I wanted to start a thread like this but was afraid I'd get banned. When I hear people compare Sharpton to Jesse Jackson I want to puke. The only thing they have in common is the color of their skin. Jackson has worked tirelessly for years for workers and victims of all kinds as well as being a party stalwart. He has been responsible for Dem victories in the south with his voter registration and gotv drives. By contrast Sharpton has done none of this. He has endorsed the GOP when it suited his needs. Not to mention his anti-Semitism which none of the candidates has had the guts to confront him with. He's gotten a free ride. Now he cries racism when he's exposed as a GOP shill. If I'm Kerry or Edwards, come convention time I tell Mr Sharpton that his support is not wanted and that he is not welcome inside the hall - much less getting a prime time speaking spot.
