President Obama is lending his political support to fellow community organizer Al Sharpton by headlining the MSNBC host’s National Action Network (NAN) conference this week in New York. Obama’s choice to headline the conference underscores the close ties of the two leaders and provides an increased sense of political legitimacy to the controversial leader and his much-maligned organization.
Sharpton’s conference is held in April "not just to commemorate the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, but to honor his legacy by proactively engaging in dialogue that will spawn change." The NY Daily News reports that along with President Obama, the conference will feature other high-profile liberal leaders, including US Attorney General Eric Holder, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Over the years Sharpton’s organization has been accused of engaging in questionable financial practices, including using the threat of boycotts to extort donations from corporations and land Sharpton consultant positions. As the New York Post reported in 2008, nearly 50 companies—including GM, Pepsi and Wal-Mart, and some labor unions—had donated to NAN. The NY Post attributes many of these donations to extortionist tactics:
Terrified of negative publicity, fearful of a consumer boycott or eager to make nice with the civil-rights activist, CEOs write checks, critics say, to NAN and Sharpton – who brandishes the buying power of African-American consumers.” In some cases, they hire him as a consultant.
(Incidentally, one of the panel discussions for this year’s conference is “How Can Corporations Collaborate to Affect Change in the Community.”)
As Breitbart News reports, Sharpton’s organization was charged in 2006 by the IRS for improperly reporting taxes. The organization still owes the federal government $1.9 million in back taxes and penalties.

President Obama is attending a rally held by a known antisemite, Al “Jew them down” Sharpton. Can he be forced into resigning like the internets did to the CEO of Firefox?
How about in the wake of his pal Jay-Z (who has held Obama fundraisers) sporting a black supremacist “Five Percent Nation”) medallion.?
Help them like you did Sink in Florida and their businesses like you did with Solyndra. Help them to promote Obamacare fervently in their campaigns. And let America know that you want Gays in every family and will do anything to make that happen including the suppression of traditional marriage.
Please, President Obama, just be yourself. Just be yourself completely and make the American people know the Democratic party is firmly in your grasp and is with you.
Again, “The One”, who was to symbolize an ‘all-inclusive’ America, shows his true Negroid-only take on America.
This administration and its sycophants have so divided the races now that it will take another of Martin King’s stature to start the repairs needed. Obama is national destruction on steroids.
They both have fleas, so there will be no further spread of vermin.
This ought to be good now that Al has been outted as flipping on the mob.
I doubt slick Als life is worth much these days.
We are now seeing the bastardization of America. zippy the a##clown, the tawan brawley pezhead and the chump complete the trifecta. These 3 haters will do irreparable damage to the foundations of this country and the funny thing is the majority of its people are not paying any attention
