Krauthammer: “Trump is the GOP’s Al Sharpton”

I would not insult Trump by referring to him as Al Sharpton. However, I am starting to wonder if Trump is doing all these interviews and dropping all these hints because he just loves the publicity. If Trump can wound Obama – then spot on! Last night I saw a poll of probable voters where Obama beats Trump 49 – 34%. The record of businessmen who become politicians because they think you can run a government like you do a business is not very good – see Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

It turns out that George Will isn’t the only conservative who isn’t impressed with the Donald’s effort to pump himself up for the White House.

On last weekend’s broadcast of the syndicated weekend public affairs program “Inside Washington,” columnist Charles Krauthammer called Donald Trump the “Al Sharpton” of the GOP presidential primary contest and he elaborated on that claim, in addition to analyzing some of the field on Monday night’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel.

“Well, of the sound bites you showed, Haley Barbour looked — he was the only calm and collected one of the other three,” Krauthammer said. “I think he is the only serious one with a serious chance of winning in 2012. I think Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann in a sense are competing for the same constituency. They are wonderful Republicans but I don’t think either of them has a chance to win the nomination. Bachmann could do well in Iowa. She is originally from Iowa. It has a heavy evangelical constituency that surprised the world the last cycle by giving Huckabee the victory, so that is possible. But it’s hard to see her way after that through the thicket.

But then he said apart from that field is Trump, who he remains unimpressed with, including his exploits into birtherism.

“Then there is Trump,” he continued. “Trump is Al Sharpton of the Republican Party – provocateur and clown, unserious. I think he’s going to harm the party if he runs for the same reason Sharpton harmed the Democrats. I can now see all the mail coming in – address it to me, not to Bret. He is not responsibility — which means in the debate he will be up there I think he will run, not just a trial run. He’ll be up in the debate, and like Sharpton he will monopolize discussion and draw it away on issues that are irrelevant like Obama’s birth and that can only hurt the party.”

And Krauthammer added that Trump has a “vulgar” view on what reigns supreme in such a contest.

“It’s all name recognition,” Krauthammer said. “And he’s is a celebrity, on television and a guy who talks about winners and losers. The vulgarity of it is offensive. He talked today about comparing himself with Mitt Romney. ‘I have a bigger net worth.’ That’s what you expect from, somebody who wants to promote himself in business and make a name. That is not what you want from a presidential candidate.”

Obama reaches out to Al Sharpton for 2012

Imagine if a Republican reached out to a Neo-Nazi (according to the Sage of Culver City this has happened) or a Klan leader for his re-election? For one it wouldn’t happen since the KKK was an arm of the Democratic Party. If it did, they would be rightly crucified. Well, Barack Hussein Obama is meeting with race hustler and anti-Semite, AL Sharpton. They will discuss the 2012 elections and how to whip up racial resentment to get a high Black turnout.

President Obama is making his second visit to the city in as many weeks – and is calling upon an unlikely ally to shore up the support of his political base.

Obama will be speaking Wednesday for the first time as commander in chief at the annual convention of the National Action Network and standing with its founder, the Rev. Al Sharpton – whom the President largely ignored before his 2008 election.

[…]

“It proves again that 2012 will be very different than 2008,” said Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia. “Then, Obama was very wary of the race issue and of being labeled as a ‘black candidate.'”

“But some of the enthusiasm surrounding that election has faded,” said Sabato. “He needs an injection of energy and Sharpton can provide some of that, at least in the black community.”

No outcry from the media over this disgraceful meeting. AL Sharpton should be a pariah in this society. Instead he has the privileged of meeting with the President of the US. This shows Obama will use the race card in 2012. This is an act of political cowardnice and it shows that Progressives will do anything to win.

RS McCain smacks down Sharpton and the Jazz Man

Robert Stacy McCain never bites his tongue for no one. He has a piece at his blog, where he gives Black National Socialist, Al Sharpton a good beat down.

Joyce White arrived at a what she called a counter-march to Fox News host Glenn Beck’s rally. She came to remember the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech but also to show her opposition to Beck.
“If we hadn’t elected a black president, do you think they would be doing this today?” she asked. . . .
The bleachers [at the Dunbar High football field] still weren’t filled 10 minutes before the “Reclaim the Dream” rally organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton was scheduled to start. . . .
Bianca Farmer, a senior at Dunbar High School, received big applause when she told the crowd not to stop at celebrating Obama. “We must be fearful of stopping there,” she said. “The fight is not in the same arena as it was 47 years ago but the fight lives on.” . . .
Representatives are here from various District political campaigns, labor unions and churches . . .
The Rev. Al Sharpton said in an interview before he spoke to thousands at his rally in Northwest Washington that “people are clear in what Dr. King’s dream was about and we will not react to those who try to distort that dream.”

RS McCain then gives the Tranzi Totalitarian Progressive IslamiC-Imperialist Collaborator a good smackdown.

The husky ponytailed blogger can’t stand it:

Explaining the specific causes of Charles Johnson’s failure as a writer — his inability to compose persuasive rhetoric, etc. — would be a simple task, but why bother with analysis? Just enjoy the laughs.
