The Dems are hoping SJ Lee and Al Sharpton will steal each others votes giving the giving the prize to the dull white guy.....

[Conservababe]

Mosely-Brain had only one person to turn out for her first rally...and it was not due to inclimate weather.

Methinks they overestimated her. LOL

[Nachum]

What are the chances that Rev. Al would become a...ah..em- "Friend of Bill" (FOB) kind of casualty?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Sharpton bid a nightmare for Democrats

We Freepers knew this the moment that Sharpton announced his candidacy. Go, Sharp, go!! You're not being angry and militant enough. You need to hang out with Hillary a lot more, too.

[Cicero]

Seems to me I remember a time not so very long ago when all the pro-democrat media were slavering over Al Sharpton.

That was when Hillary used him to discredit Giuliani for police brutality and racism. The New York Times was full of praise for Sharpton's great dignity and wisdom.

In other words, the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world are welcome to help their betters prepare the feast, but they shouldn't expect to sit down at the table with Massa after it's cooked.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Ah its great to see the Dems devouring one of thier own.Bwhahahahahaaha! Actually I hope Al goes quite a ways if for nothing else to scare the bejeepers out of them.It's so fun to see them squirm.

[TennTuxedo]

The word "on the street" is that the DNC will not attack Sharpton, but rather will let loose the media to destroy Sharpton. The media rarely is used to "eat" one of their own. How will this play out the black voters?

[cavtrooper21]

Go BIG AL Go! (away - after sowing discord in the DNC)

[repub32]

LOLOLOLl I love this dems are really in the sh.tter. Wait till we win Gulf War then what will the dems do.

[Capitalism2003]

We need to get Republicans organized in open primary states...If Sharpton runs as an independent and we actually get on the ballot, it will mean the death of the democrats in those states.

[CyberAnt]

In fact, if the dems don't put this guy down before 2004, I predict they will have to deal with him again in 2008 - the reason is - if he gets a sizable showing in 2004, perhaps a lot more blacks (with money) will support him in 2008, thereby defeating the dems once again (namely: Hitlery), if she is not in jail by then.

This just shows the strength and diversity of our party that the Republicans clearly do not have," said Guillermo Meneses, the Democratic National Committee's chief spokesman.

Your "diversity" is but a black veneer, Mr. Meneses, as evidenced by this very situation that threatens to expose the facade. Sure, Let "Reverend" Al Sharpton be the front man for your stealth candidate. Feed him to the media dogs.

The always-so-pleasant-to-listen-to Terry McAuliffe is also excited about another potential fake candidate, the NATO wonk, because he thinks people are idiots and will see all the medals and vote for him out of patriotism without knowing his background during the Clinton years. Yeah, Terry The Annoying went to CPAC and visited the FreeRepublic.com booth and came up with a good idea: "Hmmm...the voters seem to like red, white and blue, military attire, medals..." (pssst, Terry! We're on to ya!)

[WorkingClassFilth]

The good Reverend Al is on a mission from God! You gotta' love a man that refuses to take a backseat on the Democratic bus. Hey, Al Baby, next time the DNC calls, tell 'em...

MOSLEY-BRAUN BE GOIN' DOWN!

[Revolting cat!]

That's why we're all re-registering as RATS and sayin' Go Sharpie GO! Bro, what a dream ticket, you unnestan what ahm sayin'? Sharpie/Tawana Brawley, or Sharpie/Rodney King or Sharpie/Toni Morrison! I can dream, can't I?!

[JoeSixPack1]

I may be way out of line here, but it sure looks like Sharpnose might have a link to Dubya in the way earsPeroit was linked to Bubba! :-)

But then again, every radical racist out there except ole' JJ is running. But when the press gets through chewing em all up and spitting them out, watch out for little round faced Bob Graham (from a Floriduh point of view, he's new national meat and they need a bone).

[Calvin Locke]

"A strong showing by Sharpton in even a few primaries ... could lead to nightmarish
complications for the eventual Democratic nominee,"...

What? Are they discounting that the Reverend Al has any chance of being the nominee?

Is the fix in already?

[GOPJ]

Democrats can't afford to take Sharpton down. They won't risk offending any part of the 90% of blacks who vote for them. No, the media they carry in their pockets will have to do the job for them. And the job will be done. Count on many exposes of Sharpton. Stories overlooked for 30 years will somehow be new. New and shocking. News.

Last week, lengthy articles in the New Republic and the American Prospect magazines delivered the strongest attacks yet on Mr. Sharpton, though they do not quote any Democratic official by name.

If there are candidates who are unhappy with his positions on things, they should say so," said Harold Ickes, the deputy chief of staff in the Clinton White House. "There was a lot of hand-wringing about Jesse Jackson in 1988, and he was very controversial in some of his remarks, but it is now generally agreed that he brought tremendous strength to the party," Mr. Ickes said. "It will be interesting to see how African-Americans vote in the primaries. They are no different than anyone else and do not want to throw their vote away. They will want to vote for a candidate who can win the nomination and the election," he said.

Jackson brought strength to the party in '88? Nah, when the Dems lost they vowed not to be "divisive" in the next election and, voila...The Stainmaster.

Nice of Clinton butt boy Ickles to bring this up. Sorta a preview for '08 and Her Heinous.

I was raised by white democrats and I know them to be biggots just like everybody else.
