So the end of David Paterson's candidacy requires a meeting of black and latino politicians to do exactly what ?.......And if you read Liz' story you will see Harold Ford showed up and got 'em all mad by not joining Reverand Al's 'amen corner."
And look who is sitting next to Rev. Sharpton....Rep. Charles Rangel, with his freshly minted rebuke from the House Ethics Committee.
These are camp followers....they were all greasing the skids under Governor Paterson because they care not about the state's first black governor nearly as much as their desire to be close to power and not antagonize Andrew Cuomo.
Kudos to Harold Ford for going and pointing out the hypocritical orthodoxy of New York's master of identity politics.
Tensions Flare At Sharpton Summit

Sharpton and Rangel, now there's two guys that show just how far down society has fallen. One cooks up rape stories, race baits for a living, loses lawsuits and hides behind a "church" to avoid paying. The other writes tax laws but doesn't pay them himself. Both are safe because of the double standard extended to men who use color instead of integrity to measure a person's value. Congrats to both thugs and to us, who allow this to continue. Maybe you shouldn't write about people like this, Mr Mayor. You don't write about most other criminals. Let them rot on their own.
It's not about their ideals its all about their power. Telling isn't it.
You're criticism of Reverand Sharpton is clearly racist.
If we just flushed and refused to talk about them, would they lose that power you speak of 8:00pm? Or are there that many stupid people in our world?
"You're" should read "your". Otherwise, YOUR comment is expected. That is why thugs like this can exist. There should be, and are, special protections for criminals and tax evaders who happen to be black. Especially when they say amen a lot. That is part of the act. But dishonesty come in all colors. Do you ever wonder what these guys really think when they look in the mirror? No shame at all? It is possible. So many think they are entitled. I would love to get one of these guys in a room alone and ask him if he really believes anything he actually says. It would be fun to find out. Lots of crooks are actually fun people. They're just crooks.
is there room in public office for good people? Mr G has always been straight forward and may be the exception. Not many people can take the media heat and harrassment or be able to afford it, if they are in business, after reading another blog about wind and someone say, boycott their business. Maybe thats just the way it is, color has little to do with it, there is enough corruption to go around. We have seen recently that in someof the county towns, that corruption has finally taken over the local government too. Hard to do anything about it, when there is no support for good people of ethic, moral and fairness. Who cares their color.
So, I assume most of you were at the event and thus can offer first-hand insight about what happened, other than media ginned up sound bytes?
We have to go with what is presented to us, as most of were not there. Not much else we can do, but blogs are for expressing ones opinions, some with facts and some with opinion. And you know what? Almost none of it matters does it? IN a world, community, state where most of us have no control over anything, there is not much left to do but write, or shut up. Our local news media certainly isnt much help in gettin The facts our there is it?
I side with Francis on this one. you jokers are awful jumpy. How nmany government courses has Mr Juston taken?
I don't follow where this is going.
Reverand Al and Charles Rangel are crooks. Simple. It has nothing to do with color.
You didn't have to be at the meeting to know. Both have a lengthy public record to review.
Too many times the race card is thrown, at what point is it about the issues or actions taken by these individuals. With power comes coruption, and they all had their issues with the law.
It is sad that this is the best New York can offer. Governor Paterson, indicated the unions were picking on him because he was black. Maybe it was because you were cutting their jobs and taking their raises.
This is an election year time to clean house. Lets get rid of this scum.
Poly Information
No jobs have been cut and no raises have been delayed. That's the problem. Now, with a new puppet in the Gov's chair, no jobs will be cut and no raises will continue as usual.
The only scum in this state are the special interests who control the process. And the taxpayers who are dumb enough to let it continue.
Vote Donkey.
remarkable that the race card and the ineffective Dem card are being played. and the union card. Will someone please give me an objective explanation why with half the legislature being Republican, their agenda other than stalling and obfuscating couldn't move forward?
9:59 vote Donkey, they are all donkeys or jackasses! I do agree the voters should step up and do the right thing.
