My opinion from the get go, a set up.
I agree. Can’t really explain why, but my gut reaction is “set up.” Jackson’s just too familiar with electronic media to make that kind of mistake.
Hillary-motivated?
Mine too. A complete setup. Who does obama need to win over to win the election? Blacks are solidly behind him and so are white uber libs. He needs white working class voter to win...and who would be most impressed with him if he had a tiff with Jesse Jackson? White working class voters, of course. With one little whispered aside barack has now seperated himself completely from the race bait industry that whites hate so much. Nice.
The Revvvrund and the other guy were both looking directly into the camera when he uttered those infamous words about castrating the presumptive 'Rat nominee. IMHO, this is just another way to make BHO look like he's 'above' the 'old racial politics': JJ knows how he's viewed by the majority of Americans, and he and Obama knew exactly how the ('conservative') media would play it.
And Bill O'Reilly took the bait: Obama now looks like the 'victim' in this whole affair. A brilliant move by the Obama campaign.
1. Jessee's whiney groveling foot kissing apology makes it seem like it is Jessee with the jewels in a vise. Ok, this actually supports your theory.
2. With BHO's recent flip flopping on everything, Jessee would have had a really hard time actually finding some to perform surgery on.
The only reason I doubt it, is because this was not good for Jackson’s reputation.
Set up. It sure has crossed my mind. It helps Obama flip flop flipping his way to the middle.
