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

All I can say to Jesse in this instance is..."Have a ball!".

I’m sure the framers of the Constitution enjoyed sitting around and joshing one another about their scrotums.
It’s probably in the Federalist Papers: “cod-pieces”, e.g. “I kicked J. Adams in the cod-piece the other day, following his rejoinder on `leveling’, and he cried like a homesick Hessian.”

Can’t decide whether this a sistersouljah moment

Sounds like an attempt to get Hussein to the middle, I mean if Jesse doesn't like him he must be ok, right?

Reminds me of the remark by Kerry that was "caught when the mike was supposed to be off" about how Rove and Swift Boat Vets were a bunch of liars.

You see when Cheney was caught calling Clymer an asshole it was real and the people loved him for it so these idiots will start trying it every chance they get.

Hillary was hoping to add them to the collection she keeps in a lock box.

Obama Slams Hoop Dreams for High School Diplomas (abcnews 07/08/09 ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports)

Barack Obama took a "tough love" message to African American youth, telling that finishing high school is a better route to success in life than an unlikely trip to the NBA or the top of the rap industry.

"You are probably not that good a rapper. Maybe you are the next Lil' Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school," Obama, D-Ill., told a cheering crowd, brought to a standing ovation at a town hall meeting in Powder Springs, Georgia.

The presumptive Democratic nominee was speaking about high school drop out rates and the need for people to be committed to working hard in school so they can get a job after school.

Obama said he knows some young men think they can't find a job unless they are a really good basketball player.

"Which most of you brothas are not," Obama, who played basketball in high school, a sport he continues to play to this day, said jokingly. "I know you think you are, but you're not. You are over-rated in your own mind. You will not play in the NBA."

But while this may sound like a good wakeup call to study and be a productive member of society, Barack and his wife are on record saying that people should turn their backs on working in offices for corporations and work as community organizers instead.

Jackson is afraid that Obama, if he incites personal responsibility in black males, will interfere with Jackson’s government gravy train.

“Collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy” - this crap makes me sick. This is exactly what is wrong - they think they’re entitled.

Being a democrat means never having to say you are sorry about anything. Being a Black democrat means anyone questioning anything a Black rat said makes you a racist.
This will not be helpful to either jesse or barack and that is a good thing.

What’s interesting and very telling is that the media had no difficulty at all replaying the hateful and off color comments of Michael “Kramer” Richards and Don Imus. Over and over and over again.

They said such hateful things. Mean things. Things people should never have to hear. Things that are divisive. Listen to what they said! See, isn’t it hateful and divisive?

This is censorship to protect a known bigot and grifter.

Will Jesse Jackson be having to see Al Sharpton for “cleansing”?

Statement: For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama_s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.

Bad form Jackson, wanting to do such a thing to your redeemer.

Jesse needed Barry’s nuts since Jesse’s wife ripped his off after the burf of Jesse’s illegimtimate daughter with his aide. Jesse is authentically black with the baby-mama on the side.....
