Jesse Jackson: Jealous But Playing His Role for Obama
By Debbie Schlussel
Because of other things going on that captured my attention, I did not comment, late last week, on the “colorful” comments Jesse Jackson made against Barack Obama, while he allegedly thought a microphone was off, prior to a national cable TV news appearance. But I just have to say it:
I don’t believe for a second that that wasn’t a set-up to make Obama look like a moderate/centrist and different from Jackson. Apologies for the double negative. But that’s exactly what it was–a set-up by Jackson to provide an assist to Obama, who is hurting from the radical past that betrays his GQ visage.
Why do I say it was a set-up? Well, as many cable TV news appearances as I’ve made, Jesse Jackson has made a gazillion more. And even I know that anything you say when you are miked up is picked up by someone, so I never say anything about which I care to limit the audience. Jackson knows this. Not only has he made a ton of TV appearances, but he also once hosted his own show on CNN. He knows better.
And so, I think he did it on purpose, as a favor to Barack Obama, so that once Obama’s in the White House, Jackson will be sitting pretty.
Sure, Jackson doesn’t like Obama. He will take away part of the stage for Jackson’s lifelong career of grievance theater and shakedowns. But Jackson isn’t stupid. He made those comments deliberately, wanting them to get picked up.
Both of these dolts are as transparent as they are crooked. Enough of this mud becomes public, hopefully the guilty white libs out there will snap out of they’re media induced funk.
