Jesse Jackson Says Tea Party Wants To Sink Ship To ‘Destroy Captain’

DETROIT (CBS 62) Rev. Jesse Jackson stopped by the Michigan Matters set to talk with host Carol Cain about developments in the Trayvon Martin murder case and the emergency manager saga playing out in Detroit.

Jackson also offered a frank assessment of Gov. Rick Snyder’s dealings with the Motor City financial crisis. “You can’t separate the largest organ in your body from who you are,” he said about the state’s relationship with the city. “Detroit doesn’t have a problem, Michigan has a problem. Why is Detroit in crisis? We bailed out the automotive industry but the city has not been able to be part of that.”

Jackson fought against the proposed consent agreement between the state and Detroit, saying “I cannot fathom suspending our democracy in the name of emergency…There should be a bigger table for an emergency summit meeting.”

And he took on the issue of the Detroit minister Malik Shabazz who told everyone at the recent emergency manager meeting residents would “burn the city down” before giving it over to an outside group for financial oversight.

“If the man said that on the council … I would take it more seriously… I can understand expressing pain. That should not characterize the mood of Detroit… They want Detroit to come alive and I think we should focus on that.”

Thanks Free ThinkerNY.

And he took on the issue of the Detroit minister Malik Shabazz who told everyone at the recent emergency manager meeting residents would "burn the city down" before giving it over to an outside group for financial oversight.

And by "took on" the partisan media shill pushing this swill means, sidestepped it by saying it wasn't important.

Sink the ship - - let all the RATS drown.

I saw him on the local news tonight and he was sitting at the table with the Detroit City Council. My first thought what is race-pimp#1 doing in Detroit. What the hell business is it of his? More face time on TV?

" We bailed out the automotive industry but the city has not been able to be part of that.”

It sure as heck wasn't the Tea Party that ever suggested that bailing out GM and Chrysler would do any good

“I think we should focus on that...”

Sorry, Jesse. We’re going to keep focusing on NO_LIMIT_NI##A senior. You can bet on it.

''There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,''than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery -- and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.''

Jesse and his community organizing pals did for Detroit what they want to do for America. I hope fail.

Detroit’s in crisis because Detroit put themselves there by elected bad people.
