Back in another thread there was a photo (which made me laugh) of Al Sharpton and Ann Coulter together. To my mind they are equally respectable, i.e., charlatans who should not be accorded a stage or recognition. I'm not the slightest bit surprised that Sharpton dissed someone else's religion, because he has a history of making bigoted comments such as the reference to "white interlopers" who owned a store in Harlem that some thugs later burned. Why don't the papers go to someone respectable, who has actually accomplished things other than rhetorical bomb-throwing, when they want a black spokesman? Vernon Jordan, for example off the top of my head? Or any of the dozens or hundreds of serious people who are leaders in the black community. I just don't get it. Or maybe I get it too well: being outrageous sells ads.
