I'm liking Rev. Al's show more and more -

[MerryBlooms]

I was disappointed when we lost Cenk, but thankfully, he still has a loyal following through TYT.

I noticed this weekend, CNN had a more demographic honest line-up during Don Lemon's slot, which I think is a small step forward. (love Don Lemon - swoon)

1. Me too!

He takes the repukes to task.

[MerryBlooms]

3. Yes! And, I love the fact he's ok with calling out his own mistakes -

I have heard some say he's not polished and all that rot, but I think his raw honesty is refreshing.

2. What I like is how he intrrupts right wingers repeating their talking points

One guy complained a little today and Sharpton just said he was "correcting as we go".

I know all about Sharpton's past and problems. But right now I cheer when he stops right wingers in their verbal tracks. He rarely slips up and allows something to get past him.

[MerryBlooms]

4. Those without their mistakes, cast the first stone -

Is that close to the saying?

He comes full on ready to fight back, he's sincere, and it's obvious he still has the fire in the belly. I think he's an asset to the left in these troubled times.

6. And he does it with humor nt

[flamingdem]

5. He's becoming my fave along with Rachel

Two original non-white males!

[MerryBlooms]

7. It's exciting to see some diversity and more realistic representation. n/t

[Bluebear]

8. You said it!

[Firebrand Gary]

11. Rachel is number 1, Matthews 2, and Sharpton is 3

I really like what Sharpton is bringing to the table.

[MerryBlooms]

17. I'm a huge Maddow (and her superior staff) fan

Not so much Matthews - he tends to over-talk his guests too much for my liking.

9. I like that Sharpton goes directly at Limbaugh....

Limbaugh does NOT like that. ;)

[BumRushDaShow]

13. !!!!

Took him right down this evening too!!! Dared him to keep talking about him so he'll get more ratings!!! :rofl:

[MerryBlooms]

16. Rev. Al was firing on all cylinders tonight. n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. He calls him Lumpbod or Lumbar

But he doesn't pronounce it clearly enough to appear to be intentional. I have to laugh every time.

[Firebrand Gary]

10. Hey, I gotta agree with ya'll, at first I was not sure. But I love how he goes toe to toe.

He has real character and steps up to the plate. Good call MSNBC

[jwhitesj]

12. I didn't think I would like it

But he's actually pretty good..

[Zax2me]

14. It is good TV

I was hesitant at first but the show is great. He knows his stuff.

[MoonRiver]

15. Same here!

He's funny but absolutely fearless when standing up to the Thugs and PTB.

[sfpcjock]

18. Me 3

He often makes mincemeat out of the wingnuts who dare to appear in a rather strong and civil way. Quite admirable. I haven't seen some of this since Jerry Springer on Air America seven or so years ago.

[jwirr]

19. My blood pressure does not allow to listen to all those idiot guest

he and Tweety have. I want to throw things at my tv. Can't afford that.

[ChiciB1]

20. Like His Fire & Message, But Simply CAN NOT Stand His Voice...

I realize I may be missing stuff, but I really, really have tried to listen quite a few times. His voice is just too grating or something. AND the talk-overs grate on me too.

Not sure what it is and I'm truly sorry, but I can't do it. He may be wonderful, but I have tried a LOT! Guess I need forgiveness.

[hifiguy]

22. The rhythm of his speech (cadence, pauses) is very difficult for me

to listen to. But on substance he is doing very well indeed.

[SpartanDem]

21. He's no pushover

the Pat Buchanan smack down was a classic
