Bumpshack: TVNewser was sent a transcript of the Jesse Jackson tape that exposed Jackson’s damning remarks about Presidential candidate Barack Obama (you know the tape where Jackson said he wanted to cut Barack’s nuts off). Bill O’Reilly and Fox News refused to air the entire video tape deeming the racist parts to be off subject matter.
The transcript received by TVNewser shows that Jackson used the ‘n-word’ in referencing African-Americans in regard to how Barack was allegedly speaking to them.
Quote:
Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling n*****s how to behave.
Speak of the hypocrite devil! Reverend Jackson after all of your rants and protests against others for using that word and you are dropping it during the break from a national interview on a ‘hot mic’?
Jackson has been irrelevant for several years. I believe this is officially the end of Jackson having any prominence and respect amongst African-Americans and the country as a whole. Rev. Al Sharpton had already passed him on the totem pole even before this latest Jackson scandal.
O’Reilly was on Shepherd Smith’s show late this afternoon and blamed the leak on a ‘weasel.’
Quote:
O’Reilly confirmed, “It’s one word, a disparaging word.”
“N-word?” asked Smith. “Yeah, and it’s trash-talking,” said O’Reilly.
Then he turned his attention to the person who tipped off TVNewser. “Some weasel leaked it to the internet,” he said. “That person wants to hurt Jesse Jackson.”
Maybe Bill was just giving Jesse the ‘final word’ as he likes to often do on his program. I think everyone knew that the other contents on the tape would eventually find their way onto the internet.
