Reverend Jackson Doesn't Know Who The WI Protesters Are

Well, he might know who the protesters are - unemployed people who can therefore spend 3 weeks living in the Wisconsin capitol with no problem, with food money probably given them by Democrats - but what are these people protesting?

Public sector unions - people who still have jobs, and who are only losing their outrageous union benefits!

Rush shared some soundbytes from Jackson today.

JACKSON: These are not so much angry Democrats as they are hurt and desperate. These are workers here who have lost their jobs. Their homes are in foreclosure.

RUSH: No.

JACKSON: They can't pay student loan debt.

I'm thinking the reason they can't pay their student loan debt is because instead of getting degrees in things like finance or engineering, where they could get jobs that could pay lots of money, they got degrees in social work or art, which don't pay diddly squat. Whose fault is that?

And is Jackson making a veiled threat about riots?

JACKSON: They're fighting back the most basic of democratic rights. So they're gonna escalate these protests. You're either gonna have collective bargaining through a vehicle called collective bargaining or you gonna have it through the streets, where people here are gonna fight back because they think their cause is moral, and they have no place else to go.

I don't think teachers in Wisconsin will riot. Perhaps the unemployed masses who are paid to do so, will riot.

JACKSON: These maneuvers inciting more anger and more pain and more fear. I hope people govern by the deliberation and reconciliation and not by ram-rodding politics. It's gonna create a rebellion. So mass revolt and recall! You see children leaving school because they feel hurt and with the K through 12 cut, teachers revolting because they feel that jobs are being lost, home foreclosures with no place to go. Too few got too much! Too many are getting poorer and the middle class is sinkin'! People here need a better deal. When you take away collective bargaining, you take away content. That's why you can get away with cuts for education and you can, uhhh, try to change the standards for Medicare and K-through-12 education. You must resolve the situation with some shared pain.

How about resolving the situation by earning your own wealth, gained by getting a good education and embracing middle-classness?
