Black Conservative Attacks Abortion, Dems Faint Dead Away
By Jonathon Moseley

Journalists and Democrats have designated a new Republican scandal: Bishop Earl W. Jackson "compared" Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan.

On May 18, Jackson became the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor of Virginia in this November's 2013 elections. An important detail in this drama is that Bishop Jackson is African-American. Much more alarming, Jackson has been leading a hard-hitting campaign to call on Blacks to leave the Democrat Party. Jackson argues passionately that no Christian -- Black, Hispanic, or Caucasian -- can remain any longer in the Democratic Party that booed God at the Democrat National Convention in 2012 and stands against God. He argues that the Democrat Party is like a modern-day plantation that takes Blacks for granted and exploits them.

Jackson created and leads the annual Martin Luther King Leadership Breakfast, which draws hundreds to celebrate the ideals of Dr. King, in Chesapeake, Virginia (the region including Norfolk and Virginia Beach). He has a law degree from Harvard. He is a former Marine. (Ooops! Marines will insist once a Marine always a Marine.)

He was a law professor at Northeastern University, and practiced law for 15 years in Boston. Jackson was Deputy Commissioner of Banks for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and a trustee of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce. But this ultra-qualified, serious African-American is also unabashedly conservative and outspoken in his Christian beliefs.

So you are hereby commanded by the liberal establishment to adopt and express a negative opinion of E.W. Jackson because Jackson compared one thing to something else. The Pavlovian trigger is that a person in politics "compared" X to Y. We like Pavlov's dogs are commanded to draw in our breath in shock. Of course, it was not a comparison officially approved by the Left-leaning establishment. While comparing X to Y, Jackson compared the wrong things to each other.

This is one of the silliest political arguments around. Journalists take a neutral or mild statement and try to turn it into a scandal. Saying a person "compared" X to Y suggests a meaning radically different from what was said.

Furthermore, the media hides the original statement so the reader won't know that the speaker is making perfect sense. The comparison is reported -- not what was actually said. So the reader is stirred up to have a negative opinion of the speaker, without being able to judge for himself.

Suppose I say that General Dwight Eisenhower was a better military strategist than Adolf Hitler. I compare Eisenhower with Hitler. The news headlines would read: "Moseley compares Eisenhower with Hitler." Yes, my comparison was that Eisenhower was smart militarily and Hitler was an arrogant doofus (after invading naïve countries led at first by unprepared and gullible appeasers). I did indeed compare Eisenhower with Hitler. But so what?

The scam is trying to change "compare" into "equate." The implication for low-information voters is that "Moseley equated Eisenhower with Hitler." But "compare" clearly does not mean "equate." Not even close. The scam is as silly as when a local leader used the word "niggardly" in the District of Columbia, and a great many people confused that synonym for "stingy" as being a racial slur.

So what did lieutenant governor nominee E.W. Jackson actually say that we are commanded to become shocked by?

"The Democrat Party has created an unholy alliance between certain so-called civil rights leaders and Planned Parenthood, which has killed unborn black babies by the tens of millions. Planned Parenthood has been far more lethal to black lives than the KKK ever was."

@Rev

Two things,
1. I'll try the ping. Let me know if it works Rev and
2. I just spent a delightful hour updating myself on Bishop EW Jackson and what he's been doing. I am thrilled that this week he has been nominated by the Virginia GOP as their Lt Governor candidate. Going up against the Dem snake Terry McAuliffe ["George W Bush killed my grandfather"] won't be easy but he and Ken Cuccinelli have the right message and I pray for their success come this fall.

Rev, funny thing is, I used to follow Bishop Jackson years ago, when he was up here in Massachusetts at Ebeneezer Baptist Church. I'd request his cassette tapes, it was that long ago. This is a man of God! I loved his teaching and bought his book about the relationship between he and his wife, with him as the loving husband. Such a divine message of love and truth all in one place, in one man!

I found out tonight a lot about him that I did not know [from reading his Wiki bio page]. I did not know that he was a Northeastern prof, he was a Harvard educated lawyer and he had practised law up here in Boston for 15 years. That as well as becoming a one of a kind preacher. I love this guy and hope VA sees fit to honor him with a job as Lt Gov. That would be great!

@Rev
it doesn't appear that my ping to Rev worked. It isn't "live" or "blue".

It worked. He just doesn't like you. Tough break.

And a Marine.

I don't know how the ping feature is supposed to work, TM, but I didn't receive any kind of notice.
