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

Unfortunately, I have to go to a meeting shortly, so I can’t observe for long. Hopefully Drudge will drop the story in the next few minutes.

I thought that was Little Richard?

Hmmm, Jesse did it too? Must’ve stolen the idea from Tutti Frutti.

According to Jackson, a Fox News microphone picked up comments he meant to deliver privately that seemed to disparage the presumptive Democratic nominee for appearing to lecture the black community on morality.

"Obama was hurting his relationship with black voters by recently conducting “moral” lectures at African-American churches."

This smells like a set-up

[ameagle]

That would be a no.

While many on the Right know what JJ is all about in regard to his race baiting, the average Joe don't see Jackson as Racist hating on whitey.

Rev Wright on the other hand always = RACIST.

This is a good thing and JJ shouldn't back down. He needs to tell Obama, “Yeah I said it punk...Whatchya gonna do, sick Farrakhan on me?

Hussein DOES talk down to the Black Church. Hussein DID sit in a racist ‘church’ for 20 years.

Don't back down Jesse. heh heh

WOLF BLITZER JUST SAID THEY CAN’T EVEN REPEAT IT ON THE AIR!!

Two stinky turds floating in the same bowl. How is one better? Any way ya look at things they still both are turds.

[KC Burke]

I especially will enjoy the broadcast if they go ahead and play the alleged part where Jackson says he would, “like to rip his n*ts off.”

REV. JESSE JACKSON APOLOGIZES TO SEN. BARACK OBAMA FOR ‘CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS’ CAUGHT BY OPEN MIC... CNN DESCRIBES AS ‘UGLY WORDS,’ ‘VERY, VERY DISPARAGING’; JACKSON IN ‘DEEP DISTRESS’... FOX NEWS IN POSSESSION OF TAPE AND WILL PLAY IN ENTIRETY TONIGHT ON ‘HANNITY AND COLMES’; OBAMA: NO COMMENT... DEVELOPING...

[mewzilla]

That’s it? Heck, that’s nothing. I was expecting something more shocking.

Yeah, I know. Hillie's sewer mouth was never news, and her foul language was far more objectionable. Ditto for Bubba. Go figure.

[Wallace T.]

I wouldn't put it past either of those tools to orchestrate some phony "incident."

That would be my guess as well. This may be Obama's "Sister Souljah" movement. He has been markedly moving away from leftist stances recently, showing respect for military field commanders, sounding like Bill Cosby in haranguing against irresponsibility among African Americans, and voting for FISA today. He may be more adept as such maneuvering than John Kerry, Al Gore, and Michael Dukakis were.

[TheWasteLand]

Hmm, but the devil is in the details methinks.

[dead]

Now Jesse has to hand over a bucket of money to Al Sharpton, just like white people do when they insult a black person.

[raccoonradio]

Jackson has made some controversial remarks about Jews in the past. This inspired a lyric in Frank Zappa’s “Rhymin’ Man”

A few years later, legend says,
Rhymin man made a run for prez
Farrakhan made him a clown,
Over there near hymie-town

[Unicorn]

Jessie just wants to be the head negro in the news.
