Sharpton: Poor Are 'Driven by Hate' If They Vote for 'Richest Guy' Romney in Mississippi
On Tuesday's The Ed Show on MSNBC, when host Ed Schultz opined that it would be "the strangest thing" if poor voters in Mississippi were to vote for the wealthiest candidate - Mitt Romney - MSNBC's Al Sharpton asserted that such voters would have to be motivated by "hate and bias" to make such a choice which he suggested "defies all reason." Sharpton:
That shows you where hate and inciting hate defies all reason because, as poor as the economy is in Mississippi and in Alabama, for them to vote for the richest guy who endorses the policies that reinforces their economic problems, is absolutely throwing reason out the window.
But if you're driven by hate and bias, and that is peppered by these talk radio, hate radio guys, then you don't even think about the fact that you're suffering under these policies. You vote for the policies that caused your suffering.

Lack of logic
Submitted by Demonhunter on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 12:22am.
Sharpton lacks logic and a grasp of the facts. No surprise there. But, why are we seeking expert analysis on Alabama and Mississippi from some moron who thinks it's against the law to organize a union there? Surely even the geniuses at MSNBC must know how stupid that is.
Oh wait, it was The Ed Show. Never mind.

.....says the richest guy on MSNBC.
Keep in mind this was said fully believing based on polling that Romney would Win.
So predictable: Sharpton was trying to take pot shots on what he believed would be the winning constituency.
Ah, we're back to the 'hate
Submitted by ant on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 12:32am.
Ah, we're back to the 'hate radio' thing again, are we? And this from the 'poor' man, Al Sharpton. Let's do a quick count of liberal 'solutions' to the problems facing us today;
-Bush and/or Palin's fault.
-Hate on the radio's fault/ incivility in discourse (only from the right, of course).
- The right wants dirty air, water, etc....
-Oil addiction of the People (algae is the answer!!)
-Obesity of the People
-racism of the People
- not enough taxes paid by the People (this from tax cheats peppering our government..Al knows something about that.)
-the 'conscience thing' from the Catholic People
-the right hates women (and their health) and immigrants and gays and muzzies and the middle-class and the environment and the poor...
- and so much more.
Except- the debt crisis, energy independence, terrorism, open borders, joblessness, homelessness, the de-valued dollar, high prices, over-burdensome regulations, EPA tyranny, TSA malfeasance, insider trading, lobbyists, the Mid-East problem, defense(oh wait..no, we cut that), government waste and fraud, voter fraud, Fast and Furious,...
Gee, not seeing many 'solutions' there..see a lot of fabricated problems/lies....no solutions to actual issues. Congress can't, for example, find it's way to pass a budget, but the Dems insist they must find money to provide 'free' contraception for all those sexually-active college students in crisis. Pathetic.

Just the fact that MSNBC, ... et al, liberal media would pose Rev' "Shawpton" as a political analyst is akin to naming "Calypso Louie" Farrakhan as the leader of a (supposed), religious sect. I do think Al makes a good mascot for this propaganda website posing as a "news outlet." Once you read that someone has quoted tha' rev' you know you're in for a chuckle. I love it when he exerts his "game face," and tries to portray a "real political guru."

Um, Al....whose policies are in place right now that contribute to their economic problems? Has Obama proposed changing any of them?

Sharpton knows what it feels like to be 'Driven by Hate' as evidenced in the audio recordings currently on Brietbart.com.

keep on saying it: Sharpton is an ignorant, uneducated bum who barely got out of high school and has ZERO formal seminary training. In fact he has no training beyond high school. He was ordained at age eight for Pete's sake. Id bet he knows nothing about theology or scripture. Google his biography. Black folks hold their preachers in high regard. He used that to perfect his flim-flam.

Hate and Bias
Submitted by Conservator on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 2:14pm.
Al Sharpton has it all wrong; the "hate and bias" policies he's referring to are President Obama's in point of fact. Alabama and Mississippi had better economies during the Bush recession - the so-called greatest recession since the Great Depression. Obama just made it worst; especially in the Gulf's southern states.
Well, Romney WAS my own third choice ...
Submitted by gopcongress on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 2:30pm.
Romney was my own third choice, but more because of his crony capitalism tendencies, not because he's rich.
Sharpton has not gotten the memo, though, in that Romney must be the GOP nominee as SOON AS POSSIBLE. To that end, we must vet our OWN candidates as rigorously from the right as possible. Since Romney is not moving to the right (or, more correctly, not INTERNALIZING conservative/constitutionalist principles), the primary process is needed to keep the focus on our REAL objective: to bring conservative/constitutionalist principles FRONT AND CENTER.
If Romney is the presumptive nominee early on, that will do TWO things:
1. It will depress conservative voting in November, hurting down-ticket candidates for US Congress, as well as state legislature (and some gubernatorial) races.
2. It will provide the democrats with a HARD TARGET to focus their billion-dollar advertising campaign, and to sustain that campaign with the shenanigans that the socialist media will have time to operate with.
Conversely, a strongly-fought, even undecided pre-convention GOP nominee process HELPS by ENGAGING the very conservatives we need to vote down-ticket. In addition, it puts Romney ON NOTICE that he will be VIGOROUSLY watched by the right, and won't take for granted the vote on the right.
If I were a democratic strategist, I would be looking to George Soros or other background donor to back someone on the right to run third-party, preferably someone like Ron Paul, to split the GOP vote in the general election, reelecting Obama with as little as 37% of the popular vote. But the later they try it, the more likely it will backfire as the third party candidate will not have time to sustain a campaign to peel off enough GOP voters from the main nominee. But they have three months to pull this off, and I think that will be their next big focus.
