Jesse Jackson's "Talking Points"


Now that I've seen the clip of Jesse Jackson for the umpteenth time, I've had time to analyze it. I still can't decide if he was trying to give the other guest "talking points," or if he was telling him how he really felt. I didn't see what they said "on camera," so this puzzle is incomplete. Also, O'Reilly mentioned that they had "worse" excerpts, but that they weren't "relevant" to any of the "issues" of the campaign. This is interesting on many fronts, and poses many questions:



First, when was this recorded? I saw a "Hannity & Colmes" logo in the lower right corner when O'Reilly broadcast the clips, but saw O'Reilly's logo there in the rebroadcasts on other channels. Jesse Jackson has only appeared once on the"O'Reilly Factor," but more often on H&C.". Second, what are they holding back? Should Mr. Jackson be grateful that they are living up to the "fair" part of their slogan? Does he regret mentioning "faith-based initiatives" as a reason for criticizing Obama? Did anyone else notice the body language of Mr. Jackson, as he said "cut his n*ts off?" He made an "under the table" hand motion, which looked an awful lot like a "slicing" motion, though only his upper body was visible.



My analysis ends with more questions than I had before this happened. I assumed Mr. Jackson supported Sen. Obama, but was trying to stay out of the limelight, lest he do what Pres. Clinton did to Hillary (ie: destroy her campaign). I also suspected some resentment, as the "new" generation often gets from their elders that they surpass. His comments won't hurt the Senator's campaign, but they seem to show some serious negative feelings over "faith-based initiatives." Now, Mr. Jackson is also a Reverend, and as such should support the "faith-based initiative" concept. Why would Sen. Obama's promotion of this issue tick off the Rev. Jackson so much?



Has Sen. Obama been condescending to Black people? I think he's been condescending to just about everyone, from his grandma to his preacher, not to mention those old, bitter voters in Pennsylvania (and Hillary, McCain, AIPAC, Palestinians, Canada, our European allies, Iran, Venezuela, etc...). My advice to Jesse is "welcome to the club!" It's part of running for office, to profess that you know better than anyone else how to run the nation. He should know this, which makes me lean towards thinking he really wants to "castrate" Sen. Obama's candidacy. He just doesn't want his fingerprints on it.

He should talk to Hillary. She was a real operator, when she wasn't the candidate. She's no longer the candidate, and is free to "operate" again; their goals may coincide. They both profess their support, and it sounds hollow from both of them. If Sen. Obama loses, it'll benefit them both, in different ways.

PS: We'll see how this plays out, eventually. I doubt this will be a big thing, though it's dominating the current news cycle.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases ...

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th...

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta...
