      When all else fails pull out The Wingnut Blame Game List:
      1. Soros
      2. Rev Al
      3. Rev Jesse
      4. and everyone non white

      Bitter idiots like Rush actually give Al and Jackson waaaaay to much credit and power. They were not the only folks in America who did not want to see Rush own the Rams. The NFL was feeling heat from ALL over the place

      They ARE race hustlers. I don't agree with most of what Limbaugh says but Sharpton and Jackson are dangerous. They scream racism every time anything negative happens to a black person. Remember those 6 black kids that were arrested for brutally beating that white kid? They tried to make it look like those kids didn't do anything wrong but that they were simply the victims of racism. It's freaking ridiculous.

        You have the Jenna 6 case twisted.
        No one wanted to see the charges dropped against the young black kids. The SENTENCE was CRAZY and YES RACIST. All that was aksed is that the kids gets a FAIR sentence and NOT the 60+ years that the judge first handed down over a fight inwhich a few hours later the victim was out and about partying.

        Al and Jesse including ALL who protested did NOT want the charges dropped- just wanted the court system to be FAIR

          Just because the judge was harsh, it doesn't make the case racist. There's no evidence for that.

              All I'm saying is, yes, it is possible that the judge was racist, but without evidence, it's not fair to just ASSUME it.

                    hahaha. people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones your punctation skills are not perfect. but glad you could read what i wrote what but as usual you missed the point completely. You provided no context to the case or to why there was a protest you just attacked Rev. Sharpton for calling the judge racist which you even admitted may be true. I don't know if Sharpton did or didn't it really is beside the point especially because there was injustice taking place in Jena, Louisiana.One of the defendants spent 10 months in jail for nothing and was unjustly tried as a adult a wrong decision by the judge and eventually overturned by another court. Guess what the judge has been removed from the case for showing obvious bias,it's stupid to quivel over whetehr he was racist or not his action were illegal and he is now off the case. You just wanted to start some phony argument or either you are ignorant about the facts surrounding the controversy to make such a statement, in that case you should just keep your mouth shut because you don't know what you were talking about.
                    For those interested in a discussion of the case with the lawyers and legal advisors defending the Jena 6 on NPR.

              there is nothing respectful about stark, he doesn't have a point and his depth of knowledge about the Jena 6 case(he didn't even know the name)probably doesn't go beyond Sharpton was protesting I 'am therefore against it.

          60+ years? where did you get that from? The Bell kid was sentenced to 18 months, it that too harsh for a coordinated attack by 6 kids against 1. And not to mention that Bell has been in trouble repeatedly since this case, as have others involved in the case.

          And you are wrong there were people who wanted them freed before and after the convictions.

        To be fair, I think they were protesting the punishment they received more than whether they were guilty or not.

        The big issue that stands out to me is the Duke Lacrosse player thing.

                Hey, Stark Raving Idiot, try reading the thread from yesterday before you start putting words in anyones mouth.

                Hey, Barry Bonds? Try attacking the CONS before you come after the LIBS, OK? To lump us all together would be pretty racist, on your part. ;)

                And to both of you: I don't have to love Jax & Sharp to be liberal, or even to been relatively enlightened when it comes to race.

Al Sharpton nor Jessie Jackson didn't create racism and the don't have to fabricate it,they have been right more often then the few examples you throw out to persecute them.

        I'm sorry that Jesse Jackson is constantly lumped in with Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton does not deserve to be taken seriously by anyone in the media after the Tawana Brawley case, his role in which he has never apologized for. Jesse Jackson, on the other hand, has been a dedicated fighter for Civil Rights for his entire adult life.

            I can't begin to imagine what being less than one hundred percent faithful to your wife has to do with being a Civil Rights leader. Clearly you can, my guess because you are a stupid, racist moron.

            But please, prove me wrong- tell me how you dismiss any praise of other adulterers, like Ronald Reagan, because they cheated on their spouses.

      At the risk of re-incurreing the wrath of Barry Bonds, I'll second the broken clock analogy. At this point, I still feel that Sharpton and Jackson do more harm than good for their cause. For better or worse (and granted Limbaugh & co play no small part in maintianing this) Tawanly Brawley is Al Sharpton's Chappaquidick. Also these two guys are divisive to the point that they make it very easy for racist scumbags like Limbaugh to point to them and influence moderate whites to turn against civil rights and affirmative action. Yes, Limbaugh himself is still (and always will be) the bigger bad guy, but there are many people in this world who are doing loads of good in the black and other minority communites and for the country in general who don't generate the kind of controversy these two do. Who are they? I have no idea. I don't know who they are, because they haven't used the issue to make a name for themselves the way Jackson and Sharpton have! They just do the (otherwsie thankless) work and make the world a better place for nothing more than a modest salary and the self-satisfaction of having made a difference.

      ----------------------------------------------------------------
      I've defended Acorn agressively, and will continue to do so until I'm shown some real evidence to the contrary. I just can't see doing the same with these two, until I'm shown some evidence to the contrary.

      Jesse shouldn't be lumped in there with Al. Al Sharpton is a decent guy who at times goes a little too far. Greed and abuse of our capitalism at work. Get it anyway you can and not care about all the people you step on to get into that position. You have to point him in the right direction every once in a while because hes not perfect and gets greedy. Common with people in his position.

      Overall he does good work and helps people so many in the black community joke about him but usually put up with his antics because his positive contribution is way greater than his downfalls. Still he needs to be held accountable and debated truthfully. He is almost like a lawyer also hes brought in as a leading expert on race relations but he doesn't always say that the situations are about race. For all the talking about needing to watch rush. you need to follow Al to see more than the racist stories that hes involved in that make headlines.

      Also quit whining about the Duke Lacrosse case. Men in general are assumed guilty in rape cases. The players were lucky they were at Duke and white because that publicized their trial and dove deeper into the evidence. I really wonder if they would have been found innocent if there were somewhere else under different circumstances.
