After all, it was him, marching or sitting with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in all those civil rights photographs." Lemon did mention the leader’s extramarital affair in which he sired a child, but omitted the former Democratic presidential candidate’s bigoted "Hymietown" comments from 1984.

How about income tax evaision, using organization money to pay off the mother of his child, family and personal gain from threatening boycotts of various companies. What did I leave out?

CNN should give up any pretense of being a news network.

If not for the “Entertainment Tonight” media, the Justice Brothers would be broke.

This is the ‘Reverend’ who commits adultery on a consistent basis, after all! No doubt this kind of fraud would be embraced and celebrated by the Demonrats. Like I say, they have the OJ jury.
