I was living in NYC at the time of sharpton- brawley and no one to my knowledge, even amongst new york liberals ,would have considered sharpton to be a moderate at that time. He acted more like an extortionist and to compare him to mlk in any way shape or form is not appropriate. in fact I would have considered Sharpton more radical than what I have seen of Malcolm X. At least Malcolm X had some sort of framework to couch his ideas in. Sharpton was and is a rabblerouser, who would threaten a riot if he didnt get what he wanted.

BTW interestingly there was pretty damaging video of Obama promising to preserve Space Shuttle jobs on a campaign visit to florida before his electon. its contained in a piece on 60 minutes on thousands of jobs lost in Florida after the space shuttle program closed down with no other program to fill the void. very sad on many different levels.
