Jesse Jackson’s Obama Thought Bubble

posted by swaldman | 2:38pm Wednesday October 15, 2008

Jesse Jackson subconscious thought-bubble:
“There’s about to a black man elected president and it’s not me. That is a profound and historic injustice. I tried the old ‘accidentally’ talk into an open mike thing, but maybe suggesting Obama’s castration seemed too negative. I need to destroy him in more subtle way. I know. I’ll praise him for wanting reduce the influence of Israel in foreign policy! He’ll deny it but the Hymies will think it must be true because we’re both black and from Chicago so I must know the real Obama. Heh. Heh heh. Heh heh HA HA HA.”
p.s. There’s a chance that Jackson didn’t actually say this. The only source is a New York Post columnist, and the language sounds slightly implausible. Does Jackson actually refer to American Jews as “the Zionists”?

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week, in Buono v. Salazar, about whether a white 6 1/2 foot cross can be displayed in a national park as a tribute to World War I soldiers.

The NY Post so called reporter Amir Taheri is an anti-Iranian former Iranian connected on the hip to neo-conservative camp. He constantly makes up stories in his reports…. as a matter of fact I haven’t seen one report from him that wasn’t made up, a few have received promnence because he has gone way over board and this one is one of them as Jesse Jackson has already written a column and denied saying this.
