Jesse Jackson Wants a Seinfeld Boycott for Kramer Tirade --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Jim Roberts Nov 28, 2006

That didn't take long. Jesse Jackson is now heavily involved in the racist rant put forth by Michael Richards aka 'Kramer' from the popular '90's hit television sitcom Seinfeld. Richards went on Jesse Jackson's nationally syndicated radio program, "Keep Hope Alive," as a part of a series of apologies for the incident over the weekend.

Jesse Jackson Wants a Seinfeld Boycott for Kramer Tirade

Jackson, has called Richards' words "hateful," "sick," and "deep-seated, and for once in his life jess Jackson is right.

***

Of course that didn't last long as Jackson then called for a boycott of the Seinfeld DVD set that went on sale last week to protest Richards' racial tirade at a comedy club in Los Angeles last week.

Yes - that will really solve something.

***

Richards, who played Jerry Seinfeld's wacky neighbor Kramer on the TV sitcom "Seinfeld," was performing at West Hollywood's Laugh Factory last week when he lashed out at hecklers with a string of racial obscenities and profane language. A cell phone video camera captured the outburst, and the incident later appeared on TMZ.com.

Richards told Jackson the tirade was fueled by anger, not bigotry. He said he wanted to hurt those who had hurt him.

"I was in a place of humiliation," he said.

***

Hard to say what should happen to Richards. He has really no career and has been unable to sustain the Seinfeld momentum. But moving to Jesse Jackson for healing was a huge error as Jackson will want to make it about the person he cares most about.

Jesse Jackson.

Jesse Jackson is a lazy, unproductive, immoral, lying, trash-talking person.

I wish there was a one-word description for that sort of person, but I can't imagine what it would be.

Since it was discontinued years ago, I doubt that anyone is going to pay Jesse to shut up.

LOL! First thought I had when I saw the headline.

There's really no excuse for what Richards did at all. However, Jesse Jackson is a complete slimeball. And it has nothing to do with his pigment.

Boycott a TV show that went off the air almost a decade ago? Sheesh.

I suppose boycotting the Seinfeld DVD is a double bonus for Jacksnnn. He can punish Richards for saying the nword and screw a bunch of jews like Seinfeld and Larry David at the same time.
