Rev. Jesse Jackson made additional disparaging remarks during the infamous break in an interview on Fox News, in which he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday.

The previously unreported comment was disclosed by the TVNewser blog.
"Barack ... he's talking down to black people ... telling [black people] how to behave." Only Jackson used the plural form of the "n-word," not "black people," in the second part of his comment.
The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show.
Jackson, who is traveling in Spain, apologized in a statement Wednesday for "hurtful words" but did not offer specifics.
"I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public," Jackson said in a written statement.
"There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people."
