Sounds like that's what Al Sharpton's calling him, and it also sounds like Sharpton would rather stymie a reactionary force than stick with his buddy David Paterson.
Washington Post:
The Rev. Al Sharpton, a previously staunch supporter of Paterson's, sounded less enthusiastic on Monday.
On Twitter, Sharpton wrote: "I have been on the phone the last 24 hours talking with White House, NY Governor Paterson, and other leaders around whether he should run."
A few minutes later, Sharpton tweeted: "I hope that leaders put the agenda of the people ahead of personal agendas. We cannot let reactionary forces win back seats of power."
By "reactionary forces," Sharpton was apparently referring to former New York City mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani....
Litmus test: If someone calls you a "reactionary force", you've either made your mark in society or are in grad school. Same if you're called a "reductionist".
