Video: Rep. Joe Walsh tells it like it is on O'Reilly

Folks, this is the kind of view that the majority of conservative Americans want expressed by their political leaders. The truth is controversial and Rep. Joe Walsh speaks it here.

It sure would be nice to hear the Republican nominee talk like this. Why? Because Walsh is right and being right shouldn't be subservient to political cowardice.

Video: New Evidence shows Jesse, Al, and Barack should shut their mouths about Trayvon Martin shooting

It looks like there is shocking new evidence to come out in the Trayvon Martin case and it involves a witness who claims to have seen the entire episode. He was interviewed by the Fox affiliate in Tampa and appears to paint a picture of what happened that is completely different from the narrative being pushed by the typical race-baiters. The fact remains that Martin was unarmed but if the testimony from this witness is accurate, it points to Martin actually attacking Zimmerman.

The meme being pushed by the race-baiters is that Zimmerman was going after Martin while talking to a 911 operator, who told him not to continue. The implication - if you listen to the race baiters - is that Zimmerman kept pursuing Martin while also being the only one of the two with a gun. This witness, who would not go on camera, seems to indicate that Zimmerman listened to the 911 operator and turned back before Martin attacked him.

Again, according to this witness, Zimmerman fits the description of the person who was on the bottom of a scrum between two people and Martin fits the description of the person who was on top, attacking him. The fact remains that Zimmerman was the only person in possession of a gun so if he shot Martin, it may have been a case of excessive deadly force in response to what Martin was doing to him. That could be offset by one possibility. Was Martin going for Zimmerman's gun?

We still don't know the answers to these questions but that doesn't seem to stop the race baiters. Anyway, here is the news report from Fox's Tampa affiliate (h/t Free Republic):

Witness: Martin attacked Zimmerman: MyFoxTAMPABAY.com

We all remember when President Barack Obama was asked about the arrest of his friend and (black) professor, Henry Louis Gates. He jumped to conclusions after admitting he didn't "have all the facts" and said the "police acted stupidly." As those facts came in, we learned that the police acted lawfully and it was our president who acted stupidly by speaking without the facts he admitted he did not have. It led to the face-saving and now infamous White House beer summit. Conclusions were jumped to based almost entirely on race.



Now, after the initial reports of the Trayvon Martin shooting painted the picture of an innocent boy returning home from the store with little more than a bag of skittles, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have already assumed their roles as bomb-throwing race-baiters who love to rub raw the sores of racial discontent. Obama, who either doesn't understand the size of his pulpit or does and loves to misuse it, said that if he had a son, he'd "look just like Trayvon."

Mr. Obama should be careful because he's coming precipitously close to saying that George Zimmerman acted stupidly. Whether he did or didn't, as Obama said prior to being proven wrong in the Henry Louis Gates case, "we don't know all the facts."

One other thing to note here. Zimmerman is Hispanic.

Video: Jesse Jackson says Tenth Amendment is 'Slave Amendment'

There can be no doubt after watching this that Jesse Jackson and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) with whom he joined for a town hall last week, are the racists. He called the Tea Party of today the 'Fort Sumter' Tea Party, not the 'Boston' Tea Party because it's all about protecting what he calls the 'slave amendment.' Yes, apparently, embedded somewhere in the tenth amendment is language that promotes slavery. Also, take note of what Jesse says about the Tea Party wanting to repeal the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, which abolished slavery, granted blacks citizenship, and then the right to vote respectively. Again, Jesse's history is flat-out wrong. Republican-controlled congresses are responsible for the passage of all three of those amendments.

Also, take not of a pathetic metaphor Jackson used. He compared the Tea Party to a group of people on the deck of the Titanic who wanted to destroy the captain while (blacks) are still in the hull. I'm having a tough time with believing that the congressmen and women he was sitting with are anywhere near the hull of any ship.

Jesse is coming precariously close to yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater here. After watching, I encourage you to check out my post immediately prior to this one. There are reports that the Libyan rebels - a group Obama supported and the Tea Party largely rejected - are now rounding up blacks.

Just for grins, here is the tenth amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This must be what Jesse and the CBC see when they read it:

The powers to enforce slavery not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Never thought I'd see it but I think Jesse has reached a new, despicable low.

By the way, at some point, what should we infer by Obama's silence on this increasingly outrageous rhetoric coming from the CBC?

Video: Jesse Jackson says Wisconsin has 'Confederate Agenda'

Jesse Jackson is like those Japanese soldiers after WWII who didn't know the war was over. Jesse is still living and fighting in the 1960's. He's even decided to do so while living in a parallel universe of the 1860's in which the northern state of Wisconsin is secretly wanting to fly the Confederate flag over its capitol.

Then he says the black middle class is 'government-driven.'

VIDEO: DID JESSE JACKSON HAVE A TEA PARTY MOMENT?

Did Jesse Jackson have a 'Tea Party' moment when he said that the government induces poverty? Not really, it was more like him inadvertently saying something truthful without understanding the words coming out of his own mouth. Jesse is just another in a long line of examples of people who do not understand where money comes from - or pretends not to understand. The argument, I guess, is that the U.S. government - currently run by a socialist administration by the way - only takes care of the rich as the poor flounders in poverty.

Uh, I thought the election of Barack Obama was supposed to change all of that, Jesse. Here he is at the October 2nd 'One Nation' rally which featured a slew of commies, marxists, and socialists in attendance. Take note of how sycophantic the woman is with Jesse. She just wants to say something that he'll agree with and in so doing, champions socialism herself.

When will people finally see this guy for the pimp he is?

JESSE JACKSON USING LEBRON JAMES TO DISTRACT FROM JESSE JR.?

Until Jesse Jackson inserted himself into the LeBron James story I intentionally stayed away from it because in light of all that's going on in the world - and in this country - lately, it's about as consequential as a fly problem in someone else's yard. It's sophomoric, ponderous, and insipid compared to something like, I don't know, the corruption trial of Rod Blagojevich? Perhaps not so coincidentally, Jesse's son, Jesse Jackson Jr. has probably been implicated more than anyone else at that very trial in recent days - it has become painfully obvious that Jr.'s attempt to denounce "pay to play politics" was a big fat lie based on the recorded phone conversations played thus far.

It's almost as if a distraction was needed. Is the elder Jesse running interference for his son by publicly saying that Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has a "slave master mentality" with respect to James, who Jackson says Gilbert views as a "runaway slave". Eugene Kane at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel sees Jackson's assertion as ill-advised:

Raising his voice in support of James by evoking slavery seems like a foolish move.

James has been paid millions in salary and endorsements since joining the NBA seven years ago. During his free agent excursion, he had the owners of several professional teams courting him for his services.

Sorry, Jesse; this guy is no slave.

If Jackson was truly concerned about racism, why isn't he speaking out against Rod Blagojevich, who is heard countless times on recorded phone conversations, played at his corruption trial, referring to Jesse Jackson Jr. as an "uber African-American"? The answer to that one is rather obvious if you've been following the trial. Jesse Jackson Jr., despite his indignant and adamant declarations to the contrary shortly after Blagojevich's arrest on December 9th, 2008 is revealed in recorded phone conversations to have offered money to Blagojevich in return for being appointed to Barack Obama's then soon-to-be vacant Senate seat.

The timing of Jackson Sr.'s ludicrous claims is indeed curious. Even more ludicrous are his comments during an appearance on the Ed Schultz program. Listen as Jesse tells Ed that if Gilbert's claim that James often "quit" during games is a serious charge and would amount to a "scandal". The real scandal is going on in a Chicago courtroom and Jesse Jackson Jr. is in the middle of it. Then Jesse Sr. lectures Ed's audience about integrity and cheating before wrapping up with a reference to child rearing.

Jesse Sr. is 3 for 3 on that one - scandal, integrity, and offspring. He just has the wrong controversy and it's by design.

VIDEO: CONTESSA INTRODUCES JESSE JACKSON AS AL SHARPTON

Jesse was obviously irritated at being introduced as Al Sharpton but why? Was it because he assumed Contessa thought, "they all look alike" or did he take it as a personal affront to his ego? My guess is it's a strong dose of both.

Funny nonetheless. Take note of the panic in Contessa's voice as she apologizes to Reverend Sharpton, er I mean Jackson.
