AJXterra Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 After all the hooplah over Imus a few weeks back; here possibly comes another sad example of hatred in the US.BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- The Rev. Al Sharpton, who recently urged that radio host Don Imus be fired for making a racially insensitive remark, said in a debate that "those who really believe in God will defeat" Republican Mitt Romney for the White House.http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/09/rom...n.ap/index.htmlHighlights: "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation." I'm just on the front end of this and everyone should read up on it for themselves... But it does seem rediculous that one day he can call for someone to lose their job and the next do something similar to a political 'opponent'.

ricco67 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm not really a fan of his, but he THINKS he's doing good work. My major problem with him is that he's just not very consistent on his views. Then again, there are people on here who I feel the same thing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I dislike him, I think he is quite intelligent, he's just ignorant and inconsistent on facts that he talks about. He just selects facts that reflect his personal views and ignores others that don't. sorta' like some people on this system. Glen Beck with be all over this. LOL. I believe he is mormon also. Beck is supposed to have him on his show sometime in the near future, but I don't know when. He was all over him on monday or tuesday if I remember correctly. Drudge report has an interesting audio clip on what he actually says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I totally agree, however, once people starts paying attention to him, he should be taken seriously. There have been people throughout history that shouldn't have been taken seriously, but were eventually granted status because he was ignored. People have to take on stupidity, ignorance, and racism no matter what form it takes and to shout it down. If we don't, it will spiral out of control before we realize it.

X aspires to be like Sharpton. Quite frankly, I think the world would be better off if these two were never born. (yes, I said it, it's on print. so there!)

TJones Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 You're right. I should have said "pays attention to this man" instead of "takes this man seriously."Al Sharpton is Seriously an Idiot. Always sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. His Karma will eventually catch up with him, and he will fall so far, that Beelzebub will have to name a new part of Hell for him.Whenever Al gets involved in a case and it is revealed that there is no merit to the case, he will make stuff up just to get his followers lathered up. He even has the black population scratching their heads wondering how in the world did Al Sharpton become a voice for their community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Mr Quannel and his other copy cats aspire for fame and $. Its no secret that they are dying to one day have statues, airport terminals and films to be made about them. Plant the seed now reap the benfits later. In fact odd as we discuss; Quannel is being interviewed on TV I think tonight? He supposedly lives a life of luxury the station stated. He will be questioned as to where all that mula comes from to pay for the lavish life style. How many armed guards do you think will be behind the screen?It just makes me wonder how can a person that claims to be a reverend or Man of God constantly urges children to hate the white devils that put them & thier families where they are? Talk about about vicious cycle. Not exagerrating either he is on film footage urging the kids to not trust the establishment of white pigs in authority. Pure hate. Again, just quoting.

ricco67 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Well, turns out his parents were both associated with the Nation of Islam and in his youth was busted for drugs. He saw the light and followed his parent's path (they were divorced and mom moved to Houston). He was kicked out of the NOI because of his public incitement ("If you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks.

Vertigo58 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Agreed on both... Quannel is quite photogenic. He seems trained well in reading and rehearsing in front of the mirror. His sudden shift into the character is as fast as lightning. Method acting is the term. For a young dude he must have real high blood pressure. I would be careful healthwise that is. He says he learned from the best. He had a real hard time keeping the swearing under his lip. Like a volcanoe about to blow. Poor guy. All this time he gave the impression he was a local Texan but he is from glamorous South Central LA. I'm shattered! Wonder if KHOU 11's ratings hit the roof last night from his famous interview?

I got $5 that says Sharpton leaves within 10 minutes of the interview. LOL!Channell 11 was smart and kept Quannel for last, I was able to watch the Dolcefino piece about failing teachers.

Vertigo58 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 In all seriousness, the mind does wonder. They said Quannell dealt dope but they did not elaborate on what it was. Was it weed/grass? nose candy? I would love to ask him point blank what he used to sell. Wouldn't it be bizarre if you were at a red light and he comes up real quick trying to make a deal? I bet he used to push some hard sh...t. He must have been pretty good at it. Something got that anger going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the one that had pool tables? It fizzled out pretty quick but was quite the rage for its day. We used to always see him partying/playing at Party on the Plaza in its hey day. he's gotten quite rotund lately must be all that fast food that roving reports eat while their out busting chops. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quanell got busted for pot, then not too long after that his brother was killed in a drug deal gone bad, and THAT is supposedly what changed his life. BTW, you guys and your club "memories" are horrible, The place with the pool tables was called The Ballroom and it was around for about 5 years, I wouldn't call that "fizzling out quick" here in Houston, and they didn't have live bands. Live Bait was on Richmond and IT is now an ALL NUDE strip club, next to some condos. The only Bar that KINDA faced Greenbriar would have been 8.0s.
