What the Hell Did Jesse Jackson Say to Piss Off His Son?
How bad a thing do you have to say to provoke your own son to take a presidential candidate’s side over your own? I don’t know, but I assume we’ll soon be finding out.
Whatever the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. said in a live microphone on Fox News, it was really, really bad, and none other than his own son seems to know it.
“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,” wrote Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), an Obama campaign co-chairman, in a statement sent out after word began spreading that his father had said something crude and deeply offensive.
The bold-faced text was his own. “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 Reverend Jackson do not advance the campaign’s cause of building a more perfect Union.”
Damnit! It was “so crude” that Wolf Blitzer couldn’t repeat it? Wolf Blitzer could make a George Carlin skit sound G-rated.
I MUST KNOW.
[Rumors suggest that Jesse Jackson called Obama a “house n****er.” Man alive.]
Update: A video of at least part of what Jackson said is now available — he said he’d like to “cut off” Obama’s “nuts.” Hey, wouldn’t we all, Jesse. You know how much you could fetch on E-Bay for those?

Jesse jackson is a leader so he should be able to say what ever he want's some people might disagree with it but sometimes "somethings must be said" iam black and i like the clinton's so what yeah she didn't win i still like the clinton's i still think she had a strong point if America then you can would have put her in that would have been a good change i think cause it's always have been base on men i think a women would have brought a big change to America i also think if any black man should run the white house as (PD)it should be Jesse Jackson he's more skilled and been here longer than barack obama yes it's true but he's skilled too but Rev.Jesse Jackson has known this type of life for years.
