More On Racist Reverend Al "Fo' Shizzle My Nizzle" Sharpton

A few other links below on Racist Reverend Al fo' shizzle my nizzle Sharpton, as if he has a fat little black leg to stand on in court without being knocked back on his not so little fat black azz. I'm thinking if anything does ever come of the money grabbing, media whore's latest PR stunt, Limbaugh will hire a lawyer who's down for the cause.

Sort of reminds me of this Denny Crane video clip, somehow - love it:

Then Sharpton came undone again. In 1995 he organized demonstrations against a Harlem store called Freddy's, denouncing the "white interlopers" who owned it. One of Sharpton's protesters went on a shooting rampage in the store, then burned it to the ground. Eight people died. Sharpton restored the shine when he ran for the 1997 Democratic mayoral nomination. He won 32 percent of the vote in the primary and came within 1,000 votes of forcing a runoff with Ruth Messinger. Again, the press observed the "Remaking of the Rev. Al" and applauded the more temperate Sharpton.

 Sharpton sabotaged himself anew. Pagones had sued him for his false Brawley accusations, and the case finally reached trial in 1998. In August 1998, Sharpton was found liable of defaming Pagones and ordered to pay him $65,000. Sharpton still wouldn't apologize to Pagones or admit that Brawley made up her story. A month later, he flipped the bird to his critics by sharing the stage with reprehensibles Khalid Muhammad, Malik Shabazz, and Leonard Jeffries at the Million Youth March.

Or maybe something from HNN:

Pagones won a court judgment against Sharpton for $345,000, which Sharpton never paid. Moreover, during the decade prior to Pagones’ long-awaited vindication in court, the former prosecutor had suffered constant stress and anxiety (exacerbated by numerous death threats from Sharpton’s credulous followers) that contributed heavily to the devastating dissolution of Pagones’ marriage and the virtual ruin of his life.

 Sharpton smelled more blood in 1991, when anti-Semitic riots in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section erupted after a seven-year old black child named Gavin Cato was accidentally killed by a car driven by a Hasidic Jew. Neighborhood residents were enraged by the boy’s death, and within three hours a black mob had murdered an innocent rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, in retribution. At Gavin Cato’s funeral, Sharpton criticized the Jewish community and thereafter organized a series of massive, angry demonstrations. He declared that Cato’s death was not merely the result of a car accident, but rather “the social accident of apartheid.” The contentious activist then challenged local Jews—who he derisively characterized as “diamond merchants” —to “pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house” to settle the score. Finally he claimed, without proof, that the Jewish driver had run over the Cato child while in a drunken stupor.

Stirred in part by such rhetoric and false accusations, hundreds of Crown Heights blacks took violently to the streets, pelting Jewish homes with rocks, setting vehicles on fire, and shouting “Jew! Jew!” The riots continued for three days and nights. Sharpton’s response: “We must not reprimand our children for outrage, when it is the outrage that was put in them by an oppressive system.” Five days after the original car accident that had triggered the violence, Sharpton led 400 shouting protesters through the heart of the Crown Heights Jewish community, shouting “No justice, no peace!” The relentless Sharpton even traveled to Israel to search for the driver who had run over Gavin Cato. When angry Israeli onlookers taunted Sharpton with shouts of “Go to hell,” he replied: “I am in hell!”

In 1995, Sharpton led his National Action Network in an ugly boycott against Freddy’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned business in Harlem, New York. The boycott started when Freddy’s owners announced that because they wanted to expand their own business, they would no longer sublet part of their store to a black-owned record shop. The street leader of the boycott, Morris Powell, was the head of Sharpton’s “Buy Black” Committee. Repeatedly referring to the Jewish proprietors of Freddy’s as “crackers,” Powell and his fellow protesters menacingly told passersby, “Keep [going] right on past Freddy’s, he’s one of the greedy Jew bastards killing our [black] people. Don’t give the Jew a dime.”

All of this occurred under the watchful, approving eye of Sharpton, who provided some additional sound bites for the media: “We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so some white interloper can expand his business on 125th Street…There is a systematic and methodical strategy to eliminate our people from doing business on 125th Street….[O]ne of our brothers...is now being threatened.” Sharpton exhorted blacks to join “the struggle brother Powell and I are engaged in.” The subsequent picketing became increasingly violent in tone until one of the protesters eventually shot four whites inside the store and then set the building on fire—killing seven employees, most of whom were Hispanics.

and some wonder why we still have racial tension in America. Al Sharpton is a shanker on the junk of this Country.

[arlenearmy]

Sharpton is bad news. I've heard some of the awful things he & Jackson have done, but what you have reported in this article is news to me. Sharpton is gonna get some folks killed.

When Jackson got in trouble over the mistress & IRS ordeal, that was the time for the authorities to take him DOWN! Since they did not, he is still around to cause trouble. Sharpton has to be shut down hard & fast, or he will continue to stir us mess.

[CPT. Charles]

I hope he does follow thru with his threat.

Rush can hire better lawyers with his pocket lint. It'll turn into a disaster for Sharpton, and the Left.

Rush's audience will grow out of sheer curiosity; the last thing in the universe the WH would wish for.

We can take bets on how long it takes for the WH call Sharpton off.

Rush's Monday show should be interesting, to say the least.

[MDr]

I think Rush carefully penned his piece, chumming for Sharpton & Jackson. He's got one on the hook - the El Rushbo engineered entertainment will be reeling this carp in. Unfortunately, the skill and effort required will be more like landing a chicken fish than a marlin.

Sharpton must be projecting here, because I really don't see what his beef is. Rush said the IrReverend "played a leading role". He didn't say he incited a riot, or was a direct participant in the riot. Played a leading role = a major star in the production; and the slicked hair, pouting mouth one, was everywhere to be seen and heard.

Not a riot? RevAl needs to check his dictionary. Not all the definitions are as narrowly tailored as he'd like to read it.

Rush will get a twofer here - increased ratings and a greater national exposure of the Left's tactics. Maybe the WH needs to reel their useful idiot in first.

[sookie]

Sharpton is a thug, but expect that he gets a boost from as will Rush. There is no bad publicity for those who know how to play the game

It's funny how you talk about Sharpton being racist, and then you say this:

"as if he has a fat little black leg to stand on in court without being knocked back on his not so little fat black azz."

Why bother mentioning his race at all unless it's central to your insult. See, this is how it would have read if you weren't racist:

"as if he has a fat little leg to stand on in court without being knocked back on his not so little fat ass."

[Dan Riehl]

John - I'm well aware of it. I intentionally injected his race in it because that's how he makes his living. Deal with it.

[North Dallas Thirty]

Why bother mentioning his race at all unless it's central to your insult. See, this is how it would have read if you weren't racist:

But notice how John supports and endorses the Reverend Al's rhetoric against white people and Jews.

What we should again realize is that when John screams "racist", it has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with opposition to the behavior of the Barack Obamas and Al Sharptons of this world. John is literally incapable of admitting that Al Sharpton is a racist or makes racist remarks. That shows you how intellectually pathetic and foolish the Obama Party and Barack Obama are.

Everytime I see this mans name appear in some propaganda media story, I ask why do these dunces think a out of touch racebaiter like him and Jessie speaks for the black community? They would be unemployable if it was not for their activities against the best interest of the black community, as long as these two exist and the media keeps giving them (undeserved) creditability the country will always have a racial problem.

[North Dallas Thirty]

"Everytime I see this mans name appear in some propaganda media story, I ask why do these dunces think a out of touch racebaiter like him and Jessie speaks for the black community?"

I think Michelle Malkin's photo montage speaks best to that question.
