Fox News takes a lot of flack from the left, and sometimes from the right, and they are taking it again for simply reporting the truth of what Jesse Jackson said in anger about Barak Obama-something most of us might consider-let's see-oh, yeah, NEWS!
They should be above that, I suppose, and not be so quick to point to the obvious proof of what most of us have known or at least strongly suspected all along-i.e., Jesse Jackson is a piece of trash. What other kind of person would say the following, as reported on the Fox website-
Jackson was speaking at the time about Obama’s speeches in black
churches and his support for faith-based charities. Jackson added to
the reporter, “I want to cut his nuts off.”
Jackson is seemingly enraged that Obama is "talking down to blacks" and seems to think his time would be better spent engaged in the same type of demagoguery that made him such an icon of racial harmony.
Instead, Obama has the gall to suggest that blacks do something to encourage respect for families in the black communities, keeping them together, supporting their children, and becoming overall better role models to them.
In other words, he is not "talking down" to blacks. He is "talking up" to whites.
Jackson knows that, of course, and what is really driving him so nuts that he would love to get his hands on Obama's nuts is that-uh oh, it might be working.
Nor is this the first time Jackson has insinuated himself in Obama's campaign in a negative manner. Here is an account of how Jackson went ballistic over Obama's refusal to become involved in the controversy last year involving the so-called "Jena Six". Evidently, Jesse Jackson thinks it's proper for elected officials and candidates for public office to insinuate their opinions in the middle of court cases that have not yet been decided, or that are being appealed. Most of us would prefer they stay out of it, or at least not take any specific side.
In Jackson's opinion, Obama was "acting like he's white".
That statement on it's own should be enough to show the world what Jesse Jackson is about. Think about that, slowly and carefully. Let it languish in your consciousness for just a few seconds.
"Acting like he's white."
Jackson's son, a current Democratic Representative from Chicago, had at least the good sense to public disavow his father's rhetoric.That's understandable, more than it is admirable. The junior Jackson knows his father, in his rapidly approaching stages of dementia, has revealed the inner workings of the Jackson machine and the persona that is its spiritual foundation.
Jackson said the latest remark off the cuff, at the end of an interview, thinking the microphone was cut off. This is turning into a trend.Sometimes I wonder if it might be intentional, and that Jackson might actually be sending out signals to his more radical, hard-line supporters, telling them in effect, hey-this guy is not really one of us.
Check out how Jackson tries to play it off when confronted over the remark-
"Then I said something I regret was crude. It was very private. And very much a sound bite," he also said.
A sound bite? Isn't that basically the same thing as an overgrown slogan? Something you say that you hope will stick in people's minds, that they will remember in the days and weeks to come? Something that basically amounts to a distillation of the essence of your position on a particular matter?
Well, congratulations, Jackson. We get it. You want to cut a man's nuts off. I think that's pretty much an accurate reflecion of your position over the last forty years.
Keep the black man emasculated as a statististical group, he and his families helpless and dependent on government handouts, with yourself among the most elite beneficiaries of that sad and regressive philosophy-the straw boss on the Democratic Party plantation.
The really scary thing is this guy might be named to an official cabinet position, something like Secretary of Health And Human Services, under an Obama Administration.
Whatever he's put in charge of, let's just hope they keep him away from sharp objects.

LOL- I was wondering why it took so long to hear something from Jesse.
HA
I heard this this morning but I couldn't understand what Jackson was saying. Sounded like he was at the end of a drinking binge and about to nod off.
Remember, tho, that Jackson has been working as a black american for others of his heritage for years. Obama is no more a black american who is the descendant of slaves as the offspring of any american and non white foreign national. This upstarts ascension has to piss Jackson off as it has older women who felt cheated out of a female candidate.
While there is a race and sex element in this presidential race, there is a generational thing going on, too that is not too well reported.
As far as Obama not voicing an opinion - check out his voting record. A whole lotta "presents".
Quim-That's a good point, about the generational aspects. Jackson feels like an old lion whose supremacy over the pride is being challenged by a young upstart, one who will either end his rule, or is a harbinger of that eventuality, and it is affecting his judgment.
Danielle-You can only go so long without seeing Jesse Jackson popping up and, at least as often as not, generally making an ass of himself to one degree or another.
I think now we can clearly begin to legitimately monitor the progress of the onset of profound dementia.
Quim-I forgot to mention, most tv stations and their "news" programs haven't been playing the actual words "cut his nuts off". Most of them haven't even been saying the phrase. The most I heard was a not completely accurate report on the evening news to the effect that Jackson wanted to "rip off" a "sensitive part of Obama's anatomy".
I assumed Jackson was referring to Obama's nuts, or maybe his tongue (because of things Obama was saying that Jackson found objectionable) and the stations just thought it was too unbecomming to quote him.
It wasn't until I looked on the Fox News site that I found out exactly what Jackson said. They are the only ones actually quoting it.
I think I saw the same report you did. All it showed was him telling the Fox News reporter in a quiet voice that Obama was "talking down to black people."
It seems most news reports are focusing on that and trying to downplay the "nuts" remark.
Can you imagine if Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity had said they wanted to cut Obama's nuts off. Holy crap, there would be riots on the streets as I type this.
The point being, if Limbaugh or Hannity, or another white broadcaster or other such white person of note made that remark, it would be all over the news, and they would have no problem at least reporting the quote verbatim, and probably replaying it over and over and over again.
I have a feeling that this was the best endorsement that Jackson could have given Obama.
Rudus-
That's a good point. Jackson has just made Obama look like Bill Cosby to a whole lot of people.
Jesse hates Obama the same way a paid prostitute hates a sexually-liberated woman. Jesse has made a career out of exploiting white guilt to make himself rich and influential. Obama is making a career out of absolving whites of their guilt for free.
If Obama gets elected, Jesse becomes an obsolete anachronism, like a prostitute trying to get paid for sex in a swinging club where everybody fucks for free.
That's an interesting analogy, Sonia. To expand on it a bit, I think Obama will turn out to be an expensive date, and though we might like what we see now, like in many marriages (if it gets to that point), we might not like everything we end up getting.
