“If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house” – NBC News’ Al Sharpton

After weeks of speculation, Al Sharpton has been named the official host of the 6:00 PM ET slot on NBC News’ cable outlet MSNBC. The show, titled Politics Nation, will officially debut on August 29th.

From Reuters:

“I am very happy and honored to join the MSNBC team as we collectively try to get America to ’Lean Forward,’” Sharpton said in a statement. “It is a natural extension of my life work and growth. We all learn from our pain and stand up from our stumbling and one must either learn to lean forward or fall backwards. I’m glad they have given me the opportunity to continue my forward lean.”

RESIST WE MUCH!

What a great candidate to continue the journalistic effort of MSLSD!

[Secret Agent Man]

NBC gives black racists tv shows. I think this must be repeated at every opportunity.

[Mmogamer]

With as many screw-ups he makes, will be a hilarious show.

[mardi59]

Now it will be easier for the left to spread more racial hatred against whites and create more division.

What makes these white people that want blacks to hate whites think that they will be safe if racial rioting breaks out? They will be as big a target as the rest of us.

What is this MSNBC you speak of today? Is it contagious?

[cranked]

I have never watched MSNBC and never will.

Furthermore, I have never tolerated or stomached watching a known racist and bigot spews idiocy...and never will.

I’d wager that Sarah Palin has more Facebook Friends than the entire MSNBC has weekly viewers..... =.=

[SharpRightTurn]

Al Not-so-Sharpton: the black Joe Bite-me of gaffes, with racism and shake-down artistry thrown in for good measure.

He’ll fit right in with the prevailing TV offerings of 2011.

“I am very happy and honored to join the MSNBC team as we collectively try to get America to ’Lean Forward,’”

Many people "lean forward" to fart. Is that what "Reverend" Al is doing here? PMSNBC does produce most of the world's flatulence.

[dforest]

Heard this show was the stupidist show on TV.

Who would want to admit to viewing it.

MSNBC has now managed to dig a hole so deep that not even light can escape from the bottom.............Scientists rethinking cosmological theory of singularities.

Nuff said.

[CodeToad]

Exactly. This guy will burn the network in so many ways.

[Viking2002]

'Lean Forward' = bend over

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[SkyDancer]

Wow. Sharpton on one end, Sgt. Shultz on the other. A couple of dumbbells. Will make for some funny material.

“Now it will be easier for the left to spread more racial hatred against whites and create more division.”

Not really. Have you ever seen their ratings?

The only people with the stomach to watch that channel are the choir and our beloved media watchdog governsleastgovernsbest And he lives on maalox.

[mardi59]

I’m talking about the blacks that will be watching him ginning up hatred against whites. I’m sure he’ll be happy to have Maxine Waters on his show to help him along.

[IM2MAD]

Someone will have to take note of the sponsors. I need to know what products to avoid.

[MNnice]

So when the show fails, I suppose it’ll be because of racism.

[mardi59]

DITTO that!

[citizencon]

So, hiring a racist makes MSNBC officially not racist.
Really!
