I remember that moment of truth.
He will not be missed.
At least it will screw up Obama’s golf schedule.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I’ve watched him for years.
The man was evil.
I have a list of people that I want to outlive.
In Bond’s defense, he was the one who called out the DC government for their idiotic PC firing of an employee who used the word “Niggardly”
Good riddance. Julian Bond was a hateful man, and a racist to his core.
Good riddance to the dead commie.
Why is that an issue?
Why should have any respect for one of the architects of America downfall...
Whenhe called the Tea Party “The Taliban” he made it clear he was the enemy.
Good riddance.
Ray was an excellent movie. Jamie Foxx nailed it.
He’s “punchin’ chunks”, with a brand new shovel, a Matterhorn sized pile of coal, and a giant blast furnace in the shape of Karl Marx’s face.
Bond was a strong critic of the Bush administration from its assumption of office in 2001, in large part because Bond believed the administration was illegitimate. Twice that year, first in February to the NAACP board and then in July at that organization's national convention, he attacked the administration for selecting Cabinet secretaries "from the Taliban wing of American politics". Bond specifically targeted Attorney General John Ashcroft, who had opposed affirmative action, and Interior Secretary Gale Norton, who defended the Confederacy in a 1996 speech on states' rights. In the selection of these individuals, Bond said, Bush had appeased "the wretched appetites of the extreme right wing and chosen Cabinet officials whose devotion to the Confederacy is nearly canine in its uncritical affection." Then House Majority Leader Dick Armey responded to Bond's statement with a letter accusing NAACP leaders of "racial McCarthyism." Bond later added at the annual NAACP convention that year, that since Bush's election he had "had his picture taken with more black people than voted for him." On May 14, 2013, while on MSNBC, Bond called the Tea Party the "Taliban wing of American politics." Bond told MSNBC, "I think it's entirely legitimate to look at the tea party." But he also said, "It was wrong for the IRS to behave in this heavy-handed manner. They didn't explain it well before or now what they're doing and why they're doing it." He called Tea Party members "a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political, who've tried as best as they can to harm President Obama in every way they can." He added, "We all ought to be a little worried about them."I wonder if any reference will be made to how he was voted out, rather primaried, out of office by another old civil rights hand, who accused him of being a coke-head?
75 years old. I remember when there was talk of him running for president, quickly squelched because he wasn’t old enough.
just one of several race hustlers I will not miss.
Hear me Jesse? Louis? obammy?

Al $harpton is the one who most disgusts me. All that ignorance, wrapped up in one brown package.

Same for me. I wonder if he was just hiding it better way back when or if he “evolved”.
He actually got more radical with age like lewis
I felt sorry for him in the 60s
We gave them political and economic parity
They are not very appreciative
Why are most black power brokers as white as they are black
Could it possibly be because.......
In a civilized society nobody would listen to that incoherant rambler Sharpton.
