woah...this is a big one. Jesse Jackson thought the mic was off when he was being interviewed by FoxNews today.. He said Obama should stop talking down to black people. And also said in regards to Obama - wants to "cut his n*ts off". He thought he was off camera..but he wasnt. Talk about a career ending comment.
It'll be aired on O'reilly factor tonight. I never watch that show...but will be tonight.
REV. JACKSON TRASH TALKS OBAMA: 'CUT HIS N**S OUT'
Wed Jul 09 2008 16:28:20 ET
SHOCK: REV. JESSE JACKSON SLAMS OBAMA, WANTS TO 'CUT HIS N**S OUT'... APOLOGIZES FOR 'CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS' CAUGHT ON TAPE... FOXNEWS WILL PLAY JACKSON TAPE IN ITS ENTIRETY TONIGHT ON 'O'REILLY' 8 PM ET/5 PM PT... DEVELOPING...
Jackson 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._
I wish these "voices of the black people(Al and Jesse)" would shut the **** up already. They always stick their noses in places that they don't belong.
He's just mad that he didn't make it as far as Obama when he ran for president, so he feels the need to talk down on him.
Hopefully this will blow over easy. Obama should not say anything about it.

omg...he is so screwed. Just saw it...he didnt say it in a joking manner either.... Hand gesture as well.... bad....very bad for him... Probably on YouTube already.
I feel bad for Obama in a way.. the FNC (republican news channel) has been thriving for a moment like this to throw dirt on Obama.
Didn't something like this happen not so long ago? I'm thinking Hilary had something to do with that one.
I doubt anything huge will come of this, at least in regards to politics. Maybe we will see a few parodies and hear the media asking stupid question related to it, but it wont really "relate" to the election.

lol, I caught it on OReilly too. I like how he introduces it "for clarity's sake". It's a non-issue at the end of the day. But still pretty funny to see Jesse Jackson get pwnt.
Jesse should've just said "I meant Osama, not Obama".
