An Open Letter to Al Sharpton re: Rush Limbaugh
IsraPundit ^ | 10/18/09 | Bill Levinson

Posted on 10/18/2009 2:11:11 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

Al Sharpton,

We read that you threatened to sue Rush Limbaugh for saying that you played a leading role in the 1991 Crown Heights riots and the riot at Freddy’s Fashion Mart in 1995. We are not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, but you are not going to sue anybody; you are going squeal like a schoolyard bully whose victim has struck him back while Rush Limbaugh does what should have been done in 1988. He will demolish you as a public figure, and quite possibly take your National Action Network down in the bargain, by exposing your long history of racist and anti-Semitic hate speech. We have done our best to do this ourselves, but our voice does not have quite the reach of Rush Limbaugh’s. When he finishes with you, no political figure in his right mind will appear at your organization as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards did in 2007, any more than they would appear at a cross-burning by the Ku Klux Klan.

You know from personal experience that a false and malicious accusation of a crime is libel, because a civil trial found you guilty of defaming an attorney in Wappingers Falls. Rush Limbaugh did not, however, accuse you of a crime. There are many non-criminal ways, including hate speech that does not meet the legal standard for “incitement to riot” in which you can be “involved” with a violent hate crime. Unless the Wall Street Journal and publications of similar stature fabricated identical stories out of whole cloth, you were indeed involved with racist and anti-Semitic hate crimes.

[Continue to read about Tawana Brawley, Freddy's Fashion Mart, and the rest of Sharpton's history. Remember, Barack Obama and SEIU President Andy Stern appeared with this professional hate-monger.]

Please correct me if I am wrong, but was it Booker T. Washingon in the 1800’s who warned of a group of freed slaves who would try to profit off their misery because they could not qualify for jobs or admission to college?

You are correct...

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well."

I saw on anonther thread that someone used the phrase “If you wish for peace, prepare for war”. As to our feelings for Rush, I would say: Pray for his total victory, prepare for something less.

“As to our feelings for Rush, I would say: Pray for his total victory, prepare for something less.”

“Something less” = the National Action Network is, politically speaking, a heap of smoking rubble as opposed to glowing Hiroshimite (a mineral first created at Alamogorodo in 1945)?

I wish I could believe this, but the DNC/Media/Acadamia complex is so corrupt, its hypocricy so raw and blatant, that I doubt they would bat an eye while inviting to represent them on the topic of race relations.

I mean, look who they carried across the finish line last November.

There truly is NO honor among progressives.

I think the 1 thing Al Sharpton has forgotten is the fact RUSH has never said the word SORRY. Ask ESPN and Donovan McNabb. Al will just have to sue. I wish Rush would sue him first for slander.
