It seems Jesse Jackson, the alleged “reverend” who once smeared all Jews as “Hymies” and the city of New York as “Hymietown,” is not too happy with the fact that A&E decided to bring Phil Robertson back, and told Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg Show that Robertson needs to be more “repentant” and “contrite” for espousing the Christian position on gays — that while God hates sin, He loves the sinner and we are all sinners in His eyes.

In short, Jackson wants Robertson to essentially turn his back on biblical teachings of the subject.

Most recently, he demanded executives from A&E and Cracker Barrel meet with him over Robertson’s comments in what appeared to be part of an effort to secure some form of sanctions from the two companies....

Robertson, however, has said that he won’t back down.
