In Case You Haven't Heard…
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
Jesse Jackson said he wanted to cut Barack Obama's "nuts out".
As we mentioned previously, Jackson said some 'crude' stuff into a Fox News mic he didn't realize was 'on'.
The nuts comment is indeed totally crude!
Also, Rev J apparently doesn't like the way Obama talks down to black people.
During the 'reveal', Fox News talk star Bill O'Reilly noted that Fox actually held back and didn't air the entire Jackson tirade.
We were a bit floored!
Fox practiced discretion?!????
The Reverend apologized before the exact comments went public.
But, we all really know how he feels now!

It has been so obvious for a long time that Jessie Jackson is JEALOUS of Barack Obama, plain and simple…..
Oreilly is an asshole
Douchebag.always was.is.and will be!
Re: Crime – AMEN to that !!!
Jesse Jackson is an asshole who has no credibility anymore!!
DICAPRIO'S A JUNK-MAILER Too
LEONARDO DiCaprio loves to bang the drum about the importance of saving the planet - but he's wasting plenty of trees to get his message out.
In March, The Post reported how the "Blood Diamond" star so hated unsolicited, paper-wasting pitches showing up in his mailbox, he and fellow environmentalist Adrian Grenier joined a movement to establish a national "Do Not Mail Registry." The campaign, spearheaded by environmental group ForestEthics, urges Americans to sign a petition demanding the government make it possible for citizens to ban junk mail, much as telephone cold-callers were stopped with 2003's "Do Not Call Registry."
So he sends out a mailer!
Inside the envelope were a one-page pitch letter from DiCaprio and a two-page pitch letter from NRDC president Frances Beinecke; a flyer for a free "Save the Polar Bear!" tote bag; a donation form/petition to the secretary of the interior, urging him to protect the polar bear as an endangered species; and a return envelope.
"I wonder if Leo knows he's part of the paper problem. He was among the 'green' celebs criticized last year for flying around in private jets," Recchia points out.
Fox didn't practice discretion. They would have practiced genuine discretion had they not mentioned that there was more audio footage that was even worse than what they were putting on the air. What they did was build the listeners' imagination so that the absolute worst would still be possible in their own minds as they tried to figure out "what could he have possibly said that would have been so bad?"
.
I mean, think about it: compare if I had said "Perez said so many bad things, but I don't want to humiliate him so I'm only going to let you listen to some of it" and "Perez said he wanted to cut some guys nuts out." Which leaves you feeling more shocked? The latter makes you think "oh, is that ALL?" The former leaves your imagination to run wild.
.
Fox was very clever in how they handled this.
jesse is jealous
im black but black people get on my nerves!!!!!!
THE REV NEEDS TO FIND A NEW CAUSE, LIKE HOMELESS ANIMALS OR SOMETHING!
I THINK IT IS FUNNY THAT AFTER 8 YEARS OF AN AWFUL PRESIDENT THE US IS CONSIDERING SOMEONE THAT PHOTOGRAPHS GREAT BUT HAS NO EXPERIENCE OTHER THAN BEING A COMMUNITY - another word for ghetto - LEADER. SHOULDN'T AMERICA BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS THE EXPERIENCE TO CLEAN - UP THE MESS THAT GEORGE BUSH CREATED???
JUST ASKING?
he's just jealous… and anyway, barack doesn't talk 'down' to anyone; it is jesse j. who over-simplifies everything as if black folks can't understand basic shit (not to mention the fact that he uses words he himself does not understand)… i don't like him and i wish he would get a REAL job.
fox news is amazing. perez is not. jesse jackson is amazing. obama is not.
jesse jackson, al sharpton - they are both racist against white people and are ruining this country. who even cares what jesse jackson has to say anyways…i wish they aired all of it and people could see how hypocritical these assholes are - if this were a white person who said this, jesse jackson amd al sharpton would be flipping out!! double standards and hypocrites -
jesse jackson is probably the most fake man alive. he constantly talks about racism, yet hes racist against his own race (?)

Uh-huh…of course…the credibilty issue here is astounding.
Obama is embarrassed that Americans go to France and can't speak French.
would like to remind everyone, that 10,000 young Americans died on D-day at places like Normandy and Utah Beach, doubt many could speak much French, but gave their lives so French people could continue speaking French and not German. Obama truly needs some history classes. He thought his grandfather liberated Aushwitz in Germany, aides had to tell him, that Aushwitz is in Poland and was liberated by the Russians! His family history is a little "fuzzy" to him as well.
Jesse Jackson is and has always been an ignorant buffoon. He is a cheating hypocrite. And he doesn't speak for or represent black people, he speaks for himself. Obama gives a speech that calls on his own people to be better, for men to take responsibility for their children and to stop abandoning other black women. He also encouraged us to improve ourselves and pursue education. All valid things that needed to be said
However Jesse Jackson is offended by this. He is a part of ignorant black culture than encourages us to blame others for our woos. To continue eaking out an existence at the bottom of the totem pole. And to live in our ancestors past and not in our own present or strive for a better future. Sorry but Jesse Jackson is not relevant.
They are all complete assholes. Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpon, etc. They practice the most extreme form of hypocritcy. We want equal treatment! We want to be treated like everyone else! But they very successfully decriminate themselves by shinning a huge flood light on anything that can be remotely construed as racist. Oh Don Imus called some girls nappy headed hos. Well, what if Don called them a bunch of white trash. Would you be outraged there, Al..Jessie? No, not at all. Some of these black leaders are the most decriminatory people I have ever met. And I am black.
Jesse Jackson is an idiot. Obama said what needed to be said. He was absolutely right. People need to take care of their damn kids. Point blank. Period. Jackson is just pissed he couldn't achieve half of what Obama has achieved.
i agree w/ fellow commenter Batgi, jessie jackson is just jealous…
jessie jackson= Hater
I think one should consider the source. Obama doesn't need Jesse Jackson's endorsement. Mr. Jackson is a classless man and it doesn't matter what his color is…he is just trying to get someone to listen to anything he has to say. Move on, Jesse Jackson! America could care less about you!
Interesting…a few years ago he called NYC "Hymietown" and that was so easily forgiven…he didn't know the mic was on. A slight to Jews everywhere and that's okay. But Imus (who I don't like at all) says "nappy heads" and he's crucified. There's a double standard here. And here we are again…he spouts inappropriate commentary and he's "so sorry". No, he's just sorry he didn't realize the mic was still on and that he got caught (again)!
Re: INEXP – ummm you do know that he is in the Senate right? And "ghetto" leader? That is o so sad. I would be embarassed to speak if I were you. Ignorant and quite sad.
He thinks obama is talking down to black people???
The man who's whole campaign is about spreading equality?
WHAT A DUMB ASS
Re: Mia – nicely said!
Okay Obama is right. We should take care of our kids. I am voting for OBAMA. I voted for Hillary but since she didn't make it and is backing Obama. Dam where was he years ago…
Well said "Geng"! I couldn't have spelled it out any better… Jesse Jackson is such a racist and a biggot. Anytime you say the word "racist" people automatically assume its against a certain race or denomination. Caucasians see just as much hatrid/venom towards them, moreso today and it's only getting worse.
The fact that people even care what comes out of Jesse's un-educated mouth is astounding to me.
Is he a Reverend??? He's a fake reverend with 10 faces !!!! He's mean,jealous, hungry to climb up,up in politics-no matter what !!!! Selfish and STUPID-why he's talking Shit behind everybody ???? If he thinks he's right-tell them in their face !!! He's the most FAKE leader man I know,with a bastard child promoting correctness !!!!! Oh,my !!!! Anyway, G O D Will take care of him soon.
This is hopefully the end of Obama
WHAT DOES JESSE JACKSON MEAN BY ”HE TALKS DOWN TO BLACK PEOPLE”?
DOES HE MEAN BARACK ENUNCIATES HIS WORD WHILE SPEAKING?
BARACK DOESNT USE THE GHETTO SLOP LANGUAGE THAT JESSE AND SHARPTON USE? IS THAT IT?
I hate Jesse Jackson…he is the one talkin down to black people. He is the one who needs his balls cut. Like are you serious? I feel so bad for Obama because people hate him so much. Why is there no hate for McCain? I really wish Obama and his family the best because this is certainly getting out of hand. OBAMA O8! I STAND BEHIND YA OBAMA FAM!
Who gives a crap what color someone is? It's people like him that are setting these dividing lines between us…
Re: amy – I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels that way, I loathe Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They are so quick to jump down and white person who may or may not say something to their dislike.
I always knew how this racist Rev. Jackson felt, and his statements are no surprise to most people! He's a racist pig.
Obama is just accepting the apology because he doesn't want to turn away the black votes!
Jesse Jackson is JEALOUS because Obama is taking all the credit as the first African American to run for president when years ago Jesse tried but failed because he is just another piece of S****. He is such a hypocrite!!! As a reverend he should know better than to be using that language, I'm glad his OWN SON was disgusted by his comment.
THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER
HERE COMES THE DOUBLE STANDARD
WHEN WHITEY SAYS SOMTHING POSSIBLY , REMOTELY RACIST
JESSIE IS THE FIRST ONE TO GET UP ON HIS SOAP BOX
AND CONDEM IN THE NATIONAL MEDIA , AND MAKE THEM DO A NATIONAL IM SORRY TOUR . WHEN DOES HIS START ???????????
reading this whole saga…reminds me of gay guys slaging off other gay guys that are doing well….i have know particular interest in t.r.knight but every time i see him on this site he is being derided for being in 'love' who are we to judge!!!!don't we all want to be in love????!!!….so conversly maybe jesse james is 'taking the piss' out of obama cause he doesn;t want to see any other man of color be president if he can't????!!!!!
he has a habit of saying horribly offensive things before elections, doesn't he?
remember when he called new york "hymie town"?
And why do I get the feeling that if a prominent GOP member said this, he/she would be crucified in the media to an extent that Jackson has not experienced?
I have been saying it for months, these people do not support Obama because he is going to bring good to the U.S. Presidency. All these ignorant people are supporting this do nothing smooth talking man because of how he makes them feel, not because of his views or accomplishments. Why in the world are these people voting & supporting someone so ignorantly? Why not use your vote intelligently & vote for someone based on experience, intelligence, honor, & their track record!!! This racist candidate, Obama is making promises his ass can't keep. He has been planning on being president for a long time & he is changing his positions on issues daily depending on the crowd he is addressing wants to hear. He has ZERO experience, has not passed or even co-sponsored one bill in the senate & had exactly 143 days in the senate before he decided to run for the presidency!!! Wake the fuck up America and educate yourself about this mans past, you will be quite shocked at all the positions, flip flops, and & lack of accomplishments this man has really had. Be informed when voting, don't vote on emotion, look where that has gotten us!!!
Jesse Jackson is jealous of Barack…plain & simple. But Perez, don't rip on FOX new just because you are a liberal jag off.
Are you joking Perez? I'm a bit surprised. Stop knocking Fox as they were the only network, cable or broadcast that was fair to your perezious Hillary. Every other media outlet raked the woman over the proverbial "hot coals." Even Bill O'Reilly gave Hill a fair interview.
I love your website and find your illustrations on top of photos highly entertaining but, at times I find it annoying when your political views are touted so fervently. I know it is a major election year and all but, sometimes it get's to be a bit much.
Re: cp – NO SWEETIE HE'S ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL HE'S NOT IN THE SENATE AND BY THE WAY WHAT HAS HE ACCOMPLISHED??? WAITING WHILE YOU THINK. OH YEAH HIS MAIN INCOME CAME FROM A BOOK AND WHO GAVE HIM THE TITLE OF THE BOOK ? WONDERFUL AND FAIR REV. WRIGHT. ANOTHER LEADER OF "THE COMMUNITY". WHEN BLACKS STOP GUNNING THEIR OWN (AND MINE) DOWN ON A DAILY BASIS THEN WE'LL TALK.
Jackson is just jelous, people like Obama
bcs he has genuine heart… he means well.
I'm white, and i'm voting for Obama…. enough of this war bullshit just to get black gold. Rich people r getting richer, poor people r getting even more screwed, middle class is poor now. And not to mention how many of our soldiers died, fathers-brothers… etc. I'm sure none of Bushs family is in Iraq, fighting… Go OBAMA!
Jesse Jackson should NEVER talk about family values EVER because I hate to remind Jesse but didn't he have an affair and had a bastard child while still married to his wife?
Obama was married to his wife for 6 years before having his daughters,which doesn't make Michelle a baby mama;he is living his family values;not preaching it and doing something else.He's talking of experience since his own father was a no-show and he no matter how long he is away on the campaign trail makes time for his wife and kids unlike Jesse.
Hate his politics or not one has got to give B Obama his dues when it comes down to living his marriage to the fullest unlike some…
as for the likes of Jesse and perm haired Al;Mother fucker please!
Shut up about Fox news and republicans. ENOUGH. I never thought I'd want Hillary, but she is 10 times the human Obama is.
Jesse Jackson worked for CNN news for years. I'm shocked if he didn't know he was wearing a hot mic, especially since he's been "caught" before with a hot mic on the "hymietown" statment. It's not as if he were ambushed. I'm more inclined to believe that he chose to ignore the mic in an effort to insure that everyone knew what his agenda is in an sensationalist story. And as for Fox not airing the entirety of the footage, I'm not buying that for a second. If he did say something that couldn't be aired, it was probably not about Obama and therefore of no interest to Fox News.
Re: Rhond – BRILLIANT!!!!! Thank you!
Of course the "great" Rev. Jackson doesn't want to see Obama win. Obama winning would really hurt Jessie's whole "the white man keeping the black man down" schtick.
In my opinion, the reasons that both Revs. Jackson and Wright are up in arms over Obama is because he actually has a shot at winning the presidency in the 2008 election, and if Obama is voted to be President, it will contradict all the propaganda that the Revs. have preached about inequality, racism and the belief that "a black man will never be President." If Obama becomes President, what will they preach about while up in their respective pulpits?
Jesse Jackson is the most racist man ever. Fox News rocks because it actually tells the truth without an extremely liberal slant like the rest of the media.
Yet, another person thrown under the bus of the Mighty Barack Obama. Is any African American allowed to say ANYTHING negative about this guy? Anyone? Obama even had Jesse's own son come out denouncing his father, just so that Obama could come out and take the high road. Please! Barack Obama disgusts me. (And, no, I'm not a McCain supporter or a Hillary supporter…just a disgusted American.)
SOMEONE NEEDS TO CUT HIS NUTS OFF
Jesse J is a jealous azzhole. He never had a chance at the whitehouse because he is so darn ignorant now he is doing everything in his little power to discredit Obama. Why does he not like Obama…cause he doesn't go around rhyming like a coon idiot as he does all the time? Screw Jesse..he is a media whore.
OBAMA '08!
if Jackson is dissn barack, more reason for me to vote for him
Jasckson is a Prejudice mo fo
Jesse Jackson is an asshole. I live in Chicago and am friends with a lot of local police and he shows up anytime there's been a shooting involving a black person. It's become kind of a joke among them that the quickest way to shut the "Reverend" up is turn off the cameras. Also,, earlier this week Jackson wrote a column in the Chicago Sun Times praising Obama. This is nothing more than jealousy, plain and simple. I've actually met Jesse Jackson, he had a family member in the same hospital as my Mother and I was out having a smoke. He pulled up in a literal convoy of black SUV's, a huge entourage, etc… I stood there and really wanted to ask him exactly what the fuck it is he does for a living?
And I would bet my daughter that FOX will ride the shit out of this "story". Hannity is already all over it, and I'm sure O'Reilly will be too. I'm sure they think it might be enough to hurt Obama's standing with the black vote. And the "discretion" they showed was bleeping out ONE WORD.
The "Rev" is such a two-faced loser. All the time he was preaching about fidelity he had his own out-of-wedlock baby. This guy knows no shame. He manages to show up anywhere in the country where there's a crisis going on for a photo op, stirs up some trouble, then disappears. What does he actually DO for a living? I wish he'd just retire and drift away.
A small part of racism and crap like that will finally die only when Jesse Jackson is no longer on this earth. Let's hope it happens soon because I'm over him instigating a race war every 10 minutes.
Thou dost protest too much….
If you're screaming so loud, you're not going to hear what others say, "Reverend".
It's all about blaming someone else to this man. What a waste.
