"Any ideas why Hannity said “in its entirety?”

No, because according to O'reilly, the worst of it wasn't aired. Will it get leaked? Let's hope. :)

So are we being protected from hearing this? When Imus screwed up it was ALL over the news. Where is the audio???

Where indeed? Imus used the words "Nappy Hair" and he was crucified and fired from his job.

I would imagine if any person, other than Jackson, announced they wanted to chop off body parts of a Presidential candidate, the secret service would be paying that person a little visit.

We should demand they show the entire video. Maybe they were blackmailed (lol)

Since Fox is being condemned for illicitly recording this (blaming the messenger), how did the other networks acquire footage and audio that were the exclusive property of one network?

Internal leak or shared pool after the event?

I used to work with three black reverends. None of them had a congregation.

I worked with one white guy who was a Rev. too --- probably the biggest ass***e I ever met as well a major horn-dog too. I wouldn't let a female that I cared for within 100 yards of that jerk.

I think God must have a special place in hell for those kind of guys.

The Rev. Jackson has a dirty mouth. Imagine if a real religious person said that - the media would be enraged and never get off the guy’s back.

It had something to do with his ‘bottom’ half. He said he would cut his n___s off. (Think cashews, almonds, etc.)

Hey Media Slut!

Good call to Chris today. My babe had a 159 LSAT and graduated Summa from her undergrad. Went to at the time the #5 Law School in the country...happens to be around here. What did Nobama score? Transparency is not in the vocabulary of the MSM.

We’re told some of the comments are so raw that O’Reilly will most likely only run a couple of soundbites.

Good Lord, people!

Some have mentioned this as a possibility, but it should be obvious to all concerned here that THIS WAS AN ORCHESTRATED EVENT!

Follow me here. How many people who were inclined to vote for BO will now not vote for him because Jesse Jerkson said this? ANSWER: NONE.

But how many people who are on the fence about BO - who don't know much about him because he's such an unknown to most folks - will say: "Gee, if that &$%#&%@ Jesse Jackson doesn't like him, he must be ok!" ANSWER: PLENTY!

They both know this. Jesse's admirers are in Obama's camp come Hell or high water. Jesse could call Obama the AntiChrist and they'll still be voting BO. But those who see Jerkson for the sanctimonious sleazy scumbag that he is will look at his animosity as a big point in BO's favor.

O’REILLY: ‘We held back some of this conversation... we didn’t feel it had any relevance to the conversation this evening. We are not out to get Jesse Jackson. We are not out to embarrass him and we are not out to make him look bad. If we were, we would have used what we had, which is more damaging than what you have heard’...

Here’s an important question:

Does the Secret Service have any special focus or training or expertise to protect the “nuts” of a presidential candidate or a serving President?

Jesse Jackson has indicated a whole new line of attack on (male) candidates and Presidents.

Maybe this episode indicates that they need to worry about more than simply gun-wielding assassins...... /s


OBAMA: “I can no more disown Jesse Jackson that I can throw that castrating b***h of a white granny under the campaign bus! Both are part of me and part of our great nut-cutting nation!”

I read somewhere, need to research again, that out of 895 law school students at his Harvard Law School class, that Obama came out like 890 out of 895 in ranking. Need to research that further.

.... and then they call Presdient Bush ‘dumb as a doornail’, when in fact his SAT scores to enter Harvard were higher than Al Bore’s!
