The flack between Sharpton and Obama is nothing more than that – flack. Kos posted earlier about Sharpton’s criticism of Obama and I have to agree. Obama is out talking about his anti-war stance, so why did he support Joe Lieberman? Lieberman has been out blasting Democrats for trying to stop the war and even voted with Republicans in the Senate to filibuster last month’s legislation. In other words Sharpton is brining up an extremely valid point.

So why do we have the media placing such attention on this? McCain and Guiliani disagree on issues and it doesn’t garner this amount of attention. Same thing can go with any two candidates – they have different views. If every one agreed on everything then we would not need primaries.

Now we have the media showing their racism. We have two African-American candidates who disagree on an issue, and it is the hot story. So what? Aren’t African-American’s allowed to disagree with other African-Americans? White people disagree with each other all the time, but the media is in shock because Sharpton and Obama aren’t in lockstep? I don’t know how we will ever get an African-American President in this country if our own media has such a race bias.
