Rev. Al Sharpton Plays to Tough Crowd at Va. School ['Crazy Al' Visits Robert E. Lee's Tomb]

The Reverend Al Sharpton could barely contain a smile Thursday when he visited the tomb of Robert E. Lee

'I want people to see that if I will go to Robert E. Lee's tomb, I will go anywhere!!' [to become the 2004 Democratic Nominee for President of the United States]

He then added: 'I wonder how this will play in Harlem?'

Reverend Sharpton paid his respects at the end of another improbable campaign day appearance at Washington and Lee University.

Neither Sharpton nor student leaders expected a meeting of the minds. It was more like a marriage of convenience.

Washington and Lee students were looking for a 2004 Democratic Presidential candidate to visit in preparation for a mock convention(!) scheduled next winter. Just about everyone turned them down.Then they turned to a student who said his father had contacted the Al Sharpton campaign.

"have a number of blacks that Lee must have killed?"

I'm not sure of your motive, but Lee didn't kill any blacks.

Don't know that Lee didn't kill any blacks. Be that as it may, my point was that Charlatan Al was playing to the blacks and media about visiting. Al is big on numbers, oppression of blacks and folksy adages that I was wondering if he would magically produce numbers of fallen blacks by Lee. Then Charlatan Al would be in the role of God forgiving a sinner.
