Probably all of the above, but my initial reaction was that Jackson felt it was very important to plant an idea in the mind of the guy sitting next to him, which probably was financially motivated.

Good morning Ms. Alisyn,

All of the above.

Actually, Jackson has never been about anything but Jackson. He’s an angry and bitter racist who makes a living race baiting and demanding tribute from large companies.

He is now and has been for a long time, well, a has been.

Morning Ms. Audra.

I hope you ladies have a wonderful day.

chas

It is really a non-event. BHO will (already has) “forgiven” Jessee. You will never get anyone on that side of the aisle to criticize Jackson for it, nor will you find anyone over there to acknowledge it was a fair criticism.

Finally, if a white person had said something to that effect he/she would likely be labaled racist by those same Jackson apologists.

I personally believe Sen. Obama’s success has marginalized a number of black leaders including Rev Jackson. His faith based ideas cut right into Rev. Jacksons income. Remember the only higher paid Reverand of our time was Rev. Moon. Although his comment sounded more like that of a Mafia Don then a man of God. Great question as usual. Be Well

Jesse Jackson is a corporate blackmailer. He is upset (mad) because Obama is the #1 star now. Jesse showed what he is made of. He calls himself a minister and makes such a crude comment? My opinion ….Jesse is a NUT!!!!!

I’m listening to Jack Reed and I would like one good example where sanctions worked.
Has it really worked in North Korea? Cuba? Iraq?

If Imus said something like that there would be riots in the streets. Strange world in which we live…..

good morning,

“rev” jesse jackson lets his true self shine through once again.

Mornin’ Marhsall.

The expression on Dr. Reed V. Tuckson’s face was priceless. I don’t think he was very impressed with the rhyming rev.

Sean,

Sanctions don’t work for one simple reason. They tend to get used against tyrants, not democracies.

Since the sactions don’t really effect the life and wealth of those tyrants, only thier people, (and seriously do you think they care about their prople?), so of course it is only a gesture.

chas

Mornin’ Sean!

It is not the the cutification of the nutification that is the true proclamation of the emancipation……

If any right leaning white person had said it, the MSM would be calling for their head on a platter.

Chas,
You just stole my thunder, but at least I do not have to follow up my question. LOL

Marshall, that’s funny.

Since Senator Obama is not towing the party line according to Jesse, he is to be mocked!! Jesse is yesterday’s paper and he has to realize the world has changed since the 1960’s. Obama has every right to speak out like he did on Father’s Day “Any fool can make a baby!!” If Jesse doesn’t like it–Too bad!!!! Jesse needs to become a victor and quit being the eternal victim.

OTT – I thought it was awesome that FoxNews brought E.D. Hill back,saw her last night on the 5 o’clock show.She should get her old show at 2 pm back also.It was a kneejerk,purely political reaction that prompted Fox News to sideline her in the first place,which was clearly erroneous.These new Rev. Jackson comments put E.D.’s comments in a whole new and innocuous light by comparison.

Also,keep the heat coming Alisyn you keep looking better and better.If you got it flaunt it Alisyn…and we all agree you got it .

Fighting off daydreams of Alisyn (still),
Elias

Contrary to popular belief the Afro American community is not as united as many would believe. As you can see there is a generational rift developing between the old guard and the new. Jessie Jacksons claim to fame has always been his presence at the death of Martin Luther King. Obama is building a new power base that does not include people like Jackson. To add insult to injury many of Obama closest advisers are not drawn from the Afro American community.

Obama is big on symbolism and is co-opting the image and the mantle of Martin Luther King by accepting the nomination of the Democratic party on the anniversary date of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream speech” in front of 75 thousand people and Jackson is jealous. You can see that from his hot mike comments.

Alisyn everyone left me to go on a trip you know any way I can keep myself entertained?

morming Alisyn…..
I agree with Chas….it’s all of the above….
morning Chas and Marshall….

I LOVE IT!

Ahh, the “Party of the People”

Except “typical white people,” “angry bitter people hanging onto their guns and religions with antipathy for those that are not like them,” the people of Michigan and Florida and all the Billary voters tossed under the bus when the DNC “selected” the false messiah and kicked Bilary to the curb.

The brilliant strategic planning that bastardized the Dimocratic (that’s how I spell it) Primary process, in constant bickering and facade that is their “unity”, the great material for my blog (http://lmosworld.blogspot.com/).

I get misty from laughter.

And I am not giving the GOP a pass, but the Dimocrats have, in effect, been in charge since 2006………..hmmmmm, who shall I vote for, LOL

Mornin’ Jimmy!

It would be interesting if Fox would examine all the people behind Obama and advising him. I can’t halp but feel that Obama is just the front man for the rock-n-roll band.

Hey Alisyn,

Jesse Jackson…….what a clown!

But you know what? It’s my Birthday today, so I don’t really care!

Have a great day!

Pat

Good Morning Alisyn, Chas, Marshall and the rest of the morning group.

Rev. Jackson is a racist turd. You can polish it, paint it, purfume it up, but a turd is still a turd. If you don’t like BHO then have the stones to say you don’t like him. And really, like Jackson hasn’t been around long enough to keep his mouth shut while a camera is in front of him.

I sit in teleconferences all the time and I don’t care if that little red mute light is on or not, I keep my mouth shut!

And BHO forgiving him, saying he has a friendship with him that will get through this. Hey BHO, you want to be the leader of the biggest, baddest country in the free world? Act like you have a set and tell Jackson to pack sand! <—-Pack Sand was re-editted for morning television.

When Jackson was invited to the O’Riley Factor.

I almost feel bad for BHO. Between Jackson, Wright and Clinton, BHO is going to spend all his time in damage control mode and McCain is going to be able to sit on his couch, each chips, and watch the election from home.

We need a good definition of “flip-flop.” To me it is when a person changes his positions to suit the latest trends in hopes of grabbing a few votes.

On the other hand, when one changes positions based on solid information and existing conditions, that is not a flip-flop. That is WISDOM!

Good morning Alisyn,

Probably “all the above”. Why do the Dem’s. and most media say it’s alright and let’s move on because Jackson said he was sorry and Senator “here’s what I think today” accepted the apology? What other choice did Obama have but to accept it? What would be the outcry this morning is a white Rev. had made that comment?

BTW, you do look marvelous today!

Morning Jimmy.

Sorry Sean, didn’t mean to steal from you. But it does show we think alike. Bad thing for you my friend…lol.

Happy Birthday Pat.

I hope it is a good one. Depending on where you live in MN, you could have a birthday dinner at Norman McQuack’s (spelling?). I dined there in May of 07 and it was a great place.

Marshall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you been drinking the Kool-Aid?

I would not let Obama run a McDonald’s franchise, let alone the country……………..wisdom? Obama?

Comical

Someone run down what this man has accomplished in his short carreer and bear in mind I am from Chicago where he was a “community organizer” and know better.

ready…….GO! LOL

Jesse said what he said to help Obama, It will make him look “not so radical” to the average white person!!!

Maybe the Rev Jackson is a bit upset at the criticism of absenty fathers in the black communitee since he himself was caught a few years back having fathered a child out of wedlock and then basically ignoring any responsibility as the father of the child.
Or maybe he is mad at Obama for succeeding as a candidate where he failed. Or Jackson feels his run in the 80s made it possible for Obama to run now and not be discounted but that Obama isn’t giving Jackson any respect for that.

Personally I think Jackson has spent so much time in tv studios mic’ed up that he is used to it and didn’t give it a second thought. Familiarity breeds contempt. He was only whispering so other people in the room didn’t hear him.

I am wondering if this would be considered as much of a story if Jackson hadn’t included the comment about neutering Obama? Otherwise he was only making a private comment that he felt Obama is talking down to blacks. Throughout the primaries people were saying Obama had a superiority attitude and was talking down to voters.

where is wednesday’s atss? happy b-day Pat.

I think this is an introduction to the nation of how the blk community communicates. Non-blk people don’t really understand what is going down. Brother Jackson and Brother Obama are just working our their issues.

Was there a Wednesday ATSS? Please post it.

Jim.

Happy Birthday Pat in Minnesota!!!!!!! ~~~ and many more……

NO FED TAX ON OVERTIME! McCAINE WILL WIN THE WHITHOUSE FOR SURE..

Alisyn posed the question of if not sanctions, what should be done?

I’ve heard that trying to introduce western goods, capitalism and hopefully western culture. I don’t know if that would work w/ Iran, their culture would be tough to crack in that regard. One thing about Iran, they do not have an identity crisis. They know who they are and who they hate, Isreal, U.S. etc…..

Should we let Isreal handle them? I don’t know about that, such an action would likely put more of a strain on our military in the area and possibly undermine the improvements we and the Iraqi’s have made.

Do they not currently trade with China and Russia? Is there any leverage there?

Hi Alisyn, Great question this morning, I agree with all the above everyone is right on this morning!!! Good one about Brian, you are quick!!!!! I’d like to know what state Tim Castleman is from, I know the trucks here on Michigan highway are not driving 55mph, I’m on cruise at 70 they pass us all the time…. Here in our area we have those wonderful garbage trucks from Cananda on the highways all the time…..McCain in 08!!!!!

Ok, I’m new and have a question.

What is ATSS? I know I will have a Homer moment (DOH!) when someone tells me.

As Mr. Jackson’s friend Oprah has quoted numerous times: “When someone shows you a window into themselves, believe it.”. This was no mistake, his apology sounds empty and everything that Marshall has said is right on. Mr. Jackson is as two-faced as they come and thanks to Fox News, we all got to see it!!:)

Luis – I must not have made my definition of flip-flop clear. It is clear that Obama’s positions are changing daily based upon the latest polls. I see that as flip-flopping.

McCain changed his position on drilling because it is the wise thing to do at this point in time. I see that as a wise move with a solid foundation of knowledge.

We don’t want a leader that is so invariable that he/she can’t change, but we do want someone with a solid core rooted in a fundamental respect and love of this country.

sean,

the atss is when the monkey comes out!!

It’s the “After the Show Show” Sean. A 5 to 15 minute show only seen on the internet.

Jim. If you click on the more videos on the Home Page and then go to the bottom section and click on “Shows”. It list F&F, click on that and the AtSS from the last 2 days is generally there.

chas

Marshall,

I apologize if I jumped the gun (too much coffee and Obama hatred, LOL ).

Carry on my brother.

Vote McCain or join the insane…………………………………;)

Morning fellow bloggers. Your smile was really great this morning Alisyn. Nothing new to add to the comments. Jackson has always been a waste of good oxygen.

How about this for Iran: Let’s announce that same sex marriage is legal in Iran!! That would stir things up for them. By the way, where the h-e-double tootch picks is Sean Penn in this mess? He was all over protecting an Iraqi regime that used wealons of mass destruction against it’s own people.

good morning,
i think jesse jackson knew exactly what he was doing. like you said he is no greenhorn to an open mic. what his intentions were i have no clue. if nothing else it once again keeps him in the spotlight. marshall, i thought flip-flop was a type of summer-time sandal!

DOH!

Thanks Chas.

JT, funny solution.

ps. I am not Sean Penn. I’m younger and better looking.

I like Bobby Jindal.

As always, you do look mav-e-lust this morning Alisyn.

It did enter my mind that if those buttons on your skirt were bright blue, you would look very patriotic.

Sean ATSS = After the Show Show ….. you can tune to watch it on your computer

Good Morning Alisyn,
I dont know what happen to my comment,
but Its all of the above, [ Happy Birthday Pat]
Good Morning everyone.
Sal

Did Jackson’s comments really surprise anyone?????

55 mph speed limit? I’d like to know where that guy is driving where the trucks are already driving 55 or 60. He’s sure not on I-70. (Right, Steve?)

Happy Birthday Pat and many happy returns.

Morning Alisyn,

You mentioned the stalling of the Bronx Zoo ride for five hours. In the story it said the situation was worsened by a thunderstorm. My thought is that I hope no one was in need of using the bathroom during that five hours. Agghh!

The thing about Jackson is if Obama gets elected guys like Jackson and Sharpton become irrelevant. They won’t have the leverage they so need to control and muscle their way through the political landscape. IMO anyway.

Stay hot!

Good morning Alysin,

Way back…maybe even before the wheel was invented..I remember watching Jesse Jackson on TV. He was addressing a group of young people. One of the first things he said was something similar to “take off your hats and show some respect”. He gave a fine speech about becoming a good example for his race. I was very impressed. This myabe have been the early 1970’s.

I am sure things slip out that are NOT intended for the media but these are probably the minority.

Happy Birthday to PAT in Minnesota. I hope you have some time to do something you really enjoy today. Celebrate the day to the fullest.

Quilts of Valor
Making quilts for the war wounded one soldier at a time

Jindal rocks. He speaks very directly. No equivocation.

Watch him, he has a good start to become more than gov of LA.

Good morning Alysin,

Nicely put Chas…and I agree, of course, and it is sad that the reverend Jesse decided this course isn’t it? And the Al, has followed right behind…too toooooo sad.
Good morning Sean and Luis and Marshall, and alllllll the smart fans on this most wonderful place to be. My day off!!! And the third “anniversary” of the ankle and the wheely chair event, that introduced me to the land of blogging. For those who “followed” that event, the ankle is healing, or so the “nurse practitioner” assured me, anyway. Of course, being a military brat, I certainly recognize “clinic” medicine, and continue to wonder why one pays premium prices to NOT SEE THE DOCTOR??? Hummm…seems a little bit of a scam? Yes, I think so, for sure. To further agitate the situation, the “doctor” was unable to address the arm issue, as “that would be separate from”, so would need a different appointment. Not to worry though…no exam was given regarding the arm, BUT, the “nurse practitioner” told me it was “probably” my neck, and gave me a PAMPHLET. There was absolutely no necessity to go to the office for this appointment. Could have done the whole of it over the phone while floating in the pool!!!!!! I am furious, and I think citizens should be outraged by the high handed behavior of this community. I AM totally covered by insurance, and this IS ridiculous.
The judge is on and I do love the judge. We continue to be amazed by the jr senator from Illinois, and his “supporters”. Just whose side are these people on anyway? One must wonder for sure. We continue to wait for the convention to see who the dems actually appoint to represent them in this election.
In the mean time…it is MY BIRTHDAY!!! and I am off to start the celebration today. Swimming and playing all day with friends. NO t.v. to interfere with the festive mood…lots of laughing and swimming, ending with a concert down town, by the river, this evening. It is a beautiful day here in Ohio, in this beautiful country we are privileged to be citizens of. Don’t forget to smile, smile and smile again.
Have a wonderful day everyone, and Alysin…thanks again for this most wonderful place to be.

I like Jindal too. He is definitely one to watch for in the future.

Do you think that Obama has been away from that church long enough that all the brainwashing has diminished and he now realizes he should have been a Republican all along?

Morning all!

I’m posting all sorts of stuff and it’s not showing up.

Well, I guess my comments about Jesse Jackson and Obama weren’t acceptable by the computer. Too bad the FNC computer edits things before even Alisyn has a chance to read and approve or delete them.

I Jindal can straighten out the political mess that is Louisiana he will be a national hero for sure! That will be one BIG job!!!!

Good morning Alisyn, You look simply radiant! Any chance of getting Dennis Miller on F&F? Wish I could stay and watch you do the news all day.

Jackson, Sharpton, Wright, Farrakhan…Racists!

Obama, have some stones and tell Jackson to pack sand and don’t accept his apology. He is apologizing because he got caught and it’s damage control, not because he is concerned with your friendship.

Jim

Jindal is the kind of common sense leader this country needs.
I hope to see him become POTUS some day.

Hi Ali

Everytime a white person says something wrong about a black person Al Sharpton is always on your show. Where’s is he now that a black person says something about a black person?

Regards
mike form kansas

My post didn’t show either, Jim. We’ll see if this one comes up. When I refresh, it never quite finishes. Anyone have any ideas?

Whether Jessie intended his comments to be heard publicly or not, it’s the first thing he has said that I agree with.

little jesse will have no purpose in life if obama gets elected….maybe he can go back to school and improve his speaking ability….or maybe he can get a coanchor job with that head case on msnbc olberman

I cannot stand Keith Olberman.
I am not a huge O’Reilley fan but he is head and shoulders above Olberman. Not even a contest.

Thanks Liz…that makes me feel better.:)

Good morning everyone, Howdy Alisyn hope you have a wonderful day, you make mine better each morning! I am I don’t think Rev.Jackson cared that his comments were broadcast. I agree with Marshall ,had Imus made the same remarks people would want to lynch him.

Ok, I am limited to one-liners this morning.

Jackson: turd.

Obama screwed by Wright, Jackson and Clinton.

The same thing happened when we were talking about Al Sharpton on Imus last week the comment were not posting whos working this blog.

Vote: McCain

Hi Alisyn,

I think if we could hear what many of our leaders and public figures say behind closed doors, or their true thoughts, the Nation would be crestfallen. The faux civility and what passes for principles in Washington have become cartoonish. I’m not a Jackson fan, but it’s telling that he feels strong enough rergarding Obama’s shape shifting lately to be overheard. So much for Secretary of the Interior Jesse!

By the way Ali, I posted a comment yesterday which did not make it, probably a wi-fi bump here. Also I slammed Barry Bonds pretty hard. I ended the post with the words below which may be against the rules, I hope not. I was responding to what i would do with 4 years left to live till 2012:

I would tell my girlfriend Suzanne that she is the air that I breathe, and that even the end of the world could not dim my eternal love for her. I would tell her she has rescured me from quiet anonymity, and is the woman I prayed for even as a child. I would ask her to Marry me, and if she sees this, she can take this as the first of a thousand ways I will offer her my heart on bended knee.

Thanks Ali, Fox Rox

And thanks God, I promise I’ll take care of your beautiful girl.

Good Morning Alysin, Chas, Sal, Liz, Marshall, Jim, Jimmy and everyone else.

Alysin,

Same thing is happening here, but am patient, and maybe the comments will show up eventually. In the mean time, I continue to watch f&f, and enjoy our most wonderful Alysin, and if my musings don’t show up, so be it, and oh well. Is really fun, when one can interact….converse with fellow bloggers, but the gods, gurus and the 14th floor have the last word….or my puter is still only working part of the time??? Who knows…and oh well. I am still smiling though. It is a happy day!!! lol

>The expression on Dr. Reed V. Tuckson’s face was priceless. I don’t think he was very impressed >with the rhyming rev.

>Comment by Alisyn Camerota
>July 10th, 2008 at 7:49 am
>I noticed that.

Has anyone noticed with the “Hot Mic” comments that Rev. Jackson made, he also made a “cutting off” gesture right after the “cut __ off” comment?

Come on, does anybody really think the Rev meant such a thing, and after his apology, does anybody really think Obama’s campaign didn’t fully forgive and forget?
Does anybody really believe there is chaos among the Bro’s? Surely nobody thinks “anything” goes as long as we elect Obama. I’m Sure nobody would even think that the Rev is working on perhaps a Cabinet spot, Imagine the racist’s making such a claim in such a hypnotic state.
Surely the Wizard will get us home Toto, and we can tell Auntie Em about our adventures in Oz.

Have a great day Alisyn, and all the others.

My Obama/Jackson comment finally showed up. So maybe there is hope for everyone else who said their’s didn’t show up either.

What is the answer to sanctions?

If I had a perfect answer I’d rule this planet and you’d be my personal assistant…lol

The obvious answer don’t allow tyrants. But no one has the guts to follow through on that one. So until we can get rid of tyrants we will be forced to wimper and cry with the UN, (United Nitwits), and pas yet another one.

In the words of Thomas Jefferson; “Rebellion to Tyrants is obedience to God.”.

chas

I was ready to have breakfast, but watching Hillary is making me gag!

Thanks for the Birthday wishes everyone.

Does anyone seem to notice, Alisyn keeps getting younger while we all get older? Hmmmm…..she must have a secret!!!

Alisyn??????

Pat

Gini (or should I say “Red”? )

Happy Birthday. I hope you and Pat have a great day.

Best,

Sean

I saw Sharpton last night on H&C I think and he basically wanted to change the subject. Same old song & dance by the same old players.

If a white person had made those remarks all we would be hearing today is the race card being played

Sharpton got the worse of the other guest, his name escapes me.

Anyway, the other guest said (I am paraphrasing) that when the Republican were talking about family values, being good fathers, etc…. Rev Sharpton, Jackson, and the black community were up in arms, offended, etc…..

But now that a black person is saying that, it is ok. (Although, was it ok when Bill Cosby said it? )

That is hypocritical.

Does anyone have any understanding of why Obama was upset with the family interview his family did with Inside Edition? I saw the clips several times and I just don’t understand why that would bother anyone at all. It made him look very human and he has a beautiful young family. Another mystery in all of this……

Morning Gini. Happy Birthday.

I hope you have a very special day.

Now I have had a post disappear.

Alysin,

Jim and Liz…patience. My comment did post. And yours will too. A small frustration on this most wonderful place to be, but, tis ok. I have another out there also. Yakky this morning? Yes, I am. ~~sigh~~ but, this is such a fun place, just can’t help myself….lol
Good morning Sal…Mike Malone…and allllllllll the smart and informed that come to this most wonderful place to be!

Marshall,
I think it deals with two issues. First, it appears to be exploitation of his children on his part. Second, if you bring the kids into the campaign, they are fair game for scrutiny.

Not really the actions of a responsible, loving parent.

Happy Birthday Gini! Two birthday girls today! How ’bout that…..

Alysin,

Thanks Chas! I am going to I think, yep…for sure. As you well know, I expect to celebrate the whole month of July!! And am happy to share with all my fellow cancers…happy birthday to us all!!! lol

LIZ K “I was ready to have breakfast, but watching Hillary is making me gag!”

I Love it……………………….ROFLMAO

Don’t ya’ll just love our Governor Jindal. He’s cleaning up down here and not everyone likes it. Many government workers quit because new ethics rules- didn’t want to get caught. AND our legislators had decided to vote themselves a 300% pay raise. They told him you better side with us and pass it! He said I work for the people of La and veto it. We love him! It’s Jindal -sounds like gen-dul.
Trudy
Louisiana

Trudy,
He is a definite improvement for your state.

Now if we could just do something about Les Miles . . . . .

Trudy Crochet – Take care of Jindal. He sounds like a true patriot that has see enough corruption and wants to make a difference.

Did anyone else read that story about the New Orleans cop that got suspended for wearing the wrong uniform shirt on his last day after being a cop for 35 years. The people behind that should be shamed right out of their jobs!

Alysin,

Sean…these kids are too young I think, to be an issue on any day. I think it was just what it was…nothing more. A picture of a nice family? Sure it is/was. The jr senator from Illinois needs to relax and not make this an issue at all. A man/woman, has every right to say hey! Look at my nice family, and not be attacked for any motivation to exploit that family. He is running for president after all, and his family is of interest to the citizens. lol

Liz K, I feel your pain.

Ali

Yes! it is!!, and though the answer may be yes I will propose until I am hoarse, I will propose at the edge of the Grand Canyon, at the Top of the Mark, at the edge of my beautiful Pacific. And when we two, old and gray, review our lives, our children, grand children, I will propose again, and pray for her millionth yes.

She will see it sometime today after work, I’m glad I can share it with my Fox Friends, I’m King of the World!!

Eric

Why is the AtSS so short on some days? You guys were just getting on a roll and we all wanted to hear more about Uranus!

He is a VAST improvement for our state. We were all worried he’d leave for VP – but how great if he cleaned up La first then go forward… how would that be for a resume’ ! Finally someone with common sense -seems like they lose all common sense when they hit the doors in Baton Rouge or DC is it something they’re made to drink? I’m a Cajun in Southwest La and we say give 5 Cajuns a chance to build the FENCE and it ought be done by next Tuesday…ha Go LSU
Trudy

Alysin,

Yep Sean…and was called RED, all through school! So it does make me smile, some more!! Thanks kiddo…all signed up for SS now, and ready to enjoy the moment, and hopefully many more to come. The kids sort of like me, now that they are “of age”, and the hubby, who still likes me after allllllll these years, is panic struck that I would leave him to deal with ,alllllllllll by himself!! :)

Happy Birthday, Gini and Pat,
Good Morning, Alisyn and Everyone and a have a great day.
Sal

Why does the ASS keep getting shorter? Whoever is in charge is calling an end to it too soon. The conversations are just getting good and up pops the monkey to end the show.

Only 5 minutes today. Wasn’t the ASS to be 10 or more minutes? It is lots of fun but it is getting to be so short it is hardly worth the effort sometimes.

Eric…now YOU are awesome!!!! lol

Yeah, wait!

I’m not a girl! I’m a 44 year old guy from MN.

Pat

Happy Birthday to Gini!!!

I hope maybe you get the laptop you have been wanting and one for just YOU…no having to share. Enjoy your day and celebrate being a great Mom and Grandma.

Eric…….best of luck with your proposal. Here is hoping it is a big YES.

Oops

Eric, Eric, Eric.

Are you really proposing? In that manner? Tsk, tsk. I would advise against it.

Don’t set the bar too high at the beginning with the “romantic” junk. You will constantly be trying to outdo yourself. That stuff takes a lot of work and you will run out of ideas eventually. Not a good situation to be in. Think about that.

HI.
I see the bloggers are talking to each other again like it is there blog!!!
I have hated Jesse Jackson since he had a baby by that other lady when he is
married and from news reports paid her a lot of money from the Rainbow
Colition for support or to keep her mouth shut???
What he says on mic and off mic is not worth the time he uses on the news
casts!

Dear Alisyn…I think Jesse Jackson’s own words provide great insight and hold a tremendous message for all of those in, and seeking, the public eye…

“No matter what level of celebrity, no matter what amount of personal wealth, and no matter what degree of professional accomplishment, [those] individuals portray a facade of propriety while living as if they exist on the street.”

I understand now why Dr. Martin Luther King said he distrusted Jesse Jackson.

Shalom Aleichem, Mark P.

Trudy, I am a Razorback fan living close to Fayettenam. See you the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Awww its Pat from SNL? Where is Kelly, Sam, Alex, and any other genderless name.

Who can forget the picture of JFK in the oval office with John-John peeking out from beneath the desk. Young presidents with young kids have always made them a part of the situation, so i don’t see it as a negative for Obama. Guess there is something there I just don’t get, but no big deal…..

sure he should have known the mic was live be cause he wasnt on live being spoken to he probably thought the only people that might here it are the dudes in the production booth. he wasnt live to air so his comments should be taken as such. and on the petrol price ripoff we all are copping even here in australia $1.67/l $7.51/gallon but we have nearly all taxis and private cars that run on lpg liquid petrolium gas similar to cng which can be made from coal. we pay 0.67c/l $3.05/gallon for lpg and you get similar milage.we have it available from most service stations why arnt you using lpg in the usa or are you

dear alisyn
the one thing i have learned in my life as a police officer is that one must always be cynical.it kept me alive. and,,, most politician’s strech the truth only for their benifit, not the people. so who’s kidding whom, who whatever
love you on the show.
jackmac

Hi Deloris! Good to see your happy, smiling face this morning.

Alisyn…counting my lines…you’re funny!

My bigger posts never made it today. No worries, I’ll have more to ramble about tomorrow.

love you on the show
being cynical kept me alive as a police officer. all pols are only interested in what they say and how it effects them and only them. talk about being cynical
jackmac

Deloris…whatsup kiddo??? Are you the only one allowed to speak then? Hummm…must ponder that. I am amazed you would not join in, or scan past, but the complaint is mean spirited, I think. lol

You must be a real blast at a party Deloris.

Bet you pull the wings off flies just for the fun of it.

I was married to a Deloris once….once.

Deloriiiiiiisssssssss!

And as long as we are being fussy Deloris would that be there blog as in over there? Or like there she blows?

Since Ms. Alisyn hasn’t complained perhaps you should just accept the maybe their just having a good time there.

chas

Ah Sir Knight…me thinks you are correct regarding our Deloris. At the least anyway, and her smiley lines are in very great jeopardy me thinks?? Yes, of that I am sure. A shame too, as this remains a most wonderful place to be, and she should be enjoying herself. However, the “hate” word has popped up in her comment, so we know she has some problems. Deloris…you know the man personally then? Jesse that would be, so you HATE him? Or is it that you dislike his politics, and your acquaintance with the MAN is so close, you also HATE him…I am confused. My usual state though, so no surprise. A personal observation on my part, personally sent to you, as you apparently wish to engage personally?? Consider yourself now a part of the personal part of this most wonderful place to be, and welcome!

Jesse Jackson is a phony. He didn’t used to be long, long ago. He’s a “reverend” in name only. I was raised by a minister and the comment Jesse made is just disgusting and not Christian. Here’s a man who fathered a child out of wedlock while mentoring Bill Cinton during the Lewinsky affair. I can’t believe anyone would follow this dishonest disgrace to preachers everywhere.

As a former teacher, Chas, I love your wit!

If Barack Obama wins the presidency, people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton won’t have anything to spew venom about anymore! I believe they really don’t want him to win because he would negate their existence.

Thank you Ms. Liz. I consider that the highest praise.

Alisyn,
Are you not allowed to comment on the controversial issues?

Reading through the blogs it seems there is an agrement that had a republican white man said what the racist JJ said, there would be such an uproar. If the “media” would ignore JJ he would go away. Say for instance BHO were to be elected, JJ and racist Al Shaprton would be have to give up their “civil rights” issues because a black would have achieved the highest office in the land without affirmative action. I guess they could still find a “white” company to sue or blackmail.

Have a nice day.

Hi Alisyn and all my other insightful bloggers,
Jesse Jackson? Wow, is he new to this game? Has he not been in the medias eye for so long that he would know and realize that what he was doing might be recorded? They were sitting in a newsroom ready to be interviewed correct? I mean, they were listening to this conversation that took place in a bathroom or closest right?
Jesse Jackson is a walking contridiction and his remarks should be displayed for all. I think he meant what he said or he wouldn’t have said it. He wanted to “cut his nuts off”…………..and this is their (Afro-Americans) spokesman?
His words should be taken to heart and his apology recognized for what it is, an attempt to try and defuse the fallout from his idiotic comments. I can’t believe this guy walked with the great Martin Luther King

I don’t know any man or woman of the cloth that uses language like Jesse Jackson did referring
to Obama. Its’ disgraceful.

I find that most offensive of all. He should be stripped of the title “Reverend”.

Hi Alisyn and fellow bloggers, I have a feeling Jackson lost his marbles there, but am so happy that we all know now how he really feels.I feel bad for his son, working for Obama & having a goof of a Father. Also, did Obama have a choice in accepting the apology? If he wouldn’t have, then this would have blown up to God knows what. Have a great day!

Has anyone considered that it was planned?

Think about it, Obama takes a shift to the right on Iraq, people start talking about that. Then along comes Jackson and now no one has anything to say about Obama.

And i don’t believe that this is the first time this has happened.

chas

Jesse is only for Jesse. Grreat to see E.D. Hill back. We love you too, Alisyn.

Jesse’s been in the public eye for decades and like Alisyn said, he knows his way around a mic. He also has been manipulating the media for just as many decades. So, how in the world could he let this bone-head slip-up happen? Or, was it actually Jesse’s genius at work here again?

All the pundits seem to be in agreement that Jesse’s remarks will help Barrack because the public will look at them as a cheap shot. And we all know the American people will always take the side of the ill-treated. Also, did you notice how quickly Barrack so “graciously” accepted Jesse’s apology? That too works in Barrack’s favor.

But of course you now have to ask the question, how could Jesse (the canny manipulator of the media that he is) make such a mistake, (to embarrass himself that way?) I don’t believe it was a mistake at all. It was brilliant on his part. He wanted those remarks heard.

Here’s why I believe so:

He obtained sympathy (especially from white middle class American’s. The vote he needs most to garner to win) for Barrack and at the same time put himself back in the public eye as the “Great Champion of African Americans”. Whether misguided or not, it doesn’t matter. The African American community will see it as him standing up for them. It’s a win/win.

Wait and Watch how this all plays out. I’ll bet the MSM will soon be reporting on how sympathetic the American public is for Barrack on this matter, and yet at the same time reporting on how the African American community can understand why Jesse said those things.

Brilliant, Jesse, Brilliant! Or, am I just over-thinking this, and Jesse is simply turning into an idiot in his old age??

Note to Mike M. from a few threads back: No dice

When the lady reporter said the only way to beat Tiger Woods would be for the rest of the pros to take him out and lynch him, Jackson and the rest of the “equal rights, self proclaimed non-racist” individuals wanted her head on a platter and for her career to be destroyed. Where are the people now. Why aren’t all of these self righteous individuals and their followers not calling for Jacksons immediate dismissal. Why aren’t they calling him racist, insinsitive, out of touch, etc. etc. etc.? Why aren’t you people marching on Washington calling for his head? Oh, I get it. He’s black.

Obama would no more denounce Jackson than he would denounce his own white grandmother…….. Until it becomes to his advantage to do so.

Marshall,

I could not have said that better myself……….or could I? LOL

I think that much of the African American and progressive communities will increasingly feel less enamored by Mr. Obama. He very clearly and quite effectively used the African American Church and progressive movement to win the Democratic primary; and now he is heading to the center but quick. While a 90% Black vote was sufficient to crush Senator Clinton throughout the South and Southeast among Democratic primary voters; the demographics are crazy different in the general election in those Red States. Obama now needs moderates and white down scale voters something fierce, so to the center he goes. The Jackson dustup helps Obama with the voters he now wants to attract – he looks less liberal. The question is whether the youth vote and Black vote will turn out in enormous numbers if Obama appears to be betraying progressive values. It all will be quite interesting. At this point, Obama has received a free ride with little challenge from the press or his “core” constituencies. He should be tested – it is good for everyone. Bill Clinton will be proven right about Mr. Obama in the long haul, I believe. The Obama campaign has a real fantasy feel to it. It needs to find roots in the real world where politics is supposed to be about tough debates and differences. You can’t please all the people all the time.

Do ya think Jackson got caught up in the moment and thought he was back at CNN?

Jesse Jackson is no better than Al Sharpton and all those others supposedly civil rights leaders, they all racists themselves, and all they care about is causing controversy and stirring up peoples emotions by doing these outrageous things.

BHO is not different than Jackson or Sharpton. He is like a revamped version, for the next generation of Anti Americans. Its sickening when you think about it.

Hey Sean-

I totally agree with what you said about that crazy person who works over at that liberal left leaning network(which i wont mention) and is at the same time slot at Bill OReilly. That is precisely the reason that network is taking a nosedive in the ratings. All the liberal person does is shoot off nasty comments about mundane ideas that dont even make sense.

Bill OReilly show is the very best, quality journalism at its finest. And that is why FNC is number one

Marshall-

I saw that report about BHO’s family on Access Hollywood or one of those entertainment shows. I dont really want to know why BHO is having second thoughts about that interview. And i dont i would go that far and compliment his family or anyone associated with this guy. He is a true enigma and Anti American.

Those programs are so liberal, all they have been recently is ranting and raving about how this BHO is going to win the election. I basically just stay with FNC and tune out the rest.

Hey Gini-

I hope you are having a fabulous Birthday on your very special day. Take Care.

Anyone know that happened to Laura Ingraham show? Why was it cancelled only several week after it began? It looks like ED Hill is taking over that spot.

that’s why they call him Al SharpTONGUE

Another advantage for McCain is going for him is the fact that pet owners are going to vote for him. I know a lot of people who own pet, so i am going to try and spread the word. BHO is probably is an animal hater.

I remember that Tiger woods comments. Even Tiger hinself didnt think it was a big deal, but Sharpton and Jackson tried to stir up anger for their own personal financial gains.

I will never ever misspell Barack’s name again…I will never ever misspell Barack’s name again..I will never ever misspell Barrack’s nam……sheeeeeeeeoooot…I will never ever misspell Barack’s name again…..I will never ever misspell Barack’s name again…I will never ev

I just read that Greg Kelly is the new co-host w/Jody Applegate for “Good Morning New York”…The FOX affiliate in NYC..

Way-to-go Greg!

Cheers

Eric

make sure you come and tell us what happens

The sound effects and music cannot be heard in the After the Show Show. It’s been that way for a week or so. Therefore, I couldn’t hear the funny clips used in today’s AtSS. And last Wednesday when Shannon performed, I could hear her singing, but not the music playing under her.

Isn’t Jesse Jackson supposed to be a man of the cloth ? such talk from a Reverend

isn’t Jackson supposed to be a man of the cloth ?

Give Jesse a break! He’s so stupid. Instead of being part of the solution, he’s the problem…..

I thought what he said was just too funny. When you are not “on the air” and talking like he was, he was telling it like he feels. He should be a man and just say he meant it instead of trying to make excuses. Unless he is afraid of Obama or his crazy followers.

What is the deal with Greg Kelly showing up on NY 5- Good Day NY? Does he really want to do NY local news? I’d think anyone would prefer the national cable gig!!FNC obviously decided he needed to be moved out of the weekend position. ANy insight anyone?

Alysin-

Some folks will say anything to keep their name in the 24 Hour News Cycle. Now look at how many time JJ will be on TV just to explain his comments, and whatever else he wants to talk about. Your probably right, it may not have been a slip, but who knows? In 24 hours we will be into another news story and all will be a distant memory.

He should be ashamed of himself. He should know better being in the public eye to keep his comments to himself with the threat of potential “Hot Mics”. And he calls himself a Rev. Rev’s do not make comments like that about ANYONE. Oh yes……they always seem to apologize later when they get caught. Too late.

Three possibles:

1. He knew he would be heard.

2. He didn’t think he would be heard.

3. He wanted to be heard.

AM-

Dont feel bad about misspelling BHO’s name. After he loses this election, we probably wont have to worry about it anymore. Just abbreviate his name like how i do

Thanks for the Greg Kelly update. Its great to see him back at the anchor desk once again.

Marshall-

That is exactly the reason why Imus needs to move to satellite radio. Then he can basically say whatever he wants, without people being offended.

Cindy-

I think maybe Greg Kelly wanted to take a break from national spotlight, and be a part of his roots as a local news journalist. I dont think its such a bad thing.

Marshall-

I have an idea, flip flopping is when a liberal candidate like BHO changes his position just so people can vote for him. John McCain on the other hand, is just exploring his views on the world. You have to remember, he wants to be the peoples president. There is a huge difference there.

Good Morning

Jesse Jackson and David Duke should move to California and marry each other. They are the perfect match!

Why in the world would Jackson want these comments heard? He is all about self-promo but his comments could not help him under any scenario. The sad thing is that everyone on Fox really relished his error. The way Fox handled this underscores the growing lack of professionalism that exists on the show. Professionals (or just simple human beings with some manners) would have ignored it and erased it and let Mr. Jackson know that it happened (that is what “friends” would have done). He, just like you or I , would have appreciated it. Instead, Fox jumped on it and discussed it adnauseum. The Judges suggestion that Jackson’s had gesture looked like he was going to do it was ludicrous. We all say things that we would not want repeated on the National News. I am no fan of Mr. Jackson whatsoever, but what Fox did was simply discourteous to Jackson. But I guess that that has become the way of the world – or maybe I have been watching too much of Fox and the cynicism is wearing off on me. Maybe Fox should drop the r and call it “Fox and Fiends.”

I want you to know that I still think you are wonderful.

Alisyn this was one of my comments,
Chas your right on it was planned, by the Obama campaign all the way,
so we cant say the black community is united behind Obama, and the only reason they are voting for him is because he is black, other then that, its the only reason because he has no experience what so ever to hold the job of the Presidency.
Sal

that whole thing was a set up on Fox. And if they are going to give a story then they should tell the whole story not show us half. And then tell everybody
there is more that they are not going to report.

Look – this is the problem with Obama’s ‘fake’ campaign based upon change. When we tries to run to the right, people like Jesse Jackson wan tto cut his ____ off. This is his doing, his fault. You can’t be a candidate of change, then go about business the same way every other politician does. I don’t care how smart, charismatic, or engaging you are. Eventually, people see you for who you are.
BTW – we launched a site aimed to expose the Obama campaign of hate and intimidation, check it out at:
http://www.obamahatespeech.com

after watching the entire video clip I would like to know why the gentleman sitting beside Jackson has not been asked what he found to be so funny

Brad – Thanks so much for the tip, but I’m sure I now have the spelling of Barack’s name down pat. If I were to go with bho, I’d then have to remember to hold the shift key down.

Greg Kelly’s new gig is a good one, I think. It’s full-time and it’s stable. No doubt it pays well also!

Have a great weekend.

I don’t have a slogan for the Hillary t shirt but I do have one for the reverend’s tshirt

NUTS To YOU!!!!!

You cant make this stuff up.

AM-

You dont have to hold the shift key down if you dont want to make his name capitalized. We just want to show what BHO’S real name really is, Barrack Hussein Obama Jr. Can you imagine him as possibily our next commander in chief, with a name like that? Our country is going to be in more danger than it already is, especially with his ideas about face to face talks with Iran and other terrorist organizations.

I am guessing Greg Jarrett is going to permanently be in the 4pm news slot with Julie Banderas. I remember him from his Court TV days. Great memories.

I GOT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU ABOUT JESSIE JACKSON. I HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR HIM RIGHT NOW THEN I EVER HAVE. THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW WE ARE ALL HUMAN AND SOMETIMES WE SAY WHAT WE HAVE ON OUR HUMAN MINDS. DOSE IT MAKE IT RIGHT OR WRONG WELL THAT IS FOR US ALL TO FIGURE OUT BUT FOR ME I GOT TO SAY I LAUGHED SO HARD I CRIES. HE COULD HAVE SAID A LOT WORSE OR DENIED THE WHOLE THING BUT AT LEAST HE WAS MAN ENOUGH TO SAY HE SAID IT AND HE WAS SORRY. THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

HILLARY MAY BE DOWN BUT NOT KNOCKED OUT HOW ABOUT A T-SHIRT WITH HILL AND BROCK AS BOXERS AS IN IT ISNT OVER YET. OR SOMETHING LIKE WILL WORK FOR WHITE HOUSE LOL HAHAHA

Maybe I didnt put right in my previous comment,
just say there was a candidate that was a Italian-American and I didnt agree with
that persons views, I would not vote for that person just because that person was a Italian-American like myself, and I dont think its the same in the,
Afro-American community, I think they will vote for him just because he is black, it has to be the only reason, because he has no experience whats so ever to be President, and I think it was planned by the Obama campaign to make the American people think otherwise.

Everything that happens during a political campaign, is by design.
