Jackson Shunned, Media Stunned -

Jackson Shunned, Media Stunned - Didn't see much coverage of this - protesters turning on Jesse Jackson at a rally.

Interesting quote:

"'We are tired of coming here to voice our opinion when we got African-American people sitting at the table and saying they represent our interests and playing this puppet game,' said one protester.

More interesting response:

Afterwards ABC7's Rob Johnson asked Reverend Jackson why he felt like so much verbal venom was aimed in his direction.

'They lashed out at Dr. King, they lashed out at Nelson Mandela, they lashed out at Jesus, so all of those who fight for change become the object of frustration,' said Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rainbow-Push Coalition"

Christ, Mandela...Jackson; Martyrs.

The man may have finally lost it.
