Way to troll.

Bring on the rich independent who can support the National Election Refrom Platform. We need Bloomberg to fix democracy and broaden citizen participation. It's one thing to be a cyber-politico, it is another to put feet-on-the-street to enact real change and to get your candidate elected. DraftMichael.com

What's "Fishy" here is the Editor that posted the story with an opinion concerning said story . "It's like a fisherman catching a fish and the fish climbing out of the net and telling the fisherman, 'Not today I have an appointment elsewhere !' It's just weird ! Anyway, I doubt Al Sharpton really has a problem with Obama . Sure Obama has better hair,He's better at overall public speaking, He has a real job, When he campaign's for money it's for his political endeavors & not his own pocket . ( to an extent)

I feel that Sharpton is an embarrasment for all African Americans. He walks around with this chip on his shoulder of what happened centuries and decades ago but, at the same time he is a Clinton buyout. He is being bought out by the Clintons to try to destroy Barack's chane of winning the Oval Office. I don't have any respect for Al what so ever I feel that he is to authentic and he makes his living on keeping up disturbance. People don't take Al as serious person. Even when he was running for President in 2004 the had his face on the contender's list as a cartoon character.

Then this is how you know this brother can't stand by a word that he says. Didn't he say he was going to wear a natural after Brown died. That Jackass is still supporting perms. And he is Pro- black. No this idiot is Pro-Joke and jealous.

Only a fool will fall into this trap.

Funny.

I never mentioned anything about Dubya. Hell, I'm not even Republican.

But it's a good thing those that are politically polarized have a great sense of humor when it comes to their current figurehead of choice. Or something.

Eryximachus,

You're not a real person. Please shut up so people with a brain can discuss adult issues.

K,

Only lower class African Americans think like Eryximachus. So NEVER feel the need to pity your African American cousins for we are the most powerful Blacks on the planet. GO OBAMA!

Yikes, John Edwards is considered "very liberal?" Based on what? A Coulter column?

Interesting notes about Sharpton... at least there are a couple of candidates that people can get excited about. I hope he doesn't try too hard to "tear down" anyone's candidacy.

Amen, Jesus!

"Bush won't be on the ballot in 2008"

Thank God, right?

Nice try with your spin Anonymass. Obama did coke. that's all the poster said and it is true. You are your ilk need to stop living in the past. Bush won't be on the ballot in 2008 and whining about the past is a sure path to defeat. We don't need whiners like you spewing your democratic party talking points, most of which are wrong.

Whiteguilt,

You are right. I apologize. Obama is Christian, not Catholic.

All the best,

:) Jesus

The Edge,

If you'd like to educate yourself on the cadidates (you should do that by the way - this is a democracy) you can visit their websites and read about their positions and what they have "actually done."

The Edge, take your "history of George W. Bush's life" comment to the appropriate thread. Thanks.

Oh. Don't forget to add "wasted international goodwill after 9/11; screwed up the deficit for generations to come; enabled the continued plundering of the environment by his 'buddies'; and within mere decades of the Vietnam imbroglio plunged this country into another 'war' it can never win."

re: Jesus

He is not, in fact, a Catholic. While he is a Christian, he has described himself as in "the black church tradition where the line between evangelican and non-evangelical is completely blurred." (from the Chicago Sun-Times, as quoted in the "Real Clear Politics" blog at time-blog.com on January 19, 2007).

Wait, so what has he actually done.. ?

Besides coke and weed, that is.

1. Obama's father was a Kenyan Muslim. He went through a period where he did not have any religious affiliation and is now part of some Protestant denomination...no not one of those weird crazy ones either.

2. Obama is no less black than any African American or West Indian. To the average person walking down the street he's just "black" and that's all that matters. I'll be damned if any of my neighbors could identify me as Ugandan, and not African American.

3. Al Sharpton has horrible hair.

4. To dismiss all Ivy League presidents as useless is a moronic statement made by somebody who doesn't understand the value of education. Never mind the prestige, most of the people who go to those schools are looking to learn from the best and take that knowledge and apply it elsewhere.

5. As an East African I stand behind Obama's decision to run.

6. I feel pity for our Africa-American cousins who continue to buy into the bizarre and twisted ideas of race dumped upon them. Comments like "He is a half black man picked out of the crowd at Harvard by whatever secret society chooses presidents simply because he is articulate and good looking", are just ignorant and stupid. Not every one in Africa is coal black as night. There are innumerable of shades of variation.

In Juan William’s book “Enough” he is both despairing and angry over today’s youth squandering the hard fought legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. .

However, Mr. William’s book does have an interesting note about Sharpton. This so-called activist and Pretend-President of Black America is shown to be even more of a cardboard figure then generally suspected. Most of his “spontaneous” demonstrations are actually stage-managed affairs. He recruits people from homeless shelters, gives them lunch and 50 bucks to march and carry placards for the day. This feat of legerdemain is carried on nation wide. Anywhere he goes, so follows his “Cut-Rate Mercenary Army” Sharpton is nothing, a person with no or dubious credentials, trying to play on the national Stage. Senator Obama has nothing to be concerned with as he is the only “game in town.”

"The vast majority of blacks in NYC had never even heard of Obama until this year."

The vast majority of blacks in NYC are not aware of much, really, other than the latest 50 Cent, Beyonce and Jay Z gossip, what are the coolest spinner rims to put on a piece of shit SUV, and that there is now an Applebee's on 42nd street where you can go to dinner with your babymomma after going to the movies.
