Jesse On Barack: "I wanna cut his nuts off!"

Talk about a Freudian slip, eh? Jesse Jackson is currently picking his face up after the shameful display of player-haterism that he perpetrated on July 6th during a show on Fox News. Jackson did not know his mic was on, and he was discussing how he believes Obama patronizes Blacks. Shoot, I think I seen this ish coming. I mean, just look at JJ's oh-so-critical side-eye action. The look says it all. Bloomberg.com has more to say on the issue. Check it out:

Obama has been ``talking down to black people on this faith-based,'' Jackson said according to a tape of the comments played on Fox's ``The O'Reilly Factor'' tonight.

``I want to cut his nuts off,'' Jackson then said, according to a report on the Fox News Web site.

Jackson, who didn't know the microphone was on, was commenting on talks Obama has made in black churches about parental responsibility and other social issues.

``Anything I said in a hot-mic statement that's interpreted as a distraction, I offer apologies for that,'' Jackson said at a news conference today.

``I have supported Barack's campaign with passion from the very beginning. I thought the very idea made sense,'' Jackson said. ``We've been there all the way, because I think this campaign is a redemptive moment for America and a great opportunity to redefine America.''

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said Obama ``will continue to speak out about our responsibilities to ourselves and each other, and he of course accepts Reverend Jackson's apology.''


This just makes me like Obama even more. Such humility and patience! Wow. Because if that were me, clearly I'd be breaking out the Vaseline and taking the earrings off. Them's fighting words, Jesse!
