Apparently Jesse Jackson is not entirely impressed with Barack Obama.
NEW YORK -- The news that the Rev. Jesse Jackson took a crude swipe at Sen. Barack Obama this week put renewed scrutiny on the relationship between the veteran civil rights activist and Democratic presidential contender.
But Jackson's vulgar criticism of Obama came close to going unreported.
Jackson made the comments to a guest before an interview on Sunday's "Fox & Friends," whispering that Obama was "talking down to black people" and that Jackson wanted to "cut his nuts off."
Of course, I'm not entirely impressed with Jesse Jackson, either, so I'm not sure whether his character indictment of Obama is particularly relevant.
It does reveal quite a lot about Jesse Jackson, though. Isn't he supposed to be a "reverend"? What kind of life does Rev. Jackson lead, that he goes around talking like the Godfather?
Oh, and by the way, this is apparently the milder part of Jesse Jackson's comments:
O'Reilly told viewers that the network had decided to air only portions of what Jackson had said, saying there was "more damaging" material.
Shine declined to comment on what else Jackson said, adding that news executives were in discussions about whether to air more of the tape.
Whew!
