Jesse Jackson got caught on an open mic criticizing Barack Obama and his lack of sermoning to blacks about their moral obligations on a "broad basis". In a statement he apologized and said , "For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apoligize. My support for Senator Obama's campaign is wide, deep, and unequivocal.
I cherish this redemptive and historic moment......"
Redemption?Yeh there you have it folks., them blacks want redemption so let's get that semi black guy in the White House simply because he's (half) black.
TO HELL WITH THE FACT HE'S NOT QUALIFIED.. TO HELL WITH THE SECURITY AND WELL BEING OF THIS COUNTRY TO HAVE THE BEST PERSON AS PRESIDENT!
I am not a racist. If you don't get it - YOU are the racist!
Jackson's own son, however, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL), had this to say
according to ABC News:
I'm deeply outraged and disappointed in Reverend Jackson's reckless statements about Senator Barack Obama. His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee -- and I believe the next president of the United States -- contradict his inspiring and courageous career. Instead of tearing others down, Barack Obama wants to build the country up and bring people together so that we can move forward, together -- as one nation. The remarks like those uttered on Fox by Revered Jackson do not advance the campaign's cause of building a more perfect Union. Revered Jackson is my dad and I'll always love him. He should know how hard that I've worked for the last year and a half as a national co-chair of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. So, I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric. He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to himself.
His son is the prick on the Obama campaign that sent out letters and phone calls threatening all blacks in Washington politics that their careers were on the line if they didn't support Obama. He sent out blatant threats to them. He played the race card and dirty politics, as dirty as it can get.
This prick really takes the cake, he's a real piece of work. Whadda asshole.
