"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 of us who
believe in God' will defeat Republican Mitt Romney for the White House."
Is the president of black people and the king of tolerance demeaning someones religion? I think this is a clear example that Sharpton will say and do whatever it takes to gain power and attention for himself. If that means assisting the black community like in the case of Imus, so bet it. However if he has to attack a fellow believer, then that is what he will do. He later said that he wasn't questioning Romney's faith in god, but that isn't what he expressed by claiming that anyone who believed in god, would not vote for Romney.
Romney had this to say about the comment made by Sharpton.
"It is terribly disheartening and disappointing to hear Reverend Sharpton
offer such appalling comments about a fellow American's faith," said Romney
spokesman Kevin Madden. "America is a nation of many faiths and common values,
and bigotry toward anyone because of their beliefs is unacceptable."
If we are to take tolerance seriously, and we are to take Sharpton to be a serious voice for tolerance, it can't be exclusive tolerance of black people, but all people.

The ABC news made my friends on EbonyFriends.com and I surprised. AL Sharpton is a hateful man.
