The rabble-rousing Rev should give his daughter a sermon about road rage. The Rev. Al Sharpton’s ex-wife and daughter were arrested last night after berating a pair of Harlem cops who pulled them over for running a red light in the wrong lane to get around their slow-moving, unmarked cruiser, sources told The Post. Kathy Jordan, 53, and her daughter, Dominique Sharpton, 23, were handcuffed and hauled to a precinct, where the raging reverend’s daughter tried to no avail to get off the hook because of her family ties, the sources said. They were issued desk appearance tickets before being...

Yes, you’ll tell me that there are such organizations as the Jewish Defense League that sometimes make noise when acts are inappropriately done against Jews. Fine, I hear you, but no specific Jewish leader has the name recognition that gets called onto media programs following anti-Semitic related events. Nor does any Jewish leader have the clout that forces politicians to stand with them at press conferences the way NYC boss Mike Bloomberg stood with Al Sharpton following the shooting death of Sean Bell, which was not even a racial incident. So, why is that? Why don’t Jews have such a...

Relax Contessa! Just get on your knees and well, you know, apologize. Jesse, Al, Jesse, Al, what's the difference right? Jesse despises Contessa, remember she's white, so there is no need for her to get down on her knees and well, you know, apologize, as if he's going to mug her. The look on her face! It was as if Contessa was thinking, 'I'm so so sorry Mr. Black man, It wasn't my fault, I swear. I have oppressed you enough already and am responsible for all the problems in the black community and feel so bad for what my...

Around 2:30pmET this afternoon, MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer was introducing a segment on unemployment and brought in her guest: "Joining me now to talk about this and the nation's real problem of joblessness, the Rev. Al Sharpton..." One problem: Brewer was interviewing the Rev. Jesse Jackson. And he made her aware of that fact. "I'm Rev. Jesse Jackson." "Right. I'm so sorry," said Brewer. "The script in front of me said Rev. Al Sharpton. I'm looking at your face. I know who you are, Rev. Jackson, we all do. I'm sorry."

The Rev. Al Sharpton is ready for a Rush to judgment. The civil rights leader, typically impervious to insults, said Saturday that he will sue Rush Limbaugh for defamation unless he gets an apology from the right-wing radio host. Sharpton was outraged by a Limbaugh op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal that blamed him for the 1991 Crown Heights riot and a 1995 killing spree at a Harlem store. "I am definitely going to prove he makes reckless, unaccountable statements," Sharpton said. "Which is why he was forced out of buying an NFL team in the first place." Limbaugh...

For the past several days the airwaves, particularly those of the MSM, have been full of news concerning Rush Limbaugh's being part of a consortium of business men wanting to purchase the St. Louis Rams football team. You would have thought Satan was wanting to take over St. Louis and all sorts of ridiculous stories and attacks were being levied against Limbaugh. Rush was painted with the common brush of "racist." Black Players, the NFL Players Union spokes person, Al Sharpton, owners and even the commissioner chimed in on the matter saying that they would not tolerate Limbaugh's being a...

Say you're sorry, Rush - or the the Rev. Al Sharpton is suing. The civil rights activist, angered by a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece written by Rush Limbaugh, threatened a defamation lawsuit Saturday against the conversative talk radio host. "Unless Mr. Limbaugh apologizes and clarifies his statements, attorneys for Rev. Sharpton will move forward with a lawsuit," said a statement from Sharpton. Limbaugh lashed out at Sharpton over his failed attempt to purchase a piece of the St. Louis Rams. Sharpton "played a leading role in the 1991 Crown Heights riot (he called neighborhood Jews 'diamond merchants') and 1995...

Ringleading a notorious dog fighting ring wasn't enough to prevent Michael Vick from being welcomed back into the National Football League’s fold. Likewise, his involvement in a fatal drunk driving accident probably won't prevent Donte Stallworth's eventual return to the league. So it strikes me as more than a little ridiculous that the league thinks it is too good for Rush Limbaugh. In case you haven’t heard, Limbaugh was just dropped from a group trying to purchase the St. Louis Rams, following a fuss about his inclusion in the deal. Dave Cheketts, the leader of the group aiming to buy...

Media Bias: Not long after pro football welcomed a convicted felon back on the playing field, Rush Limbaugh is dropped for his opinions from a group seeking to buy an NFL franchise. Won't someone throw a flag? When even Keith Olbermann says back off, you know the politically correct critics of the conservative icon and megaradio talk host's proposed part ownership of the St. Louis Rams are guilty of piling on. The prospect of the leading conservative voice in America participating in the purchase of a football team sent the liberal elites into cardiac arrest and into a frenzied campaign...

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark discusses Rush Limbaugh being denied a chance to be one of the owners of the St. Louis Rams. This wasn't a big deal until Al Sharpton came around and started lambasting him for being a conservative. This is more than just ownership of a football team, this is about liberty and being able to participate in this society as a legal citizen, and Rush is being denied that. So, Mark brings up some of Al Sharpton's past shady dealings and asks where was the outrage against him back then? He also calls Al Sharpton...

Al Sharpton issued a statement this evening claiming a "moral victory for all Americans" on the dropping of Rush Limbaugh as part of a group of investors seeking to buy the NFL St. Louis Rams franchise.The AP reported Sharpton's statement and a follow up comment he made in an interview:"It is a moral victory for all Americans — especially the players that have been unfairly castigated by Rush Limbaugh," Sharpton said in a statement. "This decision will also uphold the unifying standards of major sports." Sharpton added in a telephone interview that major sports leagues shouldn't welcome owners who are...

Here is video of Ann Coulter debating Al Sharpton on President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. This debate occurred over the weekend on Geraldo's show. Coulter said she is surprised the Nobel Committee is not being accused of "racism" for waiting as long as they did to give him the award! Sharpton essentially admitted he has been given the award for being a "transformative" figure in winning the election in 2008 and setting a different "tone." Coulter interpreted Sharpton's statement "transformative," to mean because Obama is a black man. Coulter asked if Obama is going to receive a "Tony...

Here we go again, the man who will go anywhere there's a camera is now going after Rush Limbaugh, here is a copy of the letter released today...

Rev. Al Sharpton pleaded with the National Football League on Monday to deny conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh the opportunity to buy the St. Louis Rams franchise. In a letter sent to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Sharpton wrote that he was “disturbed” to hear about Limbaugh’s interest in the Rams and asked for a meeting with Goodell “to discuss the myriad of reasons as to why [Limbaugh] should not be given an opportunity to do so.” Sharpton argued that Limbaugh has been “anti-NFL” in his comments about several of the league’s players, specifically naming Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks Donovan McNabb and...

What do the Rev. Al Sharpton, John Cena and Triple H have in common? They'll all be at Times Union Center in Albany for the latest installment of World Wrestling Entertainment's "Monday Night Raw." Sharpton? That Sharpton? Yes, the one and only minister and politician who has courted controversy over the years will be the guest host for the night's entertainment. Sharpton at the microphone, of course, is nothing new: He spoke at Michael Jackson's memorial service recently and has his own radio show, which can be heard at http://www.sharptontalk.net/.

Rev. Al Sharpton Issues Statement Explaining Why He Is Hosting WWE Raw Newsday's Alfonso Castillo recently contacted Rev. Al Sharpton, in regards to his guest host spot on Raw. His spokeswoman responded with the following comment… "In order to raise awareness and actually do something about the devastating achievement gap in education between kids of color and their white peers the viewership of WWE events is precisely the group of people who need to be reached and involved. Reverend Sharpton has stated repeatedly that all of us must take extraordinary steps to reverse the current trend in education and that...

The story in a nutshell: Bertha Lewis is the CEO of ACORN. In a review of Lewis’s contacts list, which was leaked to RedState, Bertha Lewis has the office, cell phone, home number, and private personal email address of Patrick Gaspard. Patrick Gaspard holds Karl Rove’s position in the White House and was Obama’s Political Director during the campaign. In addition to Patrick, Bertha has Patrick’s brother Michael in her rolodex. She lists Michael as working at the Advance Group. The Advance Group is ACORN’s lobbying organization. In other words, besides having Obama’s political director’s contact info, the political director’s...

Here is video of Ann Coulter and Al Sharpton on "Geraldo at Large" talking about Michael Steele's comments on Obama asking David Paterson not to run in 2010. Al Sharpton said "if I had taken the position that Michael Steele took I'd be accused of playing the race card." Ann Coulter said "the Democratic Party is racist" and used as evidence the way they have treated New York Governor David Paterson. (Video)

Twenty years after the 1989 murder of black teenager Yusuf Hawkins by a white mob in Bensonhurst, the Rev. Al Sharpton joined the victim’s family and friends at the Brooklyn cemetery where he is buried. ...Two years from now will mark the 20th anniversary of the murder of Jewish rabbinical student Yankel Rosenbaum during the Crown Heights riot – which Sharpton helped instigate. ... The Stiletto will have to wait another two years to learn how Sharpton plans to commemorate Rosenbaum’s murder, seeing as how he protested civil rights charges being brought against his killer. [NOTE: There was media bias...

Obama Hates the White man ... an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil. – Luke 6:45 Barack Obama hates white people – especially white men. Sorry folks, but the truth will set you free! Why else would Obama falsely accuse Sgt. James Crowley and other Cambridge Police officers of "racial profiling" and claim they "acted stupidly" – creating a national racial controversy? For months, I have said that Barack Obama was elected as a result of white fear (guilt) and black racism. Whites voted for him because of guilt and...

Ann Coulter and Rev. Al Sharpton debate racial profiling and the arrest of Professor Gates by Sgt. Crowley.

FROM DCRTV.COM (Mailbag) -- Syndication One News-Talk Network's talk show host Al Sharpton debates Right-Winger Ann Coulter tonight on CNN's Larry King show. Rev. Al Sharpton states: "Tonight's debate on CNN's Larry King show with Right-Winger Ann Coulter is important because we have an opportunity to show what America is thinking in 2009. From the beginning of the Obama campaign, announced in the land of Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois a few years ago, outright hardcore racism has raised its gly head in the media, the streets of America, and in our American Institutions. We must stop and come together as...

Here is video of the Rev. Al Sharpton today weighing in on the arrest of Henry Louis Gates last week and saying it may not be a case of "racial profiling," but rather a case of "abuse of power" by the officer. Sharpton repeatedly pointed out that the charges against the Professor were dropped, assuming that means there is not merit to the arresting officer's case. Sharpton denied the professor had engaged in racial profiling by assuming the officer was a "racist" from the time he arrived at the professor's home. . . . . . (Watch Video)

<p>Where are the defenders of "the cause" when you need them? When an actual social tragedy occurs, where are the self-titled leaders of the black movement? I'll answer my own question: They're busy fighting for an interview or a microphone during all of the Michael Jackson festivities.</p>

On a recent radio show hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton, a caller phoned in with a theory about Michael Jackson's death. He blamed Sarah Palin. Yes, according to the caller, "maybe she did something to Michael Jackson," and "maybe she's stepping down because something's about to come out." Now, crazy people calling into radio shows isn't news — I used to call "Loveline" 20 times a night, just to complain about the pixies living in my teeth. But I love Sharpton's response. He said, "All right.... that's interesting. I'll put it out, we'll see. I don't know."

Al Sharpton is a professional bigot who has fanned the flames of hatred and have incited killings. At Freddies, a store in Harlem, he manufactured a riot where a crowd torched the store killing the workers inside, and during the Crown Heights Pogrom where he lit flames under the African American community that led to the death of Yankel Rosenbaum. The "Wrong-Reverend" has made a career of using bigotry to promote Al Sharpton. While a real minister would build bridges across ethnic divides, Sharpton burns them. To be honest he is a master at it. By fanning the flames of...

"Those young kids grew up from being teenage comfortable fans of Michael to being 40 years old and being comfortable to vote for a person of color to be the president of the United States of America.”

Al Sharpton delivered an emotional defense of Michael Jackson at the memorial services Tuesday. The event, held at the famed Staples Center, featured performances from several music heavyweights. Sharpton, addressing Jackson's children directly, defended what some would deem 'strange' behavior by Michael Jackson in his later years.

What does it take to be considered strange in Al Sharpton’s book? I’d really like to know. Cause if Michael Jackson doesn’t qualify, then the Reverend Al most know some seriously out-there dudes. Speaking at the Staples Center service today, Sharpton, addressing himself to Jackson’s children, declared: “Wudn’t nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with.” View video here.

Pool Photographer/Getty Images The keys to Michael Jackson's kingdom have just been ripped from his mother's hands. Over the objections of Katherine Jackson, a Los Angeles probate judge today ruled that Michael Jackson's 2002 will is indeed valid and that, per the King of Pop's wishes, attorney John Branca and veteran music executive John McClain are executors of his estate. Lawyers for Jackson's mother wanted Judge Mitchell Beckloff to delay the decision. One of her lawyers, John Schreiber, argued that "there is concern over handing over the keys to the kingdom so quickly." Her attorneys also suggested that because McClain...

The second stage of this mourning exercise begins with the arrival of the major-league scam artists. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, have landed and even now are erecting competing circus tents. Rev. Al, always on the scout for the racial slight, says, "Michael Jackson made culture accept a person of color way before Tiger Woods, way before Oprah, way before Barack Obama." Mr. Jesse hints at what's coming next. "The family has questions ... There is concern about what happened the last 12 hours of Michael's life ... the doctor did not confer with the family ... he was missing...

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- The five remaining defendants in the racially charged "Jena Six" case will appear in court Friday and are expected to enter a plea, a spokesman for the district attorney's office said. Protesters converged on the small Louisiana town in September 2007 after the "Jena 6" were charged. Bill Furlow, spokesman for LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters, declined to say whether the defendants will plead guilty. "It's not a done deal until it's a done deal," he said. In December 2006, six African-American teenagers were charged with second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy in the beating...

Al Sharpton met with the recently released Uighurs and had this to say: "we know more about what they're doing more than we do know about our neighbors and I think it is outrageous for people to take that position. Especially when you're looking at the fact that these men have done seven years for no reason, the world should be apologetic and want to come accommodate their resettlement rather than act like they are some undesirables."

"Only Al Sharpton could consider a $285,000 Federal Election Commission fine - one of the heftiest such penalties ever - a 'vindication,' " the New York Post says in an editorial. "That's because the FEC originally sought to hit him for a cool half-million for financial sleight-of-hand arising from his 2004 presidential campaign." "His lawyers managed to knock the fine down to a more manageable amount, just as they struck a sweetheart deal with the feds last summer that cut his $1.8 million bill for unpaid back taxes almost in half and avoided criminal prosecution. "Of course, Sharpton still owes...

The Reverend Al Sharpton must be running out of things to protest, today he went after Sheriff Joe Arpaio. According to a report by Reuters, the opportunist Sharpton, called on Sheriff Joe to resign accusing him of racially profiling Hispanics because of his attempts to enforce US immigration laws: Under a deal allowing them to enforce federal immigration laws, the deputies have arrested more than 1,500 people who they determined were in Arizona illegally, triggering street protests and condemnation from Latino activists who accuse him of racial profiling."I am first calling for the resignation and or removal of Sheriff Arpaio...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. civil rights activist Al Sharpton weighed into a fight over an Arizona sheriff's immigration sweeps on Tuesday, accusing him of racially profiling Hispanics and urging him to step down. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has dispatched deputies into Hispanic communities in the Phoenix area, where they stop people and arrest anyone who cannot prove he or she is a legal U.S. resident. Under a deal allowing them to enforce federal immigration laws, the deputies have arrested more than 1,500 people who they determined were in Arizona illegally, triggering street protests and condemnation from Latino activists...

Obama is already showing mental and emotional fatigue - won't last another term with this weak display of performance. There is no doubt he wouldn't last another term of the presidential spotlight. The democrats will have pay a high price for his lack of 'savvy skills' thus the demise of the party.

When the New York Post went ape in a cartoon, the enemies of freedom and equality showed their colors. Apparently the time has come to silence all critics of President Obama! He is the leader of our country and must not be questioned! Therefore, anyone who dares to make a critical reference to him or any of his policies is an enemy of the United States and should be destroyed. Furthermore, every word or phrase used to challenge his authority will be meticulously parsed to discover hidden meanings. As for Rupert Murdoch, the News Corp Chairman, who recently apologized for a cartoon at his...

We may just run this same story every week and just change the name of the Democrat tax dodger. This week’s criminal is Al Sharpton. Excuse us, the Reverend Al Sharpton. The Internal Revenue Service has issued subpoenas to Sharpton’s largest corporate donors. They say Sharpton, his various businesses and non-profit groups owe millions in back taxes. Brewer Anheuser-Busch has received a subpoena as part of the IRS’ investigation of Sharpton’s National Action Network. The corporation admits that it “donated” between $100,000 and $499,000 to the group in 2007. Sources say other large corporate donors will also be subpoenaed. As...

The Post cartoon showed the bullet-riddled body of a chimp, shot by two cops with one of the officers stating: "They'll have to find someone else...

This is one of those instances that force me to come clean. On Friday, I predicted that the re-emergence of the deplorable and wholly repugnant Reverend Al Sharpton onto the public stage would be short-lived - perhaps a couple of days at best - once America remembered how entirely irrelevant he really is.I was wrong ... and I wish to extend both my apologies and some cherry Maalox chewables to those who put any validity in my assertion.The race-baiting, riot-inciting, hateful, "civil rights" windbag - who is often far from civil and hardly ever right - is in full...

Because I am a loyal and proud American and because, I believe, I am a person of goodwill, the post I have written here causes me much distress. I did not support Obama, and I do not support the left-wing ideas he wishes to advance; for example, I want him to fail in his ideas to impose a national healthcare program or to spread the wealth through federal coercion. On the other hand, I do not want him to fail in taking steps to bring us out of the housing, banking and credit crisis we are in, nor do I...

[image] Reverend Al Sharpton if offended, horrified, and absolutely disgusted that a New York Post political cartoon compared – in his mind – Barack Obama to a monkey. And that comparison is RACIST. Seemed to us that we’d seen numerous cartoons and PhotoShopped images comparing former President Bush to monkeys. So we did a few Google Image searches. “Bush” and “simian” generated 38,000 images. “Bush” and “baboon” got 46,300. “Bush” and “orangutan” got 48,800. “Bush” and “chimpanzee” got 132,000. “Bush” and “ape” got 170,000. “Bush” and “chimp” got 182,000. “Bush” and “gorilla” got 356,000. “Bush” and “monkey” got 1,220,000.
