Good Lord.  As if Jesse Jackson talking about cutting Mr Obama’s nuts off, he had (has) the NERVE to refer to blacks as “niggers” during his recent rant about wanting to chop Barack’s nuts off.!  That’s right, you read it correctly.  And after such absolutely foul statements, all anyone gets for a follow up is basically.. “my bad.. I didn’t know anyone was listening…”

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized to Sen. Obama’s campaign last week over “hurtful” remarks.

The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a “Fox & Friends” news show.

In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was “talking down to black people,” and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them “how to behave.”

You are appaling, sir.  Maybe you need a vcation.  One thing is for sure.  You no longer need to claim to represent the positive ideals and ideas of the African American community in this country.  Your verbal attack on an absolutely upstanding, motivating, shining star like Barack Obama has fairly well confirmed to the nation that you no longer maintain a base of rational thinking.  Take a break… and give us one!

I can’t imagine just how difficult it must truly be to try to run for public office.  Any public office seat.  And as you move up through the ranks, the dedication, drive and ambition needed to not only continue the pursuit, but also to win… it must be immense!  Then you throw into the mix being a minority (ethnic, sexual, etc.) and you can go ahead and multiply those difficulties times infinity.  So, when the future of a nation and it’s prospective new leader partially hinders on how well we as a party, as a nation, can get along and work together… Statements like the following, made by a supposed minister, Rev. Jesse Jackson, certainly do nothing to unite parties, or even people.

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for “crude and hurtful” remarks he made about Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama after an interview with a Fox News correspondent.

The remarks came Sunday as Jackson was talking to a fellow interviewee, UnitedHealth Group executive Dr. Reed V. Tuckson. An open microphone picked up Jackson whispering, “See, Barack’s been talking down to black people … I want to cut his nuts off.”

Jackson told CNN’s “Situation Room” that he didn’t realize the microphone was on.

“It was very private,” Jackson said, adding that if “any hurt or harm has been caused to his campaign, I apologize.”

I’m sorry, what the hell did you just say?  And about a fellow African-American, christian, fellow politician , fellow American?  You want to cut his nuts off?  Hell, do you want to lynch him, too, while you’re at it?  Are you sick?  You, over the past several years, have seriously fallen off the normalcy wagon and have hitched a ride on the crazy bus. I’m real tired of people who clearly know better, opening their trap and saying whatever they feel, and then try to stuff their words in a closet.

Jackson replied, “No,” when asked Thursday if he thought the presumptive Democratic nominee talks down to African-Americans.

The civil rights leader told CNN’s “Situation Room” on Wednesday that he didn’t realize the microphone was on at the time. He said he was having a private conversation, and it did not occur to him that it would be picked up.

So, as long as you don’t suspect anyone is listening, then it’s ok to demean and insult any/everyone.  However, if it is later realized that there was indeed a live mic, then the statements made in your little  “private conversations” you chose to have are all of the sudden “not true”.  Nice.  How convenient. Way to go, representative of God.  Thanks to Him that you never made it to the presidency.  He (God) must have known you would disappoint Him so in the future.

Jesse Jackson is (now) an embarrassment, to both the country and to people of color.  I think Mr. Jackson needs to heed many of the words spoken by Bill Cosby over the last few years.  Mr. Cosby has spoken to, and about, the dysfunctional, happily misinformed, self-serving, expect everything from everyone else African-Americans in and out of this country.  And despite the fact that many of those statements made by Mr Cosby were initially directed towards the audience to which he was immediately speaking, it is more than clear that he meant (means) to include a larger number of minorities than just those immediately present.  Yes, Mr Jackson, you should be included.  You, clearly, need to be put in your place.  And if you feel you have been “talked down to”, maybe you should take a serious inventory of yourself and see why you feel that way.  Instead of whining and voicing violent acts toward another man.  ESPECIALLY when you choose to speak about “cutting [his]nuts off”.  You owe him, and the American people more than a simple apology.  And if you cannot get that accomplished, maybe you should seriously consider removing yourself from those bright lights of the camera (and those sensitive elements in microphones).

I never imagined I would lead a charge to “condemn” the words of a fellow minority, and one known world-wide no less.  Yet, Here I am.  And here it goes.  As far as I’m concerned, the statement made by Mr. Jackson requires much more than a simple “my bad” !
