Wow! Al Sharpton has the universal microphone right now and it's LOOOOUUUUD!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

Go Rev, Go!

This is a defining moment in history, my dear fellow DUers!

And you're here to see it!

The only thing that saddens me is that Mike Brown will never know that his death was the final straw.

1. I always forget how good he is until I see him outside his TV show.

Bringing down the house.

2. Watching on GEM$NBComcast

Today is Marcus Garvey's Birthday

4. Having a person who can have a loud rallying cry is important. And a big responsibility.

I have mixed feelings about Rev, but a lot of them are positive. One way or another, he's been a warrior for civil rights all along the way, and I'm glad he was asked to be part of it.

6. He slamed dunk it on the issue of Federal

charges - anytime you have excessive force that is a violation of civil rights.

7. This is just one battle in a long war

The haters are very persistent.

[FarPoint]

11. The haters are not going to lie down or take a beating...

They will fight dirty with every punch.

9. The last Straw

We're terminal cases, we keep taking medicine pretending the end isn't quite that near...

[malaise]

10. We go all over the world speaking about freedom and democracy

at least that's what we say

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Tell them young King. The truth is oh so clear!!

[truedelphi]

14. Scott Olsen, seriously wounded while attending an Occupy Protest in Oakland,

Is proof of what you' re explaining.

He had done one or more tours of Iraq, and then shortly after resuming his life as a citizen here, a police tear gas cannister almost killed him.

[malaise]

15. Indeed

and we know it's do as we say not as we do.

[csziggy]

12. Asks for money for the family - from the preachers FIRST!
