I've got 2 questions, why did Fox wait to release this and why would Jesse Jackson go on any Fox show?
He is an ass.
We won't support ball-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!!
Eli,
The absolute worst one can say about Rev. Jackson these days is that he is irrelevant. He has a bruised ego because of Sen. Obama's popularity. And, he is part of the problem Sen. Obama speaks about regarding absent fathers in the African-American community (Jackson sired a child out-of-wedlock about six years ago). At one time, I had some admiration for him. Not any more.
Obama and Jackson set this up months ago. Jesse gets to play the angry, bittter black man to make Obama look more palatable.
uh, Jesse I have to say it but:
Pot.
Kettle.
Black.
of course I meant, "I HATE to say it"
Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton are pouty, frustrated Baby Boomers (emphasis on the Baby bit). They can't deal with the fact that its no longer all. about. them. Their generation took the national spotlight early and have basked in it ever since....they are not adjusting well to having the focus shift to a new guard.
what makes jesse a complete hypocrite on this issue is of course the fact that he was part of the campaign against rappers for using the N word. he was all over the tube looking like al gore’s silly wife, ranting about the nihilism in rap music and the use of the n word.
frankly, he cant seem to contain his disdain for senator obama and his jealousy is showing. he needs to exit as soon as possible, i mean his own son , will not have anything to do with him.
I'm surprised it took this long for the clearly edited section of Messy Jesse's commentary to be leaked.
Not an issue. I thought society had basically given a pass to AfAm people using that word. Like gays calling each other fag.
If an AfAm person calling another nigg*r gets anyone in a twist these days, then they must never have heard of hip-hop.
nuns?
@10: It would be a little strange if Barney Frank started calling gay people fags.
The whole "reclamation of words" movement is stupid. I'm gay... call me a fag, even if you're gay too, and watch the fun.
nigga pleez! I think
this South Park shows the annoying reality of Jesse Jackson and just how pathetic his opinion is.
I didn't know he was 70. Time to retire, old man! Thanks, toodles!
@12, certainly if he did so in a speech it would be an issue, no doubt, but remember this was thought to be a private conversation so I judge Jackson in that context. AfAm people calling each other nigg*r in private, gays calling each other fag in private...not the end of the world IMO.
@13, I hear you. I don't use it too often, but lots of other gay people seem to be comfortable with it so I don't get in a twist when I get called a fag by a gay person.
OK, I know I'm feeding the troll here, but after days of clintonamory's (it's like polyamory, but dirtier) robo-blogging I have to ask -- re-defeat? That would imply that someone beat him once and it weren't your candidate.
Far more disturbing than the article are the comments that follow.
