Witness last weekend's big Labour rally in Iowa featuring seven major Democratic candidates.
New York Reverend Al Sharpton was tops in several catagories. He had the best fiery crowd pleasing lines.
He was the leader in crowd applause and ovations.
And Rev. Sharpton along with Representative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio scored the highest ratings from a focus group of Labour attendees.
The Democratic Labour activists loved him the most.

Do you remember a guy named PEROT? He sucked enough votes away from Bush to allow a scumbag like x42 to get elected, and then showed up in 1996 to hurt the Republicans again. If we want to keep President Bush in power (which I most certainly want to do), we want to see a Dem candidate that even the Dems cannot support past the primary.

Did anybody else notice that "labor" is spelled in the British manner? If this is from MSNBC or Newsweek, it ain't from the American version, IMO.

Editors Note: Rev. Peterson is one of the few African American leaders with the guts to stand up to Jesse Jackson. He is currently involved in a lawsuit against Jackson. Click here to find out how you can help Rev. Peterson.
Dear Friend,
This just in: the black leadership has spoken and war is not the answer.
Though some 70% of Americans supported the war against Iraq, you didnt find a corresponding pro-American outcry from the black community. And its no wonder. The reason that most blacks didnt support the war is that most of their leaders were against it.
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus, and a cornucopia of embittered black church leaders and a slew of civil rights degenerates came out vocally and vengefully against the war.
Let us run down the latest from this group of bedraggled misfits that masquerade as leaders:
Jesse Jackson wrote an open letter to Saddam Hussein indicating that his opposition to the war has grown after Colin Powells presentation to the U.N. earlier in February. Jackson was a part of several large antiwar protests in recent months. Thats right Jesse Jackson, the man who called New York City Hymietown and Jews Hymies, the adulterer minister, the lover of Palestine and hater of Israel.
Louis Farrakhan, speaking in Baghdad this past July, reportedly said the Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq [in the war]. Farrakhan recently wrote an open letter to President Bush, in which he wrote, May Allah
guide you.
If Farrakhan was referring to the god that he serves, then I must assert that I hope Allah is the last one guiding our President.
And does Farrakhan really believe that President Bush is going to take advice from a known anti-Semite who once called Hitler a great man, a minister who has referred to Judaism as a gutter religion and Jews as the blue-eyed devil?
Next up on this list of civil rights leftovers is Al Sharpton. He and Jesse Jackson are together again, frequenting the antiwar/anti-American protests of recent months.
Sharpton is mounting his presidential run and thus is making an attempt to be on his best behavior, but its hard to forget his past: the Tawana Brawley hoax, the reference to a Jewish man as a white interloper and Jews as diamond merchants, the history of race-baiting that is only outdone by the men previously mentioned.
For the sake of brevity, Ill mention only one last collection of enraged black leaders. As reported by FinalCall.com, on February 8, in Detroit, Michigan, black clergy and black leaders from across the county united to denounce the war and send a message to President Bush.
Among the gems of this event were those uttered by Dr. Charles Adams, pastor of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, Rev. Marcia Louise Dyson (wife of hatemonger Professor Michael Eric Dyson, who was also in attendance at the event), and Rev. Fr. James A. Forbes Jr.
Adams proclaimed It is insanity, injustice and indecency to start a war in Iraq when we havent finished in Afghanistan, we havent cleaned up drugs in America and now we want to attack postage stamp-sized Iraq.
It may come as news to Dr. Adams that there was no out-of-the-blue start to the war it was a necessary and appropriate response to repeated violations of U.N. Mandates following the Gulf War.
Mrs. Dyson declared that We cannot say that we are against terrorism in other countries when terrorism exists right here in America. If Reverend Dyson finds democracy and freedom so troubling then perhaps she would be happier living with all the privileges and immunities Saddam had granted to the good people of Baghdad.
Finally we have the words of Rev. Dr. Forbes: If being a good American means ignoring the value of life, then we have a problem. If being a good American means we can flex our muscles to say, [America] can do whatever and ignore the sensibilities of men like Nelson Mandela, then we have a problem.
How could the Rev. Forbes have claim to care about the value of life, when he called on the United States government to hazard the lives of Americans be letting Saddam Hussein off the hook?
And last time I checked, Nelson Mandela was a communist an inherent enemy of the American republic. If our country had been founded on the sensibilities of Mandela then America would be the disaster that is South Africa.
It is amazing, but all too predictable, that the black leadership could be so united against America. As weve seen here, most of these leaders are ministers no less.
These people are supposedly called by God implying a respect for human dignity and yet they have no qualms at all in opposing a regime that secured safety for its people by liberating those oppressed by a brutal dictator.
Of course this united voice of the black leadership, reflected in an utter lack of pro-American support from the black community, should come to us as no shock.
We have long known that the majority of the so-called black civil rights leaders and black preachers are communist-socialist pigs who hate America and hate Israel passionately, despise President Bush, and cant stand the melting of their once widespread power since 9-11.
Click here to find out how you can help Rev. Peterson.
Since 9-11, the cries and rants of men like Jackson and Sharpton have seemed more and more trivial and spurious and they know it. This is the motive behind these desperate actins these childish grasps for the fraying threads of power that were once theirs.
Though their significance has exponentially dwindled, we must still be aware of the real threat these leaders pose. The civil rights movement has already succeeded in breaking down the black family. By emasculating the black man and enraging the black woman there is only the faintest line of defense against this hate America onslaught, and their influence has penetrated the black community.
Simply notice how the hatred of America, of Jews, of Israel, of Morality is so pervasive in the black community it is a reflection of the perversion and evil of its leaders. So it was with the war on Iraq.
In a time when we should have been uniting in America to speak with a solitary voice supporting freedom and democracy, these black problem profiteers used the Iraq war to divide us.
At BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, we have been revealing the destructive, evil nature that lies within the black leadership, and never has it been more apparent as in their present desperation. These people lined up against their country and favored a brutal dictator over a regime that values freedom and respect for human dignity.
I urge all Americans, especially black Americans, to unite rather than divide, to stay alert to the desperate attacks of these communist-socialist leaders of the black and white communities, and support our American troops in the fight for freedom against evil.
Dont let yourself be angered by the hate America crowd. If we become angry we can be controlled, but if we unite in the spirit of patriotism and freedom we cannot be defeated. Desperate times make black leaders more desperate, so be ready. Remember that our cause is just.
Thank you and God Bless,
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

"What happens if Sharpton actually becomes the Dem candidate?" They'll have a bonafide jackass for a candidate.

If Bush pushes and signs the assault weapons/mag ban...I'll resign from the Republican Party after 28 years as an activist and vote Libertarian. I believe there are two credible ways to change the party. One is from within. But the other more drastic solution is to force them to take gun owners seriously by voting them out even if it means giving the election to a Dem and using defensive tactics to slow or halt bad bills just as we did all those years when the Dems had the majority.
Republicans take gun owners for granted just like the Dems take minorities (especially blacks) for granted. The idea that everybody will play along even if they don't agree because they really have no other place to go! See, that's plain evil.

"Why can't conservatives just sit back and work on reducing gov't, taxes, getting us out of the UN, etc and worry about the election when it comes?" It's that kind of logic that makes us easy prey for the RATs and their dirty tricks. Within the bounds of legality and morality, we need to start beating them at their own game. "Just sitting back" is NOT the way to get anything done.

It's funny when their wack-jobs are out front. One of my favorite Sharpton moments was when he appeared on the old Howard Stern TV show (give me a break, I was in high school at the time). He was wearing a sweat-suit and Howard asked him why he wears sweat-suits when it's pretty obvious he doesn't exercise much.

Why is it that blacks want to look like whites, and many whites want to be black? I could never understand that, people should just deal with what they have and live their lives. I see so many white teens and adults who watch MTV and want to imitate these rappers by trying to look, talk and act like them and I see many blacks (like sharpton)with hair straighteners wanting their hair straight. Incidentally, those straighteners and hair curlers are big fire hazards, I have friends who are firemen and get calls to many fires which, as it turns out, were started by one of those implements.
