I'm not supporting Al Sharpton .. BUT HE'S RIGHT ON THE MONEY ABOUT THE CLINTONS KILLING THE PARTY .. and all the while Hillary and Bill are out there saying how RICH they are .. which totally proves what Al said .. what was good for the Clintons was bad for the party .. they have killed it.

[Rummyfan]

"People are saying, 'Will Sharpton, the Progressive, kill the party?' The party's dead. I've come to help start the resurrection," he announced.

Say what you will about the Reverend Al, but he understands this.

Clinton killed the party. So is Rev Al the one who shot the deputy?

Hey Doug - here's the DFU song for the day......

[Lazamataz]

Carl, he's right. And if the current Clinton strategy of destroying Dean so Clarke can run the Clarke/Clinton 2004 ticket succeeds, the Democrats will cease to exist as a party outright.

[optimistically_conservative]

Hmmmm...If Clinton killed the Dems by forcing liberals to defend his centrism, could Bush kill the Pubs by forcing conservatives to defend HIS centrism?

Nope. Two reasons. Conservatives are not as hypocritical as the Garafolo liberals, and it wasn't Clinton's centrism alone that killed the Dems, it was his damaging of America's trust (and not just the lying about sex thing).

Bush doesn't have that particular problem.

[blackie]

Gee ~ how can the rev say that ~ everyone that knows clintoon was our first black president. *sigh*

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

There was a prominent Democratic pollster who opined that the Democratic Party "had been taken over by a confederacy of gangsters".

Rev Al is just seeing the same results through a different lens.

Semper Fi,

The press believes it's own excuses, but choosing not to cover Sharpton's comments is still amazing. What reason could they have? Must be a humdinger.

Would the press cover Dole if he said the Republican party was dead? Bet on it. Two standards, one for liberals, one for conservatives. Truth can be scary...

Though Sharpton's comments are among the most politically explosive uttered during the presidential campaign so far - with the exception of radio host Rush Limbaugh, who played the Sharpton audio during his Friday broadcast - the reverend's outburst has gone unreported.

[Pharmboy]

He's prolly p*ssed 'cause x42 won't return his calls...

[hershey]

Al's right on the money about Clinton only getting in because of Perot.

[DallasMike]

Al's been looking a little depressed lately. He may be driving to Ft. Marcy Park even as I write.

[nmh]

I think Al might have something here ... though he's chosen to remain atleast a torch bearer. If Dean is the best Demoncrats can do ... they deserve to drift into oblivion.

[timydnuc]

Al, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over, and over again and expecting different results.

Please, all you RATS, keep going farther to the left, we need that 60 vote SUPER-majority in the senate and a 9 justice, conservative Supreme Court (not to mention blowing the 9th Circus apart).

The good thing here is that the RATS can't turn back. If they do the People will see through it like Victoria Secret underwear. Bill Clinton demonstrated a big campaign lie and the actions that followed and the People responded by electing conservatives to a majority in Congress. That was just the beginning. This is going to get sooooo good! They have finally dug the hole so deep that they can't get out.

[VRWC_minion]

The Democratic Party is dead, presidential candidate Rev. Al Sharpton said Thursday. And it's Bill Clinton's fault.

Al's a Freeper ? Who woulda thought ?

[WOSG]

That is my point - centrism killed this party," he insisted. "We didn't regain the Congress in 1998. . . In 2000 we lost it all. In 2002 we were demolished, we were demolished. We lost everything as a party."

That is hilarious... the Democrats are becoming the "stupid" party, just like the GOP was for so many years... Now, we get to be the smart, unprincipled, winning party for a change.. :-)

Now here is MY point: How is it that Mondale lost by a landslide and yet the Democrats stayed in power in Congress in 1984? Why didnt Reagan have coattails? If I'd guess anything I'd say it was the Democrat "moderates" ability to lie to constituents and get away with it - they cant do it anymore! That is a big reason for the Democrats current inability to figure out how to get back to a majority.

They were able to have their cake and eat their cake too for so long that they dont realize they cant win elections by selling a product the people dont want.

And you know why the Democrats cant get away with lies anymore? Because of the internet, Rush talk radio, FR, and a host of information channels that the liberals dont control.

The Truth is out There. And it hurts (the Democrats).

Ping!

Maybe it's time to resurrect an old Quote of the Year from the early 1990s, from one of Mike Lupica's "The Year in Sports" colums in the New York Daily News:

"If Al Sharpton became a boxing promoter, and Don King became a race-baiting 'civil rights activist,' would anything really change?"

[Mo1]

He's right

[capt. norm]

"Bill Clinton won, the party didn't," railed the radical reverend."

Is the writer trying for the alliteration of the month award or what. It sounds like something Tim Curry would say as the character he played in the movie "Oscar".

[swampfox98]

with the exception of radio host Rush Limbaugh, who played the Sharpton audio during his Friday broadcast - the reverend's outburst has gone unreported.

Leave it to Rush. He knows what we like and he gives it to us.
