Ok I just relistened to obama,clinton,and sharpton
I have to say they were all amazing beautiful and well delivered but Sharptons Speech was the one the touched me the most!
Screw the retarded pundits Al made me cry!!!
I was thinking earlier today what I would say to Al Sharpton if i ever met him .And not one word ever came close to explaining how i felt But one mans name popped into my head. It was Martin Luther King I would submit to anyone that if MLK was Alive today He would be proud Of Al Sharptons speech..I believe this I believe this without reservation..
Thanks Al.

1. I always Liked Al Sharpton
But after that speech I have a new found respect for him that I didn't think was possible.

2. I appreciate your enthusiasm
But I must disagree with any comparison of Al Sharpton to Martin Luther King Jr. I don't mean to offend, I simply disagree.

I think it's great to be moved, though, and some things move people more than others. As long as we're all being moved together to achieve the same end, then I'm happy!

4. No one will ever equal Dr. King.. I just meant
Dr King would have condoned Als speech..that was my point.
Hey the dems are accused of being anti religon..Sharpton turned the convention into a revival..

3. I loved Al and Obama. I also thought of MLK immediately...
What courage. What fortitude against all odds. They spoke the truth each in their own way and I was ON MY FEET, BABY!!

Al woke me up and shook my soul. He made me cry also. We needed each speaker (except maybe Joe :eyes:). Each one addressed a different segament of our beautiful party. Al touched me the most.

Because he spoke the TRUTH..it really rattled a lot of people. That just tickles me to no end.

I also see that a "Star is Born"in B. Obama. What a strong and wonderful man he is too. He has a future for sure and I can't wait.

GOD BLESS AL.

6. One of the many things I liked about Sharpton's speech
is the homage he paid to Fannie Lou Hammer. I wish someone would ask Oprah to produce a movie about this remarkable woman.

I also liked how Sharpton gave credit to Schwerner, Goodwin, and Cheney. Far more blacks lost their lives getting their votes than whites, but Sharpton gave credit to both races.
