OT This is how it works.

LOL. OK, OK I'm listening.

If it were Jerry Falwell coming to
Florida to lead a demonstration, you wouldn't hear "he's
wanting/going to incite a riot". Or, "he should get a job".
Do you know what I'm saying?


Oh yeah. I hear 'ya loud and clear and I've heard it all before. No, you wouldn't hear those kind of things said about Falwell, but you'd surely hear demeaning rhetoric from the Left about the "mean spirited" religious right and other well-rehearsed inanities. And Jerry Falwell lead a demonstration? It's not his schtick anymore. Even if he did, no one would pay any attention. Compare that to Jesse who seems to end up wherever conflict (and TV cameras) abound. So, what is the Rev. Jesse "When's-the-last-time-you-heard-me-talk-about-God" Jackson's occupation, anyway?

I don't think Jackson was trying to "incite a riot"; he was just trying to get in front of the issue (and the cameras) like he always does. To label someone a racist that thinks and voices an opinion that Jesse was trying to ignite riotous behavior is clearly a knee-jerk reaction, and typical of the Left.
