this is really too silly. I dont agree with the man but dont think these are the words of a lunatic. I think he expresses a resident theme with many black people , that they are entitled to favorable treatment because of past inequities. Im sure hillary feels the same way about womens rights, title ix, and the like.
I am also sure that there are other americans that will echo his sentiment that the United States have supported uprisings and rebels in foreign countries in the past, so why should we surprised that something happens on american soil. I certainly didnt agree with most of what Jesse jackson said or did either but that doesnt mean we cant support the same political candidate. having said that perhaps Spitzer should run for the presidency as an independent. He might surprise given the other candidates credentials and it would be unlikely that he would be prosecuted under the circumstances.

Yet, Bush has done a lousy job for 7+ years and he campaigned saying he was studying The Book of Acts. Still, with all that study and expert guidance, he didn't know that the Apostles had formed a commune in Jerusalem. Imperceptive for a subject you are studying with a bunch of tutors helping you.
