Before a TV interview began with Reid Tuckson from the United Healthcare Group, Rev. Jesse Jackson's microphone was live and caught Jackson commenting that Obama "talks down to black people". Jackson also said he wanted to cut out a particular part of Obama's anatomy.
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’...
Thanks. But there is more to the tape, right?
Well,that sounds kinda "mean-spirited".
This the way the shakedown guys negotiate.
I bet Hannity is screaming his head off. He lost the scoop.
He can get it back if he shows the entire tape :-D
I am not celebrating this. This can only HELP Obama BIG TIME with white voters. The Right should play this WAY down.
It’s a scam. It was done intentionally. It’s Obama’s Sister Souljah moment- without the risk. Jackson made the comments for the sole purpose of showing Obama isn’t beholden to the looney black racist part of the Dem party. This gives the noble Obama a chance to pontificate on race and how he’s going to bring us all together while at the same time he’ll forgive Jackson, as well. It’s 100% phony baloney.
he said his F’ning nuts off.....listen and also watch his lips....that was cleaned up
Please expand,I’m interested on your insight.
You’re right. Jackson is playing the part of Sister Soulja.
Long before this BO madness got out of hand, Rush had kind of said the WORST thing in the world for the Jacksons, Sharptons and the other race pimps was for BO to do well in his bid for the presidency as it would more than likely put the race pimps out of business
I was busy making popcorn. what’d I miss?
“We held back some of this conversation...”
We’re not entitled to hear what Jesse Jackson said?
“I bet Hannity is screaming his head off. He lost the scoop.”
To Fox News’ resident dimwit, O’Reilly.
There will always be a place for someone to play the hustler role, it is just that Jesse Jackson’s power grip would become feeble. His day would be gone (40 years on the map is a good ride).
Have to wonder how many other “gaffes” have been censored by fellow travellers on the Left. This isn’t the REVEREND Jesse Jackson’s first slip up.
“It’s a scam.”
I don’t think so. He thought it was a dead mike. How are you going to perpetrate a scam by talking into a dead mike. And he’s whispering, so he apparently didn’t want to be heard by anyone in the studio.
