Good Grief … Rev. Jesse Jackson Calls Florida the ‘Selma of our time’ … What an Insult to Selma, AL!

What an insult to Selma, Alabama.

The race-baiter Jesse Jackson compared Florida and their “stand your ground” to the civil rights marches that took place in Selma, AL and called it, “the Selma of our time”. Really Rev. Jackson, really? Florida Gov. Rick Scott asked for an apology to the insult to Floridians. However, I disagree. It is not Floridians who should be asking for the apology, it is those from Selma, Alabama who should demand the apology.  The murder trial of George Zimmerman, in which he was found not guilty in the murder of Trayvon Martin, had nothing to do with “stand your ground” laws. It was just simple self-defense. However, that had not prevented as Bill O’Reilly refers to Jackson as the race hustlers hijacking Trayvon’s death and memory. Worse yet, they are making a mockery out of real civil rights in the United States like Selma, Alabama and the Selma to Montgomery marches, also known as Bloody Sunday and the two marches that followed. It is those that marched in Selma who Jesse Jackson owes an apology to.

Remember when I used to be relevant …

Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday accused Rev. Jesse Jackson of insulting Floridians with a series of reckless and divisive statements about the state and its “stand your ground” self-defense law.

While visiting the state Capitol Tuesday, Jackson talked about efforts to repeal the law and used the phrase “Selma of our time” — a reference to civil rights marches in Alabama that helped prompt change in the 1960s.

In a July 18 exchange on CNN, Jackson talked about an economic boycott to “isolate Florida as a kind of apartheid state given this whole stand your ground laws.”

Scott denounced both comments and demanded an apology, saying the longtime civil rights leader’s words “insult Floridians and divide our state at a time when we are striving for unity and healing.”

It is pathetic that Rev. Jesse Jackson would trivialize the actual Civil Rights movement of the 1960′s to continue to attempt to be relevant and turn a profit. Weasel Zippers‘ title says it best, Jesse Jackson is  ‘Compares Gov. Rick Scott To Segregationist George Wallace’? Pathetic indeed.

George Zimmerman Pulled Over by Police for Speeding in Forney, Texas … Told Officers he had Gun in Car

Don’t Mess With Texas …

George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who was recently found not guilty in the murder of Trayvom Martin in Sanford, FL, was pulled over by police for speeding in  Forney, Texas. The entire incident was caught on the police dash cam. Upon being pulled over, Zimmerman made the Forney police officer aware of a firearm in his glove compartment at the beginning of the stop. Initially the officer did not realize who Zimmerman was. That was until Zimmerman said to the officer, “You didn’t see my name?” In the end, Zimmerman was given a waring.

According to the police dashcam video obtained by inForney.com, Zimmerman made the Forney police officer aware of a firearm in his glove compartment at the beginning of the stop. After revealing the firearm, the police officer asked where Zimmerman was heading. Zimmerman replied, “nowhere in particular.” “Nowhere in particular, why is that?” responded the officer. “You didn’t see my name?” said Zimmerman. The officer then responded, “wow, what a coincidence.”

The officer then asked if he was clear of warrants to which Zimmerman replied, “absolutely.”

UK Mail:

While being questioned by the officer, Zimmerman, who was driving a 2008 Honda pick-up with Florida plates, told the officer that he was armed and was instructed to keep the gun in the car’s glove-compartment.

The officer issued Zimmerman a warning for speeding and then sent him on his way – but not before asking him where he was going, to which he replied ‘nowhere in particular’.

‘Nowhere in particular, why is that?’ responded the officer according to In Forney.com

‘You didn’t see my name?’ said Zimmerman. The officer then responded, ‘wow, what a coincidence.’

The officer then inquired if Zimmerman was free of any warrants for arrest, to which Zimmerman replied, ‘absolutely’.

‘Alright, I’m gonna go back and just check you, routinely,’ said the officer as he checked Zimmerman’s proof of insurance and a driver’s license.

‘The reason you were stopped was for your speed, why don’t you slow down a little bit for me and, as long as you don’t have any warrants, I’ll cut you loose with a warning,’ said the officer to Zimmerman according to In Forney.com.

‘Just take it easy, go ahead and shut your glove compartment and don’t play with your firearm, ok?’

The traffic stop according to InForney.Com lasted approximately five minutes and after being given a warning, Zimmerman was sent on his way – being wished ‘a safe trip’ by the officer.

Move Over Anthony Weiner, Bubba’s Back … Monica Lewinsky – Bill Clinton Sex Tape Surfaces

I’m back, Clinton’s blast from the past …

Move over Anthony ‘Carlos Danger’ Weiner, the king of political perv is back. Talk about a blast from the past. According to Radar Online, The National Enquirer is set to publish details of a Monica Lewinsky sex tape that she recorded for Bill Clinton during their inappropriate affair. You remember, when President Bill Clinton was telling us that he did not have sex with that woman [a White House intern], miss Lewinsky, not a single time. No wonder the Clinton’s have been upset with Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma for the latest sex scandal and all the references back to Bubba’s sordid sex scandals with Monica Lewinsky back in the day when Bill Clinton was president.

Let’s face it America, when it comes to sex scandals Weiner’s sexting pales in comparison to Bill Clinton’s sex with an intern as President. There is no comparison, yet we have hypocritical Democrats calling for Weiner to drop out of the NY’s mayor race but they defended Clinton to the high heavens saying that it was a person matter. Hmm … no double standard here is there?

A sex tape that Monica Lewinsky recorded for Bill Clinton at the height of their scandalous affair has leaked, during which the former White House intern is heard planning a secret sexual rendezvous with the president and declaring she is “too cute and adorable” to be ignored.

On the audio tape obtained by The National Enquirer, Lewinsky at one point tries to seduce the commander in chief: “I could take my clothes off and start… well… I know you wouldn’t enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want.”

Lewinsky, who turned 40 last week, made the three-minute, 47 second recording in November 1997 and addressed it to “handsome.”

Weasel Zippers asks, I would love to know who leaked this tape, the timing surrounding the Weiner scandals are uncanny.
