Jesse Jackson's Combative Incivility

Jesse Jackson's Combative Incivilty

“Teach your children well/ Their father’s hell/ Will slowly go by/ And feed them on your dreams”–of demonstrating, marching, and fighting?

Less than a year ago in the wake of the Tucson shootings by a left wing nutcase, President Barack Hussein Obama lectured Americans on the need for more civility in our society. He spoke of “more civility in our public discourse, . . . because only a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to our challenges as a nation.”

Obama soon forgot the import of his own lecture and, if his minions ever received the message, they buried it along with any remnants of civility they ever had.

His commentariat on MSNBC such as Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, and Rachel Maddow never gave up being attack dogs, his congressional idolators like Maxine Waters and other members of the Black Caucus never let up with their vile vituperation. and leaders of his unionist armies like the Teamsters’ Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. spoke of going to war with the Tea Party.

In Obama’s presence on Labor Day, Hoffa pledged to his Beloved Leader, “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these sons of bitches out.”

The president’s reaction? He grinned and glowed–with the utmost civility, of course–and is currently engaged in his markedly uncivil re-election strategy of pitting Americans against one another in class warfare.

Now, former candidate for the Democrat Party’s nomination for president and avid black activist, Jesse Jackson, has joined the uncivil fray by advising young African-Americans not to bother with trying to succeed and to fight, instead.

More precisely, the Reverend Jackson, who was famously caught on tape in July 2008 offering to neuter Obama, (“I wanna cut his nuts out,”) wants black fathers to teach their kids “how to fight.”

Aside from the fact Jackson often speaks very irreverently for a reverend and black fathers aren’t home long enough to teach much of anything, African-Americans already seem extremely adept at fighting.

During his fight speech, delivered at the London headquarters of “Operation Black Vote,” Jackson addressed a representatative of the “Black Fathers Support Group” and preached that education was secondary to demonstrating, marching, and fighting. . .
