Al Sharpton The Lone Voice Of Reason In MSNBC Debate Panel That Lost All Perspective (Barf Alert)
Mediaite ^ | 10/04/2012 | by Tommy Christopher

The entire current media landscape has proven itself to be ill-equipped to handle Wednesday night’s presidential debate, with the lone exception of MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton. While every cable network tripped over themselves to declare Mitt Romney the winner, and even MSNBC’s panel made President Obama‘s poor stylistic and substantive performance The! Blaring! Headline!, it was Rev. Al who kept the focus where it belonged: on the egregious lies of Mitt Romney, pointing out that while he “gave a good testimony,” Romney “will be indicted for perjury, because he’s lying.”

I've been waiting for a transcript of all that "specificity." I certainly didn't waste any time visiting MSNBS, but I am just breathless in anticipation of the documented torrent of specificity.
Specifics, please, example, lists of actual statements or events. In writing.

Still waiting...

By the way, kudos for the admirable restraint in the use of the "F" Bomb.
