Jesse should be sentenced to six sessions on the Don Imus show.

I’m thinking Obama isn’t ‘black enough’ for the likes of Jesse, Al, and the other race pimps.

This is all orchestrated. Obama is playing the game that even bad publicity is good publicity. He did some interview with his family and now they are pretending there's controversy about that.

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

O'Reilly aired it at 8 PM and Hannity aired the same clip again when he came on at 9PM.

They didn't air the tape in its entirety though, according to O'Reilly. He told Dennis Miller that they deliberately didn't show the worst of it as would have been much more damaging.

Rush and Shanklin are probably working overtime tonight on the Jackson/Obama parody tune in time for the show tomorrow. :)

Rev. Al Calls Obama

Rev. Al Still Protesting Obama

I don’t see anything in this that indicates Jackson’s remarks were staged to help Obama. Nice to know how Jackson really feels.

I see it as a sign of a fracture within the AA community.
He had everyone wowed during the primaries but his condescending(in JJ’s eyes)speeches and the Rev. Wright controversy will hurt him a little.
I have been encouraged by anecdotal evidence from AA friends/co-workers of mine. Smart black men and women know that the emperor has no clothes.
Osama will no doubt carry the day by historical margins when it comes to support within the community but I don’t think the average person who doesn’t care about politics will be motivated enough to GOTV for Obama.
He’s not the real deal.
In addition, I think that any time the drive-by media is distracted away from clawing at McCain for a day or two, it is a very good thing.

I’m stunned the good reverand would say such a thing.

Reverand.......that’s the biggest joke of all.

Look back a few years ago when BHO ran against JJ Jr for a Chi congress seat and you will find consistency along the lines of "that carpet bagging mulatto Barack cannot represent the black community like a real black JJ jr can.

Naah. Barry Obama will get 99% of the AA vote. And this is a big deal over absolutely nothing.

Now if Jesse would have called Obama an Uncle Tom or something that would be different.

Any ideas why Hannity said “in its entirety?”

Perhaps, but this sentiment is nothing new.

Yep - the eyes are weaving around, as if to purposefully look mischevious.

And whoever the guy is sitting next to him, grunting in acquiescence at every quip made by Jesse.

It’s like something out of a movie.
