Jesse Jackson is in Deep Shiz

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama

jacksonobama21.jpg

Mayjah drama, sweeties! MAYJAH!

According to new reports, Jesse Jackson didn't realize a FOX NEWS mic was 'on' when he made some comments 'critical' of presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Dayum!

Of all mics to say unguarded stuff into!!!!

Fox News plans to air Jackson's ranting in full tonight, Wednesday, at 8pm EST.

Jackson must have said some explosive shit because he quickly spoke out in advance of the Fox News airing.

And he's apologizing!

"This is a sound bite in a broader conversation about urban policy and racial disparities. I feel very distressed because I'm supportive of this campaign and with the senator, what he has done and is doing…I said he comes down as speaking down to black people. The moral message must be a much broader message. What we need really is racial justice and urban policy and jobs and health care. That's a range of issues on the menu…Then I said something I regret was crude. It was very private. And very much a sound bite."

Jackson reportedly did not want to elaborate on the context of his remarks, except to say he was trying to explain that Obama was hurting his relationship with black voters by recently conducting "moral" lectures at African-American churches.

We're definitely tuning in.

He can apologize all he wants but his 'truth' is out there.

Yikes!

    Re: SPIES – How exactly was my "spelling" racist? That's a new one.
    "Revrund" is a spelling that someone just made up, but you and your crystal ball see things that others don't.
    I know how the race baiters play the game. You keep changing the rules and expect your "targets" (read that as white people, asians, black conservatives, etc…) to ask you how high they should jump.
    You saw racism in my comments, please be more specific.
    I did criticise the "Revrund" because his behavior deserves it. Perhaps you should look at his comments about cutting off Obama's nuts. That is a practice used by lynchers of old, but apparently the "Revrund" is a student of their methods.

    Re: SORRY – Wow, you're a mind reader! You know exactly what every else is thinking, especially white Americans, and in your "mind" they only think evil, hateful thoughts about black people. Sounds racist.
    You at least agree that Sudanese black Christians have it worse than black Americans, but in your mind, their lives are not much worse than yours. You're running a close second place to them, right?
    As far as your life, I never claimed to "give" you anything, so why do you make the proclaimation that I didn't give you "shit"?
    I would not do business with you because you are negative, nagry, racist and self pitying and having a business partner like you would kill my business.
    Oh and I never have revealed my ethnicity, so why do you assume to know that I am not black? I forgot, you have a crystal ball.

    Re: Miles
    NEVER once said so. I don't know what Post of mine your reading but I don't claim to speak for others I speak for myself.
    You want to bury your head in the sand and act like African Americans just woke up angry one day pissed at the world and each other you are free to do so. I do not hate white people at all I have been blessed to meet wonderful white people throughout my life and thank God for that.
    When you speak of race relations however you need to crack open that history book in order to understand why animosity exists on both sides of the fences.
    Sorry if I denied you your bitter black person. Find someone else to try and bait.

    Re: SORRY – Please do read up on how Vicente Fox's regime treats their illegal aliens south of their border. You know the Guatelmalans and Hondurans. They don't get water, food and a free ride home from Mexico the way Mexican illegals do from the usa.
    Your attitude is dripping with negativity and self pity. Yuck.

    Re: Brit
    I read that post and nowhere did that person state FOOD JOB DAYCARE.
    I read HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, JOB SECURITY (not jobs).
    And if that is where our leaders say they are going to spen $ then they should be held accountable for it. It makes no sense that other great countries w/ less Money have a better educational system and universal healthcare yet "we can't afford it". Where is our $$$ OH YEAH IN Chaney and Haliburtons Pockets!!!

  12. SORRY says – reply to this


    312

    Re: Brit
    Please read up on the Civil Rights Movement, the KKK, Welfare (in which mostly Whites not blacks depend on that system).
    I NEVER stated Vincente Foxx was an angel I'm pointing out to you that he is ASTUTE enough to recognize the racial divide within this country and he doesn't live in the U.S.
    Get a clue "Myles I'm black"

    Re: Suri – So at what point do people actually make their own decisions. It is not the government's job to plan your life. Well if you live in China then it is the job of the government to make all of your life decisions. And if you don't like it then you're sol.
    I can plan my life far better and far less expensively than any government employee. And it's my right to. A God given right not a right given by the state or king or dictator.
    All of these perks come with a hefty price tag. Many talented doctors will quit practice because innovation, hard work and excellence are not rewarded by government programs.

    Can anyone tell me where the "Revrund" learned to speak English? He speaks the most unintelligible American(?) English I have ever heard. 99.9% of immigrants from countries where English is very different from the native language speak English with a far more clear accent than he does.

    Re: Brit
    And What part did you miss when I stated I wasn't justifying the man's actions in HIS country but stating that Foxx is astute enough to class AA at the bottom of the socialscale b/c of how AA's are treated here?
    Don't dodge and swerve w/ words I didn't state.

    Re: Brit
    You are so fucked up it's ridiculous! If your government is going to proclaim itself to help via " the education president" "Universal healthcare" "no child left behind" and claim to INVEST in it then either do so Or GIVE ME BACK the TAX $ I'm paying for it! Instead b/c you are weak in Math and Science we import our intelligent people like we do everything else. THOSE ARE FACTS!
    We give up our power when we don't hold them accountable for their reckless spending. Thats why AMerca is 10 trillion in debt!

    322

    Re: Brit
    So to folow your logic, It's ok for the gov't to give corporate companies that are well connected to our leaders blanket contracts to spend our money as they see fit w/o justifying the expenditure?
    In this war against "terror", we are no safer than 9/11, patriot Act has failed, national security has failed, the Amerian pple were lied to and are tired of the war and the only ones that made money from it are Haliburton and company thanks to our no bid non accountability unchecked spending.
    I'd rather see the money spent on infrastructure, healthcare and education. People in Europe goto college for free! I need to get on that!

    Re: Suri – I want my taxes back too.
    It's up to parents not the government to make sure that their kids finish school work, play an instrument, learn chess, learn a 2nd or 3rd language.
    I decide what language, instrument or sport my kids take.
    Obama will greatly increase our already inflated tax burden.

    With 10 trillion of debt. ANYONE that takes office will have to raise taxes, THAT is the Truth and we better deal w/ that now.

    325

    Re: SLIME – Yes, let's all just keep our own money and spend it as we see fit.
    Europeans have an even higher tax burden than Americans. That "free" college isn't free. Why is it that people can't save for their own education if that's what they want. Why does the government have to do it?
    At what point are you an adult?

That's right! Johns! Oh, and, by the way, isn't Bella the name of the whore on some video game? Let's not persecute people for things over which they have no control. Bella. I daresay your soul isn't nearly as "beautiful".

    Re: Brit
    Yeah so import our intelligence is your answer and IGNORE our infrastructure is okay and turn a Blind eye to NEGLIGENT spending. The point is the current level of taxes we are paying could have covered ALL of the above including healthcare w/o costing you an extra dime. Other countries invest in these programs b/c they see the value. I'm happy your so well off that you can turn a blind eye to these issues that our candidates are going to debate. It seems that's what the RESt of Americans want to hold the government accountable for

    Re: Suri
    that's a liberal belief that is wrong. raising taxes lowers revenue because people quit buying things thus reducing revenue from sales taxes. lowering taxes creates more revenue for the gov because people have more money and thus spend it. take an economics class.

    Well since Brit disappeared I'll play along. STIMULUS CHECKS… Do you hear anyone reporting that we are rebounding back in the black b/c Americans received a tax break?
    WITH the current mortgage crisis, credit card crisis, oil crisis, floods in the midwest, infrastructure that need repairs and Corporate companies fleeing overses to exploit cheap labor, How do you suppose we PAY the ten trillion if Taxes aren't raised by either candidates? People are feeling the crunch now and are cutting back. Haven't you noticed those wonderful discover you own backyard for family vacay since we can't affod to fly overseas? Americans are cutting back on spending I don't see the government jumping in to give people $ to spend in order to rebound.

    Re: SURI
    only 2 ways to solve it. your way= give all of your money to gov then let them decide how much you "get". stimulus checks fit into that category. remember the road your tax dollar travels is long and windy, lots of gov employees need to get paid for their incompetence as your tax dollar floats by each gov dept, getting smaller and smaller. then people like you believe that the gov gave you something.
    or my way= pay a very low flat tax and keep more of your money. you decide how and where to spend it. eliminate unnecessary gov agencies and spending.
    why do people expect the gov to bail them out when they make irresponsible choices with their money? this applies to everyone. don't buy it if you can't afford it. maybe the gucci purse looks nice and the air jordans are cool, but i can assure you that mr. gucci and mr. jordan don't care if you're in debt when you purchase their products. planning and saving are the only things that work.
    thanks for playing along maybe you'l learn something

    I hear there's a Poor Pitiful Me award waiting for you!
    Re: Delph, the Revrund Jackson is a native born and raised American. Where he got that "accent" is anyone's guess. You're right it's appalling to say the least.

    You're really hurting with all those vulgar ad hominem attacks on me.
    Be sure to vote for Obama. He surrounds himself with jew haters. You do know that his very own pastor and church gave an award to Louie Farakhan, the number 1 jew, white and asian hater in the US. Louie was awarded because he epitimizes greatness.
    The good Revrund hates jews too.

    Re: Sorry – Judaism is a religion, anyone can convert to Judaism. An Ethiopian Jew and a German Jew share their religion, but their ethnic backgrounds are different.
    Israel is the secular Jewish nation. Jews of all nationalities have emigrated there. They share different ethnicities. They share the same nationality: Israeli. Israel also has Christians, Muslims and non believers who are also Israeli citizens.
    The definition of being Jewish has nothing to do with "us" not having "our own country". Children of Jewish mothers are Jewish. Children of a Jewish dad who are raised Jewish are considered Jewish. Sincere converts are also considered Jewish. It's beautiful, anyone can become Jewish if they so desire.
    You are wrong.
    You also very angry and use filthy language which leads me to guess that you are not a practicing religious Jew. You set a bad example. Try reading the 10 commandments.
    Be sure to vote for Obama. He's very at home and comfortable hanging with the Anti-Jewish crowd. If he becomes president the "Revrund" and Louie may get to spend a lot of time at the White House.
