Say what you like Al Sharpton is sharp as a tack

[malaise]

Newt isn't getting away with his usual bullshit in this interview

[Politicalboi]

1. I noticed Newt didn't bring up

The huge deficit Ronnie left. And why have this gasbag on. He does nothing but lie. The only lie he didn't say was he was honored to be among the rest of the scum in their boys club meeting to bring this country down.

[malaise]

2. Fugg Newt

Al is eating him for supper on race - who is on welfare, who has role models.

[Politicalboi]

6. Why have Newt on

We know he is lying. Al knows he's lying, and making excuses. 3 months ago Newt called Rmoney a liar, and now supports him.

8. Ask GEM$NBComcast

particularly Comcast

3. Even though Rev. Sharpton show is generally a "commentator" show

He is doing an exponentially better job of asking tough questions of Newt Gingrich (of all people) with a fearlessness that "mainstream" journalists could only WISH they had...

[malaise]

15. Yep

but he has walked the walk

[coalition_unwilling]

4. In 2004, Sharpton gave some of the best speeches

any Dem presidential candidate made. They were poorly covered by the MSM and you had to search hard to find them. But they laid out the positions of the kind of Democratic Party I want to be a member of.

9. Good point

[BlueIris]

20. Sharpton was one of my favorite people in 2004.

He did great work at the convention.

5. I listen to Al Sharpton,

and as soon as Newt opens his mouth, I turn down the volume.

7. Another Republican who said Obama had control of both houses in his first year in office

I hear this from Republican pundits on almost an hourly basis on MSNBC without the host ever mentioning the term "filibuster proof majority". At least Rev Al challenged Newt about his claim that Obama didn't want to compromise and brought up the fact that Boner and Obama's debt negotiation fell through because of the Teabaggers. I wish Sharpton had asked Newt why he and all the other Republican debaters on the debate stage raised their hands indicating they wouldn't even take a deal involving 10 budget cut dollars for every dollar in tax cuts. Newt has the nerve to say Obama isn't a reasonable moderate or compromiser???

[jillan]

10. That was great!! I loved it from the beginning when Newt was buttering Al up, saying he was a role

model for losing so much weight and Rev Al replied 'we'll see if you still think I'm a role model after this interview'



It just got better from there.

[malaise]

14. That was sweet

[The Second Stone]

11. I've always thought that Al Sharpton is one of the

most intelligent speakers I have heard. He is truly gifted in that regard.

[deaniac21]

12. The most moral and ethical man on TV.

[Raine]

13. Al did a GREAT job, he's one of my very favorites on MSNBC. nt

[AJTheMan]

16. I'm not so sure about Al Sharpton.

I have a question about him. I know that he is black and that he is a religious man. Now generally black pastors come out vehemently against gay marriage. What did he say whenever President Obama announced that he was in favor of gay marriage? I'm just trying to figure out if Mr.Sharpton is truly a progressive.

[Lilyeye]

17. Al Sharpton is for gay marriage if I am not mistaken.

His talked about it on his show about how an injustice for one group is an injustice for all., I am not sure what he said about President Obama though.

[AJTheMan]

19. This is good then.

I just know that whenever the President said he was in favor of gay marriage, most black pastors came out strongly opposed to this. I figured, well, if Al Sharpton is a black pastor, then maybe he is against it. I'm glad to see he is not.

Funny thing, Manny Pacquiao, the boxer and congressman from the Philippines said that Obama's statement was an attack on the will of God.

[butterfly77]

18. I notice that newt.

harps on what black people are or arent doing like they are a species from another planet. He looks at Detroit as an experimental lab he has been harping on Detroit for years. Did he bring up Newt's contract on America ..

[markpkessinger]

21. Al has definitely grown on me in recent years . . .

Although I couldn't stand the kind of demagoguery he engaged in 20-30 years ago!
