REV. JESSE JACKSON APOLOGIZES TO SEN. BARACK OBAMA FOR 'CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS' CAUGHT BY OPEN MIC... DEVELOPING...

[Americanwolf]

It is terrible by CNN standards because a media darling of theirs is attack the Golden Boy of the left...They cannot decide whom to be more offended for

[weegee]

Jesse Jacksonson? Which one?

[GunRunner]

Yeah Jesse, apologize......

[weegee]

(k)nuckles?

So Jesse is in trouble for using a n-word?

[NeoCaveman]

After all, Obamessiah ain’t got no blood...

And he's not down for the struggle....

[weegee]

Just for a laugh I'd love to hear the good reverend Jackson pronounce “unequivocal”

Wonder who they can blame this one on?

[Nasher]

The messiah admitted making a mistake in granting an interview with the whole family:

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

CNN interviewed Jackson about it a few min ago but said the remarks were so crude they couldn't play them.

[synbad600]

". . . lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility."

How many millions of dollars have been spent on those lacks of choices?

[Miss Didi]

They were commenting on how Barry is already being referred to as President Obama. I was merely pointing out how well it worked for Mrs. Clinton when she stated—when I am president again. Dig?

[SeafoodGumbo]

Of course, it will look like less of a setup if Jackson calls him some nice nasty names, ones with bite.

If the cutting off his nuts with the black community statement is what he said, it doesn't sound like he said anything too awful -- bad enough to be embarrassing and create an "incident," but not bad enough to really make him look too horrible.

Neither of these fine, upstanding American patriots could possibly do something so conniving, though. I think I need more diversity classes for even thinking such a thought.

[Jen from Tn.]

thanks....I will watch

[MEG33]

OH NO! JESSE IS IN DEEP DISTRESS!

[Fundamentally Fair]

Being the gentle southern lady that I am, I will go no further.

Awwww nuts! Why won't you tell us?

[TommyDale]

The “Reverend” uses some street gutter language... shame on the “Reverend” for saying such a thing! And caught on tape! LOL!

[al_c]

When shall we expect his apology for all the times he’s insulted Bush?

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[bannie]

Probably just “so crude” that they WOULDN’T play ‘em.

They’d rather hide the soundbite than have it echoing in the ears of the foolish, childish public. WE might not understand it “correctly,” donchaknow.

Methinks the “Rev” needs diversity and sensitivity training.

“NBC must choose between Imus and the rest of us,” said The Rev. Jesse Jackson ...

“This was not a slip of the lip,” Jackson said outside the Tower. “This was a conversation ... (and) corporate sponsors have a role to play in not sponsoring these acts of racial bigotry.” ...

“All day, all night, all white,” Jackson said. “It does not represent the diversity of the American culture.”
