You think Sharpton's charge came out of the blue? It followed on the heels of Jackson's announcement to endorse Dean. Obvious cause and effect - Sharpton lashed out in response. His ego was wounded and he is acting out.
That is not to say Sharpton doesn't have assets, but he should've continued his mission for the party's sake and directed the debate away from character assasination - as he adviced others to take the higher road. It only is going to come around to kick Sharpton and create greater divisiveness.
Charging Jesse Jackson Jr of being an "Uncle Tom" is as low as it goes and pretty much destroys Sharpton's credibility for anything.
