From what I've read, Jackson's comments were about how Obama appeared to lecture the black communicty on morality.

According to Fox News: (http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/09/jesse-jackson-apologizes-for-obama-remarks/)

Jackson was speaking at the time about Obama’s speeches in black churches and his support for faith-based charities. Jackson added, “I want to cut his nuts off.”

how? sounds crazy.

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

“I want to cut his nuts off.”

OH NO HE DIDN'T!!!!!!!

[NewYorkDragons80]

how? sounds crazy.
Because, you see, nothing ever hurts him

[underdog]

how? sounds crazy.

Because (white) people will start to see a separation between Obama and Jackson, which is a good thing.

[TheMojoPin]

how? sounds crazy.

A lot of white people, by and large, don't like Jackson and see him as "dangerous" for a variety of reasons. Something like this obviously clearly seperates Jackson and Obama for a lot of people wary of the "back thing" due to public figures like Jackson.

[Midkiff]

He never gets any.

Indeed not.

[scottinnj]

Indeed not.

BTW, it's good to see you posting more regularly. Nice to have you back Midkiff.

Now go fuck 'em in their fucking fuckholes. (Priceless!!!!)

The DC Fox station isn't quite so shy about it. They just played the video, only bleeping out "dick".

[Dirtybird12]

The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Thursday denied allegations that his disparaging remarks about Sen. Barack Obama stemmed from envy.

I heard Jackson on CNN today saying something like "it's time to forgive and move on"
and I was thinking - hmmm if IMUS had made this comment, I wonder how quick Jackson would be ready to forgive and move on? IMUS would have be lynched and fired.

Double standard? -

Jesse's kid made a funny comment.

Jackson's son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois -- co-chair of Obama's presidential campaign -- publicly blasted his father's comments Wednesday.

"I'm deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson's reckless statements about Sen. Barack Obama," the younger Jackson said. "His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee -- and I believe the next president of the United States -- contradict his inspiring and courageous career."

Fox: Jackson used N-word in crude off-air remarks
Thursday, July 17th, 2008 at 5:20pm EST






The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where 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 additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."

Though a Fox spokesman confirmed the TVNewer's account to The Associated Press, the network declined to release the full transcript of the July 6 show and did not air the comments.

Jackson _ who is traveling in Spain _ apologized in a statement Wednesday for "hurtful words" but didn't offer specifics.

"I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public," Jackson said in a written statement. "There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people."
A spokeswoman for Jackson's civil rights organization, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, said she could not confirm that Jackson used the slur.

Jackson has called on the entertainment industry, including rappers, actors and studios, to stop using the N-Word. He also urged the public to boycott purchasing DVD copies of the TV sitcom "Seinfeld" after co-star Michael Richards was taped using the word during a rant at a Los Angeles comedy club in 2006.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has joined Jackson in opposition of the word, said Wednesday he wanted to hear the comments for himself and declined to discuss Jackson specifically.

"I am against the use of the N-word by anyone and I think we must be consistent," he told The Associated Press. "We must not use the word."


I'ts good that he wants to move on to the real issues.
(Like white people using the "N-word")

[Zorro]

I think maybe we're too hard on Jesse. Most of us will never be able to understand what its like to be black in America. Jacksoin fought his entire adult life and now he's become irrelevant...or maybe redundant is a better word. However you describe it he just doesn't matter anymore. That's got to be angering. So forgive him for lashing out.

[BlackSpider]

Nobody would give a shit what words jesse or sharpton use,
If they weren't the first ones to attack other people when they say the wrong thing...

Let me get this right: Obama wants to end this discussion and that's a bad thing?

That was a Jackson quote, after his short apology.
not Obama.
He threatened a presidential candidate, and nothing happens.
I don't use the word. Just pointing out his hipocrisy.

You are right. Jackson shouldn't use the word and is stupid to do so.
