Jesse Jackson’s ‘Ugly Words’ About Barack Obama
The Reverend Jesse Jackson is in heaps of hot water after an open mic caught him saying very “ugly” and “very, very disparaging” things about Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama according to a leaked tidbit Matt Drudge has posted on the Drudge Report.
REV. JESSE JACKSON APOLOGIZES TO SEN. BARACK OBAMA FOR ‘CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS’ CAUGHT BY OPEN MIC… CNN DESCRIBES AS ‘UGLY WORDS,’ ‘VERY, VERY DISPARAGING’; JACKSON IN ‘DEEP DISTRESS’… FOX NEWS IN POSSESSION OF TAPE AND WILL PLAY IN ENTIRETY TONIGHT ON ‘O’REILLY’, ‘HANNITY AND COLMES’; OBAMA: NO COMMENT… DEVELOPING…
Be sure to tune in to Bill O’Reilly tonight (see below) to find out exactly what Rev. Rainbow Coalition had to say. It should be a very interesting 48 hour political news cycle. See below in bold for what Rev. Jackson said about Barack.
Rev. Jackson apologized when speaking to CNN about his hurtful comments. This is what he had to say:
“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,” he said. “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,” he also said.
And here is what Rev. Jackson had to say on the video that just aired on O’Reilly’s ‘The Factor’.
“See, Barack been, um talking down to black people on this faith based…”
“I want to cut his nuts off.”
“Barack, he’s been talking down to black people”
Jackson’s big issue seems to be with faith based programs which is rather odd coming from a Reverend. Obama has been supportive of expanding faith based programs.
O’Reilly went on to say that they held back from airing the most damning of the audio clips because they were irrelevant. The nut cutting remark is pretty damning as it is.

Why is FOX allowing Jackson to explain away and make apology before releasing WHAT was said?
They sure didn’t let Bill Clinton explain away his comments about the South Carolina racial divide!
What was promised?????????????????????????????????
Yet another example of the media making their own news! Honestly, who cares what Jesse Jackson says except Jesse Jackson. How does Paris Hilton feel about it? I have an idea, investigate, report facts, inform the public.
Nothing is promised Hywellda. Fox News is saving this to make a big deal out of it. It will not hurt Obama because every one, black, white, brown, yellow or what ever the race is knows that Jesse Jackson would give his right arm to be in Obama’s shoes.
He can say what ever he wants Obama has gotten where he only dreamed to be.
[...] The Rev. Jesse Jackson said some bad sh*t about Obama (BS) [...]
I agree with Obama being a single mom. It is hard trying to raise my 13 year old son without his dad. I belive Jesse Jackson is very jealous Obama.
Thats a HUGE crack in the liberal left! what are we going to do? so much damage has been done with Rev. Jesse Jacksons remarks. So much for unity! what a shame.
One down, one to go. And what I mean by that is, now it is just a matter of time before Al Sharpton gets caught saying the wrong thing and then the shoe will be on the other foot - maybe it will finally put a stop to all this BS where someone says something “in private” and it becomes a “sound byte”. I’ve got nothing against Al or Jesse but I really think they need to see what it’s like to have everyone come down on you for a “sound byte”.
Sir, I think you have a LOT MORE people to apologize to than you appear to recognize. To say something on an open mike is one thing, wrong, bad wording, etc. — you’ve apologized and apology accepted–that’s fine. When you appear in public or PRIVATE as a representative of your chosen religion - you cast total negativity on everyone when you use expressions as you did. “Cut his ^&() off”–is this an example of your religious beliefs? Is this what you want people to see and hear that you stand for? You owe God, and everyone on earth (and your family) an apology. This expression was not a “religious expression that can be tolerated.” MAYBE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY YOU FEEL LIKE A REPRESSED PEOPLE! Shame on you. I’m not perfect but I don’t make my life an example on public display.
well jesse,you made me feel better about some of the things i’ve said.maybe you can get us all forgiven.i’d vote for you before i’d vote for mr neverhadajob.com or gwb.peace
I just have a question concerning the statement Mr. Jackson said about our future President, Obama. I am under the understanding that; what he said about wanting to cut off Obama’s n__s; wouldnt that be a criminal threat against a state/federal employee; not to mention he is our Democratic Presidential Candidate!! If it was anyone else wouldn’t they be arrested and charged for making these kinds/types of threats??? Just concerned about our justice system; seems to me like a double standard.
