Did Jessie Jackson sacrifice himself in order to help Barack Obama's campaign? What if Jackson's off-the-microphone remarks were planned? What if he wanted everyone to think he despises Obama so much that he wishes to 'take him off at the nuts'?
Remember that one of the central staples of the Hillary Clinton campaign was to scare white people away from Obama. Bill was usually the 'bad cop' in this ploy as he stated again and again that Barack never does well with key Caucasian groups he needs to win and that he does well only in those states with large African-American populations.
The express intent of this political strategy is to create fear in the minds of Caucasian voters, particularly white women.
But the thing is, the one nationally-known Black figure that Caucasians fear and detest outside of Al Sharpton is Jessie Jackson. And if Jackson of all people hints that he despises Obama because Obama isn't 'talking the talk' Black folk like to hear, then what better way to scare white people, not away from Obama but toward Obama?
If Caucasians are led to believe that Obama is unacceptable to people like Jackson, then perhaps some of them would not be so reluctant to support him.
Make no mistake, people like Al Sharpton, Spike Lee, and Jessie Jackson would LOVE for a Black Man to be President, despite any personal jealousy they may have.
The issue, however, is not race primarily. The issue is the type of 'hope' and 'change' Obama would usher in--a total revamping of the nature of this country from top to bottom. This has been the goal of Leftists all along, and a bad case of personal jealousy is not going to prevent them from doing anything possible to secure a victory.
And thus, don't count out the possibility that Jackson planned the whole thing.
