Funny video catching the slip up here. Figured I would post it for anyone who hasn’t caught it on the news yet, since it is too funny to go unnoticed. I’m not really sure what to think of it though.
I don’t see how any honest person could continue to respect or follow that man after seeing that clip. I’m always suspicious of people who seem to enjoy wielding political power, but it’s rare that you get to see them as they truly are.
And the lord sayeth unto me, “Thou shalt cut off the nuts of thine enemies.” (I don’t remember that bible verse.)
Jesse Jackson hates to see that black racism is dying. His place in the world is becoming smaller.
Racism is dying?? Obama (and his wife) are just as guilty of racism as Jackson and all his cronies. That’s what makes all of this so darn funny. When racists clash…it’s a soap opera. 
Obama has nuts? Jesse’s just afraid Obama’s stealing his game, and is jealous–it’s a natural trait of people who only aspire to power over others. Maybe he’s starting to realize that his leash on black opinion is really just a rope with a noose on both ends. Was that politically incorrect to say. Damn.
Does anyone see something funny (not ha-ha) about this video?
Like how clearly and slowly he’s speaking?
Like how he doesn’t lean in to whisper this in the other fellow’s ear?
Like how Jackson, who’s no stranger to microphones, acts as if he doesn’t realize the mic can capture his loudly, clearly whispered words?
Like how it happened on Fox News, the only major news channel that wouldn’t reflexively expunge any potentially damaging comments by a Liberal icon?
Does anyone notice what the comment seems to say about Obama? That he opposes Jackson’s agenda, that he’s a threat to traditional black leadership, that he holds blacks accountable (by “talking down” to them)?
Obama has tapped into white racism by calling black men “boys.” He’s tapped in to conservative principles by telling them they need to act like “men.”
He has ensnared the left with his unimpeachable socialist credentials, and now moves freely into enemy fields, poaching swaths of voters from the center and right, with “adjustments” to his policies, and with no fear of losing his base. Say what you want about his ideology, the guy’s a real smooth operator, and a political savant (even Rove says as much in this morning’s WSJ). He is slowly revealing his pure, ruthless ambition.
I believe this was a set up, and if I’m right, Jesse will be well rewarded for his self-inflicted wound.
Set up or not, it may help him after all:

It’s more a manifestation of people not being governed by logic and the main stream media sycophantically messaging everything he says to make it come out right. This is what leftist politicians get from the MSM. It’s a huge advantage.
There are so many contradictions and bad ideas that come out of his mouth that you can’t be on the level of ideas and support him.

Are you fucking kidding me? Did you drop your tin foil hat?
Are you fucking kidding me? Did you drop your tin foil hat?
No I’m not fucking kidding you…
Do you think Jackson is some sort of amateur when it comes to manipulating the media? You think, yowza, he done plum forget what a microphone do? You think he can’t hatch a simple ruse to put Obama in a better light with the anti-Jesse crowd (i.e., most of white America).
Think about the nuance in the message:
“Barack’s been talking down to black people and I wanna cut his nuts off.”
Shows that Jackson cares about black people’s dignity.
Portrays Obama as a legitimate black man using the starkest racial terms.
Tells whites that Obama is not a typical black leader.
Most importantly, draws attention to what Obama said that drew Jackson’s ire: That black men are acting like boys. Great for Obama’s standing with conservatives.
The writing on the wall is pretty big, and Jesse stands to get a juicy role in an Obama White House.
Every thing that happens in this election should be viewed with a jaundiced eye.
(on edit: removed a vicious rumor about Jackson and chicken blood. No reliable source.)
Racism is dying?? Obama (and his wife) are just as guilty of racism as Jackson and all his cronies. That’s what makes all of this so darn funny. When racists clash…it’s a soap opera. :lol:
Obama’s wife, his “bitter half,” is a pure horror. Her racism and anti-Americanism are legendary. But Obama himself, all things considered, is a courtly gentleman and basically a good guy.
As for the alleged humor you cite, I don’t see it. Everywhere I look, I observe white people being just about as appeasing, cowardly, dishonest, and slimy as humanly possible. Whites virtually never criticize black racism. Any above-it-all “laughter” here is very disingenuous.

You have a very distorted view of Obama. He was a member of a racist, anti-American church for some 20 years. His best friends are big time America haters. I mean, Bill Ayres is as big an America hater as you’ll find, and he should probably still be in prison for what he has done. Father Flueger (sp?) is an America hater and thuggish. We know the Rev Wright, who was his spiritual mentor. So, he lies through his teeth, befriends evil people, invokes racism, promotes socialism and throws others on to the scrap heap when it is politically convenient, which appears to be quite a bit of the time. That doesn’t look like what I’d call a “good guy”. I’d not want to be anywhere near someone like that.
I’m not going to let anyone get away with waxing poetic about this guy. He’s too dangerous and too backward.
On the surface on any given meeting he often comes across as nice, but that is a very superficial way to judge someone. Bill Clinton is the same way.
One correction to my post above:

The boldened word above should be " massaging".
Obama describes himself thusly:
“I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”
Try to imagine the psyche, the philosophy, the morality required to write something like that about yourself.
A blank screen we can project on. Change we can believe in.
Chains we can live in.
Chains we can live in.
^ That slogan screams for a mock propaganda poster graphic.
And he doesn’t even mean he’s actually blank. He’d happily keep Objectivists off his screen. Reason and morality stand no chance of being incorporated into his programming. He just says stuff like this so that he sounds “inclusive” and like someone with whom people can “find common ground”, because after all, that’s what America today is all about. And he wants to feel this way about himself. So he will dance for the Left and dance for the Right, and measure and calculate the passions of the electorate, and sweep contradictions and scandals under the rug with a shrug and a grin and an empty slogan and a rationalization packaged in modern skepticism, pragmatism, and emotionalism. And he’ll get away with it, too, because Americans don’t care to think.
It’s interesting the way this is getting played in the media. If Jackson had been a white man, this would have been portrayed as the most crude kind of racist comment. Remember when a white female Golf Channel reporter made a tongue in cheek comment about other players wanting to “lynch” Tiger Woods? http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.as…32832&cat=6
The talking heads came out in droves on the cable chanels, hoping to see her career ruined. They don’t seem to have the same reaction to Jackson’s comment.

Well, I admit he charms the hell out of me! I say him on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, and his seeming high character and winsomeness never once flagged.
Although Obama is positively surrounded by dirtbags, as you mentioned Thales, he still seems to have a kind of amazing nobility and charming appeal – especially for a politician.
Obama may be a dreadful socialist, but far better to look at his face for four years than “Wicked Witch” Hillary or “Grampa” McCain! B) I also think he works harder, and has more intelligence and rationality to work with, than his Republican rival.

I am not certain that intelligence in support of evil policy is something to be valued.
I agree he is an excellent speaker, but so was Hitler. I’ll be very disappointed if he is elected, not because I view Mccain as appreciably better, but because I would see it as an indication that American culture is so bankrupt that a pure demagogue with horrible ideology, can get us walking, willingly, to our own slaughter.
I dunno. Maybe I just love chaos. But I am kinda of hoping Obama will get elected just so I can watch everything go to hell. Maybe then a change in thinking will actually start. Sure there will be tremendous damage wrought, but so was there when Galt started the strike. I can identify with Galt in that mentality of - here’s what you said you wanted, now live with it.

I don’t know what white people you know or have been talking to, but I would say the vast majority of whites I know recognize the racism that many blacks in this country practice. Why do you think this video is so sensational? You certainly won’t see it out in the open or around the water cooler, unless it’s by Rush Limbaugh or someone to that effect, because whites are so paranoid about being labeled a racist.
Whether the scene was staged or not (and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was), I still find it humorous. If it was staged, it’s funny because it’s so pitiful and if it wasn’t, it’s funny because it’s so stupid. (And I’m being genuine about that.)
