>>Radio host Sean Hannity just revealed that FOX News is in possession of an exclusive tape of Reverend Jesse Jackson, recorded in a studio when he thought the microphone was off, slamming Barack Hussein Obama for “talking down to black people” on matters of faith among other issues.

Thought the mic was off...

Always some good moments...Bubba taking w/ Monica about Cuomo’s
“major mafia connections”, IIRC...

that kids’ show host saying “that oughta hold the little
bastards for the night”
etc...

hmm

I wonder why he apologized to Obama. Did he insult Obama? Or is it simply that Obama is the diety to whom one makes confessions?

In other news, Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH coalition has sued the microphone manufacturer for $13 million in damages, citing that the open microphone violated Rev. Jackson’s civil rights. Rev. Jackson has stated that he would be willing to sit down with the CEO of the microphone company and discuss having Rainbow/PUSH provide “diversity initiatives” to the company for a fee, in return for dropping the lawsuit.

And now, the sports...

“My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility,” Jackson said in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon.

So Jesse is mad that Barack suggests that blacks may have a hand in their current fate. When Jesse believes it is the "hidden hairy hand of the white man" who messes with black lives.

[Hidden hairy hand of the white man is Jesse's term from the past]

Sounds like Je$$e is trying to keep BO from running off the liberal plantation. Preaching personal reponsibility means you are WAY off the plantation and have practically made it to a free state to the likes of Je$$e.

This whole Obama thing is like a soap opera.

Both talks in Denver are sponsored by the Colorado Black Chamber of Commerce. Webb is the chamber’s president and CEO.

I don’t even need to know what was said.

Obama will proclaim he totally forgives Jackson’s comments, whatever they are, and the MSM and the Racial-hucksters will wet their pants with delight over Obama’s generosity and unity.

Someone needs to shake down Jesse for a lot of cash, make him go on national television and apologize to all "minorities" that he has hurt, and set up a multi-million dollar fund to pay reparations for his hurtful remarks.

Give him a taste of his own medicine.

He probably called him whitey

Jackson stated Obama was acting like a whitey back in November 2007. Today it had something to do with ripping off his nuts concerning religion, probably concerning the pastor Wright fiasco.

Hannity also intimated that Jackson says he wants to “rip Obama’s nuts off” on the tape.

Daaaaaamn. Yeah, that's just how I like my men of God talking about their alleged political contemporaries. Verrrrrry Christ-like, Revund Jah-hacksnnn.
