Al Sharpton Pretends He's Not Partisan

MSNBC Host Al Sharpton is trying to convince the world that his stance against Voter ID laws is "non-partisan."


Sorry to break it to you Rev. but if your views were "non-partisan," you would agree with 70 percent of the country, who believes Voter ID is not only non-discrimminatory, but that you should be required to show some form of photo ID before voting.

Attorney General Eric Holder signaled last week that the Justice Department will be closely examining new state laws that require showing a photo ID before voting for potential racial bias, but voters nationwide overwhelmingly favor such a requirement and reject the idea that it is discriminatory.

Seventy percent (70%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver’s license before being allowed to cast their ballot.
