Rumor: Jesse Jackson Called Obama The N-Word
On The Factor last night, Bill O’Reilly said Fox News had much more damaging footage of Jesse Jackson’s “hot mic” episode but chose not to air it.
Obviously, telling people you have something they can’t see is gonna get chins wagging and bloggers digging. So it should come as no surprise that the thugs over at Gawker are claiming to have a source inside Fox News that’s giving details on the missing Jackson footage.
The supposed insider is telling Gawker that among other things Jackson used the n-word when referring to Obama. It says a lot that America’s biggest race hustler has such disdain for the first black man with a real shot at winning the White House.

Caught On Tape: Jesse Jackson Wants To Cut Obama’s N*ts Off
This from Drudge:
SHOCK: REV. JESSE JACKSON SLAMS OBAMA, WANTS TO ‘CUT HIS N**S OUT’… APOLOGIZES FOR ‘CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS’ CAUGHT ON TAPE… FOXNEWS WILL PLAY JACKSON TAPE IN ITS ENTIRETY TONIGHT ON ‘O’REILLY’ 8 PM ET/5 PM PT… DEVELOPING…
Jackson Statement: For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama_s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.
_My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility.
_That was the context of my private conversation and it does not reflect any disparagement on my part for the historic event in which we are involved or my pride in Senator Barack Obama, who is leading it, whom I have supported by crisscrossing this nation in every level of media and audience from the beginning in absolute terms._
UPDATE
this from TVNewser:
The O’Reilly Factor will air exclusive video of the Rev. Jesse Jackson making disparaging comments about Sen. Barack Obama. TVNewser has learned the comments were made prior to an interview Jackson did Sunday morning on Fox & Friends. We’re told some of the comments are so raw that O’Reilly will most likely only run a couple of soundbites.
The video will show Jackson chatting with Reid Tuckson, EVP of United Health Group. The two were at Fox News Channel’s Chicago bureau getting ready to be interviewed about a new health care initiative.
Jackson was apparently unaware his microphone was hot when he made the comments about Obama, which we’re told are racial in nature.
Lawyer: Chapman’s son sold N-word tape
Television bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman’s son taped a private phone conversation in which the reality star used a racial slur repeatedly, then sold it to a tabloid for “a lot of money,” Chapman’s lawyer said Thursday.
“I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner.”
The National Enquirer on Wednesday posted on its Web site a clip of a conversation in which Duane Chapman, star of the hit A&E series “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” repeatedly used the N-word in reference to Tucker’s girlfriend.
Chapman later apologized to his son and the woman, then learned about how the tape got into the tabloid’s hands, the lawyer said.
A&E has suspended production of the series, saying the network takes the matter seriously.
