I am no Al or Jesse fan but they did the right thing with public statements towards the death of Rev Jerry Farwell. I may not agree with them most of the time but this is one time I would tell both of them; "thank you".
"Over the years we became friends; sometimes we had polar opposite points of view. ... I have many fond memories of him. He leaves a great legacy of service and a great university behind. He's left his footprints in the sands of time." _ The Rev. Jesse Jackson.
The Reverend Al Sharpton said he was saddened and was praying for the Falwell family. He said although he often disagreed with the reverend, they had a cordial relationship.

After the Imus thing and the comment Sharpton made about Mitt Romney, it is clear to me that he is no more than a bigot and a drumbeater. Just because he says something nice every now and again says nothing about his negative character.
