#1 Bullshit. Like everything else the Department of Education has spewed forth since its creation this is complete and utter bullshit.

I couldn't agree more

#2 Some EXCELLENT Tea Party/Rantburger Music Entertainment. A touch of the Latin American style.

#3 Education Department spokeswoman Sandra Abrevaya defended Duncan's decision. "This was a back-to-school event," she said.

If that's the case, why did Sharpton say Beck was trying to hijack civil rights. Translated: Civil rights is my thing, don't mess with my thing.

#4 Can we say Hatch Act. Not that AG Holder has any interests of upholding standing law. However, you can kill the appointee's time with long periods before Congressional committees after January on this line alone.

#5 "[Conservatives] think we showed up [to vote for Barack Obama] in 2008 and that we won't show up again. But we know how to sucker-punch, and we're coming out again in 2010," Sharpton said

Sucker punch as in race baiting, vote fraud, extortion, union payoffsyou know that sort of thing.

#6 "Sucker punching" is what the MSM does, and about all it does. Now & then they report.

#7 That singer has some talent. Very easy on the ears and the eyes.

#8 Yes eltoroverde, not to steal the thunder from Fred's "Good Morning" beauties, but the singer in the above "Obamanation" song is like many of our conservative ladies, beautiful, talented, smarter than the Department of Education(?) and passionate. So here is one more plug for young people like her. Over 6 million hits on this video but Liberal Hollywood has never given her a break. Bottom line, support our wonderful conservative young people.

#9 Separation of church and state!! Separation of church and state!!

(Oh, wait a minute, he's on our side. Ok, it's just fine that a government lackey ordered his employees to attend a rally sponsored by a religious type. No problem! Nothing to see, move along now....)

#10 I wondered why there were so many people at Sharpton's rally.

#11 No Hatch violation because the Sharpton event was 'non partisan'.

However, Duncan is a naive leftist. Sharpton has made more rascist statements himself than any 100,000 random tea party members.

#12 Sharp-tongue looked like a fool last night on The O'Reilly Factor. Bill almost said, Sharpie, you're full of crap.
