MSNBC Is Now Rev. Al Sharpton's Personal Fiefdom
investors.com ^ | 8/28/2013 | Brent Bozell

After Sharpton finished on MSNBC, hosts Ed Schultz and Melissa Harris-Perry agreed Sharpton was the Martin Luther King of this century. "There's no doubt that Reverend Sharpton is the contemporary civil rights leader of our time," said Schultz. "He is peerless," oozed Harris-Perry.

Schultz honored Sharpton as a "man with a very unique platform in a social media with a television show, with the National Action Network, with the social following that he has."

It's "very unique" for the reverend to host a nightly hour on cable news at the same time he's assembling crowds in the street for "justice for Trayvon" or whatever the racial ambulance-chaser's case of the day might be.

Perhaps Sharpton views himself as a politicized version of John Walsh on "America's Most Wanted," except the evil perpetrators he's tracking are conservative Republicans.

Radical-left MSNBC analyst Michael Eric Dyson joined in. "What Rev. Sharpton did today was magnificent," he claimed. "Today Rev. Sharpton emerged as the pre-eminent leader of his generation, bar none!"

Dyson was putting Sharpton above Obama, Bill Clinton and every other leader in America. Harris-Perry was still agreeing: "I think that's clear. Rev. Sharpton for me walks away from this moment peerless!"

MSNBC has gone absolutely nuts. The zombie apocalypse will seem sane compared to this network.

MSNBC Is Now Rev. Al Sharpton’s Personal Fiefdom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not so fast... They still have Chrissy Matthews there, right? He’s as batshit looney as no-so-Sharpton. Can’t they both share the fiefdom?

These people don’t want racial harmony, they want revenge against white people.

But they cut back 2 of Matthew's shows. He only has one hour left.

The promoting of Sharpton is off the charts. He must have something on someone high up.

I thought about one but since the author was Brent Bozell, I decided to forgo.

That said, I had to fight off the nausea in reading it.

So? Is that supposed to be something to brag about? They get worse ratings than CNBC.

Well, Sharpton is peerless...but that’s not a good thing in his case.

I wonder why today’s relatives and black supporters if MLK don’t revolt at Al Sharpton being compared to MLK. You go back and read what MLK stood for, and compare that to what Al Sharpton stands for and there is NO comparison. God Bless MLK, God D### Al Sharpton and anyone who believes he represents MLK in this century. MLK advanced the black race, Sharpton resets the black race to before MLK.

Or a direct order from Obama, Michelle, or Valery Jarret to be nice to Sharpton.

There is no doubt in my mind that most of those who love Obama would do oral things on him, Sharpton, Jackson and the rest of the race hustlers. I don’t know if it’s guilty or stupidity or both.

"There's no doubt that Reverend Sharpton is the contemporary civil rights leader of our time," said Schultz. "He is peerless," oozed Harris-Perry.

As offensive as that statement is, the more I think about it, the more I realize that it is quite factual.

To me, a race hustler disguised as a fake preacher is indeed the peerless contemporary civil rights leader of our time.

Actually, the more I think about it, not only is that factually accurate, that's probably one of the funniest things I'll read all week.

I can't help but laugh at how and how far we've fallen and can't get up.

I guess laughing is better than crying at this point.
