Jesse invokes murder of Emmett Till to slam Scott Walker

Two months ago I saw Jesse Jackson speak on Holy Saturday--where the reverend compared invoked the Occupy movement when speaking of Jesus.

As The Blaze tells us, the bombastics continues with Jackson.
Leave it to Jesse Jackson to speak in grandiose, racial terms when it comes to the Wisconsin recall election. And it's not just the Right that's taking notice (although the reason is quite different).

On Ed Schultz's MSNBC program on Monday, the host talked glowingly of Jackson's recent statements, summarizing some and playing others.

Yes, that's Schultz paraphrasing Jackson as saying, "He called this election one of the biggest moments in the history of our democracy. He compared it to Emmett Till's Lynching and Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat." And of course he then played the audio of Jackson comparing Walker to segregationist Alabama governor George Wallace.
