Sharpton on CNN...why is it that Al seems to be the only one who can

handle the media and put the message exactly on where it belongs?
We were mid-led into a war and loss of lives that didn't have to be.

1. LOL! They made Gephardt wait for Sharpton

Rev. Al nailed it.

10. Did you heard Gephardt

link the capture to Sept. 11? We have enough problems with the GOP doing that. Why are our own people doing that as well?

14. Thought I was the only one

who noticed that. I just lost all respect for him. Guess he's getting ready to put that pink tutu on again and pirouette around the White House. Sigh.

4. Yup that from a man who staged a police assault

Maybe he can spread some feces on Saddam and say that the troops abused him?

Can't we have more reasonable black leaders? Where's that young black Democrat from Maryland (Ford is it?).

5. Ford's a house rep from Tennessee. He's working with the Kerry campaign.

6. That's right! Tennesee! Thanks!

He's great! Totally level headed, loves the country...supported the war until the WMDs didn't materialize and he spoke out fairly against it.

He's not one to play the race-card. But works to improve conditions in the black communitee through education and training...not through racial extortion.

I hope he gets more recognition on networks besides FarceNews.

7. There's as much of a spectrum of leadership styles within the black...

...community as there are in any other community.

"That young Black Democrat" "reasonable Black leaders" (Progressives capitalize Black because we consider that all men are created equal).

I look forward to reading your future posts during your short stay.

You seem so far away from home...

12. It is a long way from home

:scared:

I happen to thank you for thinking that a capital B makes me your equal.

I don't know why I would get banned for raising a different point. I'm not pushing President Bonzo, I'm not being rude to you and I'm not swearing.

But yes, this is a long way from home...feels like North Korea on this thread. I think I'll hit another thread.

:(

Unless you guys want me to stay...No?

Well, see ya on another thread...bye.

9. perhaps some of us appreciate Al Sharpton

your criticisms aside.

Maybe we should do a lottery, huh?

Assign a number to a black leader from an approved list, and have you pick the winning number out of a hat.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

11. Just like a Freeper ...when you can't argue the point, change it.

I love it!

13. Although I think that Rev Al used to come across

as quite the opportunist, he does say things (as Jesse Jackson used to and still does) that really need to be said. Many of the other candidates were falling all over themselves this morning to pat * on the back. There was even a very informative article about Rev Sharpton in our local paper today.

15. That's exactly the evolution I went thru tigereye.

All I care about now is that his voice is needed in this country,
regardless of Ted Koppel's attempts to program us otherwise.
