Good. That means I haven't done the things of which I accuse Sharpton. I'm not using his tactics.

What I said was, you are selectively using that which supports your negative view.

I'm using the truth. Sharpton is an opportunist, and he doesn't care about the fall out from his words and actions.

Likewise, you are diverting the issue of this particular case by bringing in things which are not related in any way to the case being reported at this particular time, which effectively takes attention away from this case in order to minimize the wrong that has been committed. You, in your responses, have made Al Sharpton and race the focus, which indicates that you are playing into the tactics that you accuse him of attemting to use.

Not me. I'm only responding to this thread's specific topic, and to your original post ("Following in the footsteps of numerous other protesters who have had the courage to stand up against civil rights violations") that made it sound like Sharpton was someone worthy of praise. You elevated him, and I exposed him. That's fair.
