Chris Matthews just cut in to BASH SHARPTON. He said Sharptons career began with a lie.LOL

[lainie]

"OUR VOTE IS NOT FOR SALE!"

Now he's moved onto his own glory. Good grief.

[Mo1]

Is it me, or is Al ad-libbing now?

Sounds like it and they won't be able to get him off the stage untill he wants to go

[StriperSniper]

One thing lacking that I have noticed: no demonstrations.

Yup, come GOPCOM in a few weeks, there will be wall to wall coverage of every guy with a big red "A" on a black T-shirt. On any given day in NYC, that is probably about 3% of 8 million. ;-)

[NeoCaveman]

I see that PMSNBC is not covering Al Sharptounge

[mylife]

Wh000 h000! carried it on CNN!

[missyme]

I'm watching O'Reilly and Sharpton is in the background screaming Bloody Murder! his voice is a Screaming Fat
Whale Sound...No he is louder than a Whale!

[Petronski]

I saw it too. But who's watching? Who's going to take him to task for the lies?

[Choose Ye This Day]

I cannot believe the fanaticism over this guy.

[McGruff]

Al, MSNBC isn't covering you anymore. They are bashing you.

[mikemc282002]

Here it comes..........

[K1avg]

Good catch! This is awesome! All your vote are belong to us!

[hole_n_one]

Chris Matthews just broke into Sharpton's garbage:

Sharpton began his political career based on a lie (Tawana Brawley)

Fineman and Goodwin trashing the speech.

[finnman69]

MSNBC all specualkting hes adlibbing like crazy. MSNBC called the sppech like chalk screeching on a chalkboard. Fineman says giving Shaprton this much time is an insult to African American voters.

[AmericanMade1776]

There are lots of Republicans buried at Gettysburg, who died to end slavery.

[LisaFab]

He's already used up the next two speakers' times. They're going to have to cut something for Edwards to make the 11:00 news.

Go Al Go!

[kcar]

Freedom was a Republican thing - the Rats fought it every step. Still is. IMho, Reps shouldn't lift a finger to court any group, or pretend leaders of a "group". Individual freedom should sell itself.

Here's hoping the Republican Convention won't be a pandering episode.

[OXENinFLA]

She's biting her lip.........she looks like she's going to jump down from the balcony.

[mylife]

excellent

[AZamericonnie]

I often wondered what Al's agenda was in running for office knowing he had not a chance. Was it simply to get him to this speech!
