BTW, if I remember correctly Sharpton did have to pay a price for the things he said during the Tawana Brawley thingy. He lost in civil court.

In 1998 Pagones was awarded $345,000 (he sought $150 million) through a lawsuit for defamation of character that he had brought against Sharpton, Maddox, and Mason, in which the jury found Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two and Mason for one.

Wiki:In 1998 Pagones was awarded $345,000 (he sought $150 million) through a lawsuit for defamation of character that he had brought against Sharpton, Maddox, and Mason, in which the jury found Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two and Mason for one. The jury deadlocked on four of the 22 statements Pagones had sued over and eight statements were found non-defamatory. [6]

Pagones had also sued Brawley. She defaulted by not appearing at the trial, and the judge ordered her to pay him damages of $185,000. As of 2003, none of the award had been paid. [1]

Thanks for the link

From it, it's not clear if the award not being paid comment as written, is about Brawley only or does it include Sharpton and the two "lawyers".
