Jesse Jackson Lies Has a Bad Memory

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama

jacksonbarack1.jpg

It looks like the Reverend Jesse Jackson doesn't practice what he preaches!

As we mentioned earlier, it was revealed today that the Rev dropped the "N" bomb in his anti-Obama tirade captured by a Fox News 'hot' mic.

Well, it looks like Jackson has selective memory.

Check out what the Rev said in an interview with TV show Inside Edition last week:

Inside Edition: "There's a report that you used the N-word to refer to Obama, is that true?"

Jackson: "Not to my knowledge – unfortunate that is common usage in private, but I'm not aware of that."

Inside Edition: "You're not aware if you used the N-word to refer to him during that private conversation?"

Jackson: "No."

Jackson also told INSIDE EDITION that any use of the N-word is unacceptable.

Inside Edition: "If you did use it or can recall using it, do you know if it was in a hateful way or simply trash talking, as you've described before?"

Jackson: "Simply that – and again since I have discouraged the use of that language both privately and publicly, that's unacceptable as well."

Jackson didn't use the "N" word to refer to Barack Obama, but he did seem quite comfortable using the word in another context.

Doesn't that contradict what he told Inside Edition?

He needs to take some lessons from Whoopie Goldberg — being honest about a tough topic is better than being a hypocrite, right?

    Re: TOM – Number 95, it would be a word would be commonplace among white's—but would crucify blacks.
    The word "Racist" is one of the first words young niglets are taught to scream at any and every sign of real or perceived danger/alarm/inequity/unfairness, etc.
    I want a word that would RARELY be used by blacks, not routinely. A word that would mean immediate ostracism from society, even sociological Death.
    Presently, there is absolutely NOTHING that an african-american can spew in public (including concerts and music videos) that will be so offensive that it brings any consequences at all.

    You idiots have totally missed the point. There exists no single word that white people are so totally hypersensitive to, that we shut the country down for two weeks, to beat him down, every time a black person calls us that word.

    actually, if you check out the blogs on this, the transcript of what Jackson said when off the air was that Obama is a "half-breed n*****" and that he should have his "b**** cut off." how's that for charming?

    response to McGillicutty: " (Not the Vikings who raped and pillaged across Europe, not the Jews who were almost exterminated by the Nazi's, nor when the Israelites were forced into slavery by the Egyptians, nor the Romans who were brutal in their own right, nor the Arabs who beat and rape their women)"

    did you not notice that nearly all of those groups that hurt other people were white? lmao YOU NAMED THE VIKINGS, THE ROMANS, AND THE NAZIS.
    so youre right. BLACKS ARENT THE ONLY ONES WHO WERE TREATED BADLY BUT WHITES ARE/WERE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO TREAT OTHER PEOPLE BADLY.

    PS VIKINGS KILLED THE NATIVE AMERICANS WHILE PILLAGING IN WHAT IS NOW CANADA. :D

  79. Jenny says – reply to this


    179

    While, yes, slavery was a horrible thing that happened, no black American alive was a slave, and no white person in American alive owned slaves. I'm white, and no one in my family ever owned a slave. I'm not saying that we should all forget about slavers. Many Americans had family members who were slaves, but they can't use that as an excuse to hate white people, or to become what is, unfortunately, the stereotypical black person. I've never used the N word and I don' think anyone, no matter what race or ethnicity, has the right to.

    Re: LettyB – Number 128, I'm sincerely sorry for missing your comment. And I'm not blocking anything. I don't think we posters can. (I wouldn't know how, anyway.) Only Perez can, and I have noticed that to be true for random other posters I wanted to respond to.
    I don't know if it has anything to do with Perez arbitrarily enclosing some names in quotation marks or what.
    Oh, and actually I really love your posts. I rarely post, but read Perez a lot. Your avatar is both cute and creepy at the same time. Which is probably why you picked it. It is definitely eye-catching.
    Thanks…???…for maybe being the only one to recognize I am merely playing the devil's advocate.
    Love the name, LettyB, too. I like the british name Lettice, one of Elizabeth I's ladies in waiting. Very pretty.

    reverse racism at its finest!! don imus says "nappy headed hoes" and loses his job, his name, his integrity- as he has to publibly apologize to every jesse jackson, al sharpton radio show out there. jesse jackson smears a possible future president, uses a word he ruined Kramer from seinfield for using, and gets away by just silently slipping away with his head down. where is the media??? this is nuts.

    The media wont play barely anything on jackson, as opposed to the extreme coverage of don imus. On Keith Obierman's (majorely liberal) show last night, who was his "worst" person of the day? Well, logicaly you would think jackson would make it in there, but NO- O'REILLY made it in there for saying the jackson slur and jackson got NOTHING!!!!!! He claimed it wasnt nice for o'reilly to do that…"bad journalism". Thats crazy!!! It was news! Hot news! Jackson said it, o'reilly gets punished. When will liberals take responsibility for actions even when they come from people in their party??
