Al Sharpton isn’t one to keep quiet when under attack, and tonight he responded in kind to the near-universal conservative guffaw his “resist we much” teleprompter gaffe received last night. Specifically, he responded to Rush Limbaugh, who suggested jokingly that the teleprompter was “racist.” Taking full responsibility for garbling the words, he thanked Limbaugh for bringing him viewers, telling him, “I want to preach to your choir!”
Sharpton seemed in good spirits about the gaffe, clarifying that, unlike Limbaugh’s conspiracies, “there’s no racist teleprompter” and “there’s no black journalist trying to sabotage me– I messed up a line!” He took so much responsibility, noting that it happens to anyone who has ever hosted a show, “including you,” that he even gave away another gaffe he made tonight. “There is no ‘Environmental Projection Agency,’” he noted, requesting Limbaugh play that mistake, too. “Play that tomorrow, because I want all of your listeners to start watching me,” he argued. “I don’t want to preach to the choir– I want to preach to your choir, Rush!” He also addressed the “conspiracies” surrounding his hire: “I don’t deal with them because they make people watch.”

Sharpton said, "Sometimes you have to nudge the donkey and sometimes you have to push the donkey and then sometimes you have to slap the donkey!
It's one of my all-time favorite political quotes. I loved it so much, I toyed with the idea of starting a SlapDaDonkey.com website.
You forgot Al (c)Hunt and Al Qaeda.
I’ve listened to Al Sharpton’s radio show when I was working in Atlanta.
100% of his callers were blaming whitey for keeping them down and, although he wasn’t actively encouraging them to do so, he did nothing to slow them or challenge them.
It is sad that there are so many self described victims out there who descended from slaves who were treated a thousand times worse, but didn’t complain even a fraction of what their descendents do.
What? You don’t like Hannity’s “good friend” and favorite guest? Well, I don’t know if he’s Hannity’s favorite but he sure has him on there a lot.
One of the reasons I don’t watch very much.
Yes, I agree that those slaves would be shocked to see what their ancestors have done with their freedom.
I don’t like to dwell on it, but I’ve never thought Hannity was the sharpest pencil in the box. He means well. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but quite often he really doesn’t get it.
