Jesse Jackson Says Gov. Brewer ‘Gave President Obama the Finger’

Jesse Jackson Says Gov. Brewer ‘Gave President Obama the Finger’ By Mike Bates Created 01/28/2012 - 9:37pm

It was a routine Saturday morning at Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH forum, broadcast nationally on the Word Network. He was all over the map. Jackson trashed Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney. He warned that enterprises such as black funeral homes and black insurance companies are “under attack.” He condemned a proposed change in Grammy Award classifications. Jackson also spoke out against Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who, he said, “did the ultimate insult. She put her finger in his (President Barack Obama) face.” Jackson wants people to call and complain (video here):

Also, while it’s on my mind, Gov. Janice K. Brewer, the finger person. Gov. Janice K. Brewer, who gave President Obama the finger, governor of Arizona, call 1 800 253 0883. Keep that line real busy. 1 800 253 0883. We’ll give you the number later a little later today and this week on the email number of her press secretary. We want to keep Arizona. . . until she can put her hands in her pocket and have some good. . . do you know how insulting it is to put your finger in somebody’s face? Try it with the cameras rolling, she knew the cameras.

She knew what she was doing. She was telling him off. She was cutting him down to his size. She must never get away with that. Even George Wallace did not put his finger in Dr. King’s face. Say, enough is enough.

Being the pious, innocent, saintly man he is, perhaps the Most Rev. Jackson deserves a pass. Maybe he doesn’t actually know the difference between giving someone the finger and waving one’s finger in another person’s face. But does he really consider the latter to be “the ultimate insult”? For a man who’s referred to Jews as “Hymies,” said in the last campaign that “Barack’s been talking down to black people” and that he would like to cut Obama's testicles out, and admitted to, as a young waiter, having spit into the food of white customers he didn’t like, Jackson has a remarkable notion of what comprises the ultimate insult.

Naturally, Jackson’s blunder will be ignored by the mainstream media. He’s always given a pass. But the very next time “the black view” is needed on a story, he’ll be front and center and ready for his close-up.

American Blacks will rue the day they backed and supported Barack Hussein Obama!!! He has done more damage to setting American Blacks back onto the Slave Plantation of economic slavery!!! Sad, that Blacks keep refusing to take advantage of the American dream of freedom, liberty, equality & oppotunity, and....settle for for the destructive hand of socialism and economic slavery!!! Obama is not one of them, nor is he one of all Americans. As for Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton just consider the source, hatemongers, from head to toe!!!

As an avid student of history, particularly of our Revolution , Civil War, WWII, etc., I have in my home office a good sized custom model of a “Red Tail” Mustang P51 fighter, the famed aircraft of the “Tuskegee” airmen of WWII fame. America, from the Revolution, to the Civil War, to WWII, and......all American wars owes much debt to Black Americans!!! And......remember, although these magnificent Black aviators changed history, so did thousands upon thousands of “ordinary” Black men serve these United States of America patriotically & faithfully in WWII, and yet, they came home to mass prejudice and mjch racial hate after the war!!!

Yet, even with opportunity place at their door by MLK & millions of goodwill folks, they remain aloof & apart from the America of dreams and follow those of their kind that use race as ahate tool, and seek only political power while holding millions of them in economic dependence and slavery, instead of letting they become all they can be as free men and women. This “Racism” must go, and IMHO so should the likes of Barack Hussein Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharton also!!! Freedom is knocking on your door, Black America. Wake up, get with the program, or be left at the train station with the despots and racists that now control you!!!

The problem is “Run Jesses” has been left behind and thinks in nobama’s desperation he will regain some foothold and his place at the table to rake off his rightful portion of the hurricane of gubmint momey swirrling about.

It's time for elderly racists like Jesse to stop spewing hate and retire.

Wait, that's ageist talk!

“I want to cut his nuts out,” Jackson said to his fellow guest during a broadcasting break. “Barack, he is talking down to black people.”

This was quickly swept under the rug by complicit media, an incident long forgotten, never mentioned or recalled.

They lie, YOU buy.

No problem for me either - she exhibited more macho moxie than the average 97 lib “men” could manage in a month and that is what frightens them into the hissy fits.

I guess a finger in the face will be the new racial slur.

Brewer, who, he said, “did the ultimate insult...

Wasn't it Jesse who said on an open TV mic that he would cut Obama's nuts off? As insults go, I would prefer a finger wave over castration.
