Jesse, the Mic is Still On!
Thursday, July 10th, 2008OK, this is going to be short and you know what the point is. If you haven’t heard, Jesse Jackson (I’m leaving the Reverend off on purpose) was caught on camera whispering some things about Barack Obama. He apparently thought they were on commercial and the mics were turned off. At least I hope that is what he thought. Anyway, he said something about “Obama talking down to black people, “He is talking that faith based” and…..”I want to cut his nuts off!”
Yes, that is the same guy who asked people to call black people African-Americans AND has a baby’s mamma!
When pressed, Jesse said this about his statements, “I said it can come off as speaking down to black people. The moral message must be a much broader message. What we need really is racial justice and urban policy and jobs and health care. There is a range of issues on the menu.” Concerning saying he wanted to cut the presidential candidate’s nuts off, “And then I said something I felt regret for — it was crude. It was very private, and very much a sound bite — and a live mike. I find no comfort in it, I find no joy in it.”
Uh, Jesse? You can put all that tenor in your voice and rhyme a little bit, but you are cold busted! Ha!
Can somebody chime in and tell us exactly what Jesse’s son had to say about his father’s comments? I haven’t heard them word for word, but the impression I got was he was slightly throwing his father under the bus.
It almost seems to be some jealousy to me. Now that Barack has the nomination, everyone will think he is supposed to have their interests number one. Jesse, don’t you have some Rainbow Coalition work to do or a conference will Al Sharpton or something?
I’m going to say this and get off this. After this happened is someone finally going to quite putting Jesse on TV?
