Today, The Washington Free Beacon picked up an incredible soundbite of MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton misspelling the late great Aretha Franklin's classic lyric, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T," as he attempted to lambaste President Donald J. Trump for saying that former White House staffer Omarosa Maginault Newman was "fired like a dog."
Rev. Sharpton began by noting how often President Donald J. Trump loves to use the term “fired like a dog” or some variation of it, such as saying “Sally Yates choked like a dog” during her Senate confirmation hearing. He even highlighted how the President referred to Steve Bannon, who is often vilified as being racist by the left, with the canine description. But then, he seems to insinuate the president called Omarosa a dog out of some sort of racial animosity. Sharpton reminds his audience that President Trump stated last year he would tell any National Football League coach to “get that son of a b*tch off the field” who was kneeling for the national anthem if he was an owner. Sharpton notes the athletes kneeling out or protest were predominantly African American players.
However, Sharpton believes the president might have met his match with Omarosa. “I think you might’ve learned the lesson this week, sometimes the dog bites back with a book deal," Sharpton said. “And while we’re talking about female canines, you know what they say about say about payback, it ‘s a real, well I’m sure you know the word I’m thinking of."
"So in the words of my late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R-E-S-P-I-C-T, and the next time you get a black woman and a beagle confused, remember this: I got you," Sharpton warned. (emphasis added)
Al Sharpton messes up spelling name of legendary Aretha Franklin song: 'R-E-S-P-I-C-T'
Some may blame this mishap on the teleprompter and a simple mistake in front of the camera. If that is the case, it should be noted this is not the first time his team has had communication issues. Readers might remember in 2011, Sharpton gave a rallying call of "Resist we much. we must. And we will much. About that be committed," to fellow progressives on the night of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's recall election.
Folks forget that BarryBama also had a problem spelling R-S-P-E-C-T . . .

I realise it has probably been beaten to death but Dan Quayle didn’t misspell the word.
I went to a small county school and we were taught to spell it potatoe and tomatoe.
Somewhere along the line it was dumbed down.
Just like everything else.
If Sharpton is a reverand then I’m the fricken pope.
Imagine him in school, a near idiot floundering as he tries to keep up with the elementary school classmates and then middle school, causing fights and disturbances during class, stealing from every boy who goes into the boys’ restroom. (I personally knew a coworker whose son had to pay a classmate black thug for going there—and the principal said he would do nothing:”We do not want a racial incident reputation in this school.”)
Then passed ahead in classes by social promotion and getting one affirmative action civil rights hire and promotion and set aside after another. Finally joining Jesse Jackson in demanding extortion money from companies who pay to get off black boycott lists and have their reputations restored as non-racist white companies as the extortionists get richer and richer.
“I realise it has probably been beaten to death but Dan Quayle didn’t misspell the word. I went to a small county school and we were taught to spell it potatoe and tomatoe.”
Ditto. They’re accepted spellings. At least they were 50 years ago.
Yes. Once again, he was handed a printed card to read as told to read, not make up his rejoinder to correct them. So he did it.
Luckily we don’t hold anti-liberal grudges for more than 50 or 75 years. Then we forgive, maybe.
Egads, I might even be approaching maturity these days. Heaven forfend.
Axe him to spell ask.
Nice Al, now pay your taxes.

LOL! It’s beyond the ignorant bastards capability.
At least he didn’t refer to his “late friend Eric Clapner.”
I didn't forget. Thanks for posting it!
RESPICT muh spelling Authority!!!
“Respict”, hmmm contains “spic”.
The Latinos should be all up in arms about this.
His back taxes were forgiven when he became a Stoolie for the FBI.
K-A-R-M-A
“His back taxes were forgiven when he became a Stoolie for the FBI.”
With the corruption in the IRS, DOJ and FBI, you are probably correct.

Isn’t Respict racist? Local Hispanics want to know, Al “Free Buffet, Burn out the Korean grocers” Sharpton!
What's all the surprise about?
What would be amazing about AL Sharpie is if he could actually spell a word with more than 4 letters... in cursive.
Sharpton spells everything M.O.N.E.Y
