Back in 1987, a young demagogue named Al Sharpton leapt onto the national scene, accusing a New York assistant district attorney, Steven Pagones, of raping a 15-year-old girl, Tawana Brawley. Actually, Sharpton claimed that Pagones had raped Brawley, anally raped Brawley and then scrawled the initials "KKK" on Brawley's torso in feces.

"We stated openly that Steven Pagones did it," Sharpton proclaimed. "If we're lying, sue us, so we can go into court with you and prove you did it. Sue us — sue us right now." Pagones sued. Pagones won. But Sharpton never apologized and had his supporters foot the bill.

Sharpton's racial arson didn't end there.

To do otherwise would be "racist". /s

It's funny how the truth gets rewritten with history. Now there are those - many on this forum - who portray MLK as a "saint", but I remember him well and he was as big a rabble-rouser and racist as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the rest. Also he was almost as big a misogynist as Bubba Klinton. You don't hear the REAL facts about him, and I guess you never will.

Because if they don’t knuckle under to his “offer” to sponsor him, he’ll call them racist and have them boycotted.

I thought advertisers were bundled and sent as a package to outlets so the original advertiser didn’t really know where their product was offered. Dunno, just a question - I think that either Rush or Hannity brought it up one time.

Because they are warned - support these career criminals or find your company and yourselves tied up by the IRS until you die.
