Sharpton is the more poisonous of the two, but Jackson is plenty toxic.<br /><br />They specialized, from the beginning, in inciting blacks to threaten whites so they could extract payoffs. See Jackson and Anheuser-Busch.<br /><br />Sharpton is even cruder; his racket is hustling donations, grants, speaking fees, whatever, by pandering to the angry. Find a controversy, inflame one side, posture as the advocate of that side. He's incited arson and other violence.<br /><br />If you took Jackson seriously, you were a fool. If you took Sharpton seriously, you were an idiot.<br /><br />[The captcha for this entry is "sleyze"...

Now seeing the damage done due to Obama's lack of allegiance to the US, I would find it impossible to think she may vote for him again. That she refuses to talk about Obama's ineligibility is totally irresponsible.<br /><br />http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2011/10/09/multiple-instances-of-historical-scholarship-conclusively-establish-the-supreme-courts-holding-in-minor-v-happersett-as-standing-precedent-on-citizenship-obama-not-eligible/Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02864660386925998491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-92036114034454462592011-10-13T16:00:03.947-05:002011-10-13T16:00:03.947-05:00Michael said...
