn no matter how disguised it is.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Well put my FRiend!

[mrsmel]

Of course he thinks it’s an “honor”, I’m sure a good many of those receiving them have no shame about it, that being the case, he would be “honored” to redistribute the wealth through this avenue all he can.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Sub-Driver.

[denydenydeny]

Two phrases come to mind:

“Defining Deviancy Down” which I think is a Bill Bennett term, and this other one:

“The purpose of the modern Democrat party is to shield people from the consequences of their own bad behavior.”

[denydenydeny]

Food stamps feed the hungry. Food stamps save the children. Food stamps help the farmer. Food stamps help the truck driver. Food stamps help the warehouse. Food stamps help the store. Food stamps hire people and feed people. Food stamps save people from starvation and malnutrition.

Food stamps steal from actual working people. Food stamps punish the productive and reward the indolent. Food stamps are ultimately destructive to society.

[dsrtsage]

“I knew a airline sterwadess, or flight attendant”

The PC term is now flying waitress

[FrankR]

[HiTech RedNeck]

Wouldn’t he rather his peeps have the jobs rather than needing the stamps?

[chiefqc]

Well, well, well I guess the check has cleared the bank and head been deposited into JJ account otherwise there would be nothing heard from this crook.

[Teacher317]

Didn't Pelosi also trot out this moronic idea, that government redistribution of resources somehow actually helps the economy? I think she said it referring to tax refund checks or something. These folk really need to take an Econ 101 course from a professor with a mathematics background (and not a political science background).
