al sharpton

Cohen apologizing for our nation's historical slave history, could this have anything to do with his hotly contested Congressional race that is ALL about HIS race?

What's next, a photo op with Al Sharpton?

We shall see:

Everyone's favorite narcissist and quadrennial candidate for complaining about not being paid the proper respect, Ralph Nader, has opined on Barack Obama's speaking style, and wants him to black it up:

Barack Obama is attempting to do something radical and dangerous for a Presidential candidate...Speak intelligently about religion:

"Even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools?" Obama said. "Would we go with James Dobson's or Al Sharpton's?" referring to the civil rights

Wolf: "Defensive back Adam 'Pacman' Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys. Here's a guy suspended all of 2007 following a shooting in a Vegas night club."

Imus: "Well, stuff happens. You're in a night club, for God's sake. What do you think's gonna happen in a night club? People are drinking and doing drugs, there are women there, and people have guns. So, there, go ahead."

Could all this talk of a supercharged black vote catapulting Barack Obama to victory eroding his support among white voters?

Just days after it was revealed that Senate candidate Al Franken hadn't paid all his taxes, we learn that Al Sharpton owes nearly $1.5 million in overdue taxes. Now who is it that keeps lecturing us on tax cuts for the rich, and how the rich aren't paying their fair share?

I just read a post from Brendan Loy ("Obama rejects, denounces & disowns Wright"-- via ACK at "Post Politics") that raises several issues.

Douglas Wilder, the first elected African American Governor, thinks that, while racism is certainly not as pervasive as it once was, it is still there and, if Barack Obama is to win the Presidency, he had better come into November with a big lead in the polls.
