The Rev. Al Sharpton is the White House’s man on the ground in Ferguson.

The 59-year-old Sharpton has become a key adviser to President Obama on race issues, according to Politico, and is acting as his liaison in the racially charged St. Louis suburb, where the police shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown led to days of riots.

Sharpton arrived at the protest site in Ferguson three days after the shooting and quickly began briefing the White House.

“There’s a trust factor with The Rev from the Oval Office on down,” a White House official told Politico. “He gets it, and he’s got credibility in the community that nobody else has got. There’s really no one else out there who does what he does.”

While in Ferguson, Sharpton met with the Brown family and reported back directly to Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s closest aides....

I can't decide if this is a horror movie or a farce.

I was once told by a Lefty that Sharpton wasn’t a major player among the Dems guess that Lefty lied.

What qualifies Sharpton as an adviser about anything. No wonder Obama’s administration is so screwed up. Sharpton as and adviser? Would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

How about dr mengele as health care advisor And Michael Moore as economics advisor. And Khalid sheik Mohammad as White House tsar for religious relations. Oops, how will we be able to tell the difference?

I couldn’t be more surprised if I heard Al Bundy had become a marriage counselor.

I had to check to see if it was satire. The crap this administration does is unbelievable.

I bet this really gets on Jesse’s goat. He shouldn’t have made that remark about cutting Obama’s nuts off.

That's the Obama equivalent of hiring Jack the Ripper as U.S. Surgeon General.

I bet Jesse Jackson warned him to stay away from the Ferguson McDonalds... but I sure would like to see him put in his place like Jesse was... If you don’t know what I am talking about, you have to see that video! Google it...

There’s really no one else out there who does what he does.

Thank God for that, because one scumbag like Sharpton is already one too many.

.

- Only four (4) of the alleged “protestors” that were arrested in Ferguson Missouri one night last week were residents of Ferguson - dozens of trouble makers suddenly came to Ferguson from New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles, Gary Indiana, Miami, Phoenix, Seattle, and many more urban high barack population cities.

- Who is interested in giving the bum rush to the policeman that had to handle “Little Mikey” Brown?

- Here is a partial list:

- The New Black Panthers
- Drug Cartels
- ISSI
- US Attorney General Eric Holder
- The Taliban
- Jesse Jackson
- Beery Husseina Ebola junior
- Al Sharpton
- Al Quada
- The Democrat Progressives
- Bill Ames
- Sheila Jackson Lee
- ex-NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg
- current NYC Mayor DeBlasio (an admitted proud Communist)

- and mucho more

- I am thinking that american law enforcement officer are the new target of the left - Al Sharpton will be doubling down and holding a rally in NYC they weekend

- I would venture that millions of LE will or have been going after some tasty free venison and ducks. Deer slugs, Remington bolt action rifles with scopes, Ruger rifles, etc. Great for saving on the grocery bill and some valuable experience in mid range and long range shooting - Carlos Hathcock style,

- Just a thought - they cannot be “on the job” with 9mm all the time; a little fresh air and time with your friends and families could not hurt.

- Be careful out there -
