Jesse Jackson On Obama: "I Want To Cut His Nuts Off.”

Fox News reports that Jesse Jackson said that "Barack Obama is 'talking down to black people' during what Jackson thought was a private conversation before a FOX News interview Sunday. Jackson was speaking to a guest at the time about Obama’s speeches in black churches and his support for faith-based charities. Jackson added before going live, 'I want to cut his nuts off.'" Jesse Jackson apologized for the off air remarks saying he made a mistake and that "when you make mistakes you should not equivocate. You should be quick to go into offensive and not try to be evasive. And if it was said to him personally or in some public forum it would be even more hurtful. In this case, my error was responding to a question before a live mic. And so when he does hear them they will not be helpful; they will be hurtful. We have a relationship that can survive this." I think it is obvious that the mistake he is apologizing for is getting caught. Perhaps Jackson is jealous that Obama has been so succesful and that good old Jesse did not win the nomination when he ran for president. The up until now repressed anger that Jackson displays toward Obama in the clip can also be about the fact that the likes of Jackson and Sharpton rely on finding racism wherever they can for their careers as so called leaders of the black community. A black presidential candidate does not help them in that regard. It is important to note that this will probably only help Barack Obama but making it seem like he is not as radical as Jesse Jackson. Truthfully, Jesse and Barack agree on virtually every issue except perhaps something like reparations so Jackson has no real reason to be upset.
