"The Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton set aside their rivalry yesterday and appeared jointly at a church to exhort blacks to vote for Democrat John Kerry , who cast his own election as a continuation of the nation's civil rights struggle." (emphasis added)
So the question is, are Democratic supporters as angry at this as they are at Falwell, et al?

No, they
weren't. The speakers, Jackson and Sharpton, were giving their endorsements, but that is NOT the same thing as the churches' preachers giving an endorsement. The first is allowed under the IRS code for churches' participation in political activities. The second is not.
