News Item: Jesse Jackson reportedly says Obama administration will take power from "Zionists"
Where to start? This story was reported by Amir Taheri- the guy behind the bogus "yellow stars in Iran" story of a few years ago- and everyone involved has denied all of the particulars of the story.
And besides- who cares what Jesse Jackson says about this? Considering the last time the two men were in the news together, one was threatening to cut the balls off the other. But hey, they're both black, so they must speak for each other, right?
Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said the column presented ''vague quotes -- recorded by a columnist it (the campaign) considers hostile in a tabloid newspaper it considers biased against them -- from an interview with a man last publicly seen threatening to castrate Sen. Obama.''How often does a presidential candidate's spokesman get to use the word "castrate" in a professional capacity?
If you absolutely must judge Obama by his supporters -as his opponents are wont to do- it's probably best to pick one of the supporters who hasn't ever threatened to "cut his nuts off."
