Jesse Jackson apologizes for comments critical of Obama

CNN.com ^ | July 9, 2008 | Alexander Mooney

Notice this article offers Jackson's lame apology -- "I'm sorry if anyone was offended," not "what I said was wrong." Also, CNN did not print a single word of what Jackson actually said. What did this world-class race hustler actually say?

Who knew that JJ was working for McCain!!??

Haven’t found what Jesse actually said, maybe on Fox website? ...was their mic.

[Carley]

Blized is about ready to cry. He feels Jesse’s pain.

Fact is Jesse is a classless pig.

The tape was recorded by that “evil” Fox News. The media won’t do their dirty work and carry the tape.

It’s not like the NBC-registered photos of the Virginia Tech’s posed photos.

All those stats are true, but they’re all Whitey’s fault.

FOX NEWS IN POSSESSION OF TAPE AND WILL PLAY IN ENTIRETY TONIGHT ON 'O'REILLY'

According to the other thread on this, JJ said he’d like to rip Obama’s nuts off.

Too bad for Jackson, I think Michelle already beat him to it.

Run Jesse Run!

[MrB]

These fascist bastards can’t even fathom the idea of individual responsibility - I guess because such a concept doesn’t empower them.

Wolf Blitzer just said they cannot even replay what he said on the air.

What did Jackson say? I missed it. And exactly why is it that CNN cannot play it? First of all, they are a cable station so all that profanity stuff doesn't apply; and second even if it did apply or they don't want to air profanity I'm sure they have access to the technology to beep it out.

JJ said he’d like to rip Obama’s nuts off.

With his teeth, no doubt.

Was this in “Hymietown”, as Jesse calls it?

[swarthyguy]

Remember FDR’s line : nothing in politics happens by accident unless it’s planned that way.

Can’t decide whether this a sistersouljah moment

and/or

deflect attention from his flipflop on the FISA thingie.

Get the bubblebrains talking about Jesse instead of how Obie just trampled on one of his key planks.

[Loyal Buckeye]

This could be a contrived situation to benefit BHO.

[gathersnomoss]

I will be watching.

[MarineBrat]

A non-apology apology to be proud of...

[sappy]

i bet a typical white person is behind this.

Hannity has the tape and will play it tonight. (if you can stand the suspense) ;)
