Al Sharpton for President?

For the past few months we have all been hearing and reading about the Democrat candidates for that Party’s nomination for President. What has amazed me is the way Al Sharpton, the master exploiter of riots, mayhem and murders, has been treated as a credible candidate.

There he’s been, right up there on the stage the other candidates as they debate. Sharing the platform on occasion has been Carol Mosely Braun, a black former Senator whom voters dismissed for sheer incompetence.

The problem for me is that the mainstream media have all developed amnesia, rarely mentioning that this candidate gained fame by inserting himself into a number of racially charged incidents in various New York City neighborhoods. He first gained national headlines by supporting a hoax perpetrated by a young, black teenager named Tawana Brawley. In a 1987 case, she claimed to have been kidnapped and raped by several white men. Sharpton, at one point, accused a local prosecutor, Steven Pagones, of being one of the rapists. In 1998, Pagones won at $345,000 judgment against Sharpton for having defamed him.

Earlier, in a 1991 riot, Sharpton led protests in Crown Heights, a Jewish neighborhood, for four nights in a row and a young rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, was set upon by a mob and killed. In 1995, Sharpton led a two-month protest outside of Freddy’s Fashion Mart in Harlem. Owned by Freddy Harari, a Jew, his rent had been raised by a black church, the United House of Prayer, and Freddy had to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. Sharpton denounced Freddy, not the black landlords, and the result was that one of the protesters burst into his store, shot four employees dead, and then set fire to the store. In all, seven employees died.

In March of 1983, Sharpton had been caught on a FBI surveillance video discussing a cocaine purchase with an undercover FBI agent posing as a Latin American businessman. Sharpton talked about making a buy, possibly as an agent for Daniel Pagano, a member of the Genovese crime family and a longtime friend of Sharpton. He subsequently became an informant for the FBI and Pagano was indicted on racketeering charges.

And this man is running for President of the United States of America! As a Democrat!

If he can qualify on the ballot in twenty states, he could be eligible for more than $16 million in federal matching funds!

What I don’t understand is why no one seems outraged by this? This man is invariably referred to as a "leader" of Afro-Americans. This Jesse Jackson wannabe is following in the footsteps of this other "leader" who has since gone into eclipse as the result of having had an adulterous affair with a woman and fathering her child. Jackson’s "Operation Push" has been described as nothing more than a racist extortion racket.

Despite some real advances in recent decades, the black community in America has continued to be "led" by some of the most racist and disreputable people one could imagine. Larry Elder, a radio talk show host, recently noted that "Most blacks do quite well in America, with black income and business creation outpacing that of whites." Regrettably, despite those advances, homicide is still the number one cause of death for young black men and women between the ages of 15 and 25. An astonishing 94% of black Americans slain between 1976 and 1999 were killed by other black Americans. That suggests a community that is in serious trouble.

Democrats assume blacks will vote for their candidate no matter who it is. And they do. In 2000, 90% of the black vote went to Al Gore. The time is long overdue for black Americans to let go of their own racism and smarten up. The politics of victimization keep them trapped by the Democrat Party, by the NAACP, the Party’s black, socialist lapdog, and others who play the race card.

Meanwhile, I am still waiting to find out how "Reverend" Sharpton can call himself a man of the cloth when he has never been a pastor of any church? That goes for Jesse, too.

Go Al Go!

[arasina]

Go Al? I don't know. I worry about what he'll do with those matching funds. Good article.

[MorningCoffee]

Republicans 4 Sharpton!

We need to make a website.

[presidio9]

I worry about what he'll do with those matching funds.

He will buy Krispy Kreme doughnuts and advertising space that targets legitimate Democrat candidates.

Republicans For Sharpton

Amen to that, brother!

[MorningCoffee]

Oh my god, no way!
Someone actually did!

Thanks for the site.

What has amazed me is the way Al Sharpton, the master exploiter of riots, mayhem and murders, has been treated as a credible candidate.

By the Democrat Party. What's so amazing about that? If charlatans couldn't seek the Dem nomination, the Dems would never have nominees.

[ARCADIA]

The problem for me is that the mainstream media have all developed amnesia, rarely mentioning that this candidate gained fame by inserting himself into a number of racially charged incidents in various New York City neighborhoods.

Is that a job for the media, or, for his opponents? What is the point of having a nominating process, if everyone is too PC to examine a candidate's record?

[Argus]

Sharpton benefits from the "Stagger Lee" effect - the tendency of black people to cheer on whoever gets on whitey's nerves the most, regardless of their champion's personal qualities or lack thereof. In fact, the more unapologetically disreputable he is, the better. Adam Clayton Powell, another questionable clergyman turned politician, is Sharpton's true role model here (albeit much better looking). The reason why the white Democrat powers that be actively promote this type of black "leader" is obvious - they pose no credible threat to white dominance of the party, since they have absolutely no potential to cross over and attract significant white support. Their function is to keep the black Democrat voting bloc in its place.

[hosepipe]

And not a word about Louis Farrakand...

Proponent of "Islam"... the only serious proponents of slavery in the world today with blacks in america hanging like bats on that tree.... course there are still a few communist governemnts left practicing slavery in mass...

(off subject)...true...
nevermind!.....lol

[Dunedain]

Time Magazine is obviously gunning for Dean. I've read 2 articles in the last few months profiling Dean.

[billhilly]

Now, now. David Duke ran as a republican for governor of Louisiana a few years back. He was disavowed by the party and is now serving time in prison. Perhaps the Rev. Al can join him after the primaries.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[carenot]

Hahaa, thanks fer thinkin' of me, farm!

Run,Al, RUN!

[JLAGRAYFOX]

How any American Jew can vote Democrat is beyond any sane reason! With Al Sharpton as a Jew hater and Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton fawning all over Arab terrorists, Jews are voting for their own doom! Let American military pull out of Iraq as Dean suggests and watch the slaughter of Jews worldwide ramp up! What morons these American Jews are!

[Victoria Delsoul]

And this man is running for President of the United States of America! As a Democrat!

Of course he is a Democrat. Does the author expect Sharpton's long list of criminal accomplishments would allow him to run as a Republican?

[MorningCoffee]

With Al Sharpton as a Jew hater - JLAGRAYFOX

Is he really?
Do you have any links to back-up this statement?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

ROTFL!

And they say conservatives never have any fun!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Interesing. I never think of American Jews. I think of Americans. Maybe that's because I have never called myself an American Baptist.

[JustPiper]

I was debating voting for Al in the primary -g-

[davidosborne]

GO AL GO !!!

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Having spent significant time in Israel, there is a major difference in the way Israeli's feel and the way American Jews feel. Any Jew in America that condones the kissing of Yassar Arafat's wife by the "Living Devil Personified", Hillary Clinton needs their head examined! You folks, I suspect have never seen a baby with its head blown off or innocent Americans leaping to their deaths from the WTC on 911 to avoid being seared to death by burning jet fuel! Americans, my friend, need a "reality" check, and voting for any Democrat is not the reality they want. I can assure you of that. But, be that as it may, go ahead and vote Democrat, but don't come crying when you lose your head and your family because the Democrat Party did not protect America. Just look at how Bill & Hillary Clinton left our wonderful country unprotected and placed us in direct harm's way! You make up your own mind. I have already made up mine!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I understand your dismay over loss of innocent life, and I never said I condoned Arafat or his lunacy.

My only point was in saying that some people chose to see themselves as Americans first and then tack on other identifying labels.

I AM AN AMERICAN... and then I am other labels.

I would hope the same would be true for American Jews, American Muslims, American athiests. America, first. Supporting America does not mean blindly following one party or another. If you do that, you sell your soul to the party, and are not doing your part to strengthen America.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

You must be kidding? Where have you been? I guess you don't know much about the good reverend that never had a congregation! The man is is nothing but a dispenser of hate for all people but Black folks. As you can see, he ain't going nowhere! We New Yorkers know him very well. He is just another traitor/treason and low life, socialist Democrat that would destroy America! He and Hillary Clinton should get together and do their Devil worshiping together!

[JLAGRAYFOX]

No dear, you innocent soul, you are dead wrong! My loyalty is to America as was FDR's, HST's and JFK's, all Democrats!. I am not pushing GW Bush as the end all. What I am saying is the "current" Democrat Party is enabling our enemies and is assisting in the killing of American military personnel. The Democrat Party is guilty of treason and are traitors to the USA. FDR never would have stood for the crap that these Demcorat low life, traitors are pulling today. I stand for freedom & liberty, and the right to disagree, but I do not stand for treason against our great country. The politics of the Democrat Party is killing innocent people all around the world as we are viewed as weak. Our enemies pray every day for a Democrat victory. I can also assure that your life will not be worth a plugged nickel, if the terrorists get their way. Elect a Democrat and you are moving in that direction! They would rejoice if Hillary Clinton was ever elected as President! It is not Democrats or Republicans that are dying for our freedom, it is American citizens! Wake up!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Don't worry for my soul, dear heart.

I have no affection or affiliation for the Democratic party, or their nine dwarves.

I have sided with the righteous, in this war on terror. Bush will prevail.

Oh yea, and don’t forget to call the local demoncrap party headquarters and ask them the following before the primary election:

1. Can I get a ride to the polls – help them spend their money during the primaries so they’ll have less during the national election. Have them take you the scenic route and stop off and do some shopping on the way home.
2. Are you giving anything away free for voting democrat? Cigarettes, booze, box of cigars, box lunch, etc. Ask for two of each.
3. Send 25 cents in the mail to the DNC and watch how much they spend on mailing you to give to the party. Always send their solicitation back to them with all associated literature in the prepaid envelope included in the mailing. They have to pay that postage upon return. Great way to help them spend money and keep you up to date on their propaganda.
