Reply #44: my bandwagon? [View All]

actually, this is the first thread I've ever made about Tawana Brawley (possibly even the first post), and the first thread that could actually be described as anti-Sharpton. Simply asking if anyone thought Sharpton could carry anything other than DC isn't bashing him, just pointing out a simple fact: he's the most unelectable candidate. My most bashed candidate is easily Lieberman, but of course everyone laughs at the anti-Semetism allegations there. I'm replying to others who have been bashed for bringing up Tawana Brawley and got the racist accusations.

Please show more threads that prove that I have a huge anti-Sharpton agenda and bring up Tawana Brawley at every opportunity. I do not, mainly because he has no chance at the nomination. However because of it (and other things, like his anti-Semetic comments and endorsement of D'Amato), I do not like or trust the guy.

I've never heard of those other incidents, and I imagine they too might be awful. However they also don't involve someone running for president.

I guess the question I posed in the original post stands her: do you believe "I don't like Sharpton because of Tawana Brawley" is a valid viewpoint? Or do you think every single person who dislikes him is automatically racist, and if so, how is that any less riduculous than claiming all Lieberman bashers are anti-Semetic? And I have bashed Lieberman FAR more than Sharpton, in fact I've probably bashed Kerry, who I've considered for supporting for the nomination before, more than Sharpton.
