How Do You Feel About Al Sharpton?

How do you feel about Reverend Al Sharpton. I am of an age where I was exposed to Sharpton at his very worst. Growing up in the New York metropolitan area in the 1980’s, it was pretty much impossible to ignore Sharpton’s excesses. He was in the paper and on the news constantly, and often for being a complete jackass. Of course, it all culminated with the absolutely disgraceful Tawana Brawley incident which began when I was a senior in high school.

I think Sharpton has redeemed himself, but I am sympathetic to those who are unwilling to forgive him. What do you think?
