Has anyone noticed how toxic Jesse Jackson has become? Well, certain political orientations have always had a problem with Jesse, but this next item surprised even me.
Apparently he made some crude remarks about Barack Obama (""See, Barack's been talking down to black people ... I want to cut his nuts off."). Well, he apologized, but the remarks prompted this:
Jackson's son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois -- co-chair of Obama's presidential campaign -- publicly blasted his father's comments Wednesday.That's his son! His son has to "rejects and repudiates"! And denounces, too, I'm sure. Ouch. Also, "Rev. Jackson"?
"I'm deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson's reckless statements about Sen. Barack Obama," the younger Jackson said. "His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee -- and I believe the next president of the United States -- contradict his inspiring and courageous career."
Jackson Jr. added that he'll "always love" his father. But, he said, "I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric."
Yes I've noticed how irrelevant he's become.
