Disgusting demagogue Sharpton leads “Kill the Police” rally: When will media and politicos disavow this agent of hate?
Shame on every enabler who has aided and abetted Al Sharpton’s campaign to mainstream, enrich, and advance himself as a “civil rights leader” for decades despite his lying, poisonous, police-hating, crime-coddling, race-hustling agenda.
Shame on the Democrat Party, which has embraced him and honored him with the stage at the Democrat National Convention, and every Democrat presidential candidate who has flocked to kiss his ring.
Shame on President Bush, who welcomed him at the White House in December.
Shame on every cable TV station and talk show host that has given this cretin oxygen and unlimited airtime.
Shame on Pat Robertson and Al Gore for teaming up with him to peddle global warming crap and boost his bogus image as a benign celebrity do-gooder.
Sharpton took some time off schmoozing and dining with all of his assorted shameless friends this weekend to lead a “Kill the Police” rally and threatened to shut down NYC over the acquittal of New York City police officers–including two black officers–in the Sean Bell case. Sharpton’s thugs marched through Harlem with KKK hoods labeled “NYPD.” AP has the news of Sharpton’s demagoguery in full flower:
Hundreds of angry people marched through Harlem on Saturday after the Rev. Al Sharpton promised to “close this city down” to protest the acquittals of three police detectives in the 50-shot barrage that killed a groom on his wedding day and wounded two friends.
“We strategically know how to stop the city so people stand still and realize that you do not have the right to shoot down unarmed, innocent civilians,” Sharpton told an overflow crowd of several hundred people at his National Action Network office in the historically black Manhattan neighborhood. “This city is going to deal with the blood of Sean Bell.”
Sharpton was joined by the family of 23-year-old Sean Bell — a black man — and a friend of Bell who was wounded in the 2006 shooting outside a Queens strip club. Two of the three officers charged were also black.
The rally at Sharpton’s office was followed by a 20-block march down Malcolm X Boulevard and then across 125th Street, Harlem’s main business thoroughfare, where some bystanders yelled out “Kill the police!”
Watch how quickly Sharpton’s apologists argue that he can’t control what a few “bystanders” say. Watch how quickly they argue that Sharpton does not espouse violence.
Bullcrap.
How conveniently they forget. This is the original racist Reverend of Hatred’s bread and butter:
1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor. Pagones is wholly innocent — the crime never occurred — but Sharpton taunts him: “If we’re lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it.” Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation. To this day, Sharpton refuses to recant his unspeakable slander or to apologize for his role in the odious affair.
1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin’s funeral he rails against the “diamond merchants” — code for Jews — with “the blood of innocent babies” on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, “No justice, no peace.” A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, is surrounded by a mob shouting “Kill the Jews!” and stabbed to death.
1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy’s Fashion Mart, Freddy’s white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensues; Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. “We will not stand by,” he warns malignantly, “and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.” Sharpton’s National Action Network sets up picket lines; customers going into Freddy’s are spat on and cursed as “traitors” and “Uncle Toms.” Some protesters shout, “Burn down the Jew store!” and simulate striking a match. “We’re going to see that this cracker suffers,” says Sharpton’s colleague Morris Powell. On Dec. 8, one of the protesters bursts into Freddy’s, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.
If Sharpton were a white skinhead, he would be a political leper, spurned everywhere but the fringe. But far from being spurned, he is shown much deference. Democrats embrace him. Politicians court him. And journalists report on his comings and goings while politely sidestepping his career as a hatemongering racial hustler.
Jeff Jacoby wrote that in 2003. Last December, when the Washington Post wrote another in an endless series of gushing profiles whitewashing Al Sharpton’s lies and crimes, I wrote:
He derives his role in large part because of the MSM’s continued need for minority charlatans to provide demagogic soundbites and deliver good ratings for the cable clown shows…Some readers wonder why I continue to write about the Sharpton-MSM lovefest. Why? Because the enablers deserve to be held responsible and shamed publicly until they stop.
Cut him off.

Any doubts as to who would really be the source of riots in Denver–Rev. Al or Limbaugh?
Michelle, get with it, it’s the 21st century. Blacks are allowed to be bigots.
John McCain told me so.
Whenever A.S is on Fox- I quickly off the TV.
Same with J.J.
I dislike hustlers of ANY COLOR!
I quickly turn off…
Yeh well, I’m originally from Wappingers and Tawana Brawley went to my High School.
We all know Tawana was at a four day drug party across the river in Newburgh. They [Sharpton] said she was an honors student and a cheerleader but she was really a lowlife. Thanks Al you putz for imbuing my hometown. You’re a pathetic race-baiting monster.
What? Bill O’Reilly thinks the Rev. is just fine. Like Ayers, people evolve. Tawana Brawley and the Hasidic Jews incidents were long ago. Did the Rev. ever pay that judgement in the Brawley case? Sharpton, Obama and Wright are birds of a feather- racist scumwads imho. And yes, if you say anything negative about the racebaiters or merely play back their own words, then you are a typical white racist.
Ayers should have been put in the electric chair. O’Reilly speaks for no one except his $pon$or$.
I’m getting very scared for our future. There are MILLIONS of Americans who accept Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Jeremiah Wright and Jesus Obama, because they agree with a socialist ideologly.
Socialists/Libs, know no moral compass, and have no conscience. Power and control is their gig.
Rome (not the guy on ESPN) is burning!
I am truly living in an immoral existentialistic world…Is there no one with any stones beneath their loins with a position of power to stand up to this nonesense?
Are we going to be forced to seek third party candidates to have our voice heard?
This country is going nuts!
……….and to think, he’s depriving multiple people of some much need oxygen and several towns of idiots….yes, he is that big. What a windbag!!!
I think this is the part where liberals tell us of all the good things he has done in the hood.
I go back and forth. I wonder if most libs are blind, stupid or dishonest.
It seems to me that lefties are naive to those who prey on them and their constituencies. They go nuts over a piece of garbage that got shot by Police, yet they couldn’t give a flying hoot about all the carnage in America’s neighborhoods. It’s as if they need a cause to distract them from the filth that they live amongst or enable..
Ya think any Leftinistra will demand his prosecution for inciting to riot?
Personally I think he and Jeremiah “the bull frog Wright” should go on the pro-Wrestling circuit together. What a tag team. They could make a fortune!!
Oh, but, they ARE making a fortune.
What service is it that they provide their flocks? Love of God mayhaps?
It’s an issue that’s ripe for a shakedown; Sharpton’s cashing in- money, political concessions, hookers, whatever. The cops get acquitted and now the city is going to get taken hostage.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I’ve often wondered where Al Sharpton, having been involved in so many scams that did great harm to people, both to reputations and including bodily injury, gets all this power.
Hannity, O’Reilly and many others have given him legitimacy and deference. He’s a criminal and he hates white people.
I guess it’s just a sign of the times. Good becomes bad, bad becomes good, etc.
Orwell would have loved watching this guy do business.
Sharpton never gives a straight answer to a question. He always launches into a circular monologue that is dizzying and has nothing to do with the original question. And no one calls him on it.
And I think it’s only going to get worse, as long as we have university mills churning out the masses of Marxist-indoctrinated “journalists” and media folks that are fouling our TV screens and obscuring truth by legitimizing men like Al Sharpton.
sharlaton al should be in jail for the Freddies fashion mart murders. He is nothing but a white David Duke. I stopped watching FOX after I wrote them to not let this POS on and they ignored my request.
Hey Oreilly….how bout an expose on who is funding sharlaton!!!! I won’t hold my breath.
Rot in hell race baiter.
I find it hard to believe that there are people who still take this gasbag seriously. The sooner we marginalize him, the better off we will be.
“When will media and politicos disavow this agent of hate?”
Ms. Malkin, m’dear, I am certain you know the answer:
When the price for the Lefty’s to prop him up becomes too high. They’ll drop him, which will cause the MSM to drop him, which will cause their wholly-owned subsidiery, the Dem party to drop him.
The price could become too expensive in two ways:
1) whites cold grow a pair & refuse to be cowed, (unlikely)
or 2) blacks could decide to leave the plantation & man-up. (even more unlikely)
The cloying sweetness of spiritual slavery is perhaps too hard to leave – w/o something none of us can provide.
- martin.musculus
Why do I have the feeling that the only outcome that could have pleased Al Sharpton would have been one where only the non-black officer was found guilty?
If the two black officers had been convicted, Al would still be out protesting the Justice System’s unequal treatment of black people. He gets his protest and his publicity either way.
At what point do we stop the gravy train for Al, Jessie, Jeremiah, et al? His actions are just going to cause more people to lose there lives. When will the majority of Black America wake up to these phonies? Notice there is not a racism issue with this case, because the NYPD supervisor on site was also black.
While what happenend was trajic nothing is going to bring back Mr. Bell who was killed, so do we kill some more people to make up for it? Well Al, will that make you happy? Is this going to be another ransom demand to enrich your already overflowing bank accounts? A few more $2000 suits?
Some advice Al, why don’t you start preaching to the gang bangers, gangstas, and the stop snitching promoters in the hood about responsibility, good behavior, being a productive member of society, and stop promoting and glorifying criminal activity. Then the police may not be so on edge when they are working the hood. But Al won’t do this because his race baiting gravy train will come to an end.
I know the police are not perfect but these people are on guard with all the idiots out there wanting to kill them. These unfortunate events happen to people of all races. Yet, not all races will threaten to hold a city hostage over an event where there are no winners.
Whenever I see Al Sharpton come on TV, I put it on mute and go do something else until the next segment.
Seriously. Shame on O’Reilly and Hannity and Colmes for empowering this guy.
Another Obama supporter (while Sharpton “backs” Obama and has promised to do everything he can to help him win, he says he does not “endorse” Obama) helping the candidate.
Let’s see, Jeremiah Wright’s daughter, Jeri, is employed by Sharpton. Wonder if Jeremiah will weigh in on this.
I feel another limited “denouncement” coming.
Well done, Michele, for calling out Fox and O’reilly. I quit watching Fox more than a year ago for this reason. Could never understand why they toadied up to this racist bigot.
malkin_fan, you said Al “the kiddies Pal” Sharpton was like David Duke.
I disagree. What is it that David Duke was supposed to have done?
Seriously. I’m not defending David Duke, but please explain to me what Duke has done that is equal to Sharpton.
Maybe you meant thatSen. Robert Byrd Democrat WV, was like Sharpton…
Do you smell what I’m cooking?
Libocrat:
I agree, there is a lack of discrimination in people’s equations. People and deeds are set equal that are by no means so.
Unfortunately, I see no help for it. I’ve been reading what passes for textbooks today… ;-( You simply wouldn’t believe. They are being imbued w/a hate for this country and our civilization that will most probably consume it.
I’m old. It breaks my heart to see what my grandchildren are going to have to live through. We were asleep at the switch – we should have jacked those misbegotten “flower-children”‘s collective keisters up over their shoulders. I think that we are just too too late.
That doesn’t give us an excuse for not doing our best, as we’ll be judged on if we go down passively or fighting.
- martin.musculus
..need to do a lot more than just ‘cut him off’. This guy is one of the most extreme racists in America, and is responsible for inciting violent civil disobedience many many times, which in some cases has lead directly to murder. Al Sharpton (I REFUSE to address someone so inherently evil with the title of Reverend) is the black version of the KKK Grand Wizard, however this a55hat apparently operates above the law – mainly because anyone who tries to prosecute him will immediately be labeled a racist, with absolutely no regard to the truth. This POS is EVIL.
Musculus, I’ve read your comments for a long time. Long before I ever chimed in. Our schools and our textbooks are controlled by teachers unions, liberal school boards, and are written by liberals ..by and large.
The very liberals I am citing, would deny that they are liberal. They are progressive or they are “for the children”. Musculus, your thoughts mean a great deal to me. I am middle aged. I graduated from college in ’83.
I have always been patriotic. I have always “cared” for my brother-man, and I have always despised the SICKNESS we call Socialism. Socialism is the liberals opiate. If I/we can’t have what others have, we’ll take what they have and we’ll be happy, successful and even in life. Life doesn’t work that way. “Tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more”. (Alvin Lee)
Democrats are beholding to nearly every freakish group, union or misfit, that wants YOU and I, to make them middle class happy and content.
Rodham decried Pharmeceutical Co’s and Oil Co’s last week. She rips the very companies that Teachers Union 401k’s and pensions are invested in. And the evil Oil Co’s, make less per dollar invested in them, than McDonalds, or Starbucks does. Rodham isn’t THAT stupid. I mean, she was a WAL-MART board member, she did make a unGodly fortune on cattle futures, and her 35 years of Public Service did make her tens of Million$ of Dollar$ that she then lent to her campaign.
My last thought Musculus. Rodham and her Co-President husband, PARDONED FALN TERRORISTS and WEATHER UNDERGROUND murderous terrorists.
Obama’s TWENTY YEAR LONG SPIRITUAL MENTOR and Uncle figure is a AMERICA HATER. He hasn’t been quoted out of context. What context could…Garlic Nosed Eye-talian have? Not to mention, his comments on Jews and God-damning America. Jesus Obama is FRIENDS/neighbors/and on boards with William Ayers and his terrorist wife Bernadine Dohrn, BOTH OF WHOM have been embraced by the ULTRA LEFT UNIVERSITY establishment. U of Chicago and Northwestern.
Musculus, YOU and I, understand these freaks completely. But unfortunately those who are following us, vis public schools and unPatriotic useless parents don’t see the world from our prism.
There are millions who don’t think Wright is disgusting.
That saddens me.
My nephew in Iraq, USMC has already been wounded once, at 20. He understands and serves.
Unfortunately, I also agree that it appears Americans, in general, don’t have the balls to marginalize/shut out hacks like Sharpton.
God bless our police.
Oh come on! Shartpon’s cause is noble:
He wants all African-Americans and all liberals to share in the same rights as him:
Getting a free pass on rioting leading to murder, intolerance and making all whites feel guilty about things they had nothing to do with.
Simple me..I kinda figure that if ya dont want to get shot by a cop, ya dont try to run him over. But that’s me.
Sorry but after all the race baiting of the past 2 decades, the hypocracy, the embracing of black criminals by the black community (when most ethnic groups consider their criminals people to shun), the wild celebrations by the black community as OJ gets away with double murder, the constant harping by blacks about about “black on black” crimes, while they and the MSM hides the dirty little secret that blacks prey on whites in almost every crime category twenty fold compared to white on black crime, particulary in murder, robbery and rape,… etc etc etc…I just cant seem to muster an iota of concern over this verdict…it is the way it goes. Call me racist, I dont give a ****. And the only people that do care seem to be pandering spineless politicians. Facts are facts, and they speak volumes.
PS…for the life of me I cannot figure OReilly’s love affair with not only this race hustling demagogue, but also Geraldo Rivera.
Tawana Brawley claimed she had been repeatedly raped by a group of white men but:
1. She could provide no names or descriptions of her assailants.
2. She later told others that there had been no rape, only other kinds of sexual abuse.
3. Forensic tests found no evidence that a sexual assault of any kind had occurred.
4. There was no evidence of exposure to elements, which would be expected in a victim held for several days in the woods at a time when the temperature dropped below freezing at night.
5. On the morning after the alleged abduction, she was seen entering the empty apartment at the Pavillion Apartments where she had once lived.
6. Other witnesses claimed to have seen her at parties in a nearby town during the period when she was said to be missing.
7. She had no bruises, contusions, scratches or other injuries except for a small bruise behind the left ear, which was determined to be several days old.
8. One witness claimed to have seen her climb into the garbage bag in which she was found.
9. Her mother, Glenda Brawley, was spotted at the apartment complex shortly before Brawley was seen getting into the garbage bag.
10. The mother waited until that same afternoon to report Brawley as missing to the police.
11. The investigation turned up evidence that indicated damage done to Brawley’s clothing had occurred in the apartment.
12. According to the grand jury report, all of “the items and instrumentalities necessary to create the condition in which Brawley appeared on Saturday, November 28, were present inside of or in the immediate vicinity of Apartment 19A.”
13. The feces had come from a neighbor’s dog.
And this was THE “civil rights” case that put Al Sharpton on the map.
I have never seen America is such a state of racism as I see it now. After the 60′s, I feel there was more unity than I feel there is now. Look at the music alone, in the 60′s blacks and white both enjoyed the same music. Things have gotten worse.
Bring on the Obamas, their “Reverend”, other hateful “Reverends” that I never knew existed, legitimize Sharpton and letting everyone like Whoopi Goldberg and friends make racial comments is bringing tension to a boiling point. I am frightened to be honest. This all has opened my eyes. And I don’t like what I hear or see.
I did something about Al today.
I was listening to the news on the radio while driving. As soon as they mentioned his name in preparation for the sound bite, I switched channels. I do it every time he’s about to appear on the media. Now – if this could be multiplied by a few million….. if the broadcasters knew that the mere mention of his name caused a drop in audience….
It’s that easy.
If American society were a human body, people like Sharpton would be a lymphoma.
And one doesn’t need an MD to know you can’t excise a lymphoma by being nice to it or just leaving it alone for fear of other cells turning cancerous.
Those who cannot be mentioned for the bad taste they leave in the mouth are systematically and literally flushing the pro-active Chemo Therapist, God, out of our societal system. Ergo, we, as a society, are dying.
No?? Just look around you, look around.
Here’s another of those “anti-Christ” types. They call themselves reverends, persons of God and peace, yet spew out hatred and violence at every turn. They use Christianity in order to push their own religion of power and money. Apparently, they don’t believe in God, because if they did, they would know that Christianity teaches about a “day of judgement”. What are these hypocrites going to do then? Try to “Shut down Heaven” and call Christ a “racist”? It’s a shame that the House doesn’t have the guts to censor this guy.
Al “Sportin’ Life” Sharpton will always use something like this to his personal advantage. Let’s face it, if a perp was caught over a dead body, axe in hand, and than ran screaming toward police officers and was shot Al would STILL make a racial issue out of it if the perp was African American.
Right now, I’m listening to Rodham and Obama pontificating on America’s ills.
Rodham in her shrill tome is screeeching about Oil Companies and Pharmeceutical Companies.
They are Capitalistic ventures that employ Americans, and create Products that Americans need.
Rodham and Obama are suggesting that CAPITALISM is what is WRONG with America.
Both know better.
Both are wealthy.
Both understand Capitalism is the Machine that PAYS TAXES.
Both don’t care.
They are telling their percieved constituents abject and total bull sh!t.
Most libs are too stupid to see it.
As soon as Al Sharpton comes on TV…
I turn the channel!! As fast as can be.
I can’t stand him.
He is a disgusting excuse of a human being. Larry Elder writes more about him in his books (see his website) and Bernard Goldberg covers him in “110 people who are screwing up Amercia”.
Bill O’Reilly is pathetic the way he panders to Sharpton. He only shouts down and interrupts white people on his show.
I agree with a lot of the comments, but would like to point out; if you turn off the tv no one will know.
I watch a lot of FOX news. when Geraldo or “Rev” al come on I switch to msnbc. I really dislike that channel, but the powers that be watch ratings. If everyone in the country switched at the same time Rupert Murdock would see FOX spike down and msnbc spike up. MAYBE the hate mongers would be taken off the air.
Face it, he is just a discredit to his race. Like an earlier post, he just shouts people down and calls them what he really is, a racist.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I consider these actions to be terrorist threats.
He should be jailed for a very long time.
How and why he gets away with it is beyond me. Of course he never soils his own hands but manipulates others to do his dirty work.
He is scum.
“Rev. Al” has a lot to atone for. Many have describe his colorful civil rights career accurately.
One of my favorite Sharpton events was when a teenaged prodigy preacher offered his description of what Kwanzaa meant to his people. De-whitizing Christmas. To me, a Catholic, that statement was hateful.
I think it was Lincoln who said “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
Rev. Al will not get away with his racist antics forever.
Sharpton has appointed HIMSELF judge and jury in every case he in which he injects himself. If he is defending a murderous gang-member thug, the thug is innocent until proven guilty. Then he is innocent anyway…the verdict was racist!
If he is defending innocent victims of a crime by cops, the cops are guilty until proven guilty and, if not proven guilty, they are guilty anyway!
Judge, Jury and now Executioner!
All self-appointed.
He should be jailed for the numerous crimes he is committing just in this one case!
When this scumbag is knocking on deaths door and the good lord sends him packing in the other direction he’ll hold a press conference in hell and whine that even in death a black man can’t catch a break. He’s a pathetic POS.
Exactly, Michelle. I have wondered for a very long time why news outlets–even Fox–continue to provide this con man with a platform. To see this disgusting race hustler invoke King’s name in a way that King would surely reject is beyond belief.
Careful Michelle, your (X?) friend BillO will lump you into the category of smear. Remember he asked Sharpton about all of the smear campaigns against him and Sharpton was quick to agree how he has been unfairly criticized.
I applaud you for being “unafraid” to point this out. We have come to expect this from the MSM leftist media but it has become perfectly clear how far even Fox (BillO) has fallen from grace. Giving time to Sharpton is a bad idea. Worse though is forever begging for interviews while bending over backwards to be “fair”. All the while forgetting your stated purpose, the ever present “I’m looking out for you”.
Neither the leftist media nor the politicos will disavow big Al because they both suffer the same physical faults . . . the complete absence of spines and stomach organs (guts).
Notice any troll post here on Sharpton? There are none, because 2 of the 3 cops were black, yet the protestors carry signs about racist NYPD cops. Bullsh!t!
Michelle I support your article 1000%!
My big problem with the officers in the Sean Bell case was that they fired 50 shots!!
I mean, come on guys, don’t they teach marksmanship at the academy anymore?
sheesh
hmmm…we’re up to #47 here and still no trolls defending the
wonderful reverendhome-grown terrorist al sharpton. I figured freemind would have dropped in by now to tell us how thewonderful reverendhome-grown terrorist al sharpton is just misunderstood and taken out of context.And no, I didn’t catpitalize his name because I have utterly no respect for him.
I have one better. How about sending “Reverand” Al to Club Gitmo for inciting terrorism and leaving him to rot there.
Mooseman
I also switch the channel, but to a movie without commercials, when the hypocrite comes on Fox news. I’m watching less and less of that network as they slowly move to the left. Since the left took over the Congress, fox news has had twice the dems on as they had Replublicans. I wonder how much O donates to Al?
It should never be forgotten, even though the MSM would like us to, that there also was a jewish looking italian man, Anthony Graziosi, killed during the Crown Heights riots. Al’s trail of death should never be reduced and Mr. Graziosi should never be forgotten!
My favorite Sharpton moment was in a TV show where a kid was doing great in a video game. All of a sudden, this large gold chain wearing figure enters the video screen and blocks the path while spouting “blah, blah, blah“. The kid can’t get past him and yells “damn it, it’s Al Sharpton”. In frustration, he quits playing.
I believe in a firefight with multiple people shooting it is hard to know if your being shot at or just the police were shooting. 50 shots from a group I think can be explained, 50 shots from one guy one gun I believe may have been a problem. Reverend Al is scum and everyone knows it, but I’m betting alot of people make money from what he does. It is always about the money.
To top it off I bet Sharpton lives in a nice white neighborhood.
Black police officer = honorary white boy.
That is all that the vast majority of black new yorkers need to know to follow Sharpton to whatever hell he commands them. Sorry if that sounds racist but being a white boy I can’t breathe without being condemned as racist. Right Mr. McCain?
One thing we can say with absolute certainty is that there will be enormous pressure brought on the A.G. to prosecute these three officer’s for civil rights violations.
Would Bush the Ballless resist such a call?
What would McCain say in response to such pressure?
To ask these questions is to know the answers.
I watch Bill O’Reilley every night and last week he was going on about the race baiters Rev. Jeese Jackson, Rev Wright, ect. etc. Yet do you know whose name he forgot to add to that list. You got it the Rev Al(I hate all non- blacks) Sharpton. Then after his little tirade (Talking Points Memeo) With that Oh I’m going to get you if you keep it up. I’ll send Jesse one of my producers after you.
He even has called Sharpton a stand up guy… Because he comes on his show. This guy Sharpton is like a weed, these so called objective Analysts, Journalists (O’Rielly, Hanity, etc) what ever they want to call themslves, need to get some Ortho Weed-B-Gone and do some spraying of this weed Sharpton. That’s if they have a pair.
I just remembered one more example of the “reverend’s?” vile behavior that has been ignored by the NY press.
During one of his campaigns (pipe dreams?), he rented space in Brooklyn but didn’t pay the rent. When the landlord spoke up he was visited by a couple of large goons. He left the country and went into hiding in fear for his life.
undrseige247, the last I knew, he lived in Teaneck, New Jersey, which safely keeps his family several miles from the chaos he creates in NYC.
The Democratic party’s tolerance of race-baiters like Sharpton is precisely the reason a thinking individual should avoid becoming a Democrat. The political correctness and hatred for all things traditionally American is too much for me. The Republican Party is becoming the last bastion for citizens who embrace America’s proud legacy and traditions.
My prayers are always with law inforcement on account, in a split nanosecond they must make a desision that can alter their lives and the lives of their loving family. That desision will decide if they will be coming safely home to their loving families.
All these postings has me thinking, I need to get out in the yard do some weeding myself. Each weed I spary and pull I will think of the Rev. Sharpton.
In a vacuum, this sounds like a lot of shooting. And Sharpton would like to maintain that vacuum on information. But the facts of the incident tell another story.
While no weapon was found, a 4th man in the vehicle escaped, possibly taking the weapon or weapons with him. Perhaps more importantly, however, is the fact that Bell used his vehicle as a deadly weapon to try to run the officer down; not just once but TWICE. The use of a vehicle in such a manner is considered to be the employment of deadly force, and a response in kind by the police is more than justified.
There were multiple officers firing at the vehicle. The vehicle was not stopping (in point of fact, they tried a second time to run the officers down), so the officers kept firing to eliminate the threat. When shooting at a moving vehicle trying to run you over, chances are that a few of those shots are not going to incapacitate the driver.
From Heather McDonald:
And what do you think is going to happen if Obama loses the primary and/or the presidentcy??????????
Who cares how many rounds they fired? There’s no problem with firing 50 rounds. When you’re being shot at your highest priority is to kill the person that’s shooting at you. The more rounds you fire the higher the probability of a hit and that’s good. That idiot Sharpton is just trying to stir the pot and gain some advantage from the pandering bureaucrats and politicos
#43 zorro,
Actually, that quote was from P.T. Barnum. Funny. Both Barnum and Sharpton are trying to make money through deception, but Barnum also entertained and nobody got hurt.
Sounds like it’s time for the jerry and al show to begin — “Reverand’s on a Roll” brought to you by MSM and their sponsors.

“Hannity, O’Reilly and many others have given him [al sharpton] legitimacy and deference..” I agree. Hannity, O’Reilly and the like have become media whores. They draw attention to themselves by associating with crapweasels (stolen from Boomer) like al sharpton. Intially a fan of O’Reilly, it didn’t take me long to realize that he is not nearly as intelligent as he thinks. This conclusion is based partly on his persistent toadying up to geraldo and sharpton. I haven’t seen Michelle on the Factor in many moons…her absence seems to coincide with the increasing oder of “crapweasels” on the Factor.
No, Michelle is not on the Factor anymore–I think better of her for it. But, Mary Katherine is a regular??? I hear the Feds are looking for a case. Just another new level of stupidity for the Fed. Gov. Just when you think they can’t possibly get any more stupid….
I was waiting for this roach to come out of the woodwork after the trial results… Didn’t take very long at all!!! No surprises with this creep!!!
All this from that poverty-pimping race hustler Sharpton who just a few weeks ago endorsed pardoning the rape of black women as long as the perpetrators are also black. What kind of sick mind would ever give this guy any legitimacy?
And why in the hell don’t “Hate Crime” laws apply to him after his frequent calls for racial hatred and division?
Michelle, I’m so happy you decided to blog Sharpton’s kill the police demagoguery. It once again features what a racist Sharpton is, an O’Reilly kinda guy, and how Subculture law and order operates (what the court decides matters not take it to the street). In the long run, Sharpton’s effort would be better spent on Jamile’s Law rather than conditioning the field to sue the city for 100 million of which he will get 10% (it’s about the money).
If the police were so unconcerned about the general public, why have so many agencies staunchly refused to issue, or permit to be carried by their officers, handguns that carry a punch? Some agencies allow the use of .45′s, but most still rely on .38′s (not .357 Mags), and 9mm autos.
The bigger boom, the better the deterrent. The bigger the caliber, the better the knock-down power. The better the knock-down power, fewer shots are needed to do the job.
I don’t know what types of handguns the undercover police officers were carrying that fateful night, but I can almost guarantee that none of them had a hand cannon.
Suppose one or two officers in this incident had used larger caliber pistols, fired less that 12 shots, and blew one or two BIG holes in to the miscreant, Bell. Does anyone think that we wouldn’t have the anti-law enforcement, pro-criminal motormouths (eg: Sharpton), harping about over-kill?
This is a no win issue for those of use who desire law and order. Personally, I don’t care how the bad guy is killed. Be it by a .22, or .50 cal., dead is dead, and now there is one less criminal on the street, and one less degenerate to pass on his genes to another generation of thug.
Be assured of this, nothing good will come out of Sharpton and his gang of thugs. They will be empowered for a couple of days and then the economic reality of their destruction will surface.
… late to this thread as I’m on vacation in Utah and away from the NYC metro area. But many thanks Michelle for once again exposing this racist clown Sharpton. And thanks to all my fellow MM bloggers for your excellent “points made” on this thread. There is nothing I can think of to add that hasn’t been said other than I agree with you all 110%.
The MSM and Cable TV are most responsible for giving this race hustler a soapbox to sprew his venom. He is a con-artist and he has them conned.
…Remember and never forget the cheering and celebrating when OJ(murderer scumbag) was acquitted.
Now what would happen if, oh, I don’t know, let’s say a group of white men, dressed up as hip-hop “gangstas“, wearing labels that read “AMERICAN TERRORIST” or marched behind white leaders, shouting “Kill All Gangstas. For the good of society, kill ‘em all!”
What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander! You are either pro-civilization and anti-lawlessness, or you are not. I am for the former, and I don’t give a rat’s patootie what race, creed, color, or religious belief the criminal belongs. If you don’t contribute to a safe, secure environment, but just the opposite, then you deserve to reap what you sow. Good riddance, Sean Bell, and all those like you.
God bless our boys in blue.
Sharpton’s concern for victims would be touching if it weren’t so smarmily calculated. I’d still like to know where he and his minions are on the carjacking/kidnapping with two days of rape/torture and finally corpse mutilation perpetrated by blacks on white victims Channon Christian and Chris Newsom in Knoxville last year. A truly deafening silence!
Al Sharpton is a racist. He, like Jeremiah Wright, enjoys placing the white community on the hot seat in order to advance his own racial agenda. He has no regard for the truth (Tawana Briley) or for justice (Duke rape case). In my opinion, he is merely a bigoted reptile as so many on the left are these days.
Federal Law Enforcement is mandated to carry hollow point ammo. The NYPD is not allowed to use hollw points. Years ago when they still used revolvers they were not allowed to carry speed loaders as it was claimed they would fire too many rounds with a faster reload. Then they went to the Glock and said ok now we have faster reloads, but if they use hollow points more will die. So no matter what happens they always have a story of how the cops are always wrong. Same S*** Differant incident.
Why does Sharpton want do this kind of stuff? What possible gain does he hope to achieve from taking a bad situation – a case of over reaction based more on self-preservation based and misunderstanding than any nefarious motive – and making exponentially worse?
I agree completely. I also give Jesse Jackson the same treatment. The two of them may have earned the credits at divinity school, but they have proven that they learned nothing of what Jesus taught.
BTW,
I checked on Bartleby.com, and they say the quote (if you mean the “fool some of the people all of the time…”) is indeed from Lincoln.
But doesn’t saying Sharpton is like Barnum defaming a successful businessman?
So who said “There’s a sucker born every minute?”
Was that P.T. Barnum, or Bill Clinton?

Sharpton, Jackson race hustlers no doubt, then there is Geraldo making moves as the Mexican illegals savior. Actually Laura Ingraham has taken MM place on the BOR show. Maybe fox has Whorealdo wear a spit mask when Laura is in the building. I still applaud MM for leaving the show, showing courage, principles, strength and conviction. I do miss the nights she was the hostess. Oh by the way, if you think BOR is watching out for you, you best watch your back.
Black people really need to realize that Sharpton and Jackson are the worst representatives they could possibly imagine. They are not helping the black culture. On the contrary, they are making it worse as they continually deny responsibility and blame “whitey” for everything wrong with their culture.
Sharpton reminds me of Arafat. “Preaching” one thing and implementing another. They are both cut from the same bold of cloth and have proved to be evil and dangerous men. Black folks, get a clue! Sharpton is a foolish and evil man looking out for only his best interests!
Little off subject, little not…i can’t understand why black in this country are so enthralled with the likes of JJ, AS and the democrapic party for the last 40 plus years. Unless you consider their neighborhoods for the most part have been turned into lawless, drug infested, crime ridden projects with 70% unwed mothers with a disproportional number of blacks in prison for breaking the law.
Think i have a good idea the reason for their staying with the race baiter’s and demopcraps…ignorance and racial hatred.
rightisright is right on! JJ and AS give the blacks an excuse to not take personal responsibility and fix their problems. They can always blame it on something or someone else. Like the Germans blaming the Jews in the ’20s and ’30s that led up to the extermination of same. I submit that this is the same kind of thinking that keeps the “Palestinians” wallowing in their hatred and squalor. There is always someone else to blame but themselves.
Speaking of the acquitted police officers, I can image it might be Rodney King redux. Will the feds try the cops for violation of the dead groom’s civil rights? Kind of surprised the “community” did not react immediately upon the not guilty verdict.
Can’t myself trying to run down cops and not having them try to shoot me or being in a car with other dudes same race as me and being the only one to drop his drawers and moon the cops without them beating my ass senseless. And I’m a typical white guy.
So if you don’t kiss some black perp asp and set him free like OJ or fail to punish the cops, then that is an excuse for mayhem, looting and murder?
I guess we may even find out just what a uniting force Obama is vis a vis the races with the outcome in Denver. Will these same miscreants go berserk if he wins the nomination and the presidency? You know like when winning some sports championship?
There never seems to be any personal responsibility accruing to people such as Sharpton. He certainly gets his megabucks and apparently still doesn’t have to pay up for the Brawley incident. Jesse and Big Al are free to extort money from corporations under the race banner and no one calls them on it. Liberals are so good for America, are they not? Wonder what the troika of 3 stooges would opine about this minor racial outburst in NYC? I’m sure Wright’s buddy embraces the whole black victimhood spiel.
This maybe OT-but the issue of 50 rounds being fired makes me wonder what kind of ammunition were they shooting?
If its ball ammo-then 50 shots isn’t suprising. If it had been hollow point ammo-then what drugs were in bell’s system or where were the shots placed?
I shoot and use a 9mm for personal protection, and hollowpoints do an excellant job in stopping the threat. Two shots to the cardiac triangle-if the target is still a perceived threat, follow up with one to the brain box.
Several years ago there was book written about jessie alled “shakedown”, I wonder if someone might consider doing a simuliar book on al.
In the end a female judge made a decision that the testimony of the police was more credible than the testimony of convicted felons.
GSP
GSP-
The “spray and Pray” approach to defensive shooting sounds like the school these officers may have gone to. I know when the PD in my home town went to SW 5906′s, the most common notion was “I’m gonna put 15 rounds into somethin’.”
Sounds to me like you practice the Mozambique drill — two in the chest, one in the head. Good practice. I also chose 9mm, and carry a 124 gr. +p JHP.
Good Hunting….
Michelle, good for you for telling it like it is. There are so many demagogues in the black ministry. I guess I sound like a bigot for saying so. I love this off the internet:
Pure gold. How can anyone be so blind to the damage Sharpton causes, and instead call him a “great man”? It boggles the mind.
Hmmm….ok, I’ve read the article and the comments.
Al Sharpton isn’t going away…neither is Jesse Jackson.
Sean Bell’s family will probably sue for damages in a civil suit…and Sharpton will get a piece of that.
I have serious doubts that a race riot is going to happen in New York. I foresee a few demonstrations that will give enough publicity to Sean Bell’s family to allow them to cow the City of New York. New York City will settle out of court. (cha-ching)
And Sharpton will continue to exploit any opportunity that arises.
Oh..BTW..SHoward?
Try frangible +P…..
Bill O’Reilly is the biggest Sharpton enabler on the planet.
Bill O’Reilly is a pompous, self-serving, shill who uses his pseudo-intellectual attitude to appear as a fountain of wisdom.
Don’t be fooled.
Some years ago there was an incident on Staten Island, N.Y. in which a cop accidentally killed a black drug suspect when he put him in a choke hold. The cop was black. Sharpton came into the situation and quickly dropped it like a hot potato when he realized he could not turn it into a racial incident. There was another incident on S.I. in which a black man was attacked by some white thugs on the street. A group of white guys came out of a pizzaria and rescued the black man from further assault. Again, Sharpton came to S.I. and dropped the case since he could not exploit it due to the fact that white people rescued the black victim. He is a hustler and racial arsonist. The DemonRats are immoral for accepting this man as a member of their party.
Hi, my name is rooster. I used to be addicted to FOX News. I was continually overwhelmed by the effects of the 24/7 cycle of news.
Before long I was looking forward to the next brittney, or paris hilton update. Then slowly I realized I had developed an addiction. I watched knowing the messengers of FOX like Sharpton were harming my family and my country. I even found myself sympathizing with Geraldo Rivera. To make my addiction worse, I was told FOX was conservative, so they must be telling me what I want to hear. I thought things could not be worse for me, until Chris Wallace told me and Fox and Friends that he is upset with their constant Rev Wright coverage, and it was unfair.
Thank you Michelle. You have brought me to the light when all around me was shrouded in darkness. You give many suffering my condition in America “hope”.(copyright b. hussein obama)
Yes, I have been Malkanized and I thank you for providing the vital cure to the sickness that permeates our media causing these addictions in the weaker of our citizens like me and millions of others.
Thank you Michelle, and yes, I too have turned off FOX News channel and I feel free!
I don’t miss Brittney! Good-bye FOX News, I have moved on from your addiction.
I just thought of something–how is it that Sharpton the Charleton got into the White House and Tom Tancredo was denied??
Go Michelle go, they all deserve it so richly.
Sharpton isn’t there for justice, he’s there for the money and the prestige.
If thats not true let him not get a penny from his part in the Sean Bell incident.
Just a heads up….
In order to get a true perspective on what’s going on? It’s necessary to read and explore the outlets and opinions we don’t necessarily agree with.
Read the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post as well as Michelle Malkin and Rush Limbaugh.
Try to mine the truth out of MSM and the internet.
But think for yourselves.
