JESSE “THE EXTORTIONIST” JACKSON, AT IT AGAIN…

In what is nothing but another bit of proof that this group of parasites calling themselves Occupy Wall Street has nothing whatsoever in common with the Tea Party, is the fact that Jesse “The Extortionist” Jackson has now seen fit to join the ranks of their supporters. Faux reverend Jackson, someone always in search of a stray television camera or microphone to stick his fat face in front of, has now officially joined the Occupy Atlanta protests this week. The old race-baiter even went so far as to liken the ongoing demonstrations to, of all things, the civil rights movement. Speaking to protesters in some homeless shelter Thursday, Jesse said the demonstrations that have spread across the country are an extension of the movement he, himself, helped to lead. “Do not let difficult times break your spirits,” Jackson said. “In all things, keep your eyes on the prize. Renew your faith, keep your hope alive and victory is assured.” He droned on saying, “Only when the foundation shakes does everybody make an adjustment.” “The people are saying we need economic justice, we need shared economic security. We are free but not equal.” On Friday, Jackson was among a group of protesters that took over the lobby of SunTrust Plaza in downtown Atlanta for about an hour. According to the Associated Press, the group sang protest songs during the takeover.



That same day, Occupy Atlanta filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming it was arbitrary and unconstitutional for Mayor Kasim Reed to rescind his executive order allowing protesters to stay beyond Woodruff Park’s 11 p.m. closing time. Reed revoked the order in late October, resulting in more than 50 arrests when demonstrators wouldn’t leave at closing time, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The group of malcontents plans to reoccupy the park Saturday. As has been reported the group has denied the allegation that it had sought assistance from the Nation of Islam, led by “Calypso Louie” Farrakhan, to aid in their efforts. “We have not asked the Nation of Islam to provide protection for us,” Tim Franzen, a spokesman for the group, told the Journal-Constitution. “If they show up it’s because they chose to be there, not because we invited them.” Right, if you believe that I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona I can sell you. This guy, Franzen, said Occupy Atlanta is not affiliated with any outside groups, though he sounded a bit little less convincing the second time around than he had in his previous denials. But knowing, as we already do, most of the characters and organizations that are said to be “supporting” these slimy miscreants, it would definitely not come as much of surprise if it were to be found that Louie is somehow supporting this group.
