Had a black friend of mine who met him some years ago tell me he seriously felt like he was talking to a demon of some sort .... gave him the creeps.

Odd that you got a similar vibe. Makes me wonder about the guy.

Yeah, I don't know what it was. I don't get vibes very often when speaking with folks--I'm pretty good at getting along with folks from all walks, but Sharpton was extremely unsettling, to say the least. Couldn't put my finger on it, but I'm fine with not ever getting to the bottom of that barrel.

I got that vibe one time when I was in NOLA in the same room/bar with David Duke back in the 80s. Had no clue who he was, not an inkling. I told my buddy who was there with me from Metairie, "who is that? Something weird as frick about that guy."

He told me. Gave me the creeps. But there was this other guy with him when they were walking to the back of the bar who was even creepier .... every time I see Krieger on Archer it reminds me of him.
