"I'll show dat suckah Clintun who de first Black president be."

The Rev. Al Sharpton says he did nothing wrong when he took questionable campaign checks two years ago — and the lack of an investigation by then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, who is no fan of his, is proof of his innocence.
Ashcroft "was the attorney general who had me put in jail for nonviolent protests in Vieques," Sharpton told NY1, according to transcripts of an interview. "If he had tapes that were incriminating me two years ago, I'm sure we'd all know by now."
The FBI videotaped Sharpton accepting checks for his 2004 presidential campaign from Philadelphia powerbroker Donald White.............
White was at the center of a corruption probe before his death last fall. White's associate, Detroit fast-food king La-Van Hawkins, is being tried as a result of the probe.
It's not known how much Sharpton received, but he's heard on tape demanding $25,000 more.
Hawkins and White were later heard on a wiretap suggesting Sharpton may not have reported all the money to the FEC.
Sharpton claims his finances have always been disclosed.
Hawkins and White were also heard on tape hoping that Sharpton could get them access to billions of dollars from PepsiCo, where he was an advisor. Sharpton responded that he often helps minorities gain access to businessmen adding, "I do not consider it criminal."

Rev. Al: Living demonstration that talk is not cheap.
Poor Al. /sarcasm
I can understand why AG Ashcroft did not prosecute His Indescribable Holiness, the Right Reverend Al Sharpton. I can well imagine the howls of racial protest if he did.
But there is a way to smoke out that FBI tape, without a prosecution. It is to challenge Rev. Al repeatedly in public to waive his privacy interest in this tape. It's the same as challenging John Kerry to sign his Form 180. "If you have nothing to fear from the truth, then let the truth be known."

Uhhh, I think that should be "Ronald White".

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.
Look who got caught in the Philly corruption scandal....hehe!
Al is just a helpless victim of racism (sob).
Man, oh man....all that shuckin' and jivin'......LOL.
If Ashcroft didnt keep the tape
Al must be left to escape
Al's living in a bygone world. Political correctness is dead. The PC club used by the Secular Taliban and their acolytes to beat back believers, to silence moralists of every faith is dead, killed by a culture corrupted and devastated by the PC atrocity. Secularists had their chance.....they screwed up bigtime.
billions of dollars huh???
I don't know about Al ..
But White and Street are heard on some of those tapes talking about playing the race card to help the mayor's re-election
Sharpton revs up against Dean
(Click here or on the pic for entire article)At stake for Sharpton is control, both of his home turf and the African-American wing of the national party. He won't look kindly on any presidential candidate, including Dean, who doesn't recognize his primacy. In fact, he's threatening to sit out the 2004 election. "I'll just go back to Harlem," he says. Let Dean explain that to black voters.

"If I can slap this donkey I can make it kick George Bush out of the White House."
--Al Sharpton
Isn't it just amazing how any little thing a Republican does gets wide coverage from the MSM but these two crooks get a free ride.
Now these two would have made a great team and we would have had a laugh a minute.
(Sob) The Democrat Party's tolerance and compassion is so touching (sniffle).
Beth, how's about posting that great Al for President pic---the one about scaring America? Love that pic.
"If I can slap this donkey I can make it kick George Bush out of the White House." Al Sharpton
"Ah'll show dat suckah Clintun who de first Black presidunt be."
Crazy Al is still jockeying for position...
...Oh now, you didn't think the good reverend was going to slink away quietly after the 2004 election did you?
...The only thing Al Sharpton is good for these days is comic relief.
-Regards, T.
haha! I saved that one in my desktop political pics file for future use.
ROTFLOL....that pic cracks me up......the expression on Al's face is priceless.
Many thanks, Beth.
Ole Rev. Al sure must scare all those Whitey Executives in the Old & New Media for him to get so much face time and even a seat at a presidential primary debate!
LOLOL! :)
