I dont think Im breaking any new ground here by stating that Al Sharpton is a hate mongering hypocrite, and it really doesnt bother me all that much that as a "man of the cloth" he is judging/condemning another man by his belief system and lets be honest that is exactly what he was doing -- whether he was inisinuating that Romney is not qualified because of the God he believes in or if we are to believe Al's excuse that he was referring to Hitchens -- the god that he doesn't -- they were the words of intolerance any way you slice it, and there is no place for it in the public discourse.
But lets be honest here... Al Sharpton is a joke. He was a joke back when he was running roughshod all anti-Semitic like around Crown Heights in an Adidas track suit and a Benz medallion around his neck and he is a joke now rabbling rousing in his Armani suits and Soul-Glo dome as the shit throwing attack dog of the Democrat Party.
...and that is what bother me.
Al Sharpton is the voice of the liberal Democrat Party and that is why none of the dem candidates will condemn his antics or distance themselves from his bigotry. Hell they condone it, as his words are theirs. Sharpton is the dem kingmaker and if the fact that our next President may be beholden to the likes of him doesn't scare you then you are a no good god damn traitor to basic human decency.
ps do dems every apologize for anything?

Dems, and especially minority dems don't apologize. Why would they? The media never takes them to task and even if they report something it never lasts.
i think the dems don't condemn him because he's a crazy opportunist quick to launch ad hominem attacks (such as this despicable use of atheism as an insult) and level charges of racism at anyone who criticizes him.
the dems are afraid of alienating "the black community" (as if sharpton speaks for all blacks) and think that sharpton helps them.
boy, are they wrong.
the best thing about obama running (i think i heard this on cnn or something) is that he IS black, so he's not beholden to sharpton, and he represents a new generation of black leaders who can finally put sharpton, jackson, rangel and the rest of their disgusting, corrupt cronies to bed.
and the democrats should start apologizing when the republicans do... don't hold them to a higher standard just because you don't like them. (i dislike all of them.)
First of all you are dead wrong about Obama. He does need Sharpton for the "black" vote, or at least he thinks he does (the polls say so) as was demonstrated by his (along with all dem candidates) kowtowing at Rev's Nat'l Inaction Network Conference.
Secondly and not so shockingly you are wrong again. Repubs do nothing but apologize, and quite frankly their pusillanimousity pisses me off. The GOP cannibalize their own at even the slightest wiff of controversy. Examples too numerous to cite but not as many as dem transgressions being rewarded with promotions (see current dem leadership -- too numerous to cite)
Dont get me wrong I think they all (99%) are scumbags but I give them the benefit of the doubt as I have no choice, however I have 1 Rule, when caught you gots to go....
Name me ONE prominent Dem that stepped down or was punished after a scandal?
Exactly.
...and its not because they are the MOST ETHICAL CONGRESS EVER EVER, in fact its looking quite the opposite.
Somewhat interesting sidenote, it seems (likely but unsubstantiated as of this time) that Obama and I may be related on my double g grandma Delia Kearney's side, and yet Im still the blacker Irish.
Back to Sharpton....
He needs a sharp smack to the mouf and then an eternity of obscurity.
