The left will show this as another example of FOXNEWS being biased. It will be a non-event. Even though Jackson has had similar comments in the past about others.
I don't think his comments will change anyone liberal because they give each other free passes on their speech and the content of their speech... Is jesse jackson really a rev????
B Hussein Obama and his artificial idealism is the most dangerous thing that could happen to this Country. Jesse Jackson has it right and black people who know the experience know what Obama is...
Jesse Jackson is a racist, and it is quite obvious he wants to keep the race issue in a negative context. he is old , bad, news !!
We have seen the real Jesse Jackson when he didn't know the mike was on. I find nothing Reverend about him!
Jesse Jackson doesn't even count one little bit in the scope of things. He has finally shown his true stripes as a vindictive (non religious) blackmailer. "Reverend" Jackson, what a laugh. Gil
Anyone who understands the Liberal agenda, would understand wh.
Not sure about voters, but I believe the "Rev", his son and Obama are collectively helping each other's interests. I think the comments were made on purpose and for this very reason.
If a white man had made the same comments as Jesse Jackson, he would be in jail!!!!!!!! Jackson got another free pass!!!
I noticed that Jesse Jackson was whispering even though he thought the microphone was off!!! I believe his comment was set up ahead of time with Obama so they will get lots of air time. It's been on every channel since it happened.
The Left has always given Jesse, and his big mouth, a pass. This time will be no different.
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch" Obama!! He clearly doesn't have as much black support locked in as he thinks he does, and Rev. Jackson just confirmed it. Day by day his votes are going more and more the other way.
I agree with Roger. Jessee Jackson is a racist. As long as he can play the race card he feels he as a purpose to be heard.
Jackson is a rabble rousing racist. We all have heard how he really is when he thinks no one is listening! What kind of so called peace loving man would want to kick someone in the Nuts???
I'm fed up of barak obama being given 'a free pass' on everything. The whole thing is him!!! Enough already. Please tell our black population that voting for barack obama just because he is black is racist. Oh yes, Colmes has the worst face lift or he's using too much botox!!! LOL
What in the hell did I just watch... Jessie Jackson never answered any of Gretta's questions, just gave us the same old jive crap he has been saying for years... Sour grapes on his part... How did this man ever get to where he is... Are we that stupid....
You are so right lib! jackson would be on tv going on and on about what a white man said about kicking Obama in the nuts! He is a hypocrite!
blacks want to be the underdog thats why they want to be called african-american, black-american. my ancesters came from europe that doesn't make me a europian-american. i am proud to be just plain american
Rev. Jackson expressed his true feelings - vulgar but true. If we heard more of what actually goes on behind the scenes, we'd finally hear some truth.
And they gave michael jackson the Title "Wacko Jacko"....LOL
This just adds to the list of characters that Obama has been around for 20 years. They all have a set policy, one lies and the other swears to it!! Barack Hussein Obama not only is embarrassed that we can not speak other languagues. He will next have people believe that we should learn the Koran besides the Bible. Go McCain!!! Obama should have a new slogan, "Obama Vs Obama" P.S. There was never a conspiracy of the levees in New Orleans. God Bless the Midwest!!! You don't hear them screaming....the government owes me. I can say this...my family and others on the Mississippi Gulf Coast got the conspiracy water and lost everything too. Slidell is located on the other side of Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. You didn't hear all of us scream....Boo!!! Conspiracy!!!! MACPAC 08 for the good of the USA Charlene...Slidell, Louisiana
Jesse Jackson's comments show just how "fractured" Obama's campaign really is among a large segment of black voters. If a liberal like Jackson wants to pull a "Bobbit" on the liberals dream boy Obama, how many more blacks feel the same way? I feel far more than many suspect.
I agree with lib boy o boy if it had been any white person they be marching all over the place and MSNBC AND CNN would go around the clock kissing obama's ass and feeling sorry for him!!!!!!
Jesse was vindictive, he always gets a free pass with a simple apology. Jesse's apology did not appear to be sincere. From a has been who cares?
I just wish Gretta during the interview would have asked Jesse, if he still wanted to cut off Omama's nuts and how would he remove the organs? Go Mountaineers!
Ole' Jesse is as biased and predjudice as ever. Him and Sharpton both! Reverend my butt! And Obama, the sheep in wolves clothing! He puts on a act trying to fool independents as I am. HE DOESN'T fool me! I sure hope this country are not lemmings like Jackson, Sharpton and others like them on the far left seem! Was this a ploy for" poor Obama" to get votes?!
No one gave Don Imus a pass! This is a crying shame!!!
jesse jackson doesnt want obama to win...that will screw up his racist scam he's been playing for years. he likes the black victim thing and makes millions off it. obama is a fraud and i think they should both just stay in chicago and spend their time bringing the city down and leave the rest of us alone.
Greta, I'm so disppointed that Rev Jackson had to appologise for the comment that he made. I think that he is right on point with his comments over Barack Obamma. Personally, I don't trust Barrack because I think that he is not trustworthy. I'm African American and I believe that Barrack has a hidden agenda so I don't trust him. I think I will vote republican this time. Anyone who has ears should listen to what God spoke through the Reverend. God Bless you Rev Jackson. Samuel
I usually vote Libertarian but I must vote for McCain in 08. I am voting for McCain this time and it is because of crap like this....If obama becomes Commander and Chief you'll be seeing shit like this morning noon and night.
sorry Greta, you must be tired from chasing the "rev" around the bushes trying to get a straight answer!! the man has built a large bank acct. on the backs of "race baiting",and stands to loose a lot of $$$$$.
Well, in my opinion, Fox news is really protecting the people by describing and defining the nature of B. Hussein Obama. Jesse Jackson should loose his position as reverand and of course his comments will change the votes. B. Hussein Obama
I disagree with the first comment. It will change the mind of concerned voters, because, here we see the old Martin Luther King Civil Rights Guard taking a position against a Obama a Black Liberation Theology product who is playing both ends against each other to serve his rise. This is why many can not arrive to call Obama as they know him. They have all been played as well as the crowds that he chims to. Rev. Wright told us that Obama was just a Politician and he was thrown under the bus. Rev. Jackson is demonized because he rises up not to protect his turf but to protect his People from what he knows Obama represents and he also is dispatched. Afro-American question Obama's blackness, Anglo-America accept him as Black and by that acceptance and thier following they hope to wash away all previous histories. There lies the rot, that Black Liberation Theology, a Christianized Occult, is rising to reach the highest office in the land. So what is Black Liberation Theology based on? Do the research and see Obama for the first time, see what Rev. Jackson sees. They say he speak White to get to the center, they daught he is Black enough...What does this mean? What are they telling us....about Obama...are they saying that his is really a White Man in a Black Suit or that he is merely a legend in his own mind and willing to be all things to all people. Rev. Jackson is right to speak up, less he be labeled as a Black Liberation Theology disciple as well. Because that is what Obama represents and that is what everyone will be voting for.
I believe Jesse Jackson is deeply jealous of Obama , & not nearly as intellegent.
Greta, please check out usasurvival.org and you will see who Obama really is: A communist like Jackson and Sharpton. Casterating Obama is the smartest action Rev. Jackson could take. But he isn't man enough to stand behind his words -- all he does is circle the wagons -- poor me -- I'm misunderstood. Wake up america.
Stupidity is not amongst Jackson’s attributes. If he wants us to believe that he thought the mics were off with as much experience he has in being in front of them, then he must be the village idiot. Why was he whispering? It was a set-up plain and simple. Clearly the comment was out of line. As for being a reverend, a reverend of what, he is more like an anti-reverend. Greta get better guests on your show. Forget Jackson and Sharpton, they are boring like a broken record and can't even answer a simple question.

It doesn't change my vote, but then I wasn't going to vote for him anyway. It did confirm my good sense though.
Greta, you never cease to amaze me. You can play backup to Brett Favre any day. Keep up the good work!
Unfortunately, the "Rev" Jesse Jackson represents Christians worldwide and I'm ashamed of his comments. Sen. Obama isn't the teflon candidate; he's the slip-and-slide candidate.
Uneducated unpatriotic left wing radicals will continue to support Obama... They are part of the "hate America first" crowd. Our nation is committing suicide:(
Jesse Jackson is a has been bully taking money from neighborhoods. He is jealous of Obama's charm and classiness. He should take a lesson from him. And yes young black men should stop acting like kids and step up to the plate.
I don't think it will change many voters mind on who they will vote for. Anyone who is for Obama is going to vote for Obama.
I'm not sure about this, but I don't think televangelists are as stupid as jj.
Rev..Jackson's remarks have nothing to do with whether or not I would vote for Senetor Obama. It shows though that the reverand is not much of a friend. It was really classy of the Senetor to accept an apology. I would further myself from the Reverand. I am voting John McCain anyway. That is unless Sen. Clinton is on the ticket with Obama!
Jesse Jackson has been doing and saying so many dumb, unintelligent things the last few years, I think he needs to start thinking about leaving public life and spending time with, what should have been his grandchild but is instead his out of wedlock child or possibly children, he's lost all credibility if he ever had any.
Yes, Obama will lose votes. This is a good indication of what an Obama administration would be like. Most of the ignorant loud race baiting blacks (Jackson and Sharpton) will need to get their 15 minutes of fame by throwing below the belt punches. Too many black are not ready to give up their victim hood mentality. Assuming that Obama loses, the race baiting blacks (Jackson, Sharpton, and others) will be the first to scream Obama lost because of racism. Assuming that Obama wins, the race baiting blacks (Jackson, Sharpton, and others) will spend the next four years mad throwing all this nonsense at Obama. I am really tired about hearing about race this race that. I really don’t need to hear and see this non-sense for the next four years. I just want the problems fixed.
I am so tired of the RACE card being played in this election. If Obama was Asian, Native American, or Mexican everything would be peaches and cream. Governor Jindal of Louisiana is INDIAN.... you don't hear anyone using the race card. American People please stop this madness now.
Obama wants change. Idealism....he is embarrassed that we speak only English here. I believe he is dangerous for America. I voted yes because I don't want Obama for President..I heard the Father Bush bring out One World Government when he was President..we will get their faster with Obama. We won't be a country.We will have a foreign power over us. Jessie Jackson doesn't help anyone. He gets so out of bounds. Note: Mr. Pickens has solid ways to get us out of this oil with foreign countries. We the people know this. I think most of America is sick of government. I don't want McCain either but here in our community most of us will vote for McCain. The lessor of two evils .
We the silent majority, don't cause trouble, don't take handouts, work hard, pay taxes, pay the tuition for college education and have intact families. We are now fed up with pulling the load for all the freeloaders in this country with excuses, while our taxes go up to support them and other countries. Jesse Jackson is the biggest freeloader of the century and the media has protected him again. Wake up FOX, you need to expose him for what he really is, a parasite who is rich and never had to work a day in his life. Of course he's mad, his ship may be leaving the port. We the silent majority will watch the self destruction of Obama.
I believe there is nothing under the sun or stars that the Dems wouldn't do to get a vote. I believe Jesse's comments were to get some of the whitemens votes, the ones that don't want Jesse in the White House if Oboma is voted in. It was deliberate!
Was it just me, or did the picture of Jackson in the bottom right of the screen, (under the "Caught on Tape" logo), look eerily similar to pictures of Obama's OTHER spiritual friend, Rev. Jeremiah Wright ? Coincidence???
I am 73 years old and lived right outside of Chicago for over 30 years and am very aware of what the Chicago (Obama) machine is all about. SCAREY! I lived in a "mixed" neighborhood (black and white) so I AM NOT PREJUDICE!! But, if a white candidate did and said all of the things Obama and his "crew" get away with, we would be called racists and playing the race card. Obama would NOT have gotten where he his BUT for the fact he is black. He flip flops and says what people want to hear, not what he believes and it's "OKAY!" Well, it's NOT OKAY WITH ME. I'm an independent and will definitely vote for McCain!
Jesse Jackson revealed a character flaw that we have seen before; he is self serving, condescending, disingenous, and clearly not a fan of Senator Obama. He appears incapable of taking full and direct responsibility for the statement and is still riding the coat tales of the true 'freedom fighters' from the 60's. He has no standing in his own right; he has risen to fame by association not performance or abilities.
Jackson is a known shake down artist and race baiter. He is an embarrassment to anyone with the title of "reverend". He has no shame and is irrelevant to modern political discourse... his comments will not change votes.
What is wrong with America???? This is not about Black vs White to me.....this is about having an inexperienced person as President of the United States of America with the name OBAMA HUSSEIN?????? What is wrong you everyone???? WAKE UP!!!! When you see Iranians dancing in the streets when OBAMA was elected??? Does that mean anything to informed, true people of this country whether you are Black, White, Yellow, Green, ect????? We are in much danger with even the possibility of someone like this running for President of the United States. PLEASE everyone....learn who this man really is!
Watching Jackson being a cheerleader for "O" tonight after what he said about him earlier should not be given a "free pass". It should be a wake up call for all "O" voters. I mean, who else will be voted for when casting a vote for Obama? Everyone is chattering about who his V.P. will be.... what I would like to know is who will be in "O's" cabinet... I do not believe Mr. Jackson respects "O". Instead, I think he sees him as an agenda puppet. Jackson, himself, said that it is easy for him to call O's office. Which means he will be calling if he gets in the oval office as well... or worse, what if, since things are all "patched up" between "O" and Jackson, Jackson gets named as a cabinet member by "O". It is now clear to me that if I were to vote for Obama, it would give a bigger voice to Jackson and Jackson's double standard agenda. Jackson is, after all, A Civil Rights Leader and should be ashamed of himself. He should lose this title, and get fined for saying something like that about an African-American man; anyone else would by his own standards. After all these years of preachin' it & demanding people to walk it. Man... if he would quit teaching hateful double standards, people would get along better. He's not living up to the standard he is expecting others to when it comes to African American people. It is a double standard agenda I can't agree with. It is clear to me after hearing Jackson crackin' on Obama that Jackson must hate white people and maybe other races too, and the thing is that white people have rights too. I wonder... if Obama were all African-American...would he have still said the same thing? White people get cracked on all the time and Jackson is usually the leader of the band when it comes to pointing it out and getting the press and lawyers involved. Why don't whites have a civil rights leader? Because Jackson is not and does not want to be a leader for white people that are discriminated against today. If white people were suddenly part of the minority would he represent them?... People need to start reading how things are today for themselves, because it seems to me that there are people in the world that want to see "all" Americans lose their freedom. The white people in America today aren't holding anyone back. So I will vote for McCain. I've learned that McCain has shed blood for America and almost died for "ALL" it's people, even unborn people like me at the time that he was fighting, and he still wants to serve it and fight for it with the trouble it is in today. You know, I had to look it up because McCain doesn't say much about being a P.O.W. When he served America I don't think he worried about what color my skin is or what language I speak. The way Obama and Jackson do. I think he wanted to protect me then and now; and keep us "all" free which includes Mr. Jackson and anybody that still agrees with him & "O". After hearing Mr. Jackson's lack of respect for Mr. Mc Cain as well tonight, the whole thing just made me angry. It is clear to me that Jackson would probably not return the favor for Mr. Mc Cain or Mr. Bill Richardson of Az. Thing is, even i know that when something cuts through anyones skin, like or not, it all bleeds red when the air hits it... Therefore, I am a red blooded American and thats enough. I want to speak English. It's one thing we should still choose to have in common since we are free... I love my freedom... finally, I am also voting for McCain so I can remain free and help others remain and become free in other countries like Iraq and parts of Africa. In my opinion, his experience and patriotism and age will be a good change for America. I am excited about being a young voter trying to bring about a "GOOD" change for America. Join me by voting for McCain. The clear choice for a "Good Change".
Jesse is Jealous of Obama. Feels like Ob has become the voice for not only the black community but the world white as well..The bad mouthing has improved Obamas chances
Jackson & Sharpton make their huge wads of moola off of what they call fighting for Black people. Yeh Sure! I wish Black people would wise up. As far as Obama, don't get me started. His father figure, Frank Marshall Davis - communist radical, Rezko the felon, Wright the racist, Pfleger the idiot racist, Ayers the anti American bomber, Otis Moss, Fahrakhan, etc. etc. Will someone tell me why anyone with any amount of intelligence would vote Obama? Beside his "skin" color.
I voted no. Obama is black. Every black in America will vote for Obama because of black pride. Even Jessi Jackson will vote for Obama even though he is anti abortion. Even Republican Blacks will vote for Obama. Black entertainers are spending millions to elect Obama (one of their own kind).. John McCane can not do anything. Republican white people will blame McCane and stay home. In the mean time NAACP will take over American politics (Ha!Ha!).
I am not an obama supporter AT ALL!!! However, jesse jackson is doing his usual act of raising his ugly head when he is not getting publicity. He does not want obama to do well because if he does, then it will mean that obama has achieved what jackson has sadly been trying to achieve for years. He can't stand not being the focus of attention. I for one am sick of both obama and jackson. Can't wait for President John McCain to be in the White House!!!!!!
