Oh, No He Didn’t: Sharpton Accuses Obama Of “Grandstanding In Front Of White People”

Well, you can put this one in the “Slap my face and call me Sally” file, because this is WAY over the top, even for Al Sharpton:

Barack Obama made a call for nonviolence in the aftermath of the Sean Bell verdict - infuriating the Rev. Al Sharpton, who accused the presidential candidate of trying to “grandstand in front of white people,” sources told The Post.

Is this the Twilight Zone all of a sudden? Because isn’t “grandstanding in front of white people” what Al Sharpton does for a living?

I don’t like Obama, but what exactly is wrong for calling for a restraint to violence in the issue? Oh, wait.....is it because Sharpton and his “close the city down” rhetoric could be eclipsed by someone like Obama?

Can’t have that now, can we Al?

Sharpton doesn’t like competition.

Looks like Al is irritated because BO won’t acknowledge his socialist “principles” which are clearly reflected in his books:  ‘Dreams of My
Father’ and the one titled after his now “repudiated”
mentor’s sermon, ‘The Audacity of Hope.’ Will the real Barry/Barack please stand up?

Al Sharpton is an egotistical slacker and opportunist. Would someone like to take him out?

Watashiwa:

Take him out....to dinner? Only if he’s buying.

Or if you’re talking about Sopranos style taking out then, no. I don’t endorse that kind of thing just because I don’t like the idiot or agree with him.

Go to Kos or Huffington for that stuff. The kinder and gentler lefties are full of it.

No way would I endorse taking out Sharpton.  If I were so inclined (which I am not), it would be very difficult to get past his Nation of Islam (NOI)(Farrakhan) bodyguards.  I wonder if BO’s NOI acolytes in his Senate and Presidential campaign headquarters would help now that Al has “dissed” Obama?  Don’t think so.

Al and his crownies are nothing more than race baiters.  Looks like the child is afraid that someone else might take the spotlight away from him.


A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

They are master race baiters. 

Had to beat Proof to that one.

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.
