Does anyone else think Al Sharpton is a real idiot?

Loudmouth, yes; publicity seeker, yes. BUT... he's often the only person, in the NYC area anyway, who tries to speak out for poor people (of all races, in some cases). I agree that he's too quick to call for boycotts, demonstrations, etc. every time there's a problem he doesn't like. I don't know what his education level is, but he's a lot better at public speaking than some people who are educated, for example Pres. Bush--a man with degrees from Harvard and Yale! I practically cringe every time Bush mangles the English language. (Is it really that hard to pronounce "NEW- clee-ur"?) ;-)

I think he lives to keep racism alive. He and Jesse Jackson have done more to keep Black Americans down than any leader of the KKK or Aryan Nations.

If he is going to preach right and wrong then he needs to preach forgiveness. That man aplogized and hes being suspended so it wasnt ignored and he needs to go feed hungry children or do something worthwhile because he is not God and hes trying to play God. I never like it when anyone does that.

Growing up in the Bronx I've seen his face way too many times and I agree he is certainly a loudmouth. And it's the loudmouths in this country that increase the level of racism in my opinion. It's not a peaceful way to prove your argument. Gandhi didn't do it that way and Martin Luther King didn't do it that way. It goes to show how much you can accomplish without yelling out to the ends of the world.

You and I ought to have a contest to see who dislikes him the most.lol.I never have liked him. He was demanding an apology from Imus but I noticed he never apologized for the trouble he has caused.Look at what he did to the duke la cross team.he gave them such a hard time for raping that black woman but it turned out not to be true but did sharpton apologize for ruining those men's lives?Nooooo!In the mid 80's there was a cop caught on video beating a black man in cuffs up in trenton.he shot off his big mouth.said he was gonna lead a big march downtown .he was gonna do this and he was gonna do that UNTIL he got to Trenton and found out that the cop himself happened to be black.Did he apologize to the cops he falsely accused?nooooo! and what about in teaneck ,nj when a black girl accused a group of white men of raping her and it turned out to be false. did he apologize for the trouble he caused? nooooo! he's just a publicity seeker and i can't stand him.sorry .I got kinda carried away but he really irks me!

I personally like Al; somethings I don't agree with him on, but for the most part, I like the fact that he is there repping our interests; I respect that.

Wouldn't say he's an idiot after all he has made quite a good income for him self using with his talk radio and speaking. But am also sure he has his own interests at heart and and now way is he for anyone thant does not fit his narrow minded way of thinking. He is like a lot of other out spoken do gooder types that have a lot to say about everyone else and little creative things for actually changing the way people think or act. It's a shame folks like this are quick to talk about everyone else but in their own life do nothing to really affect change.

I was in a restaurant one time when Al Sharpton was in town, he unfortunately came to the same place. He was loud, and obnoxious. We left without finishing dinner. He is a publicity seeker. He may try and help people who are down, but he looks extremely stupid and when he back people that are lying.
