Al Sharpton
playing the race card against Howard Dean-Al Al Al why go there when the true enemy is sitting on a helicopter heading down to Crawford Texas for a short little vacation.It's his agenda that has done much more damage to the lower-middle class where me and a whole lotta black folk find themselves in America under the Bush doctrine.I hate dems tearing each other apart.Stop it

1. Al's a good man
He's just pointing out the statistical facts. It's not that Dean's racist or anything, he is just really appealing to white men I think: probably like yourself :)

2. I sure as hell
don't think you thought the repugs did not know what dean said/or maybe didn't say and are not ready to load the ammuniton to fire on him if he should win the nomination. Better get it all out in the open now so it can be old news. If he is not tough enough to defend himself and tackle the issue with facts then he better rethink his goal. Dean/whomever will have to address that and much more so get ready this election will be much worse than a dog fight. Al knows he can't win at this time but he sure is going to work hard to help a Dem to win whether it be Dean or whomever and will personally be down in the trenches to help. I sure hope passionate activists like him are not driven out of this party because it is already teetering on the brink of self destruction.

3. Sorry. Dean's record is more racist than Bush's
Bush is so concerned with ending choice with his nominees, that he has put racism on the back burner. However, Dean's racism was more upfront in his opposition to funding the public defenders office so minorities wrongly accused of crimes could not adequately defend themselves and in Dean's oppostion to the technicalities that make fair trials fair. His statement on "Meet the Press" that the executions of the innocent are an acceptable risk was also racist in view of the disproportionate number of minorities on death row. A great many of these individuals are innocent. Basically, if you are poor and black, Dean feels you should be locked up and executed. I don't want this guy ever appointing federal justices and, as a Democrat, I can't vote for him.

6. Don't forget the "liberal weepy" comment at Howard U. when asked about
disproportionate numbers of blacks in prison in America.

7. What minorities?
There really aren't that many many minorities in VT. These defendants are mostly white. Why does every crime arguement have to come down to race?

9. That is a heinous lie
Edited on Wed Oct-29-03 05:20 PM by Mass_Liberal
Dean supports affirmative action and black people as much as anyone else. You have no evidence to back up that slander. By the way genius, I have never seen you post anything that had substance. Literally EVERY single things i've seen you write has been anti-dean.


edit for spelling
