When asked for his opinion on the whole Jesse Jackson/Barack Obama dust up, Dan Rather talks about his admiration for the legendary civil rights activists, and says Osama bin Laden wouldn t be possible without him. Say what? Download | Play Download | Play (h/t Bill W) I can understand accidentally mixing up Obama and Osama. It happens. What I don t understand is how Dan Rather could make the mistake of actually calling him the full Osama bin Laden. More astonishingly, how can the entire Morning Joe cast sit there and not correct him? Stupefying.

Former President Clinton on stumping for Obama and Rev. Jesse Jackson's gaffe.

The reverend apologizes for off-air remarks made while appearing on Fox News.

Fox News may not be out to get Jesse Jackson for his recent crude remarks referencing African Americans using the N word, but we assure our audience we are. Rev. Jesse Jackson caught on audio stating he’d like to cut Barack Obama’s nuts off for talking down to blacks received undue cover from Fox News in order to cover Jackson’s ass. Why they would be so gracious is a mystery to us, save for the fact that this idiot, political opportunist and religious charlatan is good for business. He and his cohort Al Sharpton are the go to guys when ever White America want to know what the latest Black peeves are.

Welcome to Show #39-08 Thanks for listening everybody. My email addresses: sunny_james@verizon.net. Also you can directly download this show from my website, www.sunnyjames.net OR www.thesunnyjamesshow.net. And of course, you can find The Sunny James Show on iTunes News and All the Other Stuff for #39-08 -- Great email from Dave No Last Name, thank you. -- What do crayons, markers, pencils and backpacks have to do with the the orange Paypal button at sunnyjames.net? Here's the deal . . . with two kids, itâs about this time of year that I start to think about September and the kids going back to school. Invariably, I think about my own upbringing and how stressed out my mother seemed at the prospect of having to buy school supplies for me. She was a single mother all of my school aged life. And it wasnât just the pencils and notebook paper but the new coat or shoes and socks that was needed. When I was married and a stay at home mother, I took pleasure in being able to buy sufficient, no, probably an excess of school supplies and my children will tell you to this day about my fondness for buying them new underwear and socks for back to school. And since Iâve been divorced, more times than not Iâve felt some of what my own mother must of felt as she tried to provide all that I needed to go to school, warm and equipped with the tools to learn. I know Iâm not alone in fantasizing about hitting the lottery. But right after buying the new house I always felt the desire to establish a foundation that helps kids and parents with the basics for going back to school. Well folks, I donât know when Iâm going to hit the lottery, but Iâve come to the conclusion that waiting to give back, shouldnât wait any longer. So, hereâs my request. Iâd like to be able to donate school supplies this September, for either one classroom or an entire grade at an elementary school here in the Nationâs Capital. If youâre interested in donating supplies send me an email to get the address or hit the Paypal button and specify Sunnyâs Place. While I may be struggling right now, there are people who are losing their homes, or donât know where the next meal is coming from or a young or mother or father has to decide between providing a meal or school supplies come September. I believe that great times are ahead of me professionally and financially. God is going to continue to bless me, but that doesnât mean that I get to ignore others in need. So if there was ever a time to hit the Paypal button, itâs now.

We here at RetroVision Media we ask ourselves daily why anyone would want to run for the presidency of these United States. Charged with covering the antics of low life political hacks and operatives, the truly ignorant and the purposefully underhanded alike we have witnessed some of the most loathsome behavior one could imagine. Barack Obama must have been crazy to take on the odious job of campaigning for the world’s top gig when he had to know from the onset how difficult that would be for a person of color. Perhaps he thought he would have gotten more support from those that have traditionally been on the side of people first politics. We as well as his campaign always knew he’d take a beating from the loonies on the far right, the white sheet clad crews, the blatant racist types etc. But Obama’s trouble is coming less from the obvious creepy cruds than from those that should be considered friendly.

Download | Play Download | Play (h/t Heather) Barack Obama may be our first post-racial politics candidate, but it s clear the media has not caught up to that paradigm, especially any show that includes John McLaughlin and Pat Buchanan amongst its panel. Kudos to Media Matters, who caught it first: On the edition of the syndicated program The McLaughlin Group that aired the weekend of July 11-13, while discussing recent comments made by the Rev. Jesse Jackson about Sen. Barack Obama, host John McLaughlin said: Question: Does it frost Jackson, Jesse Jackson, that someone like Obama, who fits the stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo a black on the outside, a white on the inside that an Oreo should be the beneficiary of the long civil rights struggle which Jesse Jackson spent his lifetime fighting for? If I had been a guest on that panel, I think my jaw would have dropped right then. Oreo? Really, that s the best place to take this conversation? To his credit, Peter Beinart does tell McLaughlin that it s an unfair depiction, but McLaughlin perseveres, thinking he s caught Beinart in a rhetorical trap when Beinart dismisses the notion that Obama should give as much weight to issues of discrimination in incarceration. BEINART: But Barack Obama doesn t talk about jobs and healthcare? He talks about it all the time. If he wanted to talk about the fact that there are too many people in prison, then you re asking him to do something that will lose him the election. That is politically no serious political strategist MCLAUGHLIN: Oh oh oh [crosstalk] BEINART: He is a man trying to win the presidency, John. MCLAUGHLIN: But then he s exactly what Jeremiah Wright says he is. He will do whatever is necessary to win. So hold up here, McLaughlin. That he doesn t talk about prison rates in the black community but encourages fathers (on Father s Day, mind you) to be present in their children s lives, he s doing whatever is necessary to win? And then you had to give the floor to Pat Buchanan: MCLAUGHLIN: Does Jackson have a legitimate point? BUCHANAN: No, he doesn t. I ll tell you why, John. Here s why. What Barack Obama is saying is the message that needs to be heard. It s the Bill Cosby message. It is Look, this is our responsibility. These are our families. White society is not responsible for our kids dropping out of schools or using drugs or going on welfare. We are. What Jesse Jackson says, is the white community s responsible and they ve got to solve our problems. Oh help me. Stereotype much, Pat? This is what passes as elevated public television political debate in this country. The omnipresent Michelle Bernard tries to get this back on track and get the old guard to catch up on post-race politics: BERNARD: I want to go back to the point you made about whether or not Barack Obama is an Oreo, because if Barack Obama is an Oreo, then every member of this generation of African Americans is an Oreo, because we stand on the shoulders of the people who fought for our rights and all of us say that you cannot blame The Man or white racism for everything that ails the black community. Pam s House Blend looks at that nugget of truth UPDATE: Media Matters is circulating a petition to ask John McLaughlin to apologize on air. Transcripts below the fold: MCLAUGHLIN: Does it frost Jackson-Jesse Jackson-that someone like Obama, who fits the stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo -black on the outside, while white on the inside-that an Oreo should be the beneficiary of the long civil rights struggle which Jesse Jackson spent his lifetime fight for? Peter Beinart? BEINART: Who knows what Jesse Jackson is thinking. But that is a completely unfair depiction of Barack Obama, who the genius of Barack Obama is that he moves seamlessly between the African American world and the white world in a way that even Bill Clinton couldn t possibly match. And the tragedy of this experience is you know who s spoken eloquently for many, many years about personal responsibility in the black community? Jesse Jackson. He of all people should recognize in fact that what Barack Obama is saying is not contrary to the message of the civil rights movement, it is in keeping with that message. MCLAUGHLIN: Let s nail this down a little bit more, for the sake of Jackson. The question is this: Jackson s point of contention is this, this is the exit question. The point of contention is that instead of Obama solely lecturing African Americans on parental duty, particularly fathers, he should have also given equal attention to the large and many believe prejudicial incarceration rate for blacks, their lack of economic opportunity and other public policy issues that limit choices for black males. Why doesn t Obama hit that as hard as he hits individual parental responsibility? That s what Jackson s complaining about. BEINART: But Barack Obama doesn t talk about jobs and healthcare? He talks about it all the time. If he wanted to talk about the fact that there are too many people in prison, then you re asking him to do something that will lose him the election. That is politically no serious political strategist MCLAUGHLIN: Oh oh oh [crosstalk] BEINART: He is a man trying to win the presidency, John. MCLAUGHLIN: But then he s exactly what Jeremiah Wright says he is. He will do whatever s necessary to win. BEINART: He s a practical politician. CLIFT: This is a generational shift. Jesse Jackson, Jr. put out a statement basically saying Dad, time to leave the stage. There is a disconnect in terms of style and tactics from the older civil rights generation to the generation that Obama is from and that he s trying to attract. MCLAUGHLIN: Does Jackson have a legitimate point? BUCHANAN: No, he doesn t. I ll tell you why, John. Here s why. What Barack Obama is saying is the message that needs to be heard. It s the Bill Cosby message. It is Look, this is our responsibility. These are our families. White society is not responsible for our kids dropping out of schools or using drugs or going on welfare. We are. What Jesse Jackson says, is the white community s responsible and they ve got to solve our problems. MCLAUGHLIN: Isn t this the oddity of the century, where a Barack Obama is a conservative and Jesse Jackson is the liberal? Isn t that an oddity? [laughter] BUCHANAN: Well, Jesse Jackson used to talk this way BERNARD: It is an oddity, but I want to go back to the point you made about whether or not Barack Obama is an Oreo, because if Barack Obama is an Oreo, then every member of this generation of African Americans is an Oreo, because we stand on the shoulders of the people who fought for our rights and all of us say that you cannot blame The Man or white racism for everything that ails the black community. MCLAUGHLIN: What about changing public policy where it needs to be changed? BERNARD: Well, you change public policy, but, but . [crosstalk] BERNARD: If I could finish my point, when Jesse Jackson came out and said when he gave his quote unquote apology the next day was Barack Obama should be demanding more government programs for African Americans and that s wrong. CLIFT: As Jack White, a former Time Magazine writer, says that it s disorienting for the black community when The Man might be the guy in the Oval Office and so everybody s making some adjustments here, but Barack Obama is handling his role beautifully and that is to relate to America as a broad population.
