Yes, let’s talk about Al Sharpton’s racial demagoguery, shall we?
Here is Al Sharpton fuming over Rush Limbaugh calling him out on his poisonous career of racial demagoguery:
“He doesn’t have the right to lie and accuse people of crimes,” Sharpton said.
Yes, Al Sharpton, perpetrator of the Tawana Brawley racial hoax crime, is braying about false criminal allegations. The charlatan knows no shame.
Sharpton says he’s going to sue Rush Limbaugh unless he gets an apology.
He’s not going to get an apology.
And he’s not going to sue.
Sharpton has long enjoyed the silence of his coddling enablers about his race-hustling ways.
He loves soaking up the spotlight as a legitimate public policy player out on the trail with Newt Gingrich and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, yukking it up on cable TV, and hanging with politicians in both parties:
The last thing Clown Sharpton wants is a thorough and blistering examination of his vile shakedowns, bigoted incitements, and police-bashing antics in a court of law– and the court of public opinion.
But let’s talk about Al Sharpton’s racial demagoguery, shall we?
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. After 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.
Those enablers run fabricated quotes about Rush while whitewashing Sharpton’s sordid history and propping him up. Now, watch them help Sharpton spin once more.

Why are you an anti-Semite, Aloha?
Sorry, I thought she was Icelandic.
Hmmm…I never considered that possibility. But her features are pretty fair, and a google search for “Debbie Schlussel Icelandic” came back with 1,820 hits. I didn’t look at any of them, but 1,820 hits can’t be wrong.
Hate on, then, Aloha! Hate on!
And by that rubric, google comes back with 29,800 hits for “chapoutier awesome.”
So the fact that I am awesome is over 16 times as true as the fact that Debbie is a dirty Icelander!
Burn her, burn her. Wait, everything’s frozen in Iceland… Melt her, melt her!
Screw ‘Dumba$$’ Sharpton. He can, and will, rot in hell someday for his lies, deceptions and efforts to destroy innocent people in his quest to fill his private bank acccounts. I hope Rush sues the pants off the ignorant ba$tard. Figuratively, as I would not want to see what is under them…
They seem to be about the wine, but no matter. “chapoutier awesome racist” brings up 580 hits – care to explain that?
Enough already! I have had it with Sharpton and Jackson’s endless race baiting. They harp on endlessly, using all manner of racial terminology and it is reported with glee by the left. As someone posted above, it is nothing but a mafia-style protection racket. Geez, show some spine people and protest this racketeering jackass for the buffoon he is. Write Hannity and protest his even being allowed on TV. I.AM.SO.SICK.OF.EVERYONE ON THE LEFT CALLING ME RACIST WITHOUT AN IOTA OF PROOF.
Dear FirstSkirt,
Racist.
Regards,
chapoutier
RSS, should the NFL continue to have a monopoly at all? Shouldn’t any business man or women with the money, say, Snoop Dog or Jennifer Lopez, be able to start up their own NFL team? Why should the owners be able to discriminate at all over who can or can not own a team? Should the Steakhouse Owners be allowed to decide who can start up a steakhouse in a particular city?
Oh, I almost forgot, why is it that a city can no longer start up their own team with the profits going back to the taxpayers that not only support it through ticket sales but also built the stadiums with tax revenue? (Green Bay Packers are the only team owned by the city and the last as determined by the NFL Owners)
See if it is left to open competition there can not be any claims of bias. See how that works?
I am thinking of just embracing my inner racist…I don’t want to, but I don’t think liberals are giving me a choice.
Is this a serious question? Anyone can open a steakhouse, and anyone can start a football team (or league), but not everyone can open a Sizzler or buy an NFL team. Are you saying a private enterprise like the NFL should be forced — by the government! — to allow any old fat cat with the right amount of money to buy in like a public stock?
Mr. Chapoutier: I REALLY appreciate the fact that you took time out of your busy schedule to write and call me a racist. I don’t seem to mind it coming from you as I always get a chuckle out of your posts…even when you are scolding someone or they are scolding you. Still, calling us Tea Partier’s racists is NOT going to get you liberals anywhere. In this case, I have considered the source and LMAO.
pssssst FirstSkirt:
chapoutier is an Amish Zombie.
You know, ROB, perhaps you are right. Let’s all embrace our inner racism and stop giving a sh– what liberals think. Thanks for giving me something to mull over.
Yo, Spacey, what the heck is an AMISH ZOMBIE, and I have to remind you, Chappy is gonna be pretty ticked off you that let that secret out on this well known blog.
FirstS – there are a whole bunch of things more important to worry about right now than what somebody calls you. Back in the day, when I was a Naval instructor, I used to tell my classes that there was nothing they could call me that I hadn’t already been called at one time or another. Then, I had some Saudi students cycle through my classes, and I learned a whole bunch more things that I could be called.
But I’ve been following this thread since early this morning, and it seems like it has been hijacked and turned every which way but loose.
For better or for worse, Sharpton is nothing but a common charlatan – the problem is, he has so many people who believe in him. I have nothing but loathing and contempt for the man.
hey; this is weird
RSS still need the recrutiers number? When are you going to join the military to support your president???
They try and terrorize people with really well made furniture.
FirstSkirt, I don’t have to embrace any racism, internal or otherwise. I understand your point but I already do not care what they call me. Like Patrick Swayze said when asked “Well what if someone calls my mother a whore?”
“Well is she?”
RSS, serious question. Do you believe in monopolies? The NFL has “special” status to protect its monopoly. Before you go off on a tear about forming a new league (which has already been tried twice, and sort of succeeded once- arena league) remember that part of the NFL agreement is santioning by the US government through arrangements with NCAA- which gets a LOT of taxpayer money through colleges. Serious question for discussion purposes- notice I did not call you any names or attack you personally.
Hypocrisy for
theeSharpton, but not for me.Well said by Booker T., Speakup, and I also read Larry Elder (wish others would too).
I’m scared of terrorists who make really fine furniture!
CPODUG: You’re right! When I was an AF Recruiter I got called all kinds of names–gee, I’d forgotten.
Having lived in NY during Sharpton’s “banner” years, I saw first hand what this slimy racist scum*bag can do. I understand why liberal slugs love him; but I don’t get ANY conservatives, or independents having anything to do with this snake. Hear me Bill O’Reilly?????
FirstSkirt, I was a recruiter for the Marine Corps. They told us at scholl to grow Rhino skin to deflect the insults from idiots. It worked, I didn’t kill anyone. (Actually, the people in my area of NC were good, mostly conservative people. Some of the scholl administrators however….)
The race industry is a surprisingly low education intensive career move.
All you need, really is a chip on your shoulder, a lilt and:
Oh, wonderful … the rabid Zionist (D.S.) is at it again.
Al Sharpton is a bigot. You are a bigot.
You both have no place in public life.
Wonder if Sharpton smells like looks…nasty.
The bigoted and hate filled Sharption and his ilk are the biggest reason we are still dealing with race today. For the most part racism is dead. The legitimate cases get ignored because of people like Sharpton who find a way to involve race to make HIS living and make others his slaves in a way.
I have no respect for anyone who uses race as a excuse in a way where they have no proof that race was involved.
If you are black, STOP blaming whitey on you issues, STOP listening to the hate-filled rap “music”. This has never gotten anyone a legit living only a life of squalor and crime for them selvves or their fans in the case of “rap artists”.
This as much as anything is why Sharpton is such a POS.
I have followed this for years whenever there may be news of this, Pagones went through hell trying to get his life back, and Sharpton has never been held accountable for trying to destroy it for a little face time on TV and some donations.
Even though he had a judgment against him, I don’t believe he ever paid a dime to Pagones. This is where “this ain’t my suit” came from”. He claimed in court he was bankrupt (financially as well as morally) but it was his organization that paid for his clothes and Cadillac.
Liberals base their opinions and philosophies on emotions. If it feels good, it must be good, regardless of consequences. It works well with the uneducated and gullible; their base. It’s no wonder, black liberals like Sharpton, love to keep the poor, poor…and the schools dumbed-down.
How many proof is an iota?
Sharpton likes being the lackey on the plantation…
