Reverend Al appears on the Fox News network REGULARLY
on Hannity's show, and is PAID for his appearances. Lest we forget.

Why hasn't he spoken out about the injustices by the Reich Wing talking heads previously?

I spell that word

Hypocrisy.

Randi thinks it's brilliant to go after Imus.

Why hasn't Rev Al done it sooner?

Edited on Tue Apr-10-07 05:26 PM by FredScuttle
And you are willfully ignoring all the posters telling you that Sharpton has gone after the Limbaughs of the world...for years.

5. Nope, he never got the media attention he did the last few days
If he had gone after them with the same fervor, we wouldn't be talking about this now, would we?

21. Apparently not
you continue unabated in your crusade against Rev. Sharpton - without whom, I might add, this whole Imus debacle would have been swept away.

12. Whatever, it's truth
I'd like to know why the Reverend Sharpton and Jessie Jackson doesn't get outraged by acts against of violence and the disparaging of gays, and AntiSemitism on the world stage?

Could you answer that for me?

17. What the fuck are you talking about?
Try following some of Rev. Sharpton's efforts before spewing this ignorance.

20. No screw this, you aren't worth the effort
Edited on Tue Apr-10-07 07:21 PM by DainBramaged
Sharpton is a huckster. Ask him what he did with the funds from his Presidential Campaign. Ask him for an accounting of the funds and what causes other than the Rev Al benefited from them.

And I can't see your bleating drivel any longer. There arte TWO sides to EVERY story, and even though Imus said a stupid thing, he never tried to extort money from anyone.

22. You have a grudge against Al Sharpton, that is clear...
in your litany of complaints about Rev. Sharpton, where does his efforts to hold Don Imus accountable for his vicious racist and sexist attack on a team of college women fall?

9. And the Rev GOT REAL PISSED when he was confronted on Tweety's show
about not apologizing for the Tawana Brawley incident, by David Gregory. Rev Al said some mighty racist statements back then.

14. I read the Wiki too when my memory fails, check these out
He has also made many antisemitic and derogatory remarks toward Jews.

Sharpton, Maddox and Mason were later successfully sued for statements made in connection with the case, and ordered to pay $345,000 in damages. All three falsely accused the case prosecutor, Steven Pagones, as being among those who abducted and raped Brawley. The jury found Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two and Mason for one

Crown Heights Riot
Al Sharpton became the de-facto representative for the Cato family. During the funeral he referred to "diamond merchants" considered a code word for Hasidic Jews , for shedding "the blood of innocent babies" leading marchers shouting "No Justice No Peace". Sharpton did not start the riots but his rhetoric was seen as inflammatory and unhelpful in easing the tension between the black and Jewish communities. A visiting rabbinical student from Australia by the name of Yankel Rosenbaum, 29 years old, was killed during the rioting by a mob shouting "Kill the Jew".

13. Imus is a moron who happens to be white. Sharpton is a moron who happens to be black.
It's just that simple.
