Jesse Jackson Jackson was caught on tape saying he would like to “cut [Barack Obama’s] nuts out” because Jackson believe Obama is “talking down to black folks” by giving them moral lessons. Yesterday Obama sent a message to black youth encouraging them not to pursue dreams of basketball or rap stardom and instead rely on an education to succeed.

According to Bill O’Reilly who aired the tape on his show (via Drudge): ‘We held back some of this conversation… we didn’t feel it had any relevance to the conversation this evening. We are not out to get Jesse Jackson. We are not out to embarrass him and we are not out to make him look bad. If we were, we would have used what we had, which is more damaging than what you have heard’…

Jackson apologized for the comments and there is currently no word from the Obama campaign.
