The Reverend Al Sharpton emphasized his support of slavery reperations and said he would ask the other Democratic Presidential hopefuls for their position on the matter, ABCNEWS.com reports.

Sharpton did not deny that he would use whatever delegates he wins in the primaries to force the Democratic National Committee into granting him a primetime speaking slot during the party convention.

Sharptons candidacy worries some Democrats who fear that his rabble rousing politics could distract other candidates who are trying to court black voters.

Who wudda thunk that Al would be asking leading Dems the questions the media won't?

He should also ask how many of them had been Klan members, or had been mentored by a Klan member, or had ever praised someone who has been a Klan member.

I guess Reverend Al has now replaced Wellstone in the media as the 'last honest Democrat'

Sharpton has become the official "Anti-Hillary" for President for years to come.

I think Al's fishing for early retirement......And probably one way or the other... he will get it.

I don't know about "Wellstone" but that is my take on Sharpton. You and I know the media will try and bury this guy in a move directly opposite of any David Duke GOP candicy which garnered more coverage than his 29 votes merited.

The beautiful part of this is that, when he realizes (if he doesn't already) that he has no chance, he will be the kind of guy who continues on because "The Party needs some one to speak out for the unheard" or some such nonsense. It's wonderful. They will not be able to get him to go away IMHO.

When Al puts their feet to the fire, watch 'em all turn on each other...

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I don't think I'd like to be a passenger on any airplanes in which the Rev. might be flying.

But Al has free Nation of Islam security to counter the Clinton Mafia!

Ya think those boys would look out of place in Harlem on 125th street?

Thank goodness someone has the guts to do what national Republicans and the media evidently do not.
