Nathan Newman has a good post titled In Defense of Al Sharpton.

Several facts about Al Sharpton:

• I saw him get arrested at one of the demonstrations for Amadou Diallo.


• He is the only presidential candidate I have ever seen at an AIDS demonstration, marching with sundry queens, ACT UPers, and other activists.


• He is the only (Democratic) presidential candidate who is not in favor of the death penalty.
