WASHINGTON -- National Action Network president Rev. Al Sharpton promised a “season of civil disobedience” in reaction to the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general in the Trump administration.

Sharpton, an MSNBC host, said activists have planned a march in Washington on Jan. 14 during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend to protest the Sessions nomination. Sharpton recalled spending 90 days in jail for protesting on U.S. Navy land against military exercises on the island of Vieques in 2001 when George W. Bush was president, adding that civil disobedience usually works because it changes policy.

“We’re not just doing this to be doing it. We do it because it can lead to change and, believe me, there will be a season of civil disobedience particularly around the Sessions nomination,” he said Friday on a conference call with other civil rights organizations’ leaders such as Cornell William Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP, and Janet Murguia, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza.

Civil Unrest? BRING IT ON SHARPIE!!

[ninonitti]

What’s he going to do?

Refuse to pay his taxes?

[MGG]

Civil Disobedience? Like not paying your taxes?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Uncle Al had best practice up in singing the blues.

[SkyDancer]

Which is Sharpton’s definition of rioting for no reason whatsoever.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m hoping Trump makes a special effort to put Sharpton behind bars. He is despicable in every way.

[Jack Hammer]

Abouth the only ‘civil disobedience’ of which this has-been wanker is capable is declining to employ Kleenex

[grobdriver]

civil disobedience usually works because it changes policy.

When your leaders are wimps.

I think that's not the case any more...

[wiseprince]

I don’t hear much from “Conservatives” standing up to any of this stuff much. Interesting

[A_Former_Democrat]

Sharpie keeps running white folk into the GOP column

[ml/nj]

A real AG will see to it that the Reverend Al spends the rest of his life in the hoosegow.

[Still Thinking]

You mean there’s going to be blacks and minorities rioting? ONOZ! Oh, wait....

[MotorCityBuck]

Good Luck with that Al.

[onedoug]

Maybe they’ll finally arrest the SOB.

[gogeo]

That’s what I’m thinking. I say it makes Trump more popular, as it reminds the rest of us why we voted for him.

[Cowboy Bob]

Sharpton and Jesese, et al, have spent their entire lives flipping America the bird and profiting from it. I hope their days are numbered. I would love to see the IRS go after both of them. Sharpton’s got both an IRS dept and a defamation judgment that needs to be collected (with interest and penalties!)

[neocon1984]

A surefire sign that leftists are losing is when Sharpton shows up to play the race card.

[Gideon300]

Now....now....wait a minute.

How is Al going to do “civil disobedience” if he not in the country? Isn’t he on the list of loonies who promised to leave the US if Trump got elected? Could the Good Rev be a liar???

Oh, noooooo. How depressing to think such things.

[redcatcherb412]

Timing is everything, baracky just emptied a bunch of prison cells of his bro’s. Now there will be plenty of room for sharptons bro’s.

Drop the "Rev." for Al and Jesse. Neither earned the title. Neither has finished divinity school, had a church or congregation, or has been ordained in a recognized church. Al was "ordained" at age 10 by a DC preacher and has perpetuated the myth ever since.

BTW Al and Jesse: Why no comment on the Chicago Four? Surely even you two can find some "I'm-a-victim" theme for those four.
