I know that this may be imprudent and could expose myself to 'flames' of reproach (that certainly would be the case in many another forum), but I am going to say it anyway.
1. Yes, I did see the interview the first time it was broadcast, and again on a rerun.
2. No, I didn't like what was said in specific comments referred to. In fact I was upset by them at the time.
This being said, I must say that I have enormous respect for Joaquin Jackson. I have read his book and have had the honor to meet him very briefly and hear him speak. I believe him to be an honorable man.
I would believe what he says in a statement where he has time to choose his words carefully above an off the cuff remark on a TV interview which has been edited, for time if not for content.
Who among us has not misspoken in a public setting or even privately to a spouse and regretted the choice of words, or the impression left which might have been at odds with one's true sentiment? I know that I have had to 'clarify' to my wife more than once in our 27 years of being married. The clarifications were to more accurately explain my true meaning and to apologize for having expressed myself poorly. Heck, even my wife has done it.
In regard to my opinion of his status as an honorable man, I believe that he would not have 'clarified' falsly. I will choose to believe the written statement and appreciate the posting of it as I had not seen it. I was relieved to read it.
Any, or all, of you may disagree with me. I can understand and respect your opinion. Your exercise of the First Ammendment is part of what is protected by the Second Ammendment.
