I love Al Sharpton. He's smarter than all those other suits put together...and funnier.

Let's put some in office who cracks jokes and likes to act! After all it seems to be the credential trend for american politicians!

dude reminds me of one of these crooked dallas babtist ministers.

it's fitting because he's a complete joke and an embarassement in my opinion

if you say controversial things at least you stay in the public's attention even if blacks are only ~18% of the US population. :)

jazx... what the hell does that mean?

I guess Al Sharpton is alright unless you're Jewish. He's said some anti-semitic remarks.
I still don't understand what 18% of the population thing means though?
- JazX0
well the guy is a laughing stock, he always seems to stick his head in at the opportune moment to represent some 'fallen from grace' African-American that also in the spotlight. A bit like Jesse Jackson in a way. It's total BS. Anyway, I didn't say he isn't funny, because he totally is and they will probably spoof that on SNL. So all the power to him, but that doesn't mean you have to take this cat serious.

I mean that 18% as in a small number in comparison to total poulation of USA. Yet representing and speaking on behalf of popular African-Americans in the media keeps his head above water. Get me? :)

i just realized how many of you are just completely ignorant. think before you speak. do your homework if you want to ace the test. go look up rev al's bio. involved with the civil rights movement since the 70's. and go look up his recent work with the national youth movement. the media butchers his standpoint and whenever he tries to speak up he is laughed at. thus, making the masses believe the same poopie doodoo that was fabricated. give this guy a listen. and if you still don't get it, you probably never will. yes, he has many flaws. but he gives a shit about his people and he does something about it. his views on current events are very insightful.

and now he is gonna make a fool of himself on SNL and won't be taken seriously by anyone anymore.

I heard him for the first time on the Democratic candidates debate, and he was the only one that seemed to believe in what he was saying.
Some say Bush is man of the People. Same with Al but at least Sharpton uses his brains...

did anyone see them make fun of him on the daily show... that colbert guy kept asking him about his hunger strike and how he got fat so quick again... it was pretty funny.

Sharpton has some good observations of political hypocrisy. But he's part of the same hypocrisy. Never trust a reverend wearing a $1800 suit.
