Just a reminder...

In case you forgot, here's a reminder of the hypocrisy in Jesse Jackson's recent attack on Obama:

But it was Jackson himself who was out front in the movement for a voluntary ban on the N-word that took flight nearly two years ago after a racial rant by comedian Michael Richards.

Richards, who played the wacky neighbor on the popular Seinfeld show, was captured on a video cell phone using the N-word after two African Americans heckled him during his comedy routine.

After that incident, Jackson said, "We will challenge and urge all artists and comics to stop using this word. … What other group is subjected to such a degrading terminology?"

Al Sharpton is soft-condemning the incident, wrapping it in praise of Jackson with "I think this certainly does not reflect the Reverend Jackson that we all know and love."

Keep in mind that both Sharpton and Jackson ran for the presidency.

Says a lot about the sorry state of this country, eh?

Yeah, sure.

The Jewish people out there have never faced hard times or slurs have they?

It's all about Jesse.
