Why was Al Sharpton not popular in 04 but Osama is?

(1/4) > >>

George:
Blacks usually vote monolithically democrat and often for a Black candidate, but when Sharpton ran for president in 04 he wasn't popular among Blacks or any other Democrats. His positions are probably identical to Osama's and they're both Black so why do you think he did much worse than Osama? And also Jesse Jackson was scrutinized by the media when he ran for president while the media adores Osama. Is it because he's younger than them when they ran because that's the only difference?

Al Sharpton is a rebel, a bit like many blacks themselves. That kind of person is wanted to fight the system not to run it.

Furthermore, they wouldn't trust him in power because they'd know what they'd do if they had power.  (think of blacks charging into shops after a hurricane) . They'd think he'd just take all the money and live like a king at their expense.

Obama appears more restrained and sympathetic, more white in character.  They were a bit apprehensive about him early on, because they thought of him as maybe a self hater and undermining their rebellion. The rebel leaders were angry with him (jesse jackson said he wanted to cut his balls off). But when the black people discovered that he had hardcore black roots, they felt more comfortable.   

Also, Al Sharpton is very unpopular amongst jews.
see youtube video. sharpton on one of jackie mason's program..

 
He was with the blacks during the horrible 1990 crown heights riots (it's a shame rabbi kahane was murdered before they took place. The JDL could have prevented it).

Apparently now Al Sharpton talks like a moderate a bit, but he is unapologetic and and people have their memories and don't like him. and criticise his actions which he either defends or denies.

money.....both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson did not have the support of movers and shakers that want Obama in the White House.  any time McCain gets a point ahead of Obama, Obama (must be flying w/no sleep to keep this momentum up,) goes back to Florida, for instance, where Sarah Palin drew 60K supporters at The Villages, a retirement community.  Obama, earlier in the week began at University of Miami to spew his radical commie Marxist socialist, etc. agenda at this private, very expensive university.  a party school beyond belief (i am an alumni,) their math, science, psychology and music depts. in the undergraduate school are very good and their marine biology, law school and medical school are outstanding.  Now Obama, seeing what a great reception Sarah Palin rec'd, must not have that.  So it's back to Florida to scare the elderly.  He stated to the elderly, the state is now swinging towards Obama according to Rasmussen and/or Dick Morris on 9/24/08 (I forgot because I am so tired of writing this stuff,) he is up by one % as of 9/24/08 but on 9/23/08 he was not.  Still, you could see the tides changing.  Now Virginia is having the same problem.  Laura Ingraham, who is very smart and often fills in for Bill O'Reilly on tv and has her own talk radio show, was very discouraged when she saw that millions were being dumped in Virginia where it looked like McCain was doing okay.  When McCain extended the invite to Obama on 9/24/08 to meet in Washington, liar Obama claimed he extended the invite first.  this is how petty he is and a liar, and, furthermore, the lengths he will go to annialate his opponent.  Pres. Bush says Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain will both be present on 9/25/08 in Washington to help with the economic mess.  First though, on 9/24/08, Obama had to announce that when you are president you have to multi-task (he said exactly do more than one thing at a time,) and that the debate Friday evening focusing on foreign affairs should be delayed (this was said by McCain,) and Obama twisted it around claiming that both should and could be accomplished.  Obama further threw in this: and we can discuss the economy [during the debate on foreign affairs.  what an innovate thinker he is.]  i could go on and on but it is late and his crazy statements drive me nuts.  

Race could/probably had something to do with why Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's efforts to be elected not that many years ago.  Michael Dukakis (I keep referring to him growing up in Boston remembering what an ******* he is,) is now screeching "racism," just in case the bad economy doesn't get Obama into the White House.  It is my opinion that all these tactics Obama uses are sucker punches, not gentlemenly [when Sen. McCain invited Sen. Obama to Washington to help with the banking mess on 9/23/08.]

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson didn't have 300 consultants to tell them what to do as is the case with Barack Hussein Obama.  BHO did not agree to go to Washington at least 12 hrs. later or more.  He did his hatchet job on the McCain-Palin ticket, consulted with his hundred upon hundreds of advisors (and look who his closest advisors are,) before agreeing to go to Washington when President Bush asked him to, not when Sen. McCain did.  He has no manners....he can't help he's an oaf because of his upbringing, but I would have thought some of his Harvard days would have rubbed off on him and he would learn how to behave civally....oooh, I forgot, no one around Columbia or Harvard remembers him.

Dr. Dan:
Because Obama is better looking.

angryChineseKahanist:
What?? Al Krapskin got all the black support. He didn't get the support of Americans.
Osama is half white and is good at pretending to speak like an American.
Al Krapskin speaks like a native African.
