“Mr., Sanders first
at act after his 22-point victory in predominantly white New Hampshire was to
travel to Harlem in New York and have breakfast with high-profile civil-rights
leader Rev. Al Sharpton.”
Wall Street Journal, February 11, 2016
Shame on the Wall Street Journal. Whatever the many attributes that could be
attached to Al Sharpton, a “civil rights leader” is not one of them. The “Rev.”
is fake as well. Yes, these are how the
sycophant Democrats who suck up to this race hustler like to present him, but no
respectable newspaper should append those descriptors to Sharpton without the
use of quotation marks. They would not
need quotation marks for: huckster, fraud, slanderer and stool pigeon.
But to the
point. The appeal of Bernie Sanders,
particularly to the young people who seem to be among his greatest enthusiasts, is that of an “idealist”, a man of ethics and principle who remains in word
and deed consistent with his political ideology, which until recently has been
opined to be on the far left regions of American politics.
And, after
pulverizing the widely perceived “inauthentic”, “say anything to get elected”
Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire early this week, Mr. Senator Sincere, Bernie
Sanders’ first stop is with the “Reverend” Sharpton, someone who, generously
speaking, might be said to embody the antithesis of idealism. That Sharpton, a
sleazy, riot-fomenting opportunist, can now play a role of “king-maker” (sorry
Hillary) for the Democrats is as sorry a commentary as can be imagined in
contemporary American politics. Sharpton,
who should be shunned by any decent person, is warmly embraced by the Democrat
establishment, including the President. That
the Jewish Sanders is eager to pow wow with this crude, race baiter with his
own anti-Semitic history suggests that Sanders’ ethics and much vaunted
integrity are not so different from any other Democrat who bends the knee and
slobbers on Sharpton’s ring.
Hillary is
floundering. She has become the Leonid
Brezhnev of the Democrat party – an embalmed stiff, serially corrupt, stolid,
robotic and boring, offering no coherent or compelling reason why she should be
in charge. All she lacks is a General's jacket with 40 pounds of fake medals. Like Brezhnev, what does she
believe other than she should be the one to boss other people around and live
like a pasha while everyone else sucks eggs? No one over 45 is interested in
her, and for good reason. Her husband, no doubt, would like to be back,
slouching around in the White House with access to more young interns, but
again, what do the Clintons offer but more scandals and sordid dramas?
Bernie needs black
votes in the upcoming southern primaries in order to push Hillary off the
island, and unfortunately for him Hillary has a longer history and more “know
how” in racial pandering. She has just been christened by the Congressional
Black Caucus. They have worked with
Hillary over the years and know her well, as was mentioned on CNN in non-stop
repetition of this completely predictable, sorry moment of Beltway collusion. The Congressional Black Caucus endorsing
Hillary is very reassuring – a bit like Al Capone vouching for Meyer
Lansky.
So
then, what did Bernie and Al talk about? Bernie needs Al, but Al doesn’t need
Bernie. Which is why Bernie is coming to
Harlem seeking some sort of benediction from this Pontiff of racial resentment. Who would not want to be a fly on the wall
for this conversation, but for Sharpton to bless Bernie, he (Bernie) is going
to have “out-Hillary” in smearing Republicans in their contempt for Black
Americans. Not that he won’t make a serious effort but this will be a tall order. Recently Hillary, playing demagogue during
the recent Flint water crisis fumed that: “The governor of that state (Rick
Snyder, a Republican) acted as though he didn’t really care.”

Why, one might ask, does Rick Snyder not care while Hillary does? Fortunately for Hillary, Synder is a
Republican or the smear would be a bit more complicated for her. One does not have to be remotely cynical or
blindly partisan to find this revolting. We know how Clinton will pander to the Black
voters. Since she will say or do anything to win, it will be intriguing in the
next few weeks to see how a man of integrity operates.
