Jesse Jackson Part 2

From the Associated Press:

CHICAGO - The Rev. Jesse Jackson used an emotionally charged racial slur during a break in a TV interview in which he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday.
The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show. In those comments, he contended that Obama wasn't speaking to issues important to the black community and unaware that his microphone was still on, he said, "I want to cut his nuts off."
In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, the African-American leader is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with a slur commonly referred to as the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."

Jesse Jackson 24 years later

Jesse Jackson Civil Rights Destroyer.



On the O'Reilly Factor, Jesse Jackson, thinking the microphone was off said the following:

"See, Barack been..um..talking down to black people..on his faith based. I want to cut his nuts off."

Beyond reprehensible, really.

But what can we expect from Jackson who is 1984 as a DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE no less referred to New York City as "Hymietown".

Larry Sabato's excellent piece from the Washington Post reported at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/jackson.htmoutlines how Jackson denied the remarks and blamed it on a Jewish conspiracy. And then he admitted the remarks were made but it was supposed to be made "off the record" as if that made it okay.

To make it worse, Jackson's good buddy and everyone's favorite anti-semite, Louis Farrakhan, threatened the Washington post reporter and Jackson refused to denounce Farrakhan.

Good going Jesse.

Not even your role in The Man with The Golden Gun is going to save you.

Me?

I don't mind politicians making on-air gaffes.

I didn't mind George W. Bush calling a reporter an "asshole" thinking his microphone was off.

Most reporters are.

My favorite moment was Ronald Reagan's.

"My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes."

But Jesse Jackson? He, like the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, should be beyond forgiveness.

Both are reverends, notice that???

I hope the divinity school they went to has closed up
