A great article by Angela Mcglowan on “what Sharpton — and liberals — do best: bamboozle black voters…”. Kinda harsh, but true, and I’ve been listening to the shrill, selective, racist accusations from the Left so long that I’m worn out. From Human Events:
…Liberals’ dirty secret is that they can’t allow the hoodwinking of blacks, Latinos, and women to end. The electoral consequences would be devastating.
For liberals to win elections, they must continue to ride the backs of blacks, Latinos, and women. Hence the rise of victimhood venders like Sharpton, Jackson, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Sen. Hillary Clinton, who preach a gospel of victimhood, even as they gloss past the Democrat Party’s racist past. [Continues below...]
The Democrat Party’s murderous history of oppression, lynching, and intimidation has been hidden so well for so long that the mere mention of it seems conspiratorial rather than factual. But when you get them one-on-one, away from the microphones and the glare of camera lenses, some liberals like Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., will sometimes make startling confessions.
“The Democratic Party’s flag is the Confederate flag. It was our party’s flag,” Congressman Jackson told me. “So much of the Democratic Party’s history, since it is our nation’s oldest political party, has its root in slavery.”
And we blacks rode the donkey to freedom? I don’t think so. Don’t you mean the elephant?
I’m not sure what’s more tragic: the historical amnesia that afflicts so many of my brothers and sisters about the party that 90% of them vote for, or the fact that a Sen. Barack Hussein Obama would champion the very party that led the charge to murder and lynch our ancestors.
Liberals like to say that their party’s past is in the past, that those facts shouldn’t influence the modern debate. And yet, in the next breath, liberals advocate racial reparations, affirmative action and racial quotas all in the name of rectifying the evils of slavery.
Much to former Klansman Robert Byrd’s chagrin, Democrats can’t have it both ways. …

I heard that Senator Robert Byrd (D-KKK) liked Iron Maiden’s The Clansman until he learned that it was about a Scotsman instead of his own little social organization.
Noting how bigots and racists appeal to the absolute dregs of their respective societies, it is clear that the Democrats cling to Al Sharpton because he can deliver the votes of a certain class of Black people: the kind of Black people who, if they were white, would be wearing sheets and hoods. Sharpton’s National Action Network is, in fact, a hate group that has been involved in at least one fatal act of racist violence (Freddy’s Fashion Mart).

The bigots and racists are on the defensive, thanks a lot to the blogsphere — if I do say so myself. Guys like Sharpton can’t hide behind the AP and Reuters anymore, because anyone can get the goods.
