Rev. Jackson Trash Talks Obama
Drudge Report ^ | 7/9/08 | Drudge

Posted on 07/09/2008 2:01:47 PM PDT by Roberts

REV. JESSE JACKSON APOLOGIZES TO OBAMA FOR 'CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS' CAUGHT ON TAPE... FOXNEWS WILL PLAY IN ENTIRETY TONIGHT ON 'O'REILLY' 8 PM ET... OBAMA: NO COMMENT... DEVELOPING...

Statement: For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama_s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.

_My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility.

_That was the context of my private conversation and it does not reflect any disparagement on my part for the historic event in which we are involved or my pride in Senator Barack Obama, who is leading it, whom I have supported by crisscrossing this nation in every level of media and audience from the beginning in absolute terms._

The race pimp speaks. Can Race Pimp no. 2 -- Sharpton -- be far behind?

“I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.”

Redemptive? Even Jesse Jackson has fallen under the sway of the Messiah, St. Barack [pbuh]?

This from a "reverend" who embezzled charity money to pay child support payments for an illegitimate child from an affair.

He said that he wanted to "rip O'bama's nuts off".

That's the appeal to "moral responsibility" JJ refers to.

I'm guessing there was a "with my teeth" part that wasn't caught on tape, but that's just my speculation.

Jackson is going to have to get “counseling” from Sharpton.

IOW, Obama was being too white to suit the race hustler of all time.

Who gives a $hit about either one of these men. They are both useless and weak. Does not surprise me the Leprechaun is doing this. I am sure he will have Rev. Al Sharpen (as if this clown has any credibility) on tonight.

Further validation why I tuned Bill out a long time ago.

I believe Jesse’s sayin’ that the government has a moral responsibility to

provide “good choices” for black males

because they don’t have any other choice than to empregnate and abandon black women, and to commit crimes.

They ain’t got nuttin’ else ta do!

Very colorful...should be a riot.

“Radio host Sean Hannity just revealed that FOX News is in possession of an exclusive tape of Reverend Jesse Jackson, recorded after a recent interview when he thought the microphone was off, slamming Barack Hussein Obama for “talking down black people on matters of faith” (Hannity also has said it as “talking down to black people on matters of faith”) among other issues.

Hannity also intimated that Jackson says he wants to “rip Obama’s nuts off” on the tape. Hannity would not say “nuts,” but based on his description (portion of the male anatomy beginning with an “n”) I believe that’s the word he was going for.

Hannity says the tape will be played in its entirety on tonight’s Hannity and Colmes.”

He shouldn’t apologize—just blame it on the hymies.

I am so very sick and tired of MessiahObama and his worshipers. Every day he and his worshipers demean our country and themselves. A possible four years of this junk?? I cannot stand it!

Glad to see I wasn't alone in being unable to decipher this idiot's explanation. Ya just gotta admire the way he can assemble a wholebunchalotta polysyllabic words and say nothing.
