 THE WORST MAN IN AMERICAN POLITICS


Slate thinks that fronting for Tawana Brawley's false accusation of rape was "the worst thing you'll ever hear about Al Sharpton." [*]

I understand that Seattle is a long way from New York, but haven't William Saletan, Ben Jacobs, and Avi Zenilman ever heard of Crown Heights? Sharpton's anti-Semitic rhetoric helped incite a race riot -- or perhaps it would be more accurate to say "pogrom" -- in which Yankel Rosenbaum was killed. And since that foul murder he has done what he can to defend the murderer.

Or how about the Freddy's fire, preceded by more of Sharpton's speechifying about "white interlopers" and "diamond merchants," in which eight people died? [*]

Sharpton is easily the most despicable major figure in either of the two major parties, and yes I do include Trent Lott and Tom DeLay. The fact that no Democrat can run for President without appearing in the same room as Sharpton is the only good reason I can think of for voting Republican. It's not a good enough reason, but it's not chopped liver either.

I have followed the self proclaimed "Reverend" Al Sharpton since the late 80's. He aligns himself with other black leaders like Reverend Martin Luther King. I find it appalling that he was an unknown in the 60's and 70's and now uses it as his basis for power. He is one of the most anti semitic and racist men I have witnessed in recent history. He was very quick to stand behind Tawana Brawley but fade into obscuity when it came time to apologise to the officers that were accussed of the crime. Unfortunately, this is is MO, he puts his face in the picture until the truth comes out, then he is absent. It would do all Democrats well to avoid public appearences with him.

You have a very informative website with a creative attitude. Your opinions and ideas have a unique perspective. I enjoy your website. I like to play bingo at Play Cash Bingo Online as it has none of those annoying pop ups that always get in the way when I am doing things like playing bingo. They have a generous signup bonus and very friendly people who like to chat about bingo and life in general. There is a building jackpot that is growing and growing all the time. It is a very relaxing atmosphere. I find it easy to make new friends here at Play Cash Bingo Online.
