File under WTF...
So Jessie Jackson says he wants to castrate Obama... liberal-land and all the media jump to the skies in disgust... and Jackson's son comes out to say this:
So, I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric. He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to himself."
He did keep his personal attacks and insults to himself!! He whispered it to someone!!! WTF people? He got caught on a live mic.
Yet again one more example of modern technology creeping in on private lives--all the while our culture dives head first into private territory demanding standards of public behavior that can and should only be expected in the public arena.
Its not like he went on national TV and said it... he whispered it to someone. He is an Obama supporter!!
Lets move on now...
This from many of the same people who complain that modern mud throwing politics won't leave candidates personal lives, skeletons, and shortcomings--that good people are being kept from the process...
well yes. and we are doing it to ourselves just as much as it is being done to us.
The text for the Howard Hansen Song of Democracy is from Walt Whitman. (from WUFT FM Gainesville FL a service of the University of Florida).
Jesse Jackson didn't know better? Jealousy makes people stupid.

A unique event--a package sewn in a flannel bag. Two night shirts.
I was waiting for another shoe to drop...
Freddie Mac stock has lost 47 percent of its value in the last week alone. Fannie Mae shares have fallen 45 percent during that period. Both companies’ shares are trading at their lowest levels in nearly two decades.
Though shares of Fannie and Freddie are quickly declining, investors appear to be less concerned that the companies will be forced to default on their loans. The perceived risk of buying debt from the companies fell on Friday, as measured by the yield on the 10-year Fannie Mae note, which declined relative to its comparable Treasury bill.
Investors may be feeling more confident that, even if the companies fail, the government would step in and guarantee their outstanding obligations.
Senior Bush administration officials are already considering a plan to have the government take over one or both of the companies and place them in a conservatorship if their problems worsen, according to people briefed about the plan.
Under a conservatorship, shares of Fannie and Freddie would be worth little or nothing, and any losses on mortgages they own or guarantee — which could be staggering — would be paid by taxpayers.
A sequel to The Great Depression?
spouse and first son like flannel and even wear them in the summer.
I've been posting on the main comments thread since 2003.
I'm a respected member of this COMMUNITY, and I will not comment in the watercloset. It has no contuinuity and no context, and if it's important to the progressive activists here, it belongs in the main comments thread. Our words have weight and value in the broader discussion.
I call on everyone here to refuse to use the watercloset. Hold it in if you can. Go out behind a tree if you must.
You guys were just salivating over the LA Times hit piece on John McCain, but now it's WTF...yawn...no big deal...so what if Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson got caught saying he wants to castrate Barack Obama.
WTF, in 2003, if the LA Times learned nothing from "Gropegate" after attacking Arnold Schwarzenegger, so be it.
The so-called "liberal media" let McCain skate on every dumb freakin' stupid thing he says, but if a Democrat so much as farts. they're on them like Old Navy on white trash

It was Sen. John McCain's staff who asked security at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to remove people holding protest signs at the venue -- not U.S. Secret Service agents, who were not involved in Carol Kreck's ouster from the galleria.
A video of the incident circulating widely on the Internet shows a DCPA security guard saying that he was told by the Secret Service to remove Kreck, who was holding a paper sign that said "McCain = Bush."
But Thursday, after two days of being vilified by bloggers, letter writers and others, the Secret Service emphatically denied involvement.
"Contrary to some recent reporting, the Secret Service had no involvement in Ms. Kreck being removed from the area," said Malcolm D. Wiley Sr., spokesman for the Secret Service. "It was not done at our request or suggestion. Any assertion to the contrary is inaccurate and inconsistent with our established policies and procedures."

Access doesn't do much for democracy if reporters don't use that access to help voters understand the candidates' positions. And it is abundantly clear that the reporters who enjoy McCain's company on his campaign bus have not used their access as well as they could.
