McCain is talking about effectively scrapping social security. If you can explain what he says another way then go ahead. And McCain is a flip flopper. He's the first candiate in history to be stumping against two bills that have his name on them (torture and immigration. )

What Jesse Jackson says even on-mike is irrelevant. McCain made a series of very newsworthy gaffes and blunders over the past few days yet the only thing the media are covering is something Jesse Jackson said and how it affects Obama. No the wonder America is going down the tubes.
Because the Huffington Post are not an objective group of journalists they are liberal 100% unashamed.

Hey anything McCain has done Obama has done worse....FISA anyone Maybe next he'll attend Pro-Life Rallies!

If you want change and you believe in hope and you hope for a candidate that belives in change....then you want Barrack Obama.



And Kirkland this thread isn't about arguing about who's going to be a better President if you want that then go ahead and make it but don't come up in here and divert everyone's attention....Jesse deserves every fucking second of humiliation he has earned it!

If guys like Imus get in trouble for silly remarks and JESSE JACKSON holds them accountable then someone should hold Jesse accountable for this! This goes beyond Obama vs McCain this is about that shit head Jesse Jackson who has made a living perpetuating the cycle of racism! He and Al Sharpton and their cronies have held black people back for waaaaaay too long while true LEADERS like Bill Cosby have stated where the next steps are in the Civil Rights movement and if Obama gets shit for saying what he has said then who's in the wrong? Obama said go to school, learn, prepare yourself for work, don't bank on sports or rap or whatever and accept responsibility if you're a father.....is Jesse Jackson opposed to that?? Yeah apparently he is and I wonder why?? Maybe it's because he wants to keep people poor and stupid so they will listen to his divisive speeches and he'll pocket money from sorry ass companies who'll pay him hush money.


As a white guy I have no problem with society expecting me to be responsible, get a job, have an education, contribute to society, and all that stuff...some people need reminding and maybe Barrack has the experience (being from a single parent home) to tell some people about it. I don't agree with Obama's politics but he's correct on what he said...this thread is about Jesse Jackson being in the wrong.....as always
Bill Cosby is a black leader I missed that memo, then. I thought he was an old comedian. Newsflash, guys- any black person who gets on a national stage and says something about black people isn't necessarily a leader. Like him or no (which I don't) Jackson played a part in the Civil Rights movement, Bill Cosby just gave voice to what a lot of white people thought but didn't think it was okay to say. Don't buy into the stereotype that every black child comes from a home where they don't know their father.

There's wrong and then there's wrong. Comparing Imus to Jesse Jackson is truly apples and oranges. Calling someone a nappy-headed ho is a world away from saying you want to cut someone's nuts off. It was Jackson's word choice that got him into trouble, not his message. Imus' message (and I know he wasn't the 1st person to say it, but it was his show and he repeated it even) was only meant to be deragatory. Imus, not Jackson, worked for a major company that has shareholders and consumer-driven advertisers to be held accountable to and for CBS to do nothing would have been suicidal. We should not expect freedom of speech to apply in the workplace. Being black, I couldn't care less about Imus' statements. I'd still buy my Colgate or my Miller or whatever other product that advertised on his show. It has to be something extreme to get my ire up and nappy-headed hoes ain't it. That's just a lame-assed attempt of Imus again trying to be Howard Stern. Howard's said way worse and had no ill-effects (because ppl actually like him). Jackson's comment was dumb because of where he decided to make it. He could have easily have said he disliked how Obama speaks down to black people and that would have been the end of it. But it's sensational; ppl latch onto the fact he said 'nuts' and 'cut off' like 3 year olds hearing the 'f' word outside for the first time. It's such a complete non-story, especially when you have things like 'Hymie-town' and Jackson's corporate racketeering that he seems to have skated away from scot-free. If I'm mad at someone I might be inclined to say I wanna cut their nuts off, but that has nothing to do with their race or any stereotypical aspect about them; it's just a nasty thing to say.
