http://bluevirginia.us/diary/12562/need-your-postthanksgiving-dose-of-extremism-and-insanity-heeeeres-rick-santorum-ew-jacksonA few "highlights" (lowlights?):
*Jackson goes on a rant about some member of the "homosexual organization" Human Rights Campaign board (Terry Bean) who is "one of Obama's biggest donors" was charged (along with "his former boyfriend - it pains me to even say such things" with "having sex in a hotel with a 15-year-old boy who they recruited online." Jackson says there's a "virtual boycott in the news" about this (even though it took me a 5-second Google search to find this CNN article about it - whatever). Jackson proceeds to rip homosexuality, claiming it "promotes this kind of behavior" that Terry Bean allegedly engaged in. Finally, Jackson claims that the media won't touch this one with a 10-foot pole, apparently because they are hell-bent on protecting President Obama. Seriously. Hahahahahahaha.
*Jackson urges Congress to not confirm any Obama nominees, to defund anything they can defund, possibly to shut down the government, whatever it takes to stop Obama's executive order on immigration and to bring this president "to heel"/stop him from "trampling on our freedom."
*Jackson blasts President Obama for "us[ing] as an advisor Al Sharpton," says "that tells you everything you need to know" - "case closed," there's "something so skewed about his judgment that it's just...or so radical in his ideology that it's just beyond comprehension that we've got someone like that actually sitting in White House occupying the office of the presidency, but that's what we've got." Yep, that's our EW Jackson! LOL
*Jackson completely blames Michael Brown and completely absolves Darren Wilson for what happened in Ferguson. He further claims that anyone complaining that what happened in Ferguson might represent a form of discrimination/racism is a "race hustler." "These young black boys are going to have to be taught to respect authority...that you don't fight police officers...basic things."

These views are no longer right wing hyperbole. I do not engage in conversation outside my home.
