So you think that Al had “let it go” and “dropped her soon enough” when he claimed that the Attorney General for New York, Robert Abrams was masturbating to photographs of Tawana Brawley and that she was victim of “IRA initiation tactics.”
I’m also a bit surprised by the comment that he has “let it go” since my understanding is that he has yet to acknowledge that Tawana clearly lied and he has yet to pay the damages to the man he libeled as ordered by a court.
Yeah, but other than that, he’s totally atoned. Apology to Pagones and all. Oh, wait, not that either.
But other than that.
It’s actually the LACK of cognitive dissonance that’s astounding. CD is the uncomfortable feeling from holding conflicting viewpoints at once, not simply the holding of those two viewpoints.
I know, I keep waiting for some hard-nosed muckraker like Katie Couric to ask Sharpton the hard questions like what newspapers and magazines he reads.
You do realize that the one does not preclude the other? A person can act differently when he’s on his own out of town than he does when he’s at home with his wife and kids.
I think it’s incumbent upon anyone who wants to allege that Al Sharpton patronizes hookers to prove it.
It matters that Palin has achieved a much higher degree of stature within the Republican Party than Sharpton ever achieved among the Democratic.
A politician’s Evil Index is arrived at by multiplying his or her level of evil as an individual by their degree of political support and influence.
Burton saw Sharpton bringing hookers up to his room. Isn’t that kind of like evidence? I think it puts the ball in your court now to prove he wasn’t patronizing prostitutes.
Nemo, you can’t be serious. The totality of evidence is one person posting on the internet and** Dio **has to disprove that?
It’s nothing like evidence, actually. How does Burton know they were hookers? How do we know Burton actually saw Al Sharpton? How do we know Burton even exists?
Come on now. Someone on the Internet is claiming to have seen something that even if he did, he could be wrong about. Treating it seriously is fairly weird is it not. I know arguing with Dio is favorite pass time here but seriously?
At least Palin pays her taxes.

And at least Reverend Al buys his own clothes.
Actually, I don’t know why I’m defending Al. Fuck them both.
That’s a fair point. Of course, so is the fact that in one case, it is income tax on a few thousand vs. three and a half million total.

Cite?
Don’t forget her little scandal involving her theft of taxpayer money and resources as Governor. Also don’t forget her numerous other ethics violations.
No cognitive dissonance there, bub. The union movement hasn’t honestly represented working people of any race for decades.
The left hates middle and working class whites because that’s where much of their opposition comes from. The last thing the left wants is for them to have any figure they can rally around, and that’s why there is so much vicious hatred for Sarah Palin.
When unions are corrupt, it is meaningless to call them free.
The left hates Sarah Palin because she’s too ignorant to be a credible leader. Of course this makes the mouth-breathers in the right’s base think, “Go getum’ Sarah!”
Who exactly do you think the left are?
Er, no. The left hates Sarah Palin because she is a narcissistic idiot with no demonstrated competency for higher office.
President Sarah Palin would be like a toddler holding an Uzi - capable of inflicting enormous damage to the country, the world and/or herself without really being fully aware of the consequences of her actions. There are Republicans I loathe for their policy positions and ruthless tactics - Dick Cheney or John Bolton, to name two - who I don’t think are stupid or incompetent; quite the opposite. But Palin is not one of them.
