Bill O'Reilly was all over this. What a broad smile he had during his show tonight. Why?

A Fox News microphone picked up comments Jackson meant to deliver privately. These comments were pretty, well ... you decide.

I am old enough to remember Jesse Jacksons rainbow coalition and his self admission for being a racist too. He is no better than anyone else, but he isnt a hypocrite. Neither is Al Sharpton, they both make value judgements based on the color of someones skin and it just goes to show you that nobody is above the age old problem with hypocracy.
I would rather have a bigot or a racist hoenstly tell me how they feel rather than hiding it behind a national movement that alleges positive changes for anyone regardless of colour, race or creed.
