It started with Sharpton's pride being wounded because of Jesse Jackson Jr's endorsement of Dean. Sharpton not only suggested that the upstanding and widely respected Jackson was a "tom" but he made it his business to attack Dean out of resent. Cause and effect--the timing was undeniable.
The other candidates dug up something they could twist to use for ammo and they all piled on. They would rather divide the party than have Dean win the Afro-American vote, because once Dean starts to line up the black leaders---Sharpton, Edwards, Kerry are finished.
