'JEALOUS' REV. AL BLASTS BARACK |
2007-03-13 |
![]() The high-profile, self-promoting Sharpton ran for president in 2004, but had a dismal showing in the Democratic primaries. Sharpton has also been involved in a longtime and highly publicized rivalry for recognition as the nation's leading African-American political activist with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, also a former Democratic presidential hopeful. Obama, a polished Harvard-educated lawyer, puts forth a drastically different image from the street-smart high-school grad Sharpton. "It's driving Al crazy that Obama is as impressive and popular as he is, and he's not happy about it," said another black Democratic activist. "Sharpton is just terrified of being overshadowed by someone of Obama's class and character." Sharpton also has a personal ax to grind, a source close to him said. "Al had wanted to run again for president in 2008," the source said, "but now that Obama is a serious candidate in the race, that has become impossible." It wouldn't be Christian to hope Obama's carried off by Gypsies or run over by a bus. It wouldn't even be agnostic. So I won't. But I'm hoping Rev. Al somehow gets his wish, if only because what little sense of humor I have extends to the ridiculous. |

#7 said the activist, who supports Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Plain and simple, get an (IN famous) Black to slam Obama, and then Hillary can't be accused of "Racism", Problem is it only works if you don't get caught at it. |

#4 Rantburg professional reading recommended for both Rev Sharpton and the Senator. Favor us all by reading quickly and moving rapidly to the field phase as soon as possible please. "The Art of Dueling" The Richmond Publishing Co. Ltd. 1971. Cloth. Fine/Very Good. First Thus. ISBN: 85546 158 6. Originally printed in 1836. 70pp. Author's name unknown. A practical guide to the art, etiquette and general institution of dueling "that will sufficiently educate the raw youth in the practice, to enable him to accept a challenge and take the field on equal terms with a skilled antagonist". Includes an appendix giving accounts of dueling and invitations to duel by the likes of the Duke of Wellington. |

#3 "Al had wanted to run again for president in 2008," the source said, "but now that Obama is a serious candidate in the race, that has become impossible." Two words. Matching funds. The "Reverend" will be there just for that 2 year party on the taxpayers. |
