Al Sharpton demands apology from Rush Limbaugh

Excerpt:

Radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal on October 16, 2009, detailing his experience in trying to invest in an NFL team franchise in St. Louis.

The Reverend Al Sharpton has demanded a public apology from Limbaugh, explaining that he did not have a "leading role" or any role in any riot in 1991. Sharpton says that Limbaugh's accusation would consist of a crime (having had a role in a riot) and is, therefore, defamation of character. Sharpton says he will pursue a lawsuit against radio entertainer Limbaugh if he doesn't apologize by the end of the week.

3. Projection 101, from the man who explicity tried to incite a riot w/ "Operation Chaos"

That's their M.O. Accuse others of doing exactly what they do. Repubs have no self awareness and no empathy for anyone outside their tribe. They expect that everyone else is the same, and if not outwardly, then secretly.
