What is the difference between Al Sharpton and obama. Al Sharpton is way more honest.

Tom, I think you mean to ask what is the difference between Sharpton and Wright, and then the difference between Sharpton and Obama.

You seem to read Wright as the real Obama and any statement by him to the contrary is deceitful.

On the latter, Sharpton and Obama, there is a very clear statement of that difference in Obama's book The Audacity of Hope. Let me recommend you take a look. That's a book written and published in the middle 90s. I'll be interested to see, once you've read it, if you can no longer see a difference between Obama and Sharpton.

As for Sharpton and Wright, I haven't given any serious thought to that comparison. They appear to be me to be quite different but I would have to think about it. Perhaps some future post.

I adore Al Sharpton. He's like a Pat Buchanan to me. Both can just cut right through the spin to the heart of something. The style might be abrasive but their truthfulness is admirable, IMO, at least.
