Pure RACISM!!

Rise up and demand your rights!!

lol

[alnick]

I'm surprised that charge hasn't surfaced yet.

Imagine a president who can't even get his staff to follow the directions correctly on a simple application form.

[freebilly]

No, folks, you can't make this stuff up....

[GeronL]

Or to pay the tab at a Deli.. that one was Dean wasn't it?

"We are trying to see if we have legal recourse, or at least have write-in ballots," Brown said. "We are very upset about it - not with Fox McKeithen - the process. We're just disappointed."

The person they should be upset with is the campaign staffer who was responsible for making sure all the i's were dotted and the t's crossed -- plus whoever it was who decided to wait until the last day to file. No sympathy here.

[dc-zoo]

Sharp-Toung didn't work for him this time. I wouldn't take his check either.

[flashbunny]

That was dean - but sharpton has been skipping out on other debts, according to rush.

[alnick]

Or to pay the tab at a Deli.. that one was Dean wasn't it?

Yeah. I heard that Dean finally made good on that and the idiot deli owner has now named a sandwich after Howard Dean.

[gatorbait]

We already have plenty of crooked Dems here;Sharpton would not have even been noticed

[cajun-jack]

we have had so many Rats in Baton Rouge for years and years that I don't blame them for not taking a personal check.

I got a DOT violation in my 18 wheeler in October and I had to send a money order. They wouldn't take my check either and they know where to find me.

Truth be known, good ole bro Al has spent most of his money on lavish hotels and such and the check was probably hotter than the southside of hell and was trying to pull a fast one. Not that I would ever dream of making a disparaging remark about such a fine "man of the cloth".

For some reason, when I look at Sharpton, he reminds me of Yakee Doodle, the Hanna Barbera little duck. Of course, there already is a duck in the race, Howard the Duck.

[Kirkwood]

We have more democrats down here than you can shake a stick at. Al won't be missed.

[Terridan]

What I don't get is why he is even on the ballot? He hasn't even placed as a serious contender in any other primary... could it be his "legal" way of collecting contributions for his coffers???

[Kirkwood]

What? You don't consider him to be a serious candidate? I'm shocked. Hehehe! I dunno, I guess being a reverend doesn't bring in the bucks like it used to.

[G.Mason]

"Sharpton, the New York civil rights activist, will be the only major Democratic presidential candidate not on the ballot in the March 9 election, according to McKeithen."

Is there another Sharpton running for president?

Because if not, this entire sentence is a complete fabrication.

“We are trying to see if we have legal recourse, or at least have write-in ballots,” Brown said. “We are very upset about it — not with Fox McKeithen — the process.”

What?! Oh, I forgot. This guy is a DemocRAT so he can do whatever he wants, and try to change the rules he doesn't like to suit his whims.

Note 1 to Al Sharpton: Al, if you cannot put together an organization that can file properly, you will be unable to put together an administration to govern the country.

Note 2 to Al Sharpton: Blame the problem on the confusing in this country on the difference between the Federal Reserve Board and the International Monetary Fund.

Note 3 to Al Sharpton: You can babble on about how racist it is to not accept a personal check from an African-American man, why Dr. Martin Luther King isn't on the three-dollar bill, and how Louisiana redlined you because of color -- the color of your money.

"Not that I would ever dream of making a disparaging remark about such a fine "man of the cloth"."

I will. Two nights ago, I turned on the TV as I was getting ready for bed. There's the "man of the cloth", as you call him, saying on Showtime, that this ugly German Pornstar is a personal friend of his.

Reminds me of King and his rampades with hookers.

Then these sick buggers demand our respect. Sorry, not from me, Al

Teddy is famous for stiffing caterers. His staff calls them, flatters them with malarky about how highly recommended they are, gets the food without paying and stiffs them when they get the invoice. You really need to have the Boston Globe running interference for you to get away this stuff.

"Or to pay the tab at a Deli.. that one was Dean wasn't it?"

Isn't the rumor about Kerry that he's cheap unless it's someone elses' money?
