Sharpton, Jackson, Others Respond to N-Word Revelation - mediabistro.com: TVNewser:

"Rev. Al Sharpton, called the comment 'disheartening.' Sharpton agreed:
I think that we have to be consistent. We have denounced the N-word at the
National Action Network and other groups. Those of us, and many of us, who have
used it privately said we must refrain from it if we're going to challenge
people using it publicly. You must be consistent and I think this is very
disappointing."

Could I really be agreeing with Al Sharpton, I am.

Bill O'Reilly Talks Tape on Studio B; Blames "Some Weasel" For Leaking to TVNewser - mediabistro.com: TVNewser:

"Today, on Shepard Smith's program, O'Reilly confirmed, 'It's one
word, a disparaging word.' 'N-word?' asked Smith. 'Yeah, and it's
trash-talking,' said O'Reilly."

What do you think, should it all have come out in the tape. Problem is that the story came out, and just as it was receding this gives it a second life.

"Tabacoff tells TVNewser that in the un-aired portions of the tape, Jackson
never used the words 'half breed n-----' and never called Obama the 'n' word
either."

I reported the rumors about this, and wanted to post this to clear it up.

News Hounds: Bill O'Reilly Could Air More Jesse Jackson Comments

News Hounds: Bill O'Reilly Could Air More Jesse Jackson Comments:

"It seems the comments were discovered by a technician transcribing the tape who
then called Bill O'Reilly's producer in France where he was vacationing.
Apparently, O'Reilly has the exclusive and will need to decide if his ratings
are more important than ethical journalism. I suggest Jesse Jackson start
preparing another apology."

There are widespread rumors that Jackson used a racial slur in reference to Obama as well.

How do you talk about what Jackson said on TV?

Jesse Jackson: Obama 'Acting Like He's White'

Captain's Quarters: Jesse Jackson: Obama 'Acting Like He's White'

"Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama
for “acting like he’s white” in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to
six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La. Jackson,
who also lives in Illinois, endorsed Obama in March, according to The Associated
Press. "

This sounds like the politics of the left, if you don't support our cause of the moment. Even if you do, and you don't support it enough. You are clearly on the otherside and an enemy who should be attacked.

My Way News - Obama Addresses Question of Experience

My Way News - Obama Addresses Question of Experience

There has been talk in the media about democratic candidates moving towards Al Sharpton as a way to win over the black vote. I think that this is a risky move, because Sharpton is such a strong character, and I think a lot of people harbor some distrust for him and his politics.

My number one fear in moving towards Sharpton is that he is a black leader, even more so than Jesse Jackson. He is a leader that is only concerned with issues that relate to the black community, and he has that right and he does it well. However I think America is ready to move beyond a politics of race, and that means that the next president can't be a black president - maybe a president that is black.

America has been torn apart by this racial separation and it is time to set it behind us. However electing a person because they are black is just as bad as electing a person because they are white. I think that Obama has some strong ideas and in a couple years could develop some strong leadership skills. I think that this is not the election that he should be running in, that he would fare better waiting and showing himself in his senate seat.

Al Sharpton may have won the battle in the Imus controversy, but even as people bend to his will I think it is with a bitter taste in their mouth. His politics his a relic of the past, and it needs to be put away. I may be overly optimistic about this, but in the young generation, I don't believe race is as much of an issue.
