Rev. Jackson Trash Talks Obama
Drudge Report ^ | 7/9/08 | Drudge

Posted on 07/09/2008 2:01:47 PM PDT by Roberts

REV. JESSE JACKSON APOLOGIZES TO OBAMA FOR 'CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS' CAUGHT ON TAPE... FOXNEWS WILL PLAY IN ENTIRETY TONIGHT ON 'O'REILLY' 8 PM ET... OBAMA: NO COMMENT... DEVELOPING...

Statement: For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama_s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.

_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.

_That was the context of my private conversation and it does not reflect any disparagement on my part for the historic event in which we are involved or my pride in Senator Barack Obama, who is leading it, whom I have supported by crisscrossing this nation in every level of media and audience from the beginning in absolute terms._

Obama will “forgive” anything as long as he can negotiate his way into the White House. And the people supporting him will “forgive” any disparaging remark made ABOUT him (if the remark comes from the Left), as long as they can get Obama into the White House. This is only the beginning.....

Are they fried? Denver isn’t allowing any fried foods at the convention.

Calling Uncle Jeremiah, Barry please unbind and ungag your Uncle and let him publicly broker a peace between you and Jesse. Black America needs to see you three giants of African American leadership standing together in unity and peace.

LOL between Jackson and Sharpton doing the reverse gear - their dancing slippers must be worn down at the heels!

This is a blatant, transparent and phony effort to separate Obama from the Rev. Wright/Jesse Jackson wing of the black community.

Obama will get 99% of the black vote anyway--so this is a planned appeal to independent and middle-of-the-road voters.

Blatantly transparent, bogus, and incredibly phony.

"hot mic private conversation"...

Is the, uh, Rev'run Thacksuuuunnnnnn buggering kidding me?

Isn't the first rule of politics that any microphone is hot and connected to lots of listening devices, whether it is or not?

Ok, the third rule...the first two rules of politics are to get elected and to get reelected. My bad.

It’s a set up.

Why do I think so?

- As Clintons pointed out earlier, Obama needs to prove he is not Jesse Jackson
- Jackson’s political career is done already, he’s got nothing to lose
- What would work better than getting dissed by Jackson?
- Obama can be painted to be the bigger man by forgiving him.
- MSM will go overboard to proclaim Obama a “uniter.”
- Funny how the tape got so quickly to Hannity - Jackson, Sharpton, etc... worst enemy.

You be the judge.

I really don’t think a man of Jackson’s strong moral fiber would refer to that part of a man’s anatomy as “nuts”. He probably said Buster Browns.

If you are not black you do not understand the lingo and it is racist for you to try and interpret it.

The race pimp speaks. Can Race Pimp no. 2 -- Sharpton -- be far behind?

You mean, the Just-Us (Justice, for those in Rio Linda) Brothers?
