RUSH: Speaking of Obama, I\u2019ve gotta get to this. This is in the New York Post<\/a> today, it\u2019s by Fred Dicker, a truly outstanding reporter: ‘Jealous Reverend Al Blasts Barack — Al Sharpton has launched a ‘big-time\u2019 effort to tear down Illinois Sen. Barack Obama as a candidate for president, The Post has learned. ‘He\u2019s saying that Obama never did anything for the community.” That\u2019s like saying Obama is not down for the struggle. ‘He never worked with anybody from the community,\u2019 not down for the struggle, ‘that nobody knows the people around him,\u2019 not down for the struggle, ‘that he\u2019s a candidate driven by white leadership.\u2019 This is from a prominent black Democratic activist who knows Sharpton. ‘When it comes to Al\u2019s attacks on Obama, frankly, I don\u2019t know where to begin.\u2019 <\/p>\n

”It\u2019s driving Al crazy that Obama is as impressive and popular as he is, and he\u2019s not happy about it,\u2019 said another black Democratic activist. ‘Sharpton is just terrified of being overshadowed by someone of Obama\u2019s class and character.\u2019 Sharpton also has a personal ax to grind, a source close to him said. ‘Al had wanted to run again for president in 2008,\u2019 the source said, ‘but now that Obama is a serious candidate in the race, that has become impossible.” Why? Barack\u2019s ‘clean.\u2019 He\u2019s ‘articulate.\u2019 He\u2019s ‘good-looking,\u2019 and obviously you can only have one of those on the Democrat side. So you can\u2019t put Sharpton in? What, the Democrats can only tolerate one black candidate per presidential race? Obama beat the Reverend Sharpton to it so now the Reverend Sharpton, because Obama not down for the struggle, is being castigated and ripped. They\u2019re try to tear Barack Obama down? (Laughing.) If this is true, we\u2019ll find out soon enough, and I have no doubts if this is true — and this is just a wild guess, ladies and gentlemen, like your daily weather forecast — I happen to think that we will start hearing from activists close to the Reverend Sharpton and others in the traditional civil rights leadership again, not just in the media, but from these guys, ‘Is he really black enough? He\u2019s half white. Is he black enough? He\u2019s not down for the struggle.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
