As long as people realize Al Sharpton is a Racist,oppertunist, and businessman. He will twist facts, lie and cheat to serve himself at the expense of everyone.
However, his words do resonate and could bring more people to understand a bit about OWS.
Believe me, Al doesn't care. Not about you, me, the workers, or this country, .. and he is very very rich......but even a stopped watch is right twice a day.

Sharpton is nothing but an opportunist who is seeing another venue for him to stand on his soap box and say something stupid.
This is a man who looked even more intelligent when he was marching the streets in his purple jumpsuits and gold chains than he does now in his expensive suits and leather shoes.

Speaking up for his people in how they have the highest unemployment and incarceration rates and the lowest levels of incomes isn't racist. It's merely stating that statistically something is wrong.

Yes but Al takes it further Blaming an entire reace for all the problems he mentions.... he does much much more than "state statistically" that things are wrong.
To me race is like haircolor. It has nothing to do with the person underneath.
To Al, it's his soapbox, and his life.
Ask yourself what would Al Sharpton do if tomorrow racism ceased to exist?
He would be out of a career, and become obsolete.
He will not allow that to happen.
The man NEEDS a division of races to stay rich.

Attention whores and celebrities and others are seeing an opportunity here.
The movement is beginning to look a lot like whatever key liberals, Marxists, Socialists and Communists and anyone else wants it to be.
The title should read...
Al Sharprton on Occupy wall street, he attempts to hijack the revolution
Whatever, as long as it remains fairly peaceful, and people at least try to clean up after themselves, oh, and use bathrooms... Seriously, stop relieving yourselves in the streets.

You make a good point yet my point stands that regardless his or any other persons real reeasons/intent, we all share simularities, the system is bad and needs to be addressed and he cna bring people out by the thousands.
Much of what he stands for i disagree on, but when for the first time in my life being 50 years of age and hearing him speak for as long as I can remember probably around the early 1970`s he has 2 times which has been asked in the past 3 months today being the second time, asked all americans for just right know leave our racial issues at home and work for We The People/ for americas citizens you know the 99%. You all need to try and forget his deeper original agendas and listen to what he is saying in theknow the current ssituation, whcih this ows/revolution may possible change the entire life sysytem of the globe. This could be a human movement kinda like when humans started comming out of the dark ages, there was a global movement to make it happen.edit on 15-10-2011 by lbndhr because: edit to add

In my first post, I said even a broken watch is right twice a day, and his words do resonate with alot of people.
I'm 44 years old so I also remember Al's track record.
I agree he's a recognized speaker who can get the word out.... I just think he will twist the facts to suit himself as usual.

I would like to say you was wrong but i agree and the movement risks being hijacked but i think we should meet force with force and the police have drawn first blood and out gloves should come off.
Yes i know i should hug a tree and $hit like that but history shows that revoloutions are not fought like that and god knows we need a revolution because nothing is going to happen untill we take back our freedom and that will take balls and blood but the good news is i think most people in the army are on-side so must go now, i've got to start a war with Iran so i can get them all out the way and let the pigs in the street kill as people as they like.
