Obama made a new enemy: Al Sharpton

Barack Obama made a call for nonviolence in the aftermath of the Sean Bell verdict - infuriating the Rev. Al Sharpton, who accused the presidential candidate of trying to "grandstand in front of white people," sources told The Post.

During what a source described as a "heated" phone call yesterday, Sharpton told Obama he was disappointed with the Illinois senator's words on Friday, when Obama said "resorting to violence to express displeasure" was "completely unacceptable and counterproductive."

All I got to say is this man is a fucking joke I swear. It would not be good for Obama if he suddenly agreed with Sharpton to make an issue known by establishing anarchy in America's biggest city.

Indeed, As a black person I think he teaches and preaches hatred something I am against no matter what race and he is an embarassment to me. I often want to throw up when blacks call him a voice of the black people. He is a lawyer first, a known thug, and just because people do not agree with him or the NAACP doesn't mean we are trying to appease or "grandstand in front of white people".

Obama's more of the voice of black people now, given how he just refused to help riot in New York. Sharpton, on the other hand, lost his credibility a LONG time ago and loses it more for every little thing involving black people that he has to blow up. If he tried to help get poorer families out of the ghettoes and into nicer homes, off welfare and into better schools then more people would respect him.

Just as there are "stupid white people" who listen to Alex Jones, InfoWars, Rense, Limbaugh, etc......there are "stupid black people" who listen to Farrakhan and Sharpton......

Common denominator?

Stupidity.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood

This is GREAT news.

I hope it continues. I hope Obama goes directly against Sharpton. I hope others listen.

Obama is about "hope", right?
