And so, after hours of anticipation, the Rev. Jesse Jackson's vicious words aimed at Barack Obama were broadcast to the world on last night's The O'Reilly Factor. Supposedly, parts of Jackson's hot mic'd conversation was just too controversial to air, but the parts that did make the broadcast show the black community's self-anointed mouthpiece "privately" voicing his frustrations with Obama's policies about faith-based initiatives, and also how he "talks down" to blacks, what with his preaching about black fathers failing their families and community. If it weren't for the highly charged political atmosphere where every off-handed comment can become a Youtube-able soundbite replayed, in and out of context, for millions, this wouldn't be such a big deal — it's well known that Obama's message to black families has put some on the fence. But this is the Rev. Jackson, who should be more media savvy than this. And if what O'Reilly is saying about the other parts of the recording — which is "more damaging that what you heard" but supposedly not material, and would make Jackson look very, very bad — then it's clear Jackson is even more out of touch with how Politics 2.0 operates.
