Sharpton: Jackson made Obama prez By: Andy Barr July 7, 2009 03:21 PM EST
Speaking at Michael Jackson’s memorial service Tuesday, the Rev. Al Sharpton gave the entertainer credit for creating an environment in which Barack Obama could be elected president.
“It was Michael Jackson that brought blacks and whites and Asians and Latinos together. It was Michael Jackson that made us sing ‘we are the world,’” said Sharpton.
“It was that comfort level that kids from Japan and Ghana and France and Iowa and Pennsylvania got comfortable enough with each other so later it wasn't strange to us to watch Oprah on television,” the reverend continued. “Those young kids grew up from being teenage comfortable fans of Michael to being 40 years old and being comfortable to vote for a person of color to be the president of the United States of America.”
“Michael did that,” Sharpton said. “Michael made us love each other.”

Well, they both liked white boys, only Larry Sinclair was at least the age of consent.

The weird and wacky Jackson was doubtless part of the culture shift to mindlessness. But he couldn’t do it on his own.

Sharpton just had to bring race issues back at the funeral.

Sharpton may have something there...the idiots that voted for Obama must have thought they were voting for Michael Jackson.

There's something to this. Jackson was the first transcendent black celebrity. He paved the way for others of his ilk (Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, The Cosby Show...and Obama).

Lib tards are just nuts. They never stop surprising me with the stupid things they say or do.
Look at them fawning over a man who slept with boys, bleached himself, and had so many operations on that puss of his to make him self beautiful.
But then look at the freaks they elect. barnry franks, ted kennedy, frankin, nutty nancy, zer0 it goes on an on.

Good old Al Sharpton just likes to hear himself talk.

On another thread, I ventured that Michael Jackson may have been the only person who could’ve beat Barack Hussein Obama in the 2008 election.

I will cast my vote for the degeneration followed by the abdication of a once dominant people as the cause of this recent disastrous election.

Yeah, Jackson and Obozo have a lot in common. One is a black guy who wants and makes himself look white. The other is a half white guy that thinks he is all black.

" Sharpton just had to bring race issues back at the funeral. "
Isn't that with all the race baiters ?
The line I heard from Sharpton ( The used car salesman )
" there was nothing strange about Micheal, what was strange was all the stuff he had to deal with " ... i.e. ( in other words some black people's imagined ) white people's crap and imagined racism ) ...
