It turns out Jesse Jackson whispered something even worse than his desire to cut off Barack Obama’s manhood.
Fox News sources reveal that on an unaired portion of the tape, Jackson uses a vile racial epithet.
It turns out that what he actually said, according to Fox, was: “See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith-based – I wanna cut his nuts out. … Barack – he’s talking down to black people -- telling n------s how to behave.”
The longer exchange was first reported by TVNewser.com.
Fox sources say there are no immediate plans to air the additional portions of the tape.
Fox's Bill O'Reilly, who broke the "nuts" story, says the racial epithet was leaked by a "weasel."
Discussing the revelation with Fox anchor Shepard Smith, O'Reilly said he "held it back" because "it was not relevant to the general subject -- one civil rights leader disparaging another, over policy."
"We made a decision to hold back a remark that did not advance the story in any way, shape or form -- would have put Jackson in a worse position," O'Reilly said. "We don't want to hurt Jesse Jackson. We're not in business to do that. So we held it back. And then some weasel got the whole thing and leaked it out to the Internet, and here we are."

I assumed he used the N word when Bill O’Reilly said he wouldn’t release the rest of the tape because it would cause personal harm to the Jack Man.
BOR's the weasel, and Roger Ailes is a LIAR!
We Report, you decide, huh? FNC has ZERO credibility now.
Ping
It's only a "vile racial epithet" when used by whitey.
If FOX refuses to broadcast the tape they will have “Jumped the Shark”.
Fox will no longer be able to say “We Report, You Decide” as they will be censoring news to protect Democrat activists from public scorn.
Darn, never thought I might agree with Jesse Jackson on anything!!! but............guess I was wrong:-)
Strange world in which it is considered worse using the N word than saying one wants to mutilate someone.
BO sucks
A weasel??? Man that's harsh.
Couldn’t agree more. How can this not be newsworthy?
Talk about elitism!!
“Strange world in which it is considered worse using the N word than saying one wants to mutilate someone.”
My thoughts exactly.
Use of that particular word by whites is of course the Worst.Thing.Ever
Clinton supporters are also all over CNN. (I have not watched much of MSNBC.)
Cabel news must be getting ready to promote Hillary in 2012.
Ted Baxter?
This was a setup to make Barack look like a moderate.
Jesse took one for the team.
No way he would say those things in a broadcast studio in front of a “off air” mike.
Any person with any media savvy knows a mike is always on.
Minorities are allowed to use racial epithet.
Gotta keep the double standard you know.
“Strange world in which it is considered worse using the N word than saying one wants to mutilate someone.”
Yep. That’s the race-obsessed country we live in and it’s only going to get worse with Obama running and the possibility of him becoming POTUS.
I don’t think there is anything worse than having “the boys” removed with a knife. He said the “N” word? OH MY GOD!!!! Come to think of it, what exactly IS the “N” word. Nobody says.
BTTT
