Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, November 20, 2009

At a Congressional Black Caucus event honoring his presidential run 25 years ago, the Rev. Jesse Jackson discussed the health reform debate and said, "You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man." His comment referred to Rep. Artur Davis, a black Democrat from Alabama who voted against the bill.

Jesse Jackson is Racist and loves to profit from any and all hate he can stir up. If tomorrow morning we all woke up and Racism was suddenly over the only bastards crying would be Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton, as their way of making a living would be over

Good work ELCIDE90, Dead Balls Accurate

"You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man."

Ridiculous.

Jesse Jackson's done a lot of good during his life, and he's also produced more than his fair share of screw ups. His 15-minutes expired awhile back; it's time he went cold turkey and swore off podium thumping.

'Hymies.' 'Hymietown.' -- Jesse Jackson's description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail...



Ridiculous.

Scarry, eh?
tvtropes.org

well i certainly agree that JJ is a racist. however, I an not certain he has yet earned number one position

too bad he wasnt in becks studio last week when he had the 70 black conservatives there. there was more than one who called out this ass and his twin brother sharpton.

70 black conservatives

All of them in one room? Impressive.

all from new york area and about half also voted for obama and most of them admitted that this 'change' isnt what they voted for.

seems to be one of the 'obama pools' from 08 that is drying up fast.

That's like stating if your for reparations....

...then you can't call yourself a white man.

Oh well, I guess Jesse has to pay the rent somehow.

"His 15-minutes expired awhile back; it's time he went cold turkey and swore off podium thumping."

He bought himself at least an extra 15 minutes when he made his verbal faux pas last year, helping Obama to look a bit less radical by comparison.

That said, I'm probably no more or less skeptical of this bill than Rep. Davis is. Or Dennis the K for that matter.

Jackson is an opportunist and has been all his life. Kudoes to the guy from Alabama for thinking for himself and not being a "lockstep black."

I would have loved to see that--- maybe I'll have to watch this Beck guy.

He is the most prejudiced person, black or white, I has ever encountered. There is nothing Reverend about him.


Jesse is the one honest person on that side of the aisle. He correctly identified the Obama supporters (when he thought the microphone was off) - called a spade a spade so to speak - and now he goes further. You can't be black if you don't support government handouts. Perhaps because - per capita - the largest group that will benefit from these kinds of government handouts are black. But don't worry. The dems will tell you that Blacks don't vote as a group and they don't blindly follow the leader. And there is some lovely beach front property in Kansas for sale.

It has nothing to do with racism. Voluntary dependence on government handouts is culture. That is why that culture is worthy of rejection.

"He is the most prejudiced person, black or white, I has ever encountered."

You're from a really isolated community, aren't you? Either that or you are from such a homogenous community that racism is never an issue so you can't be certain the degree to which others are racist.

"Voluntary dependence on government handouts is culture."

Please. You do understand that black people pay taxes too, right?


Hagbard...

The person that said "I suppote Obama cuz I ain't goin' haf ta pay mah moegage no mo...I ain't gonna haf to worah 'bout puttin' gas in mah cah no mo" was not white. The people who sat on their collective asses and demanded that New Orleans be rebuilt FOR THEM were largely not white.

Incidentally, you made the claim. How many (by percentage) black people are in that top 2% that pays the majority of the income taxes? How many are in the top 50% of wage earners?

"The person that said "I suppote Obama cuz I ain't goin' haf ta pay mah moegage no mo...I ain't gonna haf to worah 'bout puttin' gas in mah cah no mo" was not white."

Wasn't Jesse Jackson either.

"Incidentally, you made the claim. How many (by percentage) black people are in that top 2% that pays the majority of the income taxes? How many are in the top 50% of wage earners?"

Too many debatable assumptions in that question. Not biting.

All of them in one room? Impressive.

There was a fat blonde doing the interview.

The black caucus say, jobs are priority one, healthcare secondary. Makes sense to me. Otherwise what are we going to do throw everyone in jail who can't afford health insurance?

You can't vote against a REAL public health program and not call yourself a fascist.

This plan is nothing more than a tax scam.

I guess what he is saying, if you are black the country owes you everything.

As usual, you've guessed wrong. But just keep thinking that way. Any change in direction now would probably blow a hole in your noggin.

dok, please tell me what he meant by that comment. You genius, you.

Why, Snoops, thank you.

Since I'm not Jesse Jackson there's no way I can tell you with certitude what he meant when he said something. I can guess, though. It would help if you told me which comment.

True to form dok. You can tell me what he didn't mean but not what he meant.

Did you drop out of that reading comprehension class I gifted you?

Here's what I wrote, Snoops:

How does that translate as "You can tell me what he didn't mean but not what he meant"?

I said I could guess, and I'm happy to do so. But if you won't tell me which statement's got your pantaloons wadded up what am I supposed to do, try and read your mind? (Now, there's a statement that could open up some pretty funny riffs, dontcha think?)

you can not vote for these bill and call your self a thinking human. i am not sure which jessie fits into, non thinking or non human.

Hardly a sooprise. So, then, explain where Jackson's statement supports Sniper's view that "if you are black the country owes you everything."

OK dok, I'll play your silly game. Since you are so void of common sense, here is the statement.

"You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man."

Do we owe the lazy blacks free health care? How socalistic to we have to become to satisfy him? What is he saying dok?


Sniper - "Do we owe the lazy blacks free health care? "

No we don't owe them anything. They simply EXPECT everything. Huge difference.

I agree It's hardly a surprise that you can't see the inconsistency of you own statements.

I was not commenting on that comment I was commenting on his statement "True to form dok. You can tell me what he didn't mean but not what he meant."

Which is exactly what you did with your.

"As usual, you've guessed wrong. But just keep thinking that way. Any change in direction now would probably blow a hole in your noggin."

I don't think reading comprehension classes are your forte Doc.

Jackson is the most racist fucking bastard in the country. He makes Byrd's former associations with the KKK look like Girl Scout camps. He needs to shut his pie hole. He has single handedly extended American racism by decades. As long has he is around spewing his hate people will continue to consider race as a legitimate topic for consideration. If he and Sharpton would shut the fuck up, maybe this country could actually progress.

SNOOPS -

"You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man."

You really believe that means, "[I]f you are black the country owes you everything"?

I've already described Jackson's statement as ridiculous, a descriptor which strikes me as equally applicable to your nonsensical interpretation.

You ask, "Do we owe the lazy blacks free health care?"

The "lazy blacks" statement is fascinating, not least for the insight it appears to offer about the internal corkscrewing that goes on inside your noggin. That aside, do you seriously believe industriousness or lack of it should serve as a standard for determining who gets health care and who doesn't?

Habard -

The question was rhetorical.

However, given Sniper's "lazy blacks" statement, I'm holding the door open just a little.

dok, health care isn't a 'right' just like owning a big screen TV isn't a right.

You have the right to reach into your wallet and take money out to give away but you don't have the right to do it with my money.

The difference between a conservative and a lib is; the conservative will reach into his own wallet and the lib will reach into someone elses wallet. We all know which one you are and which one I am.

LOL, I will be highly disappointed and simultaneously amused if he answers that question honestly.

Hope springs eternal

BULLSHIT it is a fundamental Human right. It is just a calamity that so many Americans don't think so because of the money involved in it. But Yes Health care is a Right NOT a Privilege.

man, a minute late.

OK, he just walked through the door.

And if you don't have the money -- because you're a lazy schlump or because you've been laid off or because the money you do have isn't enough -- what then, Sniper? What then?

Now let's see if Sniper will actually stick around and flesh this thing out or skeedaddle because he's backed himself into a corner.

Health care is not a constitutional right, Larry.

In fact, using federal taxpayer money to fund healthcare is a violation of the constitution. It is perfectly OK to do so at a state level though.

Sniper, when called to explain himself, usually crouches down into fight-flight mode with a default response to skeedaddle.

Since when is a "right" defined as something that the government MUST give us. Government should exist to do those things individuals cannot do independently. It should not exist in order for a few to delegate to the many what they MUST do, when most, if not all, can do it their own damn selves.

Well Doc if that's the case I'm sure you'll be happy to explain how you can say in one comment you know what Mr. Jackson doesn't mean (comment #23) but in another comment you say you don't know what he means(comment #25).

#49 | Posted by TXLIBERTARIAN

I'll try and make it simple for you: In my opinion Sniper's guess about what Jackson meant is wrong; absent further clarification by Jackson himself nobody can say with certainty what Jackson meant (since what he said can hardly be bootstrapped into Sniper's interpretation), and that would, of course, include Sniper.

You didn't check out the reading comprehension link I gave you, did you? You should.

Absent that, I suggest you follow the advice of an occasional visitor to this site:

"...get over yourself asshole.

As for Sniper, he took flight.

What ever did he mean when he wrote:

Could he mean that if you don't have the gelt you should be out of luck if you're hoping for some help from government because that would be reaching into his pocket? Only he knows for sure.

C'mon, Snoops, an inquiring mind wants to know.

Please point me to the clause in the constitution that backs up your stupid statement.

#51 | Posted by Doc_Sarvis

Just exactly what is your fried, pea brain cant understand about what I said. Healthcare is not a right. What is so hard to understand? You and lar need to get together and read the constitution so you can direct me th the clause that says it is.

Jesse Jackson is a blow hard mouthy Black Racist and is not and never has been Reverend, but he is a black Racist, and disliked by most educated people.
David Duke is an angel compared to Jackson, in fact David Duke and George Wallace was much more Reverend than Jesse Jackson will ever be, so all you racist leftwingers out there put that in your sick crack pipes and smoke on it for a while...

Please point me to the clause in the constitution that backs up your stupid statement.

Try the 9th Amendment. Thee are tons of Rights that the people retain that are not enumerated because to try and enumerate them all would be a wasted venture as well as some would be forgotten then people like You would e bellyaching that that specific Right isn't listed. But do carry on anyways Sniper. You are good at that.

Continue to spew Your garbage JeffJ. Article 1 Section 8 proves You absolutely WRONGO. But do carry on with Your delusions that General Welfare = Specific Welfare. The United States Supreme Court disagrees with You in triplicate.

Larry

Speaking of "healthcare reform" the core aspects of the senate bill are the following:

1. For those with insurance, their premiums will rise
2. Medicare will be cut about 500 million.
3. There will be taxes

"Healthcare reform"----NOPE--- I've said it all along; this is not about healthcare reform, it's about taxes.

Worst thing Jackson could do is make it a racial issue.

Just exactly what is your fried, pea brain cant understand about what I said.
#53 | Posted by Sniper

*Sigh*

Oh, well, here it is again, Snoops:

dok, health care isn't a 'right' just like owning a big screen TV isn't a right.

You have the right to reach into your wallet and take money out to give away but you don't have the right to do it with my money.


Which prompted me to ask -- and still ask -- you what happens to someone who just doesn't have the money?

That's the qustion I asked and it's the question you've failed to answer. Yammer all you want about whether health care if a right or not, that's just a strawman when it comes to the matter at hand. Because you've failed to answer my question.

I wonder if that's because you can't or won't. You don't have to be afraid, Snoops?

What happens to people who can't afford health care?


Doc,

The same thing that happens to people that can't afford housing. The same thing that happens to people that can't afford a car. The same thing that happens to people that can't afford food. the same thing that happens to people that can't afford to go on vacation.

Option 1 - a charitable solution
Option 2 - do without.

The problem with your question is no emergency room in the country can legally turn you away because of an inability to pay. (Hence Option 1). Now you want more than that, pay for it yourself or learn to do without.
