REV. AL TO HERMAN CAIN: JON STEWART IS A COMEDIAN. YOUR POLIICES ARE A JOKE.

THE ED SHOW, MSNBC, June 28, 2011--Jon Stewart's ongoing debate with Fox News since his interview with Chris Wallace now has another layer: Herman Cain. On Wednesday night's "Ed Show," Reverend Al Sharpton made clear how he feels about the GOP Presidential hopeful getting involved.

Cain, a frequent Fox News contributor, became personally involved in the feud after he took issue with an impression Stewart did on "The Daily Show" earlier this month, both at a public appearance and during several interviews on Fox. He argued that the impression was racially insensitive.

In the segment below Sharpton defends Stewart's comedy and says that although he takes pride in Cain becoming a successful man, his ideas are simply "not good for America."

Citing Cain's recent statements about minimum wage and past comments about Obama not being American and not allowing Muslims on a cabinet, Sharpton bluntly told him what he thought of his policies:

"I don't like your policies. I'm as black as you. I'm not mocking you. I'm saying what you're saying is wrong. Jon Stewart is a comedian. Your policies are a joke."

My family since my grandfathers father have always been Republicans, because Abraham Lincoln Freed the slaves.

All my life I have met, dined and worked with the Herman Cains of America---he is doing the best he can---

All my life I have met, dined and worked with the Reverend Al Sharptons of America---he is doing the best he can-----

They are both a joke

Al Sharpton is always on point, knows how to argue, and ain't afraid to tell it like it is!!!

That's right, Siebra.

And he's been a breath of fresh air sitting in on THE ED SHOW.

The more "I" see of Herman Cain the more he gets on my last nerve as my grandfather's name was Herman while this Herman I am so glad he does not want to be classified as African-American. (smile)

And, another thing I am glad for is every rock is turned by one's opponent while running for a national political office in D.C.to find someting negative or a little white lie told...there is no way this man's mentality could have started a chain OF PIZZA eatery...NO WAY HE COULD HAVE EVEN ACCIDENTLY AS ONE NEEDS LOTS OF MONEY BACKING A VENTURE LIKE THIS...AND ALL WILL COME OUT IN THE WASH...

REMEMBER NEWT ??? EVEN THE CLINTONS AND THE MCCAINS HAD TO COME CLEAN IN A FEW THINGS THEY WANTED TO BE KEPT HIDDEN FROM TEH PUBLIC.. CAIN ONLY HAS FOX TO WATCH HIS BACK AND RIGHT NOW IT SEEN FOX IS TURNING ON PALIN BECAUSE SHE FOOLED THEM ON SHE WOULD BE RUNNING...OH WELL...(SMILE)

tHANKS SO MUCH brother Cow for this posting....and, I can kick myself for forgetting whose program on Fox Cain will be on and when he will be on it!!!!

But, I will channel surf to not miss him...CNN's In The Arena put a hurting on Cain in taht interview. Cain said some restrictions must not be made by this administration and could not come up with one retriction he was talking about...and could not back up or give any good reason for having any plans he is running when asked to explain the purpose of his proposals on them on just one of these, because he had no idea of specific to what he was talking about?????? And Rich the reasons he gave fo rnot having any idea what it was he was takling about he said if he could come back again he would have found out how to answer to why he was making all of these proposals he is running on...

Rich, this is going way, way beyond brain dead!!!!!!!!!!! and, Palin has not been this bad, I don't believe at least she can put blame on osmeone not just admit she has no idea what she is saying eventhough she had just said it.lol (smile)
