They invite a guy from StormFront, they've killed fewer people than Al Sharpton (2).

WTG Columbian Conservatives!!! Hope we'll get a report on the action!

I guess they should have the speakers they want. I think they made a good point here: Sharpton is nothing more than a black David Duke. The thing that gets me here is that David Duke was knocked down by whites and the general population. I don't understand why so many blacks follow this man. Few speak out against him (or Jessie Jackson). I hope this doesn't mean that they really see things the same way he does. Thank God for people like the Rev. Jessie Lee Peterson...

drop dead, al!

Unfortunately, they do. As I'm against repression, I think the thing to do is to have two groups. One group, inside, sitting in the center of the auditorium or sprinkled throughout, would rise, at the beginning of Sharpton's speech, turn, and march out. The second group, outside, would wave placards with sayings like, "Rev. Race Hoax," "Tawana Lied," "Rev. Lynch Mob," "Remember the Dead of Freddie's," and "Racist Interloper!" They could also shout, "No justice, no peace!"

ALRIGHT!!! Sharpton is one more jerk that PC overlords hold up and force upon our black population. Jesse Jackson, extortionist extraordinaire and extraordinary thug, and ol Al Sharpton are sick men who walk to the beat of fame of money. The PC overlords have MUCH INVESTED in keeping the plantation slaves in line, dumbed down, desparately fooled and feeling like major victems, with broken spirits, so that they can offer up their false promises and garner votes. Jesse and Al are their tools.

[headsonpikes]

C'mon! Al's a freakin' statesman compared to say...Hillary.;^)

[rmlew]

I have invited Alan Keyes. However, Mr. Keyes was not invited for this event. The CPU, of which I'm a dissenting member, wanted a "mainstream" speaker.

Seriously, if you are in the NYC area, please drop by. We need the numbers and signs.

Italians off?

Close your tags.

One more time.

"...Al Sharpton is a significant force in the New York political world..."

My response to this is: Why?

At most, the maunderings of this guy is worth 2 column inches of ink in Section Z every 5 years. FReegards,

The problem here is that white people in general have been brainwashed and are very gullible. The press has played such a part in this and are responsible so to speak for whites of today thinking they owe the black community so much. For every black that has been persecuted 3 whites have had as much if not more done to them.Your powerful black leaders are no different than your powerful white leaders.Until the day comes when the average black,white and Hispanic comes to realize the truth this will never end.Folks plain and simple this is a class issue and has always been that,but we let the rich and powerful divide the masses and as long as the rich black,white or hispanic keeps giving a few bucks to certain ones to keep us under control this will keep on going in the same direction.Your education system is in shambles because the rich(regardless of race) want you to stay ignorant to the political system and what is going on in this country.Divide and conquer.The issue is class not race.

Spoken like a true Communist.

[Our man in washington]

Bump for the Columbia conservatives!

Earlier this year, Sharpton spoke at my workplace. I work at a Federal agency, and Sharpton was invited by the union to give a lunchtime talk. I organized a small protest. A few people thanked me for what I was doing. I had a few people scream at me, a few people who crumpled up my leaflets, but I didn't have a single person who contradicted me on the facts.

What is your definition of "rich?" According to Al Gore, of course, a family earning 70 K a year is "rich?" You can go to Cuba and North Korea if you hate the "rich" so much and bask in economic equality.>

[Marysecretary]

The don't invite Alan Keyes because he's a Christian, has common sense, and is a decent and law abiding citizen, and he's NOT a demoncrap who is trying to keep the black race down under their fat thumb. JC Watts is anothe responsible young black they probably will never invite because of the same reasons. Colleges, like the one I work in, love these PC freaks. He came here to speak, was three hours late, and they loved him! I feel sorry for these disillusioned kids. I really do. It was a packed house.

Oooh, great idea, mrustow. Pointed and eloquent, with marked contrast to the standard leftist tactic of having beared, self absorbed and self righteous liberals attempt to shout down the speaker (or throw fruit).

[Bigg Red]

Bump!
