Personally, I think it probably WAS an electrical fire. But that won't prevent Sharpton from using it.

He's a nut and a racist jerk. However, you have to give him credit for one thing: he asked the press to stop bringing up his participation in the Tawana Brawley hoax (not to mention the fire-bombing of Freddy's Clothing in Harlem) because they never brought up Teddy Kennedy's Chapaquidick problem or Billy Boy's intern problems. He's right on that one.

Overall, I suspect the Dems, who have been cultivating the racist black vote, have the most to fear from him.

This fire, therefore, if not accidental, strikes at the heart of our nation. The very idea, enshrined in the Constitution, that every citizen has the right to speak, to run for president without fear of violence, is called into question. If one man’s right to speak is in danger, so are the rights of all.

I wonder if he means every citizen, or just some. Over the past 30 years, it has been clear that there can not be any dialog in public that the left does not want.

There is a long list of people who have had their lifes ruined for making innocent remarks.

If this was arson, a possible "double motive" presents itself:

1. The need to raise money by a bit of "electrical re-modelling";
2. The need to tap into the wellsprings of victimology that are Sharpton's only stock in trade.

If this was arson, someone in Sharpton's inner circle would appear a likely suspect ; but would not disclose his/her participation to the Rev : thus insuring the Rev could deny all fore-knowledge in a credible manner.

Yes, run Al run!

I think that we conservatives can repay the favor dems did w/ McLame back in "00. In states w/ open primaries we can raise the good rev. to a commanding position ensuring him a seat at the convention. A beautiful thing.

Perhaps enbolding him to run for senate- from which state?

Why, NY of course.

One has to wonder if a fellow Harlem office renter might have had something to do with the fire? Gosh, what's his name, anyway? The guy has a big red nose and a nasty wife he doesn't live with anymore. He is known for his $1000 dollar suits and his coterie of young interns.

Al Sharpton is divine retribution for the DNC. And I, as a Republican, am not the least bit worried about taking on the likes of Sharpton. We don't keep blacks on the plantation and milk them for votes, while mouthing BS platitudes of diversity, affirmative action, reparations, while feeding them my tax dollars in direct minority vote buying. I can tell him exactly what I think about his whole gimme-gimme NAACP philosophy - and look him straight in the eye while saying it. Without a 'RatPass, which the 'Rats HAVE to give him - and which I DON'T - he reverts right back to being the loud-mouthed, ignorant POS he's always been.

So, I don't have to kiss his fat rear end - but the 'Rats do. 'Rats are the true racist scumbags. They were the ones responsible for segregation - and they're the ones who cynically use them today - doing everything they can to make blacks dependent on big 'Rat government - riding on their backs into office.

No, we're not afraid of him. Bring it on. But not now. Because right now - he is the Angel of Death to some scumbags who've been asking for it for 40 years.
