Jesse Jackson: "Obama Will Rid United States of 'Zionist' Control"

The New York Post reported Tuesday that the Rev. Jesse Jackson said the United States will rid itself of years of "Zionist" control under an administration headed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The daily quoted the veteran civil rights leader on Tuesday as having said that although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they will lose a much of their clout when Obama enters the White House.

Speaking at the first World Policy Forum event in Evian, France, Jackson promised "fundamental changes" in U.S. foreign policy. He said the most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.

Jackson said that Obama "wants an aggressive and dynamic diplomacy." He went on to criticize the Bush administration's handling of Middle East diplomacy, telling the Post, "Bush was so afraid of a snafu and of upsetting Israel that he gave the whole thing a miss. Barack will change that," because, as long as the Palestinians haven't seen justice, the Middle East will "remain a source of danger to us all."

Jackson has not always been such a strong Obama supporter. In July, he apologized to the Illinois senator for "crude and hurtful" remarks he had made about him after an interview with a Fox News correspondent.

Speaking to a fellow interviewee without realizing his microphone was on, Jackson said, "See, Barack's been talking down to black people.... I want to cut his nuts off."

"It was very private," Jackson said, adding that if "any hurt or harm has been caused to [Obama's] campaign, I apologize."

I really really dislike Jesse and wish he'd go into hiding. He's had his day and hasn't added anything useful to further the case for black people in a long long while. He's been rather divisive and so in typical form he does it again. Hopefully he gets that crazy grandpa treatment and people look the other way to his lunatic ravings.

Well, Well, Well, The Good 'Ol Re-um (Reverend Jesse Jackson) Uses The N-Word Too

Fox: Jackson used N-word in crude off-air remarks


CHICAGO (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday.

The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show.

In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."

Though a Fox spokesman confirmed the TVNewer's account to The Associated Press, the network declined to release the full transcript of the July 6 show and did not air the comments.

Jackson — who is traveling in Spain — apologized in a statement Wednesday for "hurtful words" but didn't offer specifics.

"I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public," Jackson said in a written statement. "There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people."

A spokeswoman for Jackson's civil rights organization, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, said she could not confirm that Jackson used the slur.

Jackson has called on the entertainment industry, including rappers, actors and studios, to stop using the N-Word. He also urged the public to boycott purchasing DVD copies of the TV sitcom "Seinfeld" after co-star Michael Richards was taped using the word during a rant at a Los Angeles comedy club in 2006.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has joined Jackson in opposition of the word, said Wednesday he wanted to hear the comments for himself and declined to discuss Jackson specifically.

"I am against the use of the N-word by anyone and I think we must be consistent," he told The Associated Press. "We must not use the word."


The same people who can keep black people from using the N-Word use the N-word themselves. What a revelation. Who are you trying to put on the show for? I mean, really. It reminds me of gay politicians who lead the charge in doctoring up anti-gay legislation and spearheading movements to demonize and squelch they're rights when they're the same ones getting caught in homosexual activities in sex stings. This whole thing stinks to high heaven and having Jesse Jackson at the forefront of any news cycle is a loss for Obama by approximation. Hopefully somebody sends him on a vacation somewhere far far away. Maybe a 4 or 5 month cruise, until this whole election thing blows over because Jackson is always a sharp reminder to white people all the best and worst of the African-American in the United States. He's bold, strong and unyielding in his fight for black causes only he's also controversial, myopic, selfish and many times hypocritical. Step away from the podium, Jackson. You're not Brett Favre. You're hanging on beyond your usefulness now. You're not even a capable backup QB now. The responsibilities of simply holding the clipboard and aiding the starting QB are becoming too much for you to manage. Hit the showers........nigga.
