Al Sharpton is now attacking Joe Biden about his comments in which he described Barack Obama as "articulate" and "clean". The most important person in this controversy, Obama himself, said that he wasn't at all offended by Biden's comments. Unfortunately, though, it still seems that Sharpton sees this as a golden opportunity to get his name in the papers. I'm a liberal Democrat (and damned proud of it), but I really wish that the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would just go away. If anything, they're actually racists who promote conflict instead of trying to solve it, and the Democratic Party and the black community would both be better off if they just weren't taken seriously.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are racists and race baiters who do nothing but promote racial tensions for their own personal gains. Whether or not you are a Liberal or conservative, it doesn't matter, it just takes common sense to see that.

Because he wouldn't be the (racist) black 'leader' he is.
He's never, ever apologized for the lies in the Tawana Brawley case.

Because he doesn't have to, based on the First Amendment.
However, you have the choice whether to listen to him spew or not.

Because if he just shut up and went on about his business, no one would know who he is or even care. And that is worse than death to someone like him...
