Jennifer Kerns on the merging of civil rights and Democrat party interests:

“Never satisfied to let a crisis go to waste, Al Sharpton gave a speech in Ferguson on August 17 that was televised LIVE on MSNBC in which he notified the community that “booths” were being set up around protest sites to register voters. While encouraging participation in our system is admirable, Sharpton has made no secret of his dislike for the Republican Party; therefore, one can presume that Sharpton’s invitation was a battle cry to join the Democrat Party.”
