WaPo, NYT op-eds blast top presidential contenders for rallying to Al Sharpton's defense
Fox News ^ | August 2,2019 | y David Montanaro

Mandel argued that Trump has long employed a tactic that he called the "un-endorsement," where his detractors reflexively defend whatever person or subject he goes after on Twitter. In the case of Sharpton, Mandel wrote that the end result of Trump's attack was "one of the more depressing news cycles of the year, as major Democratic presidential candidates praised Sharpton to the heavens."

"Unfortunately, “the enemy of my enemy is my infallible hero” is a terrible approach to politics," Mandel wrote, delivering a lengthy argument of why Sharpton is "unworthy of such praise" due to "his history of race-baiting and deadly anti-Semitic incitement."

"They’ve handed Trump an easy win and yoked themselves to a genuine bigot," he wrote.

"The problem for Democrats is that Al Sharpton actually is, as Mr. Trump put it on Twitter, 'a con man.' And not just a con man: Mr. Sharpton is an ambulance-chasing, anti-Semitic, anti-white race hustler."

Loury argued that Sharpton became a "political kingmaker" after supporting the candidacy of Barack Obama in 2008 and making 61 visits to the White House between 2009 and 2014.

"If Democrats cannot distinguish between Mr. Sharpton’s hucksterism and genuine moral leadership on race and justice in America, I assure you that many moderate voters in battleground states will have no trouble doing so," he concluded.

Seth Mandel sounds like a Jewish name, not sure about Loury. That’s the only reason I can see the Slimes and WaPo dissin’ “the rev”. Every ‘Rat candidate always has to go and kiss Al’s behind in order to establish his/her civil right bonafides. However, his antisemitism (to the point of causing innocent Jewish deaths) should have always been a red flag for those ‘rats seeking his blessing.

If Pres. Trump said that the bubonic plague was bad, you’d have half the Dem candidates calling him racist for criticizing it and the other half endorsing the plague.

Dems: “The bubonic plague plays an essential role in population control on our overcrowded planet! Trump is both wrong and racist to criticize it!”

Well done. It is especially apt, because so many democrats have bought into the discredited Malthusian concepts.
