ok, i really don’t like Al either, but though gone are the days of the pompadour, medallion & polyester sweat suit outfits, i must admit (if im being honest) that he does have moments (albeit brief ones)of sanity. in this case, i agree with him and thought he acted human. he didn’t wrinkle his nose up with that disdainful look of anger, and spew his hate. i’d be pretty pissed if that same scenario unfolded against “my guy”, and El Presidente Señor Juan McCain took the nomination that way. Al said “if she did it unfairly…”, and O’Reilly simply wanted to get Al going and wouldn’t stop until he got Al to give him the sound bite that he wanted to hear. OK…there…i said it. now i’ve proven i’m not a racist for 24 hours. until next time…adiós mis amigos! (just trying learn the new American lingo…get’n ready!)

Ed nails it:
“I don’t think Obama will be willing to tie his political fortunes to Bill and Hillary Clinton, and I don’t think that his supporters would forgive him easily if he did. The Clintons are everything that his campaign opposes — insider deals, nasty personal attack strategies, and the politics of the Beltway. Accepting that bottom slot would endorse all of that and eliminate the one advantage he gives the Democrats.”
Thanks for that.
My 2 cents worth are: The Hispanic vote will get split between BO and McCain because of the anti-black vote of the Hispanic community and because some of them will know that JMc an open borders, global guy…in that way he’s Bush III.
(Anyone remember HRC saying that Bush dropped the ball on immigration? Wow…she wasn’t paying attention.)
I hate to jinx it, but it looks like (after 8-7 months of withering fire at BO) our side wins. However, it depends on how you define ‘win’. We have a long, hard slog to go before the next long, hard slog.

Anytime I hear the word 'Sharpton' I have to pull out the Tawana Brawley files There are many things flung in the face of politicians and pol ops during interviews but two great unmentionables are Chappaquiddick and Tawana Brawley.

Hillary and Obama on the same ticket is a joke. If he’s #2 then he goes against the “change” he has used as his only platform from the beginning. Being a Clinton lap dog is not change, it’s an expectation. If she is #2, then Obama could be the first president to commit suicide.

As previously mentioned Hitlery is everything to Hitlery and she not Barack have any new ideas.

An neither does Sharpton. If I do not get my way I am going to stomp my feet and cry and your must follow my lead and stomp you feet and cry foul.

This is standard Demoncratic values of ME ME ME the h#$$ with the rest of you.

If the clintoon machine was ahead and Barrack O behind by the same numbers would we even be hearing of do overs in Mich. and Florida.

Not a chance the Clintoons are beyond despicable they did great damage to their own party and this country once and will do so again in their quest for power.

Why would Obama even consider vice pres for chrissake he’s ahead and looks to stay that way. If he offers she the vice pres. slot he best have extra security and sleep with one eye open else he may get suicided.

Every single time O’Reilly, Hannity or any other show hosts Sharpton they legitimizes someone who should be receiving public scorn. This is one of the many reasons I think Hannity is a joke. Anyone that listens to Sharpton or accepts him as a legitimate spokesman is either ill informed or willingly supports the corruption that has been the cornerstone of his career.

Why is Oreilly giving this racist pig face-time on tv? Better yet, how soon does Sharpton start co-hosting with Rivera?

Does anybody know out why the majority of black, church going Christians don’t vote republican?

Because the Republican Party is very tolerant of racists among its members.

OB should be running around on any news station offering Hill the bottom slot to counter her. Does anybody think Hill would accept being on the bottom.

Best laugh of the interview: Sharpton saying, “…as someone who is objective in this matter…”

“Let’s let the rules be the rules…”

What a tool! Don’t seat the Michigan or Florida delegates – we must abide by the rules.

But if it comes down to the Super-delegates, the rules don’t matter – do what the “electorate” wants.

I hope they do march and riot and burn. It will be a great capper and show all Americans what libs are really like in firey HD.

It is increasingly “change the rules in the middle of the game” with libs/Dems and I think we’ve all had about enough.

Where’s the Rev Jackson? Haven’t seen much of him lately. Did his wife finally neuter him?

Good. Beat it Sharpton. Go have a march with phony ass Obama and his racist wife. I actually up until last week had some respect for him. I thought his positions were completely wrong, but admired that he was firm in his stance. Come to find out that while he’s badmouthing NAFTA one of his cronies is up in Canada ice fishin’ with frogs and saying something completely different. Then today, we see the same beeaaatch who got canned for calling Hillary a “monster” on tape with the BBC doubletalking about withdrawing troops. OBAMA IS ANOTHER MITT ROMNEY. I don’t know while I’m so pissed. I should be jumping for joy, but I get really pissed when our elected officials pull a DIXIE CHICS. OBAMA has major league problems on his hands now. THIS IS GOING TO GET REEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAL UGLY. Oh yeah, I HATE MICHELLE OBAMA’S RACIST ASS WAY MORE THAN I EVER HATED HILLARY!!!

Chinese money goes from the Clinton re-election campaign to Sharpton’s National Action Network, Obama’s told to get with the program and the Democrats leave Denver untied to fight to “crazy and corrupt” John McCain, who Al will then tell you, is the biggest threat to racial harmony since Dr. King’s assassination.

Nothing new to see here folks. Move along…

The main thing that should get the minority vote for Republicans is School Choice, The democrats want to keep minorities stuck in failed public schools that cannot be fixed no matter how much money you throw at them, You MUST give the parents a Choice of shifting funds per-child from public schools to a private school of Choice, or they can choose to stay in the pubic school system..

The parents need the choice, why should they be stuck in a failed government schools?

A bit behind the curve, Ed. But I concur that nastiness of all kinds could lie ahead for the Democrats.
