Jesse Jackson apologizes for vulgar Obama remarks:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for saying Barack Obama is “talking down to black people” during what he thought was a private conversation with a FOX News reporter Sunday.
Jackson was speaking at the time about Obama’s speeches in black churches and his support for faith-based charities. Jackson added, “I want to cut his nuts off.”
I’m not going to say that this was orchestrated; first, because I don’t go in for conspiracy theories, and second, because I don’t think Jackson is the sort to be willing to look like an ass for someone else’s benefit. However, I’m sure the Obama campaign is delighted by the incident. Being attacked by Jesse Jackson can only help him with white moderates, and it won’t hurt him with black voters. There’s no downside that I see.
UPDATE: Stephen Green goes with the conspiracy theory.
