Seems that in addition to wishing he could neuter Obama, the Reverend Jesse Jackson said even more than that. The original whispering caught on an open mike by Fox News, http://www.nypost.com/seven/07102008/news/nationalnews/jesses_a_nut_job_119244.htm, apparently was just the tip of the crudeberg. The remainder has been held back, so far, and is said to be even worse and “more damaging”: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/tv/la-et-jackson11-2008jul11,0,1647731.story.
Well, I have a couple of observations/questions: First, I hope FOX airs the rest of the tape. I don’t know why they’re sitting on it. Could it be for fear of the Reverend Jesse Jackson launching a war on FOX, as is his wont, and as he has done before to companies such as Denny’s and thereby exacting tribute?
Also, just who could be “damaged?” Certainly it couldn’t be The Gaffe King Obama who is impervious to attacks, whether they be verbal attacks on his genitals by Reverend Jesse Jackson or his own mistakes, such as exploiting his own kids, “campaigning hard in all 57 states,” dutifully listening to the racist, anti-American rants of his pastor for 20 years, et al. Obama is the Media Messiah and can do no wrong for long before the stories are buried and forgotten.
Certainly Reverend Jesse Jackson can’t be damaged by his gutter, trash talk. He can call New York City “Hymie Town,” can extort huge sums of money from corporations he accuses of racism, can boink some bimbo and make a love child and still become Bubba’s “spiritual advisor,” et al., and yet is idolized in the Black community.
So, again, who can be damaged by the rest of that FOX tape? Tear down that wall, FOX, and let the chips or heads fall!
My final observation has to do with the word reverend which has been bastardized in recent decades. The 1 % of Catholic priests, mostly homosexuals....
