Family Feud

(Fox News) - Illinois Democratic Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is contradicting his father's recent column in the Chicago Sun-Times — in which Jackson Sr. says the Democratic presidential candidates — except for John Edwards — "have virtually ignored the plight of African-Americans in this country."

Congressman Jackson writes — "While causing quite a stir, Reverend Jackson's comments unfortunately dimmed — rather than directed — light on the facts." Jackson Jr. writes that Barack Obama has been what he calls a "powerful, consistent and effective" advocate for African-Americans. And he compares Obama to Abraham Lincoln. Jackson Jr. is a national co-chairman of Obama's campaign.
