Jesse needs a muzzle
- URKiddinMee
  
  Jesse needs a high colonic enema . . . preferably with a FIRE HOSE!
  - Jim
    
    Using his ears as an entry point
    - URKiddinMee
      
      Good idea, Jim. Since he has been using chit for brains these many years, an enema administered via his ears would have the most beneficial cleansing effect! LOL

        Wouldn’t help, his head is empty!

    Has his son been thrown in jail yet??? How many illegitimate kids does he have now?? Is he a real preacher?

  THAT’S HIS JOB ,STIR THE POT.
  - Dr Williams
    
    His son, the now Ex-Senator, is going to JAIL…they are all Criminals, and Old Jesse here has caused more people to be killed by his big mouth than any AR15 and should be the held accountable for his actions (A 50 years prison term)!

Race pimps should be held responsible for inner city violence.
- Rattlerjake
  
  Now you know why the democrat party’s symbol is a jackazz.
- Rob Ca
  
  Very true.
gdoggerz

Yeah…because no one is responsible for their actions anymore. It’s the gun’s fault it’s the alcohol’s fault, it is Meth’s fault. You know what it is the fault of these sniveling simp, self serving, family undermining, race baiting, liberty hating, Christian persecuting liberal politicians and liberal media whores like Jackson. Your very laws are the reason tragedies like Newtown happen. Why don’t you just take the responsibility for your failed laws and correct them. Oh wait…I forgot it’s no bodies fault…my bad!

That’s like saying that auto industry should be held responsible for accidents! Figures JJ would come up with drivel like that!
http://www.facebook.com/roswell.evans.7 Roswell Evans

Where does individual responsibility come into play. Why don’t we ban cars,planes,baseball bats,bath tubs(people have slipped in tubs),etc You can be killed by just about anything. IT COMES DOWN TO RESPONSIBITIY NOT SOMEONES BIAS AGAINST THE OBJECT.

  Don’t forget drones.

No one has ever listened to J.J., why start now?

  That is the problem. When Blacks listen to this lying garbage they vote our gun rights away(as they did voting for obama). If obama uses executive privilege to bypass the Constitution we are lost.
  - EBlake
    
    Obama’s executive authority: as far as executive orders, do not allow him to go beyond dealing with those under his authority and those orders he gives may not be unlawful or against the Constitution

Jesse Jackson is not sane……..
Jim

Jesse Jackson should be held responsible for his stupidity as well as others like him
IMSweetOlBob

Hey Jesse boy ! How about you, the greasy headed Sharpton, and the rabidly racist NAACP taking responsibility for all the black gangs and flash mobs ? Y’all had a hell of a lot more to do with stirring them up than Colt Mfg. had to do with some drugged up nut shooting people.
And then Yall look the other way when they are attacking whites, and finally make excuses for them because “they is jus’ po, black chirrens” what aint got no daddy”.
Pee Ess: How’s that lady in California you spent a million dollars of Rainbow Pushs money to move out there ? Kid OK too ?
stombut

Unless of course that manufacturer just happens to be black. Then of course it would be the whites fault for walking in front of the bullets. Don’t forget the home builders that built the stairs, the excavator that dug the hole for the pool, the electric company for the electrician that touched the wrong wire, the glue manufacturer for the kid that od’ed from inhaling. And for lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, sharks, the ocean (too deep), mountains (too high)….we can always blame GOD. Jackson should be held responsible for all the blacks he helps to suppress and keep in poverty!!!! When it comes to Jackson, I blame
his parents for having sex on the wrong day!!!!!!!!!!

Like he should be held accountable for his trash talk. Racist fool who said it was ok, MLK deserved his whiskey and ‘other’ women, so he could relax. This guy is so far from reality, there’s got to be a vacuum around him. Pathetic abuser of reality, I think he’s done as much damage to Blacks as good. I know many people equate their wanting equal treatment see this fool as what’s wrong with it. EVERY citizen of America deserves equal treatment. Period. He’s nothing more than a racist hatemonger, and this is just another ‘photo-op’ for him.

SOONER ORE LATER OBO WILL OPEN HIS MOUTH AGAIN IN PUBLIC AND THE BLACK WILL ROLL OUT TOO.

People opened the door to this crap, when the government held the tobacco companies being the reason people smoke. Once the government get’s a foot hold, they use it their favor. Like they say in the military, never volunteer.
- Rattlerjake
  
  This is one of the main reasons that government has exceeded their powers. They have “unlimited” resources to draw from to attack anyone or any business and can and will control the situation when money is involved. This, blame the manufacturer and not the irresponsible individual, is a key agenda of socialism as it causes the populace to rely on government to solve their problems. What this video, it explains everything about the direction this country has followed and why: Sorry for length of this video. It is truly unbelievable. Don’t let your ideology get in the way. Keep an open mind. http: //vimeo . com/52009124
- URKiddinMee
  
  You are correct, Chuck. The “victim mentality” which now permeates this country is one of the contributing factors toward our eventual ruin. Massive settlements awarded to people too dumb to know that “hot coffee is HOT,” hair dryers should not be used in showers and tobacco companies are holding guns to our heads to force us to smoke. Couple that with instances where 600 injury lawsuits are filed after a minor wreck of a city bus which only holds 90 people when fully packed to :”standing room only.”
  
  I’m thinking I might file a suit against the city for building the sidewalk too close to my a z z !

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and The NAACP are collectively the greatest group of yahoos on the planet after Muslims, who believe EVERYONE not a Muslim, had no right to existence. It is the irresponsible statements like this that fan the flames and cause more unrest than already we have over an issue that calls for iand not rampant enotion based on emotional hype and tilted reporting to achieve a particular agenda; in this case, the disraming of the American Public. Since 2005 and the Castle Rock Vs Gonzalez decision that police protection is NOT a right and did not allow Jessica Gonzales, even in the presence of a valid redstraining order, to sue the police for failure to protect her and her children from her estranged husband by a 7-2 decision of the SJC, There is MORE reason than ever for people to have the right keep and bear arms. as they for now at least, have the RIGHT to defend themselves with deadly force. You know the perpetrators of that force will use it. Is the individual or family under attack and being victimized not entitled to defend themselves? Not according to people like Mr. Jackson and others. My, how very convenient! I would BET that most if not all politicians have either guns themselves or armed protection in their immediate vicinities at all times. Is it right that they would DENY YOU THE SAME PROTECTION? the legalese of the decision can be read at:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/04-278.ZS.html
One very good justification for the possession of automatic weapons no one wishes to admit to: Racially motivated black on white Flash mobs which are an increasing problem in the U.S. and being driven by the lack of economic opportunity CREATED by the administration and its failure to address the issues important to us ALL. There has been as well, much anti-caucasian rhetoric spewing from the NAACP and that is a matter of fact and record. Perhaps it is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and the like who need to be held responsible for the statements they make and NOT the wespons manufacturers who are doing NOTHING illegal; and are in STRICY compliance with existing gun laaws.!
JDH

If you accept his logic, then car makers should be held responsible every time anyone is killed by a drunk driver, or whiskey makers every time some lush drinks himself to death. People choose their own madnesses, and that never justifies restricting the choices of rational individuals. Sadly liberals and progressives take the viewpoint that there are no other sane rational individuals.
- Rattlerjake
  
  This is the same old argument. It is a waste of time thinking that you can explain reality to a liberal. Take the time to watch this video, it will show you why it has become a blame game. It is truly unbelievable. Don’t let your ideology
  get in the way. Keep an open mind. http: //vimeo . com/52009124

PLEASE tell me why you continue to publish this morons trash comments. He is still trying to keep his ugly face in the media as though anyone believed anything he has to say.
It is people like this that started the whole self serving racial disputes in the first place. He should be arrested for race baiting. PLEASE stop giving this moron air or press time.
CrustyOldGeezer

The ‘news’ MANUFACTURERS should be held responsible for glorifying all the wrong things in this country.

The Manufacturers of violent tv shows and movies should held responsible.

The MANUFACTURERS of RACISM such as jessie jackson should be held ACCOUNTABLE for their disruptions in Society.

The MANUFACTURERS of poorly educated masses in inner cities should be held accountable for their REFUSAL to provide useful educations…

The democrat party should be held accountable for the Societal and Cultural destructions wreaked upon this nation.

I agree, there are a lot of people, groups and organizations that need to be held accountable…

Oddly enough, they all refer to themselves as “PROGRESSIVE”.

I don’t think I much like the ‘progress’ they have shown so far.

Auto makers for car accidents McDonalds for fat kids blame inanimate objects for the actions of idiots. By the way speaking of idiots how is Jesse Jr. Doi.g with tha

Yo, J J…. what about your homies in Chicago mowing each other down, and right in the middle of the most anti-gun rights towns on the planet? And you chumps already tried that lame idea of trying to make manufacturers ‘responsible’ for actions of lawbreakers. Didn’t work then, won’t work now.
Siddown and shaddup, fool, go extort more money from whitey business people, that’s what you do best.

So according to this idiot, car manufacturers need to be held responsible for the accident deaths, knife manufacturers for cuts needing stitches, home manufacturers for burning a house down, stupid people for having too many babies they can’t take care of—. Wait, yep, that last statement stands.

I was wrong about the Rev.Jackson,he is stupider than he looks which I thought was impossible.
But like they always say, YOU JUST CAN’T FIX STUPID!!
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=516711224 Vic Bailey

We all know how STUPID Jessie Jackson is, and people that have a mind at all, know better than listen to him! I wonder if he sued the birth control people, for his whore getting knocked up? I doubt it! Sue the auto makers for making a machine that kills 4 times that of guns! These gun grabbing IDIOTS, NEVER look at the real numbers, they just make them up! Semper Fi.

Once again JJ shows his total ignorance onl the subject !!

This punk needs to be sued for race baiting, stupidity and it is too damn bad he wasn’t standing closer to King!
DEfromDC

Jesse Jackson is more responsible for Black on Black crime and should take responsibility for his actions. How about extortion? Maybe he should step forward and take responsibility for what he has done there as well before talking.
David Knight

Are you even F’ing serious Jesse???? Okay, lets see, cigarets vs.
guns.

Number one, cigaret companies have been intentionally putting
highly addictive additives in their product for decades. So yes, I agree
with you there that cigaret companies should be held accountable for
their product and the damage it does to their consumers.

However, a firearm is a completely different animal all together. There are no
inside influences or outside influences except maybe Hollywood movies
& video games to create such an affect on their consumers and even
then, the user of a firearm would have to have a serious detachment from
reality (mental disturbance) to use a firearm to kill as was done in Aurora, CO and New Town, CT. IDIOT!!!!

We should outlaw all mics from Jesse Jackson or we should at least make them responsible somehow. He is getting more loony as he gets older. While we are at it we should make are automobile manufacturer’s responsible for all of the deaths on the highways.
http://www.facebook.com/hal.edwards.73 Hal Edwards

Of course! Let’s go back to the 1990′s, when corrupt, irresponsible city governments could sue gun manufacturers to try to take money from businesses to give it to people who did nothing to earn it.

Jesse needs to put the blame where it belongs. On the shoulders of the breeders of the demon spawn. Himself being one, raising and educating a son to be a thief (politician) and an adulterer. And that prize of a daughter in law but hey they come from the same place the POTUS does. CROOK COUNTY, IL
justamused

With that logic Jackson’s mother should be held responsible for his stupidity!
- TxPatrick
  
  Jesse Sr. is responsible for Jesse Jr. and should both share a Cell in Prison.
mike3517

If we use this analogy we should make the car manufatures responsible for every infraction with a car, or how about this accept responsibilty for your own actions. Guns don’t kill, people do.
ralphwylie

“Personal Responsibility” has never been in the lexicon of the likes (i.e. race baiters) of Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson Jr. or of Al Sharpton, et al. If they were to accept that people commit crimes, not inanimate objects they would be out of a job.
John Hunter

Jesse Jackson and king barry etc. are the threats to national security.
The LACK of assault weapons is the threat to security.

Saying gun mfg’s should be held accountable for killings is like saying
that God should be held accountable for Jesse’s adultery.
GDC

Jesse Jackson should be held ACCOUNTABLE for ALL CRIMES committed by any Black person!!!
GDC

Jesse Jackson is near the top of the list if Civil War breaks out!!!
Sandra Lee Smith

ONLY if the manufacturers of OTHER lethal weapons, starting with automobiles that kill and maim FAR more people annually than guns do, are held equally responsible, and that list would also include drug manufacturers, because THEIR lists of fatalities is pretty long too…This is inane and childish, the manufacturer isn’t responsible for HOW a purchaser uses his product!

JJ is a drunken fool, he is drunk on his own stupid thoughts.
KEN

ACCORDING TO JESSEE JACKSON, GUN MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR SHOOTINGS. DOES THAT MEAN CAR MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FOR BOTH ALCOHOL AND DRUNK DRIVER ACCIDENTS? OR A KNIFE, OR A HAMMER, OR A BAT OR ANY OTHER MANUFACTURE OF A WEAPON THAT IS USED TO KILL? HIS LACK OF COMMON SCENTS IS WAY OUT!!!

Oh yeah, and spoon manufacturers should be held responsible for fat people. And, hey, let’s hold car manufacturers and alcohol distillers responsible for drunk driving. Are these people serious? Yes, they’re seriously stupid!

He’s been trying to be somebody BIG for a long time. He has never acomplished it. He never will. Just sit back, and keep your big mouth shut…

Why is it Jesse Jackson always gets his face into every horrible thing that happens. Dry up u old fart!

new level of stupid, my semi auto 22 rifle with a 25 round clip has never killed anything and never will, only i can accomplish that, oh wait a moment, i’m not a gun, i’m a person, lol, mr jackson you have surpassed any one i know for your level of stupidity.

When can I sue Jessie Jackson for the crimes committed by people that listen to him?
That actually makes MORE sense than holding manufacturers liable for MISUSE of their product. How about holding GM liable for drunk drivers?

muslims do not like Christains, Jackson may be on obama terrorist list.

Relax all you racists, can’t you see that the master blackmailer the “REVEREND” Jackson is only helping his fellow criminal Barack ‘the flim flam man Obama? After all, a disarmed population will be much easier to control when it’s time for the takeover. Isn’t that what we all want: A bloodless coup!!!
lupine

I liked Jesse Jackson most when he advocated emasculating Barack Obama. Of course he didn’t know he was being filmed when he said it, but it was doubtless his best problem solving idea. Perhaps he should be encouraged to speculate along comparable lines again.
rick

Idiot, he lives in Chicago why doesn’t he concentrate on the black gangs that are not legal owners of guns that keep killing people, then hollers louder than He– about black youth and being put in jail, they steal anything not nailed down, Go home and contribute to the problems in your backyard.
Will

Inner city baby manufacturers should be held responsible for their children’s crimes.
mogul264

I AGREE that maybe we should blame gun manufacturers, but ONLY after Jesse Jackson takes the blame for all the tortured souls who have gone to HELL after he has started ‘preaching’! And for all the racial strife since he began opening his yap about ‘racial incidents’ that weren’t RACIAL !

While we’re at it, blame rope manufacturers for people who vigilantes have hanged, knife makers for knives and swords used to kill, and, finally, auto manufacturers for all the auto deaths! Then blame GOD for having made rocks some have used to bash skulls of others! Let the blame flow (for all the good it’ll do!)

OR, HERE’S and idea! Let’s just blame the person pulling the trigger!
http://www.facebook.com/people/Bob-Higginbotham/100000261072379 Bob Higginbotham

Jackson wouldn’t know an “assault weapon” if he tripped over one which is comical because any weapon can be considered an assault weapon. Jackson is nothing more than an extortionist and has made a lotof money doing that. He extorted Anheiser Busch into giving his son a franchise and has, over the years, made millions doing the same. His rainbow coalition is a sham and anoher way he gets his money. It sounds lie he may be trying to do something similar to the gun manufacturers via law suites.
Asotal

Forget Jesse Jackson, he’s irrelevant. What is this man a reverend of? He’s a socialist, a Martin Luther King, wannabe. Martin Luther King disassociated himself from radicals like Jesse Jackson. After King died Jackson somehow became a reverend hoping to step into King’s shoes but he just didn’t have the greatness. He used his participation in the civil rights marches as a stepping stone into politics Look at him today, a race baiter, a father of illegitimate children, and a liar.

Can we hold Jesse responsible for stupidity? It makes sense!
Shears_of_Atropos

My questions is: Who do we hold accountable for Jesse Jackson?
hijinx60

My son was killed by a transfer truck (really). Why aren’t the manufacturers being held responsible for such deaths? BECAUSE IT IS THE USERS FAULT.
twototo2

whew boy – and of course you can’t stop there Jesse – lets see – how many people die in cars annually? How many people die from liver disease due to alcohol (or double whammy – by a drunk driver – alcohol and cars) how many kids choke on hotdogs a year (a hell of alot more than killed by guns), how many people die from anaphylactic shock from peanuts? I could go on for days – sounds like a hell of alot of companies are in big big trouble -
Paul

In this line of thought, elected politicians should be held responsible for bad laws. Jesse ought to be held responsible for crimes committed by black people. Gas stations ought to be held responsible for cars that run out of gas. Now who can we blame the stupidity of our presidents and senators on? Most people know that ignorance can be cured, but stupidity is terminal. Well maybe not most after seeing the numbers of votes turned in last election. How in heck does a county with 5000 residents manage to collect 6000 plus votes??

If we use his logic then every time a inner city black women has a illigetimate child he should have to pay child support, because he has been instumental in the propogation of doing what feels right and is not morally right.
