Wolf B litzer just interviewed him via telephone on CNN, but couldn't repeat it. Must have been pretty heinous (re Obama)?

Fox has it and it's going to be played on either O'Reilly or Hannity & Colmes tonight.

You'd think after Jackson's "Heimy Town" remark years ago, he'd learn to keep his gob shut.

Yeah apparently caught him talking **** on an open mic. It'll be huge news on the conservative chat circle for weeks. Odd because they usually couldn't care less what Jackson says.

In an interesting way, couldn't this help Obama with some white voters, who view Jackson with less than friendly eyes?

I am not sure of the quote, but it relates to Obama lecturing people on morality and faith.

Allegedly, he said something like he wanted to rip Obaba's nuts off.

doubtful. the ones that distrust jj that much are the ones who won't vote for any black man anyway. most just don't even consider him as much more than a reasonably well-funded huckster. kinda funny to listen to - see his reading of green eggs and ham on snl - but not to be taken very seriously on anything.

This really seems like a tempest in a teapot.

Or a teabag...nuts, y'know..


Probably some lame ploy to get Hannity's sh*tty ratings up. It could be much ado about nothing.

I know it's been a slow-news weeks, but this really seems like reaching for some low-hangers.

"Controversies

[edit] Remarks about Jews

Jackson has been criticized for some of the remarks he has made about Jews and Jewish issues. Most infamously, Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman. Jackson at first denied the remarks, then accused Jews of conspiring to defeat him. The Nation of Islam's leader Louis Farrakhan, threatened Coleman in a radio broadcast and issuing a public warning to Jews, made in Jackson's presence: "If you harm this brother [Jackson], it will be the last one you harm." Finally, Jackson apologized during a speech before national Jewish leaders in a Manchester, New Hampshire synagogue. Yet Jackson refused to denounce Farrakhan, and continuing suspicions have led to an enduring split between Jackson and many Jews.[32] Among Jackson's other remarks were that Richard Nixon was less attentive to poverty in the U.S. because "four out of five [of Nixon's top advisors] are German Jews and their priorities are on Europe and Asia"; that he was "sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust"; and that there are "very few Jewish reporters that have the capacity to be objective about Arab affairs". Jackson has since apologized and was invited to speak in support of Al Gore and Joe Lieberman at the 2000 Democratic National Convention.[33]

[edit] Extra-marital affair

Married since 1962 to Jacqueline Lavinia Brown, Jackson was in 2001 shown to have had an affair with a staffer, Karin Stanford, that resulted in the birth of a daughter, Ashley. According to CNN, in August of 1999, The Rainbow Push Coalition had paid Stanford $15,000 in moving expenses and $21,000 in payment for contracting work.[34] This incident prompted Jackson to withdraw from activism for a short period of time.[35] Separate from the 1999 Rainbow Coalition payments, Jackson pays $3,000 a month in child support.[35]

[edit] Remarks about Senator Obama

It was revealed on July 9, 2008 that Rev. Jackson made rude and vulgar comments about Senator Barrack Obama, the 2008 Democratic Presidential Candidate, while on a 'hot mic' before an interview. Jackson told The Associated Press that he doesn't remember his exact words. He was being interviewed about health care by a Fox News reporter on Sunday when he was asked his opinion about Obama speaking in black churches, leading to his crude"

Jesse Jackson, Jr is "deeply outraged and disappointed" by his father's remarks. Nice.

Imagine someone from the GOP saying this.

Doubt their we any willingness to forgive in that case.

I love how Fox News think they got the BIGGEST thing ever here and they are going to expose it and destroy Obama (evil laugh while twirling moustache)This is a sign that they have a chump for a candidate and will do ANYTHING like the desperate animals that they are and attempt to bring the Democrats down. FOX news is really becoming the parody that they are as each day passes.

What makes you think many of us have any respect for Jesse Jackson, Sr. to being with?

The person this hurts the most is JJ, and I am fine with that.

Imagine, Mr. Roxy?

Saying "go f**k yourself" on the senate floor isn't classless enough?
