Why is nobody calling for Obama national co-chair Jesse Jackson Jr.'s removal?
Hillary fired Sheehan but Obama hasn't said a word about Jesse Jackson's abomination questioning Hillary's tears and why she didn't cry for Katrina victims.

1. I guess you just did.
Now your question is, "How come I'm the only one calling for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s removal?" Which, of course, is a totally different question.

2. Did he say something false? He did not believe Hillary's tears. Neither did I and neither did the
woman that asked the question. Are you going to fire all those of us who did not believe her and noticed that even if she was true, she was simply pitying herself.

26. Ding!!!! Ding!!!! Ding!!!!
This here is a winner!!!

It concerns me that if Obama does get the nomination and does win, and he carries out the same failed policies of the last seven years, people will fear criticizing him because they don't want to be called racist. I don't think people would worry about being called sexist if Hillary won and followed the same failed policies.

5. oh, you know the answer for that one.
On DU, Obama = always right and Hillary = always bad. One of the reasons I come here less and less for substantive, informative news. It's become more and more like a playground full of ADD kids fighting and screeching than a place for reasonable political discussion.

Jerry Springer Show with all the anger and hate talk.

6. Because there is a double standard in America today.
Clinton is vilified in the media and in our country. She must do everything Obama does, and more, and backwards and in highheels. But, do not question anything that Obama says or does, because that is racist.

Fairy tales abound.

9. Because America has come down to a "If it's not PC, it's not for me" type of mentality.
They won't call him out because it would appear racist to do so. Yep, that's how far we've come.

:woohoo:

10. He didn't question her tears so much -
he just said it was because she was having a bad hair day.

33. I was surprised I didn't hear more about this by the media. In fact, I only
heard about it on a Young Turks video.

It's smarmy and low - regardless of who's campaign it comes from.

The things BOTH these candidates allow their campaign to do makes me question their judgment. I really don't want to have anything to do with either of them at this point. They embarrass and shame me.

35. Because Jesse works for the anointed one!!!!
Race baiting by bringing up Katrina and the African American vote seem not to matter to the Obama fans. But God forbid that the Clintons say anything about the great one and they jump all over them forgetting the decades of support that they have both given to the African American community.

Pathetic!!!!!!!!
