Rev Jackson shows his class again

[rah]

Has there been a thread on this already. If not, I can't believe it. Or are all our staunch Democrats embarassed by the lastest, another black man attacks Obama.

I've always known the Rev was a self serving hypocritical ass, but his lastest has proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I even love how everyone is accepting his most fake apology trying to minimize any damage.

All in all, pretty damn hilarious. What a bitter old man.

This was straight out a West Wing episode.

Jesse is a pud and, as it turns out, an idiot. Unbelievable that someone so media-savvy would say something like that in a TV studio. "I didn't know it was a live mic." -- AS IF!!!!!

When your own son repudiates you, you know you've really screwed up.

I was under the impression that no one here gave a damn about Jesse Jackson.

I assume you're referring to this bit, which I cut from Wikipedia:

On July 6, 2008, during a news interview an open microphone picked up Jackson whispering, "See, Barack's been talking down to black people ... I want to cut his nuts off", in regards to the Democratic presidential candidate, but he later apologized for his remarks and reiterated his support for Obama.

Or has he said something even dumber recently?

[-Jrabbit]

No, that's the one.

I'm cool with this. It shows Jesse Jackson is a down to earth kind of guy who speaks like a real person.

[rah]

Naw, it shows he an old bitter idiot.

I can't imagine Jesse Jackson saying anything more helpful to Obama. I mean, you almost have to ponder whether it was set up. It wasn't, I know, but I mean, come on...

I don't see how this could be helpful. As useless as the Rev can be, there are still quite a few blacks that hold him in high esteem and would do anything he asked.

maybe not cut off Obama's balls, but pretty much anything else.

If you were to have your balls cut off for talking down to Black people, Jesse Jackson would've been talking at a distinctly higher pitch all these years.

And how about talking down to non-Black people? I suppose that's ok in the view of the Right Moronic Mr. Jackson..

Excellent point, Winston.

What damage? Looks like Jackson did Obama a ton of good.

Have you ever seen a black person before in person? I'm just curious.

That's an entirely unrelated but equally true assessment.

Rah - amongst white people, this will play well, I think. Jesse Jackson is, as you might know, not terribly well-liked in that particular demographic. Him ripping Obama (for essentially stating the obvious) is a positive. As for black people, the comments I've been seeing online about this are generally along the lines of "I appreciate what Jesse did and all, but gosh he's a bit of a relic at this point."
