Matthew at Occasional Subversions shares this:

 Asked at a Human Rights Campaign forum for presidential candidates if he supported gay marriage, Rev. Al Sharpton was the only candidate not to hedge the issue:

"That's like asking me, 'Do I support black marriage or white marriage.'"

Well I have to admit, I have never really paid any attention to the Rev. Al Sharpton.  It's not that I consciously chose to dismiss him; he just was never on my radar screen one way or the other.  Never knew anything about him or heard him speak.  But the more I hear, the more he delights me.  Not in the "He's gotta be our next President" way.  [He and Kucinivich don't have a shot in hell.  Too far off the map for the majority of 'uhmurricens'.]  But in the "This guy calls 'em like he sees him -- and I like the way he sees 'em" way.

Anyway, when I find the time in the next few days, I am going to google Sharpton and learn more about him and his history.  To edify myself.
