What ELSE did Jesse Jackson Say? (Hint: It starts with "N")
From Powerlineblog.com:
Fox News has now confirmed that in his off-air, inadvertently recorded rant against Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson used the "N-word." Fox still has not released the full tape of Jackson's attack on Obama, however, so we don't know what else may be on it. Some observers also think that, in the part of the video that has been released, Jackson referred to Obama as "Barack Hussein." I've listened to it five or ten times, and I'm not sure:
It seems pretty obvious, though, that the entire tirade is newsworthy. Jackson has been considered a leading figure in the Democratic Party for a couple of decades, and was once a credible candidate for President. It's hard to understand why comments as incendiary as we know these were shouldn't be reported in their entirety.

"Fox News and Bill O'Reilly have maintained there was more on the tape, but that the un-aired portion was not relevant to the issue at hand: about whether Obama was "talking down" to the black community."
"Barack...he's talking down to black people...telling n----s how to behave." Was all that was left out.

Too much credit. Still don't see why it's news beyond his hypocrisy.

I think its more of a mental instability due to age. But thats just me.

Why? "Nappy headed hoes" was said intentionally on-air by a white man with a history of being a dick, against a black female college team( picking on the defenseless and non-public figures). Jesse is a black man talking to another black man during what he though was an off-air conversation expressing his discontent with a "condescending" public figure. The only things news worthy are his distaste for Barack (barely) and his blatant hypocrisy after asking everyone, especially other blacks to never use the word.
