Jackson used racial epithet [in FNC interview]

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."

Excellent Point.

O’Reilly is critical of rapper Ludacris for using the n-word.

O’Reilly protects Jesse Jackson for using the n-word.

O’Reilly equals = hypocrite.

BOR defending himself on Greata saying weasel many times, still mad some weasel leaked a video of him throwing a fit not very long ago.

I don’t see where your link proves anything. Care to help me out. If I’m wrong I’ll tell you so.

Quite honestly, I think that Bill O'Reilly is the weasel in this scene. The usage of the n-word has destroyed prominent politicians in recent history and to give the biggest racist in our time a pass on its usage is unbelievable. Mr O'Reilly ought to look in the mirror and say the word weasel multiple times......

***The top-rated cable anchor said he doesn't know who leaked it, but quipped: “I have the waterboard over here. ... We'll find out.”***

Jackson and Obama are ultra-libs and it's very telling how far Fox “News” will go to hide any negative news concerning the libs.

"We made a decision to hold back a remark that ... would have put Jackson in a worse position," O'Reilly said. "We don't want to hurt Jesse Jackson.

Or rather that Faux News doesn't want to get hurt BY the Revnum Jaxon. I smell another jesse-style shakedown of Faux News.

“I can categorically deny that Fox News Channel is in possession of a tape containing the alleged statement supposedly made by Reverend Jackson.”

That apparently is not true.

Really makes you wonder, now, after all this spinning, whether the "Whitey" thing by Mrs. Obama really does exist after all, does it not?

[Responsibility2nd]

Correct. What I don’t understand is why BOR “covered up” the details of Jackson calling Obama a N****r.

[ProfoundMan]

You know folks, I must differ with many of you who think that Fox is somehow the rat here (pun intended). Think about it - if Fox had rolled this out in one fell swoop the MSM and lefty bloggers would have screamed to high heaven and used it as "yet another example of Fox's bias". Who knows, this could have easily become the clarion call for the Fairness Doctrine to apply to Fox as well as conservative talk. In their twisted world who knows what it could have morphed into. Can you imagine the legions of "sound analysts" and "video editors" who would swear night after night of the absolute certainty of the tape's inauthenticity? It would rival the death of JFK Jr. in sheer volume alone.

This way, Fox is really an unwilling accomplice in the "outing" of Rev. Jesse for the blatant racist that he is and Fox lives to fight another day. In all, a good outcome whether Fox did it intentionally or not, don't ya think?

Simple. BOR, in his infinite wisdom is really a weasel in disguise.......

[ApplegateRanch]

God bless weasels...if it was really a weasel, and not a ferret.

[popdonnelly]

I think the weasels are the people at Fox who decided to keep this secret. They’re supposed to be journalists.

[Sender]

I remember one hilarious conversation some years back with a black female rap artist who was known to use the “N word” quite frequently in both her music and in conversation. When the interviewer called her on it and asked her why she can use this word but whites cannot, she launched into a technical defense (delivered in a, you know, like, rap dialect) which claimed that it was OK because blacks and rappers pronounce it “ni**az”, which is like, you know, no big, its not racist, it’s just common everyday speech, whereas whites pronounce it “ni**ers”, which is like, you know, like the worst f*ing thing in the world, its slavery man, it’s lynching. Go figure.

[ApplegateRanch]

Come to think of it, what exactly IS the “N” word. Nobody says.

I'm not certain either, but judging from the Imus Incident, I'd have to say it's "nappy-headed".

Hope I'm not banned for using such terrible language on a family forum.

[popdonnelly]

“Why not just release the tape and let the truth out?”

Fox News is intimidated by Jackson.

[xkaydet65]

Why should BOR do the haloed one's work for him. All of this is designed to make the haloed one more acceptable to those Hillary whites. People who over the years have despised Jackson and his racial huckstering and extortion may see this attack on the haloed one as proof of the haloed one's acceptability. At the very least he is a victim of intolerance and bigotry and that is his goal. To unite as many Americans under the umbrella of victimhood. All of this is a ploy and it would not surprise me if the Rev. Jesse is a willing player.

Just a note, the original leak about Jesse' comments, beyond the cut nut stuff, came on KISS-97 in NYC. On a well connected weekend talk show. Hosted by three very well connected members of the Black community. Once it became clear BOR and FOX were taking the high road the story was fading until it reappeared with new info on KISS. The only people who should be ticked at BO are the haloed one's people who planned this. BOR and Roger Ailes did not play the roles they were assigned.

[TheWasteLand]

Fox News is intimidated by Jackson.

Aww, nuts.

[mylife]

You may be correct about motive but I still dislike BO

[popdonnelly]

Let me qualify that. The biggest weasel is Jesse Jackson, who is supposedly a “civil rights” leader, for trashing a black man who is a Presidential candidate. Good one, Jesse. Now we know what a phoney you really are. No more corporate money for you.
