If it was a scam, I don't think they would have included the part about cutting off Obama's n*ts. I don't think that line was the product of Obama's brain trust.
I'm guessing that Fox News turned those mics on early with the hopes that something like this might happen. Very smart.
I fail to see how Jesse Jackson did not know that his words were being recorded. There are many many examples of individuals making stupid comments prior to and after their scheduled segment. Jackson once had his own television show and must have known that when you're in front of the camera everything you say can be recorded. I have to wonder how much of this was actually intended by Jackson.
" I have to wonder how much of this was actually intended by Jackson."
I don't think there's any indication that Jackson is the type of person who'd attempt to help someone by deliberately putting his foot in the mouth and looking like a fool. I think that it's far more likely that his mouth went in gear while his brain did not.
Remember, during his own last presidential campaign, Jackson used the reprehensible term "Hymietown."
Given the kind of remarks that Jackson has been caught saying in places in which most people would be saying less reprehensible things, I imagine that in private what he says is even worse.
Sounds like a good reason to elect Obama, no? Unlike McCain who's ready to consign his top economic advisor (sent to an editorial meeting, no less, where he accused Americans of whining) to Minsk.
But I tend to agree with NSM. I have not seen signs of selflessness of the part of J. Jackson, Sr. before, and the chances of an epiphany are infinitesimal.
Simba, since Hillary is out of the picture, you are going to have to be a little clearer on where you are coming from with your comments. Are you going to reveal yourself as a McCain supporter or not?
