I'm not an Obama guy but this is a little harsh. I guess you have to consider the source.

    Jesse's just jealous....he still thinks that he should be the president.

    So Jesse's first thought regarding Obama is to focus on his testicles?

    Hmmm.......me thinks Jesse has a man-crush on Obama. Jesse has balls on his mind.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    You know there is a certain irony and hypocrisy in these comments by Jackson.

    Castration, the cutting off of the nuts, has a very racist implication attached to it. Anyone who knows even just a little bit about slavery and the practices of slave owners (not just here in the USA, but all over the world) for hundreds....thousands of years; knows castration was used on male slaves who came in close proximity of the females (daughters, wives, other family members) of the slave owners. To prevent any intercourse or pregnancies.

    I find it interesting that Jackson, a man who champions himself into every situation and occurance that may have even the most minescule of chances of a racism element; would make such a loaded comment. I mean, that's like dragging razor wire through a corn field.

    At least he showed up. McCain didn't even have the b---s to show up, kind of a growing pattern with him.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    the truth hurts doesnt is Jesse... you hate seeing a black man talk about self responsibility and the the plague of absentee fathers in the black community... you hate seeing a black man not blaming the white man for the ills of todays black community... you hate seeing a black man not making excuses for these cowards that abandon their children and mothers


    thank god someone is speaking the truth about this subject


    Self Responsibility... take care of your children

    wonder if this wasn't all carefully orchestrated....black civil rights activist calling Obama out on talking down to black people...wonder how many whites now have better view of obama???? He's one of us. He's not like Rev. Wright...distances himself. Great ploy.

    Sharpton had some good quotes:

    "Sharpton said people "must be careful not to segregate Sen. Obama and impose some litmus test that is unfair and unproductive."

    "We must be very clear that Sen. Obama ... is running for president for all Americans, not just African-Americans -- which is why most Americans have embraced his campaign," Sharpton said."

    1. It wasn't a defense it was a statement of fact.

    2. Clowns or not, one of these men is going to be the next President of the U.S. of A

    3. topic " Cut off his nuts" so there's the reference of the reply. As to the person who made the original statement, Jesse Jackson's opinions are irrelevant and have been for a long time. Now that he has had his 15 minutes maybe someone will put him back in hibernation? Obama's campaign is respectful of Jesse Jackson but it is not dependent upon him. Obama's message of change doesn't mean that it will all come from the government, it means you as Americans have to step up too and if Jesse Jackson doesn't approve of that message, then he's part of a continuing problem in his own community.

    Very true. Very accurate.

    Sadly, the absentee father crisis is also occuring and increasing with whites and hispanics.

    Both men and women of this country need to get a grip, grow the fuck up and start putting their children ahead of their self-interested, irresponsible and shelfish whims.

    I know of two men who's wives/girlfriends abandoned their children and them.

    The two men now work, take care and raise the children on their own; with some help from Daycare and family members.

    Not really critiquing anyone, and I totally understand being graceful and not spelling it out. Still, I just thought it was kind of amusing that puremagic was delicate with the word balls in a thread about cutting off nuts.

    He is only relevant when you need to fill a 24 hour news cycle.
