On MSNBC’s Martin Bashir Show Jesse Jackson claimed Governor Brewer’s finger pointing and Congressman West’s comments leads to enraging masses against the President. Jackson then speculates that these masses will turn violent and lead to the assignation of President Obama.

“Well, ignorance and hatred and violence is in a certain pattern. John Kennedy was demonized. He’s the guy who imposed himself on the south. He intervened. It’s called an interposition. In the end this demon was shot. They demonized Dr. King talking about the war of Vietnam, out of his capacity with disrupting things and Hoover calling him a damn liar.”
