I want to cut the nuts Obama said Jesse Jackson
In a shocking explosion in Barack Obama, who was captured on tape, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said: "I want to reduce its nuts."
He made the remark surprisingly vulgar as he accused the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate to give lectures on moral Afro-Americans. "See, Barack [a] talked to the black population ... I want to reduce its nuts," said Jackson. His whispered comments - accompanied by his hand-miming a movement cutting - were picked up by a microphone before a live interview on health care in Fox News Channel's studio in Chicago Sunday. In an effort to alleviate the controversy, Jackson apologized publicly at a press conference before the tape aired last night on Bill O'Reilly "Factor" show on Fox News Channel. "This was not a public speech or a statement," Jackson said at the press conference, but he admitted his language was "unfortunately gross" and "hurtful. "For any damage or harm that this conversation hot micro-May have caused, I apologize," Jackson said earlier in a statement. Jackson told the Associated Press he could not remember anything he had said, but the remarks made in the context of a discussion about Obama speaking to black worshippers. In such contexts, Obama urged greater emphasis on fatherhood and, more recently, told students to stick to school and forget about careers rap stars or pro basketball players. Jackson said on "Fox & Friends" mike that Obama has been misunderstood its relations with black voters, "that the senator has cut his you-know-what with blacks and black churches." Jackson told CNN he called the Obama campaign to apologize and reiterated its support. "My support for Senator Obama campaign is broad, profound and unequivocal," he said. "I cherished redemptive and this historic moment." O'Reilly said last night he had chosen not to air the comments would have been even more damaging to Jackson. Obama spokesman Bill Burton said Obama, of course, accepted the Reverend Jackson's apology. " |
