Jesse Jackson Claims GOP Demonizing Rhetoric Will Cause Obama Assassination

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

On MSNBC's Martin Bashir Show Jesse Jackson claimed Governor Brewer's finger pointing and Congressman West's comments leads to enraging masses against the President. Jackson then speculates that these masses will turn violent and lead to the assignation of President Obama.

"Well, ignorance and hatred and violence is in a certain pattern. John Kennedy was demonized. He's the guy who imposed himself on the south. He intervened. It's called an interposition. In the end this demon was shot. They demonized Dr. King talking about the war of Vietnam, out of his capacity with disrupting things and Hoover calling him a damn liar."

No Jesse, It's people like you thats been pushing that for over three years you nimrod, Did I just say something RACIST!

CheesecakeLarry   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:52 am

Um, where is the hell were you Rev., when they were Bashing Bush?

Hypocritical bullcrap!

No-one is going to kill Obama. Stop fear mongering!

syvyn11   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:53 am

WOW! Jesse is dredging the bottom of the barrel to stay relevant.

And this tripe was on Bashir's show? Does that man have any journalistic integrity?

charlie2037   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:59 am

WOW !! just a few years back old Jesse wanted to cut Obamas gonads off ! Wonder what changed his mind ?

Bearmaul   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:00 am

Yo Jesse, Assassinations in this country have always been executed by deranged leftists, get with the program and pick up a history book.

DavidFord   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:04 am

Time to start calling these people what they are. Enemies of the United States of America.

OldmanRick   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:07 am

Jessie jackson, shake down artist, and Martin Bashir, mental midget – two nuts from the same shell. Will JJ be questioned by the Secret Service for his insinuating the assassination of the toddler?

Typical Bashir socialist prattle when a sentence is taken out of context. Following is Allen's entire speech.

Talk about finger pointing.

WhiteGuy2   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:07 am

This from the guy who said he wanted to cut Obamas nuts off. Unbelievable.

syvyn11   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:08 am

right now it's the fever swamp's left greatest hope. To have someone take a shot at Obama (MAY IT NEVER HAPPEN. MAY THE LORD PROTECT OUR PRESIDENT, even though he's a total tool) to garner sympthay for him.

Then, even if the alleged shooter has no political bent, they can blame conservatives and the Tea Party for it.

Hell, it already happened a few weeks ago. Remember that nut that shot at the white house? They were saying the nut was a 'tea party' agent even though he spent weeks at "Occupy DC".

MrWTF   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:11 am

I have a question Jesse. How much black on white crime has been instigated by blacks taking to
heart your message of mythical black victimhood and white privilege?

Your message of hopelessness only enriches you and your family.

syvyn11   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:12 am

He knows this is socialisms last hope. He sees it failing. He wants to generate more 'white guilt' to get Obama back into the white house.

That worked on me when I was 19 (not to mention that I was 'enticed' by a lovely lass to vote for Jackson in the 88 Ky Primary). 24 years later, I'm older, wiser (just don't ask my mom that), smarter and able to see through Jackson's bullcrap.

syvyn11   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:13 am

That's the thing with Liberalism. History is whatever you want it to be.

Rosewould   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:15 am

This is how they try to stop dissent. They think they can say anything they want but if you say anything critical to them, then it's dangerous .
When they say we need to tone down the hateful and hurtful speech, it's just us not them. Did you hear any of them renounce James Hoffas " This is War" "We need to take them out" introduction to the president? What this really means is that our words are having an effect. And they know it. You know you're over the target when you're getting flak !!!

OldmanRick   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:16 am

Thinks for the reminder regarding JJ and his comment about the toddler. Kudos.

dude911   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:19 am

shoot…its not like we would be losing anything important…biden could not do worse, could he?

DrEdu   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:25 am

This is pathetic!
We do not like Obama and his failed policies.
We do not like this1000-excuses-President.
We do not like Obama because he uses class warfare tactics to divide US.
OBAMA IS A LIAR and the PRESS covers for him.

BUT

None of US (not me and not any of my Friends, Family and/or Co-workers) wish harm on the President. We want him OUT and we will get him OUT of the Whitehouse…but through the American Way which is through an election (or an impeachment process, which-ever-comes first).

Mr. Jackson has ZERO credibility and his CRAZY opinions mean NOTHING.

May God Bless the President and the First Lady…May He keep them safe …and lead them OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE soon!

WIllyBrown   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:38 am

When will this racist pig rent a reverend Jackarse be investigated by the AG and when will DNCNBC fired this British speaking American hater?

SquidVicious   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:42 am

Well of course this is all being said from "Bashir's Soapbox".

Thank God, and I do mean Thank God, that POTUS cannot select you as security chief like the Most Right Reverend had to settle on back in Memphis, April 4, 1968.

You're a despicable Race Baiter.

SunCrackedSoul   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:47 am

Well if commies and other assorted democraps weren't so violent and immoral ol jesse wouldn't have to worry about it.

Skepticalsince08   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:57 am

This threat by Jackson quit working about 2 decades ago.

AMEN!

syvyn11   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:05 am

By Holder? About the same time Halle Berry dates ME!

Look at my facebook profile pic. I'm not her type!

As for Bashir, at least his act is good for a laugh.

MARYP912   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:06 am

You know Mr. Jackson, I find it ironic and very odd, that in both instances, the Kennedy assasination and Martin Luther King assasination that you sir, tried to inject yourself as a major player, with both men. Funny, you were spewing the same rhetoric back then about them. And now, here again, going as far as being caught on an open microphone stating that you'd like to have Obama's balls in a vice grip….(sounds like a threat)…..should give cause for pause! Trust me little man…if something were to happen to President Obama, just from the vile rhetoric that comes out of your mouth, the sicko inuendos that you make (where there's smoke, there's fire)……………. I believe, self-annointed Rev. Jackson, you'd be the first person I'd be looking at. You're nothing but a carpetbagger….and everybody knows it!

Roger   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:06 am

Remember when they blamed the right for the Giffords shooting?

It's always us, and it's always swept under the rug when the facts don't support the rhetoric.

Roger   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:07 am

Who do you speak for? The democrats that see their power in jeopardy due to obama's incompetence?

syvyn11   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:07 am

Remember, this is the man who wiped MLK's blood on his shirt and went on 'Today'.

Jesse is a opportunist, and those opportunities are appearing less and less.

CharlieSays   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:09 am

The LAST thing we need is the assassination of Obama. Do you really want Obama the martyr, or a Federal holiday on his birthday?

Think.

KusoJiJi   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:09 am

A mind is a terrible thing to waste!

Roger   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:10 am

If the tea party type do anything to Obama it will be to kill his political career. Not him, just his ability to destroy any more of our country.

The left doesn't understand something. We don't care what they do as long as they don't drag us into it. Obama crosses that line so many times the only way for us to survive is to knee cap his next election. Facts, freedom and a love of country can do that, not a gun.

LuKuj   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:33 am

Exactly1 He wasn't in the least worried about Bush. Besides, with Biden as VP, who wants to put him in office?

god, you are so damn dumb, stupid and irrelevent. you are drowning and searching for air. just shut up and go away!

SubVert Progress   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:56 am

the only problem with Jacksons assesment is, TYRANTS are rarely assassinated. Jackson is ASININE

TANSTAAFL   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:02 am

Kennedy ws assainated by a communist.

King was murdered by a Democrat.

You were saying, Jesse?

TANSTAAFL   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:03 am

No.

TANSTAAFL   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:04 am

Go back to Democrat Underground, punk.

WorldclaZZ   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:06 am

The only political violence going on is orchestrated and supported by the White House.
It is coming from the Occupy _________ nutballs.
Anyways, if members of a particular race can't stand political heat, get out of the kitchen.

EricArthurBlair   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:08 am

Democrats get more stupid by the day, as impossible as that may seem.

MrNewCastrati   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:08 am

Stable people don't assassinate politicians, "Reverend". It's your ilk that perform that dirty deed.

EricArthurBlair   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:12 am

Let's hope not. You think Romney and congressional Republicans would be able to repeal Maobamacare with all leftwing fascists in the Democrat party and in the media whining about how "insensitive" it is to repeal the great Martyr's signature "achievement?" Or any of his other socialist garbage, for that matter?

Heck, even reducing the multi-trillion dollar annual deficit would be considered a slap in his face.

Corchem   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:15 am

Besides what you say, we all know the next man in line is Joe Biden, With good ole Joe standing in line, Obama is no doubt safe from harm !

My disdain for Biden being equal to or greater than my disdain for Obama shows what a racist I am ???

sunflowers   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:23 am

Jesse was too late for gonad cutting. Michelle already did that.

jleinf   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:35 am

You mean like that waked out Obot Adam Cox who said he was gonna put 1000 bullet holes in Sheriff Arpiao's body because Sheriff Joe is doing what he's suppose to do- uphold the law? The Kenyan and the liars covering for him are going down.

And wouldn't you love that. You already had King killed so what's another 'martyr' but a chance to get back at whitey.

Patriot1212   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:56 am

The Race Baiting Czar of America speaks on the National Barack Channel (MSNBC) Gee seems like a repeat story. Is this the only story that pathetic channel can come up with?

Obamaisatraitor   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:10 am

Sadly people like this are only relevant as useful tools of the media. America has had 100 years of progressives culminating in the last six years of Democrat control of Congress and the White House. We've had it. They will never quit. The battle is about money and power. The only way to take back the country is at the local level, voter registration and voting where the fraud takes place. We've been asleep but now we are awake. As long as we have elections we must defend against evil, intent on dividing America against itself and violating God's laws. I think there are more America-loving citizens than race baiting, attention starved media. They BEG to get a rise out of the silent majority: We'll see you at the polls.

If Bashir shot the president, it would get blamed on the Tea Party. somehow, some way.

F_This   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:21 am

I would rather see him in Gitmo for life.

nomname   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:22 am

Everyone hated Carter. He is still running around grinning and drooling and making stupid remarks. Even got a Nobel Prize for his incompetence. If anyone kills Obama, it will be because Soros and his crowd have decided that he would be more useful as a martyr than as a statesman.

WatchTheGoons   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:27 am

So if we critisize Obama we are RACISTS and we are asking for his ASSASSINATION?

owleyes   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:33 am

He wanted him castrated then. He wants him dead now, pure and simple. Nothing would please the left more for this disaster of a president to be transformed into a "martyr." If it were possible, I'd say we need to assemble a militia of CCW citizens to protect him and his family. Wouldn't that be ironic? I am saying this in all seriousness, though. I truly believe he may be marked for destruction by his puppet masters once it is manifest that he can be of no further use to them alive.

PushHereToFlush   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:44 am

Jesse Jackson has been praying that Obama gets as assinated by a white man so he can get another 40 years of racial divide to pimp out of it.

Rubicon   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:45 am

Is Jesse Jackson even still alive? I thought he went out with the trash a long time ago.

PushHereToFlush   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:46 am

Jesse Jackson is hoping to recreate the MLK as assination, the best thing that ever happened to Jesse Jackson.

Wesley69   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:47 am

Once again, the rhetoric of the Conservatives must not be allowed because some crazy fool will try to kill the President. So the Republicans have to play with one hand tied behind their back?? They do that to themselves anyway. I forgot, this is coming from the shake-down artist himself. Must'nt be in the news enough.

NotKennedy   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:51 am

"and lead to the assignation of President Obama"?
: an appointment of time and place for a meeting; especially: tryst <returned from an assignation with his mistress — W. B. Yeats>

So, Jesse… tell us about that assignation with Larry Sinclair? And, who yo' baby's daddy? Hmmm, doesn't look like John Edwards. Hmm, who could it be?

DanielShays   February 2nd, 2012 - 5:54 am

Well based on the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King he should be watching Marxists, Palestinians and Democrats

bluecollarbytes   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:02 am

Since Jesse Jackson is speculating here, i speculate that Jackson secretly wants obama to be killed, as he prefers martyrs to competitors.

Deusexmachina   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:02 am

Now, don't give George Soros any ideas….

hezaAZsmitty   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:03 am

So, history being what it is Jesse………………….all the upstanding Democrats, Lester Maddox, George Wallace,Senator Robert Byrd, Senator Fulbright, "Bull" Conner was responcible for the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, and your fellow wanna be Rev. Al Sharpton ginned-up much hate toward the whites and jews that deaths occured. You really want to go down that road?

Dumbest Jackass in America.

Sister_Mary   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:23 am

This from a man who in my mind had something to do with Dr. Kings death … If King were alive Jesse J would be calling him a Uncle Tom for sure !! King would not give this man the time of day .. this is why dr. King had to be stopped .. to keep Blacks in thier place ..we can't ahve them voting Republician now could we…. Right Jesse ?

Mrs.Tank   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:24 am

No jesse, If anything causes his assassination it will be the fact that he has outlived his usefulness by his puppet masters, THAT is when it will happen.

Narcissist Extremist   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:25 am

Yes, self assanination. Like the prisoner swallowing his tongue in the cell next to Hannibal Lecter. Obama has the shallow enough mentality to be swayed into anything, as long as it sounds socialistic.

OzarksAbe   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:25 am

I don't even know why we bother to acknowledge Jackson even exists, it's always the same tripe. He hasn't been relevant for decades and if the main stream media would quit giving him a sounding board he would have to get a real job.

Sister_Mary   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:26 am

Jesse needed King stopped .. too many Blacks were starting to think for themselves and we can't have blacks voting Republician now can we …. Jesse is not heading North when he meets his maker … That's for sure !

Mrs.Tank   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:27 am

Oh and just remember, dems don't predict chaos they CREATE it, when it suits their needs and when it benefits them to do so.

MardyPantz   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:50 am

Eric Holder's DOJ harasses the crap out of people for making such little, unintended remarks.

Just think, if Martin Luther King hadn't been assassinated, he would be remembered as just another agitator like Jesse Jackson. Martyrs have super human qualities heaped upon them and nobody can speak poorly of them after everyone is conditioned to think of them as gods. We would forever regret if Obama became a martyr.

MARYP912   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:51 am

JESSE JACKSON = LEECH

JoeTulsa   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:53 am

It is the Democrats and President Obama who are stirring the pot, pitting citizen against citizen, engaging in class warfare. The conservatives want a return to the constitution, equality of opportunity, not outcome. When the government gets too big and picks winners and losers, it creates strife and division. That's what Obama is doing. Regarding assasinations:
Kennedy: was killed by an avowed communist and left-wing nut
MLK: was killed by a crazed KKK type (the KKK was nearly entirely southern Democrats)
Lincoln: was killed by a crazed Democrat.

Jesse: assasinations are done by lefties, not conservatives; read your history.

starshinepuppy   February 2nd, 2012 - 6:54 am

That argument was made to me by my Representative when I questioned why 'lil barry was not being arresteed and impeached. It was deflection at it's worst. Biden would be better and so would the lint in my dryer.

Commieobamie   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:11 am

EXCELLENT!

realist431   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:14 am

Jesse Jackson is saying what he wants to happen. He doesn't like the fact that race relations in America are way better than they were in the 1960's. He doesn't like the fact that he cannot extort money from large corporations like he used to. His business of stirring up racial tension and then extorting payments is not as profitable as it used to be. He won't accept the fact that America has moved beyond race with the election of Barack Obama. And he does not accept that the first Black President is an abject failure. We don't need people like Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson is part of the problem.

Syrin23   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:18 am

INFLAMMATORY !!!!!

Sounds like he's planning something. Ovbamugabe should have him indefinitely detained in Gitmo. After all, we no longer have due process or even have to be told what we're charged with. TOSS HIM IN GITMO !!!

Keltic1   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:19 am

Not very likely. We would be stuck with the Royal Court Jester, Biden.

PJ3usa   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:21 am

since Jesse wanted to commit violence on him by cutting off parts of him… then I guess Jesse is just telling the world what his plans are for Obama.

PJ3usa   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:22 am

The last thing any conservative would want is this to happen. Because the liberals would elevate him to sainthood and forever worship him.

maladroit   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:23 am

Jackson's been brain dead for years. The King of the Shakedown is now irrelevant.

smoke ranch   February 2nd, 2012 - 7:25 am

And this is after the liberals in Hollyweird made movies wanting to kill George Bush. Hey Jesse go take care of your "love child" you hyporcite.
