I found this gem of a Letter To Editor in the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Now it seems the racial divide is deepening, and it is not coming from the so-called GOP Attack Machine, as Karen Porter so described it in her LTE on June 25.

Jackson uses the "N-Word"

CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reports that, although Jackson did not directly address the slur he used in a conversation he believed was private, he apologized Wednesday "...for the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words."

The words, leaked to and posted Wednesday on the TVNewser blog, were from the same hot-mic conversation in a Fox News Channel studio that got him into hot water last week.

While waiting for an interview on the "Fox & Friends" news show earlier this month, Jackson said "see Barack been um, talkin' down to black people, on this faith based ... I want to cut his n--s out."

Those comments first aired on Bill O'Reilly's program on Fox News, but the network decided not to air another portion of the same conversation, when Jackson used a more controversial n-word, completing the sentence: "Barack...he's talking down to black people ... telling n-----s how to behave."

Let us call out the race-baiters for whom they are, instead of deflecting the debate with politically expedient bogeymen during an election cycle.
