1. Is that what the script said or what he said? n/t

[emulatorloo]

2. It is the script, not what he said. . .n/t

[qanda]

4. Definitely *not* what he said

I think he added in the response to Bush's questions.

6. Okay that was awesome-close to Jesse's speech in '92-sorry '92 not '02

but no one can beat THAT speech. Excellent-well done Al.

7. Thanks for posting that...

.... I wish I would have seen it but reading it was good...

[a kennedy]

9. I wish you could have seen it too....

Boy oh boy can he get the blood pumping....he's just the best rabble rouser. I kinda felt bad for Bob Graham having to come on after him.....they should have left Big Al to be the closing speaker. He did just an outstanding job. One little boo boo though....he didn't get Barak Obama's name right, (and I hope I just spelled it correctly). Outside of that, he was just the best igniter!!!

10. Maybe...

... it will pop up somewhere on the net in video form. You're making me feel worse :)

12. Welcome to DU!

Glad to have ya!

:hi:

[Kipepeo]

15. That's not what he said entirely

Hopefully the video will be up on cspan soon: http://www.cspan.org/

It was so much better than the script!

8. only about 1/3 of it !

really glad he went over and ad libbed it. he ruled this night! can't wait for Edwards!

[AwakeAtLast]

11. I was watching it on PBS, and

the "political consultants" said that the script was bland, but his ad-libbing was much more exciting. I loved that he could think and speak at the same time. Let's see * do that at the RNC!

14. Welcome to DU!

Glad you are here!

13. F**** sharpton he's a traitor just like Nader the traitor

n/t

[Kipepeo]

16. please

can't you poo poo on my parade later? Did you even hear the speech? He hit Bush harder than any speaker yet. How can you not be pleased by that, even a little?

My opinion: best_speech_yet

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. It was was the only speech I caught thus far, but I am glad

that I did if you think it was the best. (Gotta find some video of my man Dennis online doing his!)

[Kipepeo]

20. Did I miss Dennis?!?

Cspan is good at archiving everything though, so it should be there at some point.

[Serenades]

18. Sharpton

Calls it as he sees it. He does not have blind loyalty to the party like you and Republicans do. If Democrats are full of crap he will say it. If republicans are full of crap he will say it. I have nothing against that.

[69KV]

23. no

Traitors don't give rousing speeches at the Democratic Convention throwing wholehearted support behind Kerry.

Please save the traitor label for people like Zell Miller.

[Tight_rope]

19. Thanks...This a a true keeper!

[TahitiNut]

22. While that "transcript" (it's not) is a nice speech, It's almost nothing

... of what Sharpton said. Al's speech was far, far better as a response from black Democrats to DimSon's BS in front of the Urban League. Al had the Convention in its feet and stomping approval. It was vintage Al Sharpton - truly an "in your face" speech. It slam-dunked Chimpy McFascist's hypocrisy.

CBS Market(whore) would be embarrassed if it had an ounce of integrity. That might be a pre-release of scripted remarks (who can tell?) bu bears almost no resemblance to Al's excellent polemic.
