The Reverend Jesse Jackson and Obama's Testicles

Well now here is an interesting story...

The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for saying Barack Obama is “talking down to black people” during what Jackson thought was a private conversation before a FOX News interview Sunday.

Jackson was speaking to a guest at the time about Obama’s speeches in black churches and his support for faith-based charities. Jackson added before going live, “I want to cut his nuts off.”

His microphone picked up the remarks.

When my preacher speaks of nuts, he is usually referring to walnuts, pecans... Nuts like that.

Now, if Jesse had simply expressed a desire to kick Obama in the... Filberts... I think many of us could appreciate those prayerful sentiments. But it seems to me that the "cutting off" of said... macadamias... moves beyond the realm of insightful theology into the sphere of mutilation and sadism. But maybe that's just me.

I think Jesse is worried about losing a bit of his influence if Obama is elected. But just as John the Baptist had to become less once the Messiah arrived...

But I figure the Reverend Jackson sees himself as the true Black Messiah. Even Jesse's promoting of Jesus has always taken a back seat to Jesse's promoting of Jesse.
