Thought for sure there'd be an amusing exchange in the wake of Al Sharpton's announcing his candidacy for US Presidency.

When nothing appeared here, I thought that maybe I'd dreamed his announcement, so I hit Google and came up with the ususal news sources, but also this site, which makes some of the most conservative cellar-dwellars look like commie-pinko fags.

I wonder how much of this dreck would be dragged out into the light of day if the Sharpton run gets any real notice? Perhaps the only good that can come out of his efforts is for normal, mainstream folks to realize that crap like this masquerades as intelligent discourse (on a board that has about 30 times the membership and usership of this one) all over the United States. Could some of these neanderthals be my co-workers? Neighbors? Friends?

Sheesh, I feel so naive. And a little depressed.
