Jesse Jackson: Racist

One of the wonderful things about living in a Marxist world, as so many Democrats do, is the casual way that officially vetted "minorities," "oppressed peoples," and, of course, hardcore Democrats are allowed to get away with stuff that would get the rest of us banned from society for life.

A few entries ago, we discussed the strange case of Congressman Moran (D-VA), whose near-constant stream of anti-Semetic invective over the years makes poor Senator Craig's shoe touching set-up seem positively amateurish. But Craig is a Republican, so he'll be out of the Senate shortly. Meanwhile, Jim Moran is, as we've indicated, a Democrat. Thus, while the media keeps harping on the evil of Craig (who—like all Republicans, the Duke University soccer players, and Cut & Run Congressman John Murtha's (D-PA) U.S. Marines—is guilty until proven innocent) , we have yet to see a denunciation of Moran's shameful tirade appear anywhere else except Colby King's column in last Saturday's Washington Post. Which apparently, even the Post's editors haven't bothered to read.

You'd think we'd all had enough of this kind of Democrat-centric hypocrisy lately. But just when you thought it was safe to go outside, America's Extortionist-in-Chief, Jesse Jackson, felt the need for some face time with the media:

Jesse Jackson reportedly ripped presidential candidate Barack Obama for "acting like he's white," according to The State newspaper in South Carolina, but the civil rights leader says he doesn't recall making any such comment.

Just like he didn't say anything about "Hymietown" a number of years back? The Democrat credo is, "When caught red-handed, lie."

Jackson, who endorsed Obama for president in March, reportedly blasted the Illinois senator for failing to bring attention to the case of six black kids arrested on attempted murder charges in Jena, La.

He later told the newspaper that he did not remember making the remark, but State reporter Roddie Burris told FOX News that Jackson's "acting like he's white" comment came during a 45-minute, one-on-one interview Tuesday after an hour-long speech at Benedict College in Columbia, S.C. Burris said he stands by his report.

There you go.

This will blow over in a day or two. Or less. Why? Not only is Jesse Jackson a member of the minority community. He's also a Democrat. Remember how that works? Meanwhile, remember how Republican Trent Lott's silly, well-meant but gauche birthday salute to the tottering Strom Thurmond got him ejected from the Senate leadership in a matter of days? Oddly, the Republicans themselves piled on here, instinctively flinching away from the inevitable, left-wing MSM attacks that followed, fearing the worst. (And we are witnessing a reprise of this with the exiling of Senator Craig, mentioned above.) So afraid have the Republicans become of selective left-wing media hysteria that they'll cut and run on their own again and again, helping assure that the Democrats' planned 2008 power grab becomes easier by the day.

Jesse Jackson, by his many obnoxious ethnic slurs over the years, has proven himself beyond any reasonable doubt to be an anti-Semite and a racist. Paradoxically, however, the Democrats' socialist dialectic assures us that, since he is deemed to be an "authentic" minority, he therefore cannot be an anti-Semite or a racist.

Do you ever wonder where a white dude would be right now if someone caught him telling Barack Obama that he was "acting white"? Of course you don't.

UPDATE: Hey, wait a minute I ACT WHITE ALL THE TIME. Forget it, Barack. It's okay.
