Rangel vs. Sharpton
Politico ^ | ALEX ISENSTADT

Posted on 05/23/2014 9:51:43 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

For decades, they’ve battled for supremacy atop Harlem’s political order: Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, the polished committee chairman and power broker, and the Rev. Al Sharpton, the tracksuit-clad bomb-throwing civil rights leader.

Now Sharpton, looking svelte and dapper on his daily MSNBC show, may have his chance to finally take out Rangel — at age 83 and in the toughest, almost certainly final, reelection fight of his 43-year congressional career.

If Rangel is polished, would scuffed fall two or three levels down among Dante's tiers?

Eventually African Americans will realize that they have been badly led. Leaders like Sharpton and Jackson, organizations like the NAACP, have been bought and paid by Left wing ideologues to propagandize. Young minorities are beginning to question why liberals situate abortion clinics in their neighborhoods and force minority kids into urban union controlled horrible schools, while liberals “choose” good private schools for themselves. They will eventually hold Jackson, Sharpton, the liberals and their ilk accountable.

Because they're both black supremacists.

I wouldn’t bet on it.

The Democrats have carefully devised their lies over the years to prey on the weak minds of the poorly educated.

They have also worked very hard to ensure that the minorities are poorly educated.

The Democrats strategy of poor education and stoking the fires of race hatred in the Black community has built a nearly impregnable wall against the truth of how their leaders are milking them for ill gotten wealth.

And for the coup de grâce the Democrap ensure that any Black that dares to step outside of the acceptable Liberal doctrine of hatred will be ostracized by the community.

Pontiac:" Which is which? "

Does it make a difference ?
One is called "honorable"
The other is called "Reverend"
Neither is entitled, according to their actions !!

Rev. Manning says that Sharpton has ‘the Slims’.
