Has Jesse Jackson lost all sense of reality?

With regards to the recent ridiculous "off mic" comment against Obama by Jesse Jackson. Do you truly believe that Jackson has completely lost his mind and is living in LA LA land? We are talking about an idiot who has fathered a child out of wedlock, counseled Bill Clinton after the "Monica" scandal. Now Jackson thinks its wrong to put forth the agenda that black men must be held responsible if they get their girlfriends pregnant. How stupid is that?????

Regardless of how you feel politically, you must realize that Jackson is now officially insane. lol

Update:

trick or treat: haven't you been paying attention? Jackson said this when he made the stupid remark the other day.

Don't play dumb here, this is something that is clear and obvious and was reported in the news. If you lie and deny about it, you are making yourself look foolish.

    Did he ever have it?

    The man is pathetic.

    He's made a living out of racism.

    Whether it was there or not.

    I have some black friends who detest the man. They feel he's done more to keep minorities from achieving than anyone in government in the last 25 years.

    Of course he's crazy! That may be why he has gotten a pass for calling for the castration of a black man in the United States. If he can say that then why shouldn't John McCain be able to say it also & get away with it like jesse did?

    As far as it being a mike he thought was turned off then that is how he feels. He wants to have obama castrated. If he knew the mike was on then he would have guarded his words. I would LOVE to see obama go on TV & just BLAST him but he wont because after all "the brutha didn't mean it!"

    It is now time for obama to put his race card back in the box & put the box in the drawer where it belongs. But he wont. He's going to use it all the way thru to November. And if someone on the other side says something as stupid as what jesse believes in then obama would do good to keep his lying mouth shut & give THEM the EXACT SAME PASS as he gave jesse.

    And NO there is not a damn thing wrong with black men stepping up to the plate & being a Daddy to the children they have proved they can father. Better they pay for their children than me, or YOU, thru higher taxes. Funny how when Bill Cosby, America's favorite father, said it a few years ago he was reviled by the self appointed black leaders of this country. But now that obama has said it it's GREAT! HOW hypocritical is that of people?

    Maybe this Sunday he can attend jesse's church services & make nice with him for the cameras. Now if we can just remember where jesse's church is located!!!

    In the beginning, I thought this was a plot to make Obama look good. As time has gone by, I now think of it as a happy coincidence. Jackson isn't crazy; he's bitter. He failed in his two attempts at running for President. He has faded from the scene as a player. There just isn't anyway for him to be relevant anymore. An old man with a grudge against a country that is turning its back on him.

    #1 Jackson is an old pro at rhetoric, and he knew that mike was hot, it was just his way at getting a dig off at Barack Obama, and if you noticed the imeadite appology was well written with Jesse style. #2 He's entitled to free speech, #3 Obama does talk down tto people of color, #4 Obama is a racist and a poor choice for president

    Now Jackson thinks its wrong to put forth the agenda that black men must be held responsible if they get their girlfriends pregnant.

    how do you know this is what jackson think,are you psychic?

    jackson's comment was messed up,he believes obama talks down to blacks but didn't say on what issues,but you presume to know what he was talking about,you must be psychic

    jason m-you generalize when you say that blacks don't won't to be held responsible for their actions,i'm a black man who's very responsible.people that generalize about a whole race such as you did are either bigots or idiots and i believe you are both

    Source(s): edit again trick or treat: haven't you been paying attention? Jackson said this when he made the stupid remark the other day." um if you were paying attention you would have realized that jackson said obama is talking down to blacks on faith based social programs not blacks taking care of their kids,you made yourself look foolish " Jackson made the comments to Reed Tuckson, an executive vice president at United Health Group, saying Obama's pitch to expand President Bush's federal assistance for faith-based social service programs was "talking down to black people." jackson mention nothing of obama taking down to blacks because of what obama said about being more responsible for you're chidren he was talking about faith based social programs jackson didn't even mention any of what you said in his apology to obama. like i said before jackson's comment was messed up,he believes obama talks down to blacks when it comes to faith base social programs issues ,but you presume to know what he was talking about,you look foolish when you do this http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic...

    It is in Jackson's best interest that the status quo be maintained among the black population. It keeps him in power and gives him a cause to fight for.

    Witness just how Bill Crosby was treated when he said that black kids need to learn the language of the land.

    Jesse Jackson is a civil rights activist and he does no longer seem to a place advocating something till mandatory. i'm undecided while you're certainly conscious of the placement in Wisconsin or merely siding with the Republicans because of the fact which you're one yet what occurred there to the persons is they lost their ideal to collective bargaining. which skill employers have greater administration over their workers and that the staff does no longer have the skill to barter for issues like greater proper wages or advantages in the event that they are in a union. That sounds like a typical "prosperous controlling the damaging" project, do no longer you think of? the loads pick no help from Jesse Jackson or the different "charlatan" activists because of the fact the loads have already accumulated and are waiting to combat for their rights.

    Jesse was, is, and always will be a race baiting opportunist. I mean what kind of man splashes another dying mans blood on himself? This is a sick and twisted individual and has been for decades.

  • 1 decade ago

    Jackson has his own sense of reality,

    which is a terrible misuse of the word and concept.
