I am a BIG Obama fan. But Jesse has the right to critique him, if he wants. Let's not get carried away, Obama is not the Messiah. This comment was made, off-off the record, when Jesse did not know he was live.
Now a reverend talking about cutting someone's n_ts off is a bit shocking. But a reverent having an adulterous affair and a love child is too.

it's not that anyone thinks obama is beyond criticism, but what was even constructive about what he said. he looked foolish…bunk that…he is a fool! what so called 'black leader', a long standing liberal political 'leader' goes on FOX NEWS and says anything off the cuff or supposedly off the record…these are the same people who refer to Michele Obama as a 'baby momma'…they have no morals, ethics or bounderies in terms of how low they will go as a so-called news organization. jesse deserves a butt-whoopin for this. just plain stupid and very crap-esque!

To criticize is normal, to threaten is plain old asenine.
Jealous much, Jesse? Keep hope alive!

This is just sad. Jesse Jackson has done many great things, but this isn't his first time knocking Obama or saying things that he would protest if it wasn't coming from him. He accused him of "acting white" last september. This will hurt his legacy. The one thing that I really don't like is how Fox news is acting like they are doing Jesse a favor by not showing all the footage. They are saying he said much worse. Jesse should tell them to release all the footage, so people won't speculate on what else he said and so the footage isn't leaked to make this story drag out longer. This is almost like some form of extortion by Fox news. I wish all the news stations would just report news and stop trying to be part of it.

I have never had much respect from Jesse, but this is sad. Obama is speaking down to blacks..how? Because he is speaking intelligently? Or because he doesn't have a speech impediment, Jesse? As for Obama 'acting' white–he is half white! But who cares? He is charismatic and I hope that he wins the presidency to show Jesse how it's really done.

It probably is better for Obama that Jackson said he wants to castrate him. If all he had said was that Obama has been talking down to black people, and stopped there, then everybody might stop and think, "Hmm, maybe that's true…" Instead, Jackson makes himself look like a fool and any actual substance regarding the way Obama talks to African Americans is utterly overwhelmed by a threat of KKK-style violence.

Daaaaag I knew Jr's comments were gonna be kind of, uh, interesting when he started off by calling his dad 'Reverend Jackson.' Daaaaaaag. Why he couldn't just say "Please bear with my dad. Dad aint been quite right since um, mom went upside his head with that S-K-I-L-L-E-T for bringing that baby home." "But I digress.."

Dang, Barack is breaking up families and all KINDS OF stuff.

^^^reads J post then .

This could actually help Obama. Since after Sharpton, Jackson is viewed by some as the black anti christ.

MMM hmmm. Whitefolk aint exactly *keen* on 'Reverend Jackson'.. and they lurrrrrve us bickering with each other (particularly being at each other's nuts without enlisting them to chop off nothing) so… this just in… Barack just won 3 new red states!

Saying that he talks down to black people off the record for someone who's supposed to be backing him? Acceptable. No one's a saint and he's entitled to that view.

Saying you wanna cut off his testicles? Vile for so many reason. Obviously, there's anger there which could well be justified, but why on earth say you back someone you feel such anger towards? Also, such a statement from a Reverend –and I understand revs are humans, but they should be able to exercise better judgment than drunken frat boys– is just vile. Did I mention that he's a grown a– man?

@J- I'd like to be excused from the "whitefolk" who want to see black people acting divisively toward one another. That makes no sense at all. Like it's my secret white fantasy to have all the black people split into teams and duke it out? Man, it really scares me if that's what someone thinks is going through my mind.

If Jackson can't play nice, he should get off the field. He's already destroyed any credibility he may have once had.

Silver, with all due respect, uh… I aint say a thing about Silver's secret fantasies.

But yes— historically and presently— whitefolk have made quite a bit of money, have gotten quite a bit of entertainment, and have gobbled up quite a big piece of the pie over Blackfolk's bickering.
