Ask Rev: Sharpton answers viewer questions on GOP, weight loss, scandals, and perseverance

Reblogged from MSNBC:

On Wednesday's show Rev. Sharpton debuted a new segment, Ask Rev, in which he answers questions from viewers.

James asks:

Rev's response:

"It's not how they act, it's how the opposition acts. It's how those of us who don't want to see the right-wing back in charge -- if we don't vote, if we don't mobilize, they will regain, not because they beat us, but because we didn't fight."

I wonder who caused the storms before Barack was elected in January, 2009. George W. Bush perhaps?

 

"Can The President Create A 'Culture'?": What Matters Isn't About Culture, It's People And Politics
