TNR editor: Jackson, Sharpton are "unsavory", "racist hustlers" & "thugs"

[Rose Siding]

LAMONT'S UNSAVORY SUPPORTERS:
...But, if Lamont is trying to put himself forward as a new face in the Democratic Party, the two men who planted themselves right in back of him on the stage at the victory party gave it all away. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are hustlers, and racist hustlers at that. They have accomplished nothing for African-Americans, nothing. Jackson keeps himself alive by conning big corporations out of bags of cash. He is a one-man reparations racket. Sharpton is the reverend with the big silver jewelry, and it isn't a cross....Ned Lamont, the candidate from gentle-mannered Greenwich, should be ashamed to have had two such thugs as his intimate supporters.

If only Rev Al and Jesse, as private citizens, had solved all those nasty race problems already, Marty would be so so happy.

to have Martin Peretz as a supporter, than Jackson and Sharpton.

3. Ok, gotta say it

Sharpton is kind of a pos. That Tawana Brawley incident will, and should, haunt him forever. He did make one helluva speech at the Democratic Convention in '04 though.

5. Be prepared.........

6. Demonizing Black folks is sooooo easy!

Martin Peretz should be ashamed to take the easy route in his stereotypical analysis!

7. This is going to be a very dirty campaign coming this fall.

Expect tons of more hate and slander to thrown at us, and not just from the right wingers and their pundit "tools" in the MSM, but from so called "Democratic supporters" such as The New Republi(can).

8. That sounds like something that newscentral guy said
