The real question here is what kind of scheme is this.
Nothing coming from Jackson can be taken at face value. And nobody should fall for the “whoops, I didn’t know the microphone was on” line anymore—it’s only a fraud used to make the person appear to be speaking what they really believe.
Every time this microphone stunt appears, the first thing to do is doubt it. The rest is speculation.
Possibly Jackson is trying to help Obama by making him seem, in the eyes of white voters, to be at odds with hard core black activists.
In a war of raging power hungry liberals, they are tearing themselves apart.
Their loose knit coalition has covered for one another too long. And they are muttering things under their breath.
NONE of their actions will sway anyone to vote for Barack Hope Obama but they might make a few people jump ship and vote for someone else (McCain-RINO or third party) or stay home.
