Jesse Jackson & Barack Obama, Playing a Con Game? by Karen Hill
Jesse Jackson & Barack Obama Playing a Con Game?
Are you, an American voter being conned AGAIN? Have you just watched a well rehearsed political rouse played out before your very eyes? Judge for yourself.
On July 9, 2008 The New York Post reports the following
WASHINGTON - In a vulgar tirade caught on tape by Fox News, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said he wanted to "cut his [Barack Obama's] nuts out" and he accused the fellow Chicagoan of "talking down to black folks" by giving moral lectures to African-Americans, source said Jackson's shocking quotes were picked up by a hot mic before an interview on health care in Fox's Chicago studio last Sunday

Quickly Jesse Jackson issues an apology rapidly followed by Barack Obama's campaign accepting said apology.
Now its important you understand, that Jesse Jackson's SUPPOSEDLY "accidental hot mic" moment is expected to help Barack Obama in the polls among moderate voters. Putting it simply, Jesse Jackson's 'nasty attack' on Barack Obama makes him look less radical to some voters.
But did Jesse Jackson really make these comments accidentally? Ummmm has Rev. Jackson never addressed sociological issues to the black community? Oh wait a minute! I remember a few years ago Bill Cosby was both attacked as well as congratulated for some very direct statements he delivered in Chicago to a room full of activist and again in Washington. These comments were widely reported. Here are some examples
"Stop beating up your women because you can't find a job."
"Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other n------ as they're walking up and down the street,"
"I can't even talk the way these people talk, 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... and I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk," Cosby told the dignitaries at the Washington ceremony, including NAACP President Kweisi Mfume. "And then I heard the father talk ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth."

Now, you MUST assume that the right Rev. Jesse Jackson MUST have screamed to cut off Bill Cosby's testicles, aka nuts. I mean what other assumption can you make? Well lets see what the right Rev. Jackson himself said.
"Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said. "Drunk people can't do that. Illiterate people can't do that."

The above statements were in DEFENSE of Bill Cosby and his comments, yet suddenly such mild comments by Barack Obama, who is not doing so well in the polls, incites Rev. Jesse Jackson to desire to remove some of his anatomical parts.
I AM NOT BUYING THIS APPARENT CON JOB.
Put two and two together,
Rev. Jackson makes a nasty statement in reference to Barack Obama.
This statement politically helps Barack Obama.
Rev. Jackson apologizes and Barack Obama accepts it.
Barack Obama looks less of a radical and further buries Barack Obama's radical beliefs. (Remember Rev. Wright and 20 years of African Liberation Theology?)
Barack Obama gets a jump in the polls and everybody is happy. This is equivalent to a standing ovation at a play.
I think we have just witnessed another political con job, most probably orchestrated by Axelrod.
Shame on the lot of them.
You nailed it. They'll do anything to win.

My opinion is a tad different....
I never had a good feeling about Obama, so when I heard of this foo pa...it just reinforced my "NO OBAMA" and his "gang" in the White House.
Imagine...

It seems that public opinion can be manipulated at will just using basic tools of psychology. It's sad that the most diabolocal will always have the upper hand in this aspect, but at least for now, those who resort to these tactics win the battles in the short run, but in the long run they always end up losing the war.

Pat, yes it was the blatantness of their rouse that bothers me not to mention their caging of races. For example, white, asia, hispanic as well as black or african american children wear stupid offensive clothes, speak horrid english, act in an unacceptable manner in public, none of the comments are simply attributable to a single race, but Jesse Jackson et al, attempted to make it all a racial issue and lied about it to boot.

I remember when the crap came out about Obama saying that people cling to their guns and religion, the bitter comment, well... I was watching MSNBC and they said that the Obama campaign was worried about the decline in the polls. And mentioned Axelrod saying we have to do something, well low and behold Good Ol Pastor Wright breaks his months of silence, appeared Friday night and Saturday morning, then Obama finally responds to the horse shit on Monday, disowns him! Chris Mathews said Write will not shut his mouth, he will have to respond, has he? Ah... NO! Will he? Ah... NO! Why? Because he already accomplished what he set out to do, take the voters mind off the bitter comment! I wrote to Hillary's campaign and told them that was all a ploy, the same as what he is doing, using Jessie Jackson as he did his own Pastor. Obama is a snake, and should never be in the senate let alone President. I wonder when people are going to wake up and see what the rest of us are seeing? There is only one thing we can do, and that is make sure that Hillary is the nominee! We can not take the chance that Obama will come that close to being President of our country!
