Resist We Much! I need that on a bumper sticker.

O’Reilly, Hannity and others have this thug on all the time, so they should be also held responsible for promoting his career.

CC: You’re right. Hannity and O’Reilly promoted him and had him on more than any other TV shows, until he got this gig. And I’ve called them out for that on this site, before. Was remiss in not mentioning it again and am adding it. DS

The fact he has been embraced by the media and the Democrats tells you all you need to know about the depths to which those two entities have sunk.

Hilarious Sharpton story on the Daily Rash: Al Sharpton, America’s First Illiterate News Anchor! http://www.thedailyrash.com/al-sharpton-americas-first-illiterate-news-anchor

I think MSNBC chose him for his eloquence.

Jonathan E. Grant on August 10, 2011 at 2:26 pm

Concerned Citizen, your right bro, both O’Reilly and Hannity have this guy on their shows on some occasions. And it’s clear to me that Hannity and O’Reilly are just plain old entertainers and NOT real conservatives (I know the both of them are faking it and BSing around).

Debbie, I saw a clip of you on “youtube” debating with Al Sharpton on Bill Maher’s show a number of years ago. DS, you were spot on about the issue of islam, Yasser Arafat, etc., while Sharpton on the other hand didn’t know what he was talking and looked completely clueless and gullible of that specific issue.

“A nation is defined by its borders, language & culture!”

Here’s another prominent conservative who has drawn very close to Sharpton: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. On the issue of education, they’re practically inseparable, appearing in public quite a few times together. If Gingrich becomes president in 2013 — a big “if,” I know — expect Rev. Sharpton to play a major policymaking role.

Yes, it is like a Crip or Blood doing public service announcements. Al Sharpton is an example of a criminal being mainstreamed, even though he is absolutely charmless and very ignorant.

This guy makes me sick every time I see him. What’s even worse is the reason for his popularity. The fact that most of the people in his culture LOVE him and every word he says. That’s is how he continues to get screen time. I’ve personally argued against this scum bag on more occasions than I can number with co-workers. Just like when their favorite son kwame kilpatrick was re-elected. I told a black female moron coworker, who was trying to gloat in my face, “You got just what you deserve.” All the notsosharpton’s deserve everything they get. Every laugh, every curse, every gangland shooting.

You forgot to mention that Sharpton is also a tax cheat.

Jonathan E. Grant on August 10, 2011 at 3:37 pm

I guess that makes O’Reilly and Hannity “fair & balanced”?

Al Sharpton = Reverend of Nothing

Rocky Lore on August 10, 2011 at 9:12 pm

Al Sharpton has been a pimple on the back of the black community for years. The fact that those 2 dummies on fox news Hannity and O’Reilly have had he on their shows speaks volumes.
As a black man he doesn’t speak for me and I can’t stand him. May his show tank and he go away aleady.

I was glad to see the reference to Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity in the body of this thread. Damn straight. Anyone who gives this big-mouthed charlatan ANY credibility is lacking credibility themselves.

We know what a fraud O’Reilly is. His specialty is pandering to blacks. He fears the “racist” label. He’s a testicle as a big mouth and NO testosterone. Get lost, O’Reilly.

Ah, where the hell would Sean Hannity (Casey Anthony supporter!) be with his dentures known as PAWNN News? He’d be filling in for the so-called heavy-hitters talk-show hosts when they take off on the major vacations. How can that fraudulent geek STILL have the number 2 talk show? He sickens me to the core.

It would be so nice to see people dismiss Weird Al Sharpton as he should be. I give that race-pimp NO credibility.

And MSNBC has been caught with their knickers down. We know where THEY stand.

Skunky on August 10, 2011 at 10:04 pm

Fox news we all know stands for news coverage which is unfair and unbalanced. That’s why we get O’Reilly, Hannity and of course on occasion Sharpton. Feh!

Jerry on August 11, 2011 at 11:00 am

ALFRAUD Sharpton can’t even speak english.Ask him how much money he blackmailed Andrew Cuomo,Ned Lamont,and especially Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney who paid Sharpton off when she used the N/word and Sharpton said nothing.This month is 20 years since the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn Sharpton called jews every racist name and now M.S.N.B.C. the Obama network give him a hour for his clown act.ALFRAUD SHARPTON IS AN INCOMPETENT HATEFUL DISGRACE.

Jay Kanter on August 11, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Another excellent post, Debbie. And I agree with all that was said above.

The only thing that I want to add is to note in regard to the video above, how appropriate that Al Sharpton is given the nickname of “Weird Al” in reference to “Weird Al” Yankovic. They are indeed both funny. However, there is one difference–in the case of Yankovic, his being funny is intentional.

Bill O’Reilly and Sean it’s all entertainment. No one take O’Reilly serious anymore. He goes with whatever he thinks is popular at the moment. Sean seem to have Ron Williams and Ann Coulter on way too much.

You are both a racist and a moby troll! Take this crap to Stormfront or some sort of White Supremicist web site. This crap is not welcome here!

In case you don’t know what I mean by “moby troll”, see this link.
