Jesse Jackson Tape: Open Mic Catches Audio of Disparaging Obama Remarks

Nat Ledger ^ | today | Jess Snow

Jesse Jackson would like to tell Barack Obama that he is sorry for ripping the presumptive Democratic Nominee with comments that are said to be very nasty and according to a report from CNN they are too bad for them to say on the air. One report notes that conservative radio host Sean Hannity revealed on air that that Fox News is in possession of an exclusive tape of Reverend Jesse Jackson, recorded after an interview when he thought the microphone was off, slamming Barack Obama for “talking down black people on matters of faith” among other issues.

Jackson told CNN that the interview had wrapped up and he didn’t realize his remarks were captured by a “hot” microphone. In a helpful tip to folks like Jesse Jackson that they might want to understand that all microphones are live and hot and all cell phone have cameras and video.

One blogger says that Jackson said he would like to rip a part of Barack Obama's anatomy off and Hannity would only say that it begins with an "n" and is below the waist. Fox News says they will now broadcast the highly anticipated tape tonight (and a whole bunch of times after) live on the Hannity and Colmes show.

That should deliver some huge numbers in for the channel and it will be interesting to hear the entire conversation and what Jesse Jackson really thins of Barack Obama.

This is gonna be good...

This story stinks like rotten fish. A seasoned media pro like Jackson doesn’t “forget” there’s a mike in the room, or “assume” it isn’t on.

What’s his angle?

[SF Republican]

so now we have two N words

[nmh]

Gotta link for the comments of one racist about another racist?

Pass me the pop corn. please.

[nmh]

He screwed up. He didn’t plan this. He’s just being the typical racist and voting for SKIN COLOR not content or character.

It drives me nuts when they won’t report the whole story, and make us wait. Absolutely nuts.

[I Drive Too Fast]

open mic, big mouth ping

[Jeff Head]

In the word of a famous American General...NUTS!

[xcamel]

It would take a real set of nads to report that, you know...

[LukeL]

You can bet Fox doesn’t have the balls to broadcast the video tonight.

[Lizavetta]

What on earth have you done to that squirrel’s testicles??

Exactly my thought when I heard this. A Sister Souljah Squared moment in time.

Perhaps we buy the same aluminum foil? :-}

Or perhaps we have both been around too long not to be suspicious of anything Jesse Jackson is involved in.

[windcliff]

I can’t wait to hear it.

[Cargon]

Everybody slips up now and again———
Remember Jackson’s remark about Jews being Hymies and New York City being ‘Hymietown’?
- we all make mistakes.

[donna]

Jackson wants something from Obama; or, Obama promised Jackson something for making a scene. Either one could be true.

[True Republican Patriot]

Maybe it truly doesn’t “stink like rotten fish.”
The rath of the Clintoon Shadow Government and the Democrat Organization is awakening and they dont like this putz making a fool of the Democratic Party.

[james500]

I just hope the audio quality of the tape doesn’t make it sound like it was monitored along the Ho Chi Minh trail in ‘70. If it sounds like someone recorded a waterfall and added subtitles, I’m going to be disappointed.

[Post Toasties]

So, what'd the Reverend Jackson say about the Obamessiah?

Transcript, anyone?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Excellent!

[Laverne]

Was that Rev Jackson or Rev Al?

LOL; who knows what these folks say or why they say it. All we know, is THEY say it, but if WE say it, WE are the racists.

OReilly says he is going to play the tape tonight. Brit gave a preview, Jesse is whispering throughout.

[Joiseydude]

Just heard snipits of it on Fox News. You can tell what Jackson is saying.

What’s his angle?

I'm thinking it's an organized effort between the Obama camp, Jackson, and the MSM to provide cover for the fact that Obama voted in favor of the FISA amendment today. The loony left has had their knickers in such a knot over a sense that Obama is betraying them as he moves to the center. This latest, the FISA vote, could ignite a real Barack-backlash from the moonbats. But, if everyone on the news is talking about Jesse Jackson, and playing the tape over and over...and over...well.

[Pinkbell]

I hate how they left us hanging. Where’s the transcript or audio? I bet FOX won’t play it.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This will be out of the news in 1 day. Jackson will get a free pass from the media, unlike Bush when he was caught by an open mike.

[grimalkin]

That was my very though also, but I’m automatically suspicious of everything - particularly from the likes of these people.

[SmithL]

What’s wrong with Obama’s nees?

[WorkingClassFilth]

Yep. Jesse Jackson is a real nut.

[indylindy]

Oh yeah? Jackson should know better. Who says he slipped up?

[toddlintown]

“You can bet Fox doesn’t have the balls to broadcast the video tonight.”

It’s on BOR tonight.

Its not that they forget, but Dims are so used to the media being in the tank for them that they forget that the same doesn't apply to badmouthing fellow travelors.

Do a brain check and you will recall that Dhim "flubs" always appear to be about fellow Dhims. Is that because they don't say such things about conservatives? Nay. Its because the media ensures anything that's good for conservatives doesn't see the light of day.

[bluerose]

E.D. Hill and Brit Hume mentioned it would be on O’Reilly’s show.

Both JJ and Reverend Al stood back and declined to support Obama early on, probably thinking he had little chance of winning the nomination. They became supporters eventually, but I think there is a deep jealousy and resentment that this Barack-come-lately came along and had the most success ever for a black man in presidential politics, stealing the spotlight and attention from the old timers.

And, Obama knew he had to get beyond being the black candidate to have a chance, so he hasn’t pandered to black interests and old power players as much the old timers would have liked.

[Tucker39]

Yep!
One picture is worth any amount of words you might need to cobble together!

Thanks!
That clears THAT up!

Snicker!

[don-o]

I bet FOX won’t play it.

I'll take that bet. $50 to the Freepathon? OK?

[xcamel]

There is a ‘blog’ entry you can get to through google news search that has a ‘rough transcript’ - and I mean it’s ***really rough*** (not for chillins...)

[Pinkbell]

The original comments referenced Obama’s speeches in black churches. Jackson said in a written statement he was trying to emphasize that Obama’s moral message should “not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy.”

“He screwed up. He didn’t plan this. He’s just being the typical racist and voting for SKIN COLOR not content or character.”

I'll tell you what this is. Jackson, Sharpton and fellow race hustlers are livid that this Nimrod Obama is stealing their thunder AND their money from contributors. It's making it difficult for them to race-bait and demagogue properly.

[steve86]

Isn’t that a threat the Secret Service needs to investigate?

[Tucker39]

I’ve got a lov-e-ly bunch of coconuts!

[vox_freedom]

"Why can't Jesse Jackson leave Obama alone!?"

[Redbob]

"A seasoned media pro like Jackson doesn’t “forget” there’s a mike in the room,..."

And you'd also think he doesn't let his winkie do his thinking for him, but that's been known to happen too...

[headstamp 2]

“This will be out of the news in 1 day.”

Exactly.

“Pay no attention to the race hustler behind the curtain!”

[RecallMoran]

How jaded are we! A “Reverend” complains about a presidential candidate not respecting Christianity and its adherents. Somehow this becomes a conversation about race, Fox, and democrats. The paradox is the fact that a “reverend” of Christianity (loosely) saying that he would like to “rip off the nuts” of anybody. One would assume that reverends don't say such things and if one does then he holds the owner of the said nuts in the vilest contempt. Perhaps a crusade is in order?

[Stentor]

I'm thinking it's an organized effort between the Obama camp, Jackson, and the MSM to provide cover for the fact that Obama voted in favor of the FISA amendment today.

Do you think that Jackson would take one for the team or that they are really that bright? Hillary was stupid enough to underestimate the rank gullibility of the left wing of the party. That beat her. Obama is a stammering moron sock puppet being run by the man behind the curtain. (An evil white man)

[Zionist Conspirator]

slamming Barack Obama for “talking down black people on matters of faith” among other issues.

So, does this mean he things Obama is too fundamentalist? Or does it mean he doesn't sound fundamentalist enough before Black audiences? (I think only whites are supposed to change their religious beliefs.)

[NCBraveheart]

WRONG!!!!! Jesse will get a pass. This will disappear by the weekend.

[Enchante]

"A seasoned media pro like Jackson"

He may be well 'seasoned' with the media but he is also a raging far-left loon. I don't have any trouble imagining that he just lost it, although a conscious plan to make Obambi look like the 'centrist' must also be considered. Still, I really doubt that Jesse would have been quite so nasty if he was simply trying to make Obambi look like a centrist - Jesse could have expressed disappointment and frustration without quite the same level of crude hostility if it were really an intentional 'leak'......
