The great irony is that Imus used to suck up to Sharpton.

O’Reilly seems to have a celebrity fixation .. he’s brutal with non-celebs, but always, always, always is deferrential to celebs. Yet, who made Sharpton a celebrity? The media!

What did Sharpton ever do that was worthwhile or really advanced the cause of African-Americans ? At least Jackson really was a civil rights leader. I don’t recall Sharpton in Selma or elsewhere in the region when there was risk involved, but maybe I’m wrong?

I wouldnt really say that jackson was a Civil Rights leader.

jackson has made a career of being on the balcony and getting MLK’s blood sneared on his jacket. Word is he got down and placed it there himself.

Here we have a man with no job, no Church of his own, No congregation and some say no right to call himself a preacher since he reportedly has never been ordained.

Yet his son owns a Budweiser distributorship thanks to extortion and Jesse Jr. has a Congressional seat, thanks to race baiting, and Jesse hiomself is a millionaire who allows Rainbow Coalition to pay his child support.

No: what we have here isnt a Civil Rights leader, what we have here is a smart con man, who shopuld be investigated under RICO if the govt. had any balls.
