Jesse's son was elected to the Senate, and is now sitting in a FED Pen! So I guess there are voters who who believe their snake oil pitches.
Jesse and Al have probably been on Fox News more often than any other Black activists.

Which would lend credence to the Fair and Balanced credo!

I can barely understand what Jesse Jackson is saying. He sounds like a babbling old fool. He should never get airtime. I'm sure CNN's ratings dropped as soon he started speaking.

Sharpton is an opportunist much like Jesse Jackson. Sadly the only way many of these crimes get any air time is if either one of them are involved otherwise they get shoved to the back of the fridge and forgotten.



They usually respond after it's big news.

He didn't even really address any of the points made. He is trying to justify the behavior but there were some legitimate points being made there.

Its like he almost has a cajun accent,but he speaks it backwards or something.

I am not a FOX fan in the least,but I have to give them props for one thing..when the Brown family press conference was going on,the very second Al Sharpton stepped up to the mic they cut away and didn't go back to it.

The race merchants and those with racial animus chips on their shoulders are trusted confidants of Obama.

Lets not forget that Obama was a "community organizer" (aka rabble rouser) just like his buddy Sharpton was.

Tawana Brawley rape allegations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone please explain to me why he isn't run out of town and shunned. Isn't there someone out there that would do a better job than him as a "leader"?? Isn't there someone out there who has more of the spirit of MLK? I just don't feel it when Sharpton speaks.

Also, how do you feel about Sharpton being elevated as "trusted White House adviser" to President Obama? Apparently HE listens to him.
I think it's a damn shame. Couldn't the president think a little outside the box? And Sharpton surely is in a very confined, stifling same old, same old box.

Al Sharpton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I can't stand him. He definitely stirs the pot and causes a lot of racial divide.
