Of all the reactions to Jesse Jackson's "regretfully crude" and
"hurtful" (his words) comments about Barack Obama, these two are my
favorite: The New York Post quotes Al Sharpton as saying Obama
"is running for president of all Americans, not just
African-Americans... [We] must be careful not to segregate Senator
Obama and impose some litmus test that is unfair and unproductive."
Even topping Sharpton as responsible statesman among race-baiters
is Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr.'s statement: "I'm deeply outraged
and disappointed in Reverend Jackson's reckless statements about
Senator Barack Obama." Geez, you wouldn't even think they were
related.
