sharpton is by far the least offensive black leader, he gets only bad press coverage (i've seen him on meet the press twice in the last few months both time Tim Russert [supposedly a liberal] did a hatchet job on him and in the next segment played softball w/ a GºP official). probably most of what is known about him by readers of this board comes from listening to rush limbaugh. i consider sharpton the best major party 2004 pez candidate so far (not that i would vote for him)
