SubscribeLaff Riot: Jesse Jackson Used The ‘N-word’
From a deeply disappointed Associated Press:
Fox: Jackson used N-word in crude off-air remarks
By SOPHIA TAREEN
CHICAGO (AP) — For decades the Rev. Jesse Jackson has rallied against the use of the N-word — an ethnic slur he has repeatedly told the American public is hateful and degrading. But Fox News confirmed to The Associated Press Wednesday that the longtime civil rights activist used the term in what Jackson thought was a private conversation during a break from a TV interview.
Jackson has already come under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama that were recorded 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 … telling ‘N-words’ how to behave.”
Fox declined to release the full transcript of the July 6 show and did not air the comments.
Jackson — who was traveling in Spain to attend an interfaith conference on Wednesday — apologized in a statement 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 Barrack 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.
Oh my sides…
Can’t breathe… for laughing…
Meanwhile, behold the way we were:
Yet another endorsement that will soon be disappeared.

For the record, here is what TVNewser put up on July 16:
We actually saw this went it was posted. But the story seemed almost too good. And the TVNewser site seemed so unprofessional that we had our doubts.
But, lo and behold, the website’s creator has now gotten the ultimate reward. He has been hired by the New York Times.
One wonders on the strength of — or despite — this scoop.

I can see why Fox News did not want to air this slur…it is not newsworthy. Hypocrisy from The Rev has become common knowledge.

WOW !
Another Liberal Democrat revealed.
So many ugly Democrats, so little time.
Where was FOX’s guts?
Why wouldn’t O’Reilly have the guts to put it out there at the time?
Still, how much do you wanna bet, some Liberal is going to claim FOX manipulated the tapes…
It’s all a vast Right Wing Conspiracy after all.

Let’s see a white guy utter the “N” word and then make this statement. How well do you think that’d go over?

S&L: thanks, I’m on!
My only comment, we must pay Senator HUSSEIN Obama his due respect as the new Messiah, Prophet & Lightwihter, according to the Anti-American/Pro-Jihadi Delusional Democratic Traitor Leftist Nutbags (TM); so I honor Senator HUSSEIN Obama as he is, and deserves: Senator HUSSEIN Obama (PBUH)(SWT)(SAW)!

Someone made the comment that “great men aren’t” and I think that pretty well sums it up. Jackson’s schizophrenic life may well have caught up with him. We’ll see. Perhaps he can give Don Imus a call; I’m sure Don might have some words of encouragement for him.

two words - Don Imus
and as much as I am not a huge fan of the I-man,the hypocrisy is side-splitting.

This is classic. The trash talking at its best. One of the black,s front runners of equality gets busted. Now you will see the double standerd of this kind of language. Shame on you Bill O Reilly. This has more to do with what is wrong with the race tensions in America. It has been said before poor Don Imus. He didnt get a free pass.

“forget that I would like to cut off his nuts, or used the n word… I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people.”
it is amazing how a lib can say, “let us move beyond the divisive issues of the past, and look with hope to the uniting ideas for the future.” and suddenly all the libs dismiss the hypocrisy and double standards of there own bufoons.
obama– “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. just drink this kool-aid and everything will be juuust fine.”
dems– “we hear, and obey”
