| Scandalous Person Might Become America’s President in 2004 |
| 2003-01-22 |
| A black notorious lawyer runs for presidency in the States. It became known today that the first candidacy for the position of the American president has been officially registered. This person’s name is Al Sharpton. Democrats could hardly find a better gift for Republicans. This New York-based black lawyer and reverend is a very notorious persona. Sharpton is known as an organizer of demonstrations of black people to protest against local authorities. Those actions of protest often ended up in clashes with police. This allowed the new candidacy to touch upon the issue of the black population suppression in the United States. Gee, sometimes 'Pravda' really DOES mean truth. You have to admit that they certainly have The good Rev. Al nailed down. Sharpton became famous as a lawyer. He was a spokesman for black teenage girl Tawana Brawley, after she claimed that she was gang-raped by white men. As it turned out later, Brawley made the story up, trying to make her parents not to punish her for being disobedient. Sharpton tried to do his best to intensify the relations between black and white people in order to gain the national attention. He even made Tawana Brawley lie during the trial. Sharpton and Brawley were eventually charged with slanderous comments, and Sharpton was ordered to pay $65 thousand. Al Sharpton served several months in a federal jail for the organization of a protest action near an American Air Force base. The demonstration was over with a mass disorder. Despite all that, Sharpton managed to obtain the reputation of a fighter for the rights of disaffected people. However, a lot of American observers believed that the fact that he spent several months in a jail was something like his own promotion. For the time being, Al Sharpton (47 years old) tries to do his best in order to become more respectable. However, he still plays the game of a fighter for the rights of disaffected voters. As he says, there are too many white rich men amid those candidacies that run for presidency. Sharpton believes that those men do not have any notion of what common people and national minorities need. He says that more than 100 million people might vote for him – blacks, Latinos, and youth. Can the Rev. find some way to haul these godless ex-Commies into court for besmirching his soptless reputation? |

| #11 Oki-- There are millions and millions of African-Americans going out to work everyday, taking care of their families, their communities, and their country. No white person I know takes Al Sharpton as a spokesman for anyone other than Al Sharpton. The media created Step-n-fetchit and they created Al Sharpton. They have much to answer for but that doesn't mean we buy it. |

| #10 And Sharpton claimed he didn't have the $65K. This from a man who wears expensive suits ("People give 'em to me.") and sends his kids to private schools. |

| #8 Sharpton is a disgrace to the intelligent black community, he is a clown that makes whites think of blacks as idiots and fools. He is such a fucking joke. He is a fool who is an embarrassment to his own community; with so many educated blacks out there can the black community not field a better spokesman than this joker? We are amused and embarrassed that this guy could even be considered a spokesman for ANY US group, blacks or whites. What an embarrassing caricature of blacks he is. |

| #6 When presed for comments on the Brawley case, Sharpton has reportedly said " If Ted Kennedy isnt going to answer questions about Chappaquiddick and Hillary Clinton isnt going to answer qustions about her husband, I see no reason why I should answer questions about the brawley case" |

| #4 His office in New York just burned down! See here. There is no truth to the rumor that Paul Wellstone was seen running from the building shortly before the fire. |

| #3 except he's no lawyer - Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason were the lawyers (and were disciplined for their conduct) pressing the case with Sharpton as a participant. He graduated from Tilden High School; attended Brooklyn College - which leads me to believe he took like, a couple courses. Should make for a great Dem Primary race in '04 |
