Thomas Sowell Rips Al Sharpton As ‘Race Hustler’

Friday, December 5, 2014 Conservative pundit and writer Thomas Sowell had nothing but criticism for Rev. Al Sharpton, calling the nationally known activist a race baiter who was using the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases for personal profit.

“[Mr. Sharpton] is a race hustler,” Mr. Sowell said during an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. “[He’s] very proficient at it.”

A tax-evading one at that.

He owes the government $4 million dollars. For that, he’ll dance to whatever tune they play.

Al is hoping another five black teens get shot next year so he can raise enough money to pay back his tax debt.

Rev. Al looks like he's been losing a lot of weight lately. Does he have some kind of wasting disease, OR has someone given him an enema?

I see Al Sharpton being invited to the White House as a conflict of interest. Is Obama letting the IRS know that Sharpton’s tax debt is not to be pursued aggressively?

My understanding is that some of that tax debt is withholding taxes. Businesses are padlocked when they cant pay withholding taxes. And there is a 100% personal penalty for withholding taxes and not remitting them to the IRS.

The 100% personal penalty effectively pierces the corporate veil and makes the responsible party personally liable for the taxes withheld and not remitted.

How can Obama invite him to the White House without sending the message to the IRS that he is not to be touched.

That sounds like the presidency should be viewed as a black position, like some congressional seats like Charlie Rangel’s. It is probably best left to those who believe in this country and work hard to win the prize.

“Rips” him? How about “accurately describes”?
