Sharpton’s claim to fame was built on the Twana Brawley hoax, where a black female teen accused several white men of a racially motivated sexual assault. The accusations were proven to be a hoax concocted by Ms. Brawley with the help of Al Sharpton. The Rev. Shapton exploited his media coverage in the case and taking cues from Jesse Jackson, became a professional race baiter living off of “donations” coerced from white businesses who feel denying his demands would paint them as racist.
I always thought Al Sharpton should have gone to jail for his participation in the Tawana Brawley hoax. For some strange reason, the media put a camera on him and allowed him to spew more inaccurate charges. They bought it and allowed him to portray himself as a reputable authority...which he is not! I get so disgusted when I see O'Reilly and others deferring to him as though he were entitled to be taken seriously and accorded respect. The man deserves to be exposed for what he is...a dishonest shyster and scam artist (IMHO), and the same goes for Jessie Jackson. What kind of minister is it that lies, has extra marital affairs, fathers unwed children, and cons a company into giving his sons a beer distributorship? Here's a little clip telling how much they're making for their intimidation tactics: "
In the early 1980s, Jackson organized a boycott of Anheuser-Busch, Inc. because the brewing company had no minority distributors. In 1998, Jackson’s sons Yusef and Jonathan were awarded the exclusive rights to distribute the brewer’s products in a section of Chicago’s North Side. The Jackson family distributorship records sales of $30 million to $40 million annually." Quite a prize, huh?
I'm convinced if we don't stop yielding to the minorities' illegal charges, the ACLU, the liberal Congress people, and the left-wing media and groups operating in this country, we won't have a free America to claim. These groups are rapidly taking our freedoms and making us answer to them, and I resent and reject that!
