Jesse Jackson = KKK?  

Jackson would boost KKK membership by giving them a creditability they haven't enjoyed since the 1930's. Remember, too, with the sheets covering their faces no one would even have to see that a black man was the leader.

Good point about the sheets. But Jesse Jackson would lap up the publicity, I can see a sheet with the face cut out!

"Get on board a few neo-fascist homosexuals."

It has long been speculated the KKK has more than a few of such individuals.

Hey, maybe with a more diverse membership they can apply for grants and such!

Jesse Jackson is always interesting. On the plus side, he is not as big of a hustler as Rev. Sharpton.

Some people are wondering how someone as media savy as Jackson could say such a thing while wearing a 'mike'. Everyone experienced with the media knows they like to try and open the mike without your knowledge. So, did Jackson make this gaff on purpose and if so, why? Politics is very stange in that this question is not outrageous.

Yep, Jackson and the KKK are different sides of the same coin. They might as well unite as an example for the world.

Jesse Jackson's routine scam is to go around stirring up hate and discontent and then when people are deluded from their anger, find a way to get money out of the situation. That's what Jesse Jackson is doing in America.

I admit to not reading the apology part that close. The 'Cut his nuts off' part was just so funny, I read that over and over. After all, any apology from Jesse would just be for show and everone knows it. Additionally, think of how many times Jesse Jackson has excoriated people for saying much less. The hypocrisy was just enough to be delicious without being too objectionable. I think I'll go read it again.

I certainly do not rule out the possiblility that it was staged. I put nothing past these characters.

We are not saying Jackson staged it. We are saying things are so convoluted and twisted in politics today it might have been staged. That's not the same as saying it was staged.

the thing is jesse jackson is not together. when you consider the fact he took his girlfriend to the white house while being married. he could very well have slipped in stating the wishful threat against obama in front of the microphone. it has been done by others in the limelight thinking the mike was off and saying something they would not want out. even those with much experience with the media mess up big time.

Yes, it could have been an error on Jackson's part. The odds even favor that it was an error.

Still, it is not beyond Jackson to have said it, just because he knew he could get away with it by having a meaningless apology as the only consequence.

Think of it as Jackson subliminaly saying to Obama,"This is what I think of you and you don't even dare do anything about it worthless twit!".

Accident or Jackson sending Obama a message? I don't know.

that does make sense. they're now saying what else did he say that we don't know about. some are saying that he used the n word referring to obama.

If Jackson used the n word, he really is showing off his power to be able to flaunt who he is and get away with things. However, he is pushing his luck. Even if he does not get reprimanded, people will at least be speculating he is pre-dementia.

jesse jackson's son junior went before the cameras and made a statement he loves his dad but thoroughly rejects and rupudiates ugly rhetoric. he should keep any personal attacks and insults to himself.

Now, that's the best explanation I've seen or heard as to why Jackson might say such a stupid thing. Obama is threatening Jackson's gravy train.

I wish I had thought of your explanation. Now, that I've thought about it more, it really makes sense.

Thanks. The news networks keep claiming he may be jealous. Now obviously that's true to some extent since Jesse Jackson has made a few failed attempts at running for the presidency. I've always said though that Jackson's power comes from keeping black Americans ignorant. I'm no fan of Obama, but his very presence in the election proves that Jesse Jackson's rhetoric about black people needing handouts and special programs to be equal is just a load of crap. I feel that Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, and many other black Americans before them proved that to be false, but they were largely ignored because they were republicans and not democrats like Jesse Jackson and his cronies. Obama being a democrat however has taken away Jackson's thunder. You'll notice that Al Sharpton has also been hiding from this election. He's not as bad as Jesse Jackson, but he still has similar goals and profits from the same ignorance.

There is a rumor going around now that Jackson said worse but FOX held some back. Sounds like a rumor to me.
