SILLY AL!

A few days ago "Rev." Al Sharpton had some unkind, hypocritical words to say about republican 08' presidential candidate Mitt Romney during a debate with an athiest. He basically degraded Mitt Romney's mormon religion saying that whatever running-mate of Romney truly believes in God will automatically deafeat him. This is the same civil-rights activist who succesfully got Don Imus fired (instead of forgiving in a Christian manner!) for reffering to black (and white, actually) women as "nappy headed hos". Keep in mind "Imus in the Morning" is a comedy show, and makes crude jokes all the time about other races and religions. Of course, Sharpton didn't get involved until he had the dreaded "black race card" to play. He diverted the subject by saying the Romney campaign commitee was over publicizing the comments to gain sympathy-votes. And made excuses by saying that he was reffering to Romney's Republican party, not his Mormon faith. Diverting the subject and making excuses are 2 things Sharpton has perfected over the years. He is also an expert at not answering direct questions. He wants to talk about "over publicizing"? Did he not just get a notoriously edgy-humor man fired for making a "racially insensitive" comment about african-americans and women (ultimate minorities)? Hm, the way the media plays it, I must've imagined that whole controversy. Of course, I'm automatically condemned a racist by questioning this high-profile BLACK man's actions. Along with Lou Dobbs, (thanks LOU! and for the illegal immigration program too!). But I especially want to thank Mitt Romney for handling this so professionally, and Christian (or Mormon) and not making a mountain out of....a mountain, I guess. You did the right thing. Here was Romney's initial response; "Perhaps he didn't mean it that way, but the way it came out was inappropriate and wrong.". -Devin
