As a black Rush Limbaugh fan still fuming from the lynching of Rush for false charges of racism by the liberal media led by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, I thought what can I do to end this tyranny of political correctness. For me, the Limbaugh Incident was "the straw that broke the camel's back" as my mom used to say.
Then I thought, as a Christian should I go after Sharpton and Jackson? The words of Edmund Burke came to mind, "The only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!"
Final confirmation came when I opened my email. In response to my article supporting Rush someone wrote,"Lloyd Marcus you are a dumb a** Uncle Tom! Here is what Rush Limbaugh said..." Then, the ill informed emailer repeated the false Rush quotes spread by Sharpton and the shameless characterless liberal media.
Not only has Sharpton slandered a great American patriot, Rush Limbaugh, he and his liberal cohorts have severely damaged the psyche of black America for years. If researchers could document the damages, it could be interesting to file a class action lawsuit, Black America vs Liberal America.
And who died and made Sharpton and Jackson the official spokespersons for black America? The fact that the media consults these guys to speak for black America is racist. Are we a tribe? Are they our chiefs?
Like all Americans, blacks are diverse in their thinking. It is absurd and offensive that the media assigns spokespersons for us. Who are the spokespersons for white America?
Sharpton attacked Rush with lies. I will simply tell the documented truth about Rev. Al Sharpton and why this sleazy man would not be a credible spokesperson for a Used Car Lot much less black America.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you exhibit "A" Tawana Brawley.
In New York, 1987, Tawana Brawley, a black 15 year old was found smeared with feces, lying in a garbage bag, her clothing torn and burned and with various slurs and epithets written on her body in charcoal. Brawley accused six white men, including police officers and a public official, of kidnapping and repeatedly raping her. Civil rights activist Al Sharpton played a major role in publicizing and campaigning on behalf of Brawley's case. It was all a hoax. The case did not pass the smell test of the grand jury. A grand jury later indicted Brawley's mother Glenda Brawley for her involvement in the hoax.
Still, Sharpton and associates accused the Dutchess County prosecutor, Steven Pagones, of racism and of being one of the perpetrators of the alleged abduction and rape.
Pagones successfully sued Sharpton and Brawley's attorneys for slander. They were ordered to pay $345,000 in damages.
Many say Sharpton knew Brawley lied. I have not found solid evidence to prove this. However, in a 2007 interview, Sharpton said he still thinks the Brawley case should have gone to trial. He said that despite there being no evidence of a crime.
Folks, white cops allegedly smearing a black teenage girl with feces. Can you imagine the intense racial hatred fueled by this evil lie? But Sharpton did not care. It was all about his racism, fame, extortion, political power and "gettin' paid".
To keep this article brief as possible, I will not go into all of Sharpton's racist statements, divisiveness and exploitation of race relations. Unlike the false Limbaugh quotes, Sharpton's crimes are easily found and documented. For example, check out the Crown Heights crisis. Talk about racist anti-Jewish smears.
Race profiteers. For years Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have earned a great living and enjoyed celebrity by betraying their own people. When you are still attempting to convince blacks they are victims in the greatest land of opportunity on the planet, the president is black and the richest woman in the country is also black, it is an insidious betrayal.
So Al, you're out of here! There's a new sheriff in town. Media, if you insist on "getting the black perspective", how about giving us black folks a little credit by loosening your paradigm that we are all victims. Show some respect. Speak to a few conservative, self sufficient and successful entrepreneurial blacks, we do exist; rather than running to interview your typical liberal, whiners, eternal victims, racists and poverty pimps.
It still amazes me how every time a reporter interviews me and discovers I am a black man who loves America, does not resent white people and do not consider myself a victim, they give me that look. They give me a blank stare which I read as, "This man is an idiot or what planet is he from". They act like I need serious help. As Rush says, "the media has templates". Behavior outside of their template they cannot understand. Thus, according to the media's template, as a black man, I am supposed to view America through Al Sharpton's point of view.
With the Obama administration's unprecedented exploitation of race at every turn, the last thing America needs is dinosaur race profiteers such as Sharpton and Jackson fueling the flames of racial hatred further dividing us.
Lloyd Marcus, (black) Unhyphenated American!
Who could take Al “Tawana” Sharpton seriously?
Any sensible person would ask where the money to buy such nice (expensive) suits and constant travel comes from. Does either one of these “Rev’s” have a church? A genuine seminary diploma? Ta gotta wonder...
Amen and amen.
Who could take Al “Tawana” Sharpton seriously?
___________
Apparently, Sean Hannity and every single other “news” station in the United States. Sharpton is no better than a black David Duke.
The black, the ignorant, the liberal or any combination of the three.
yep yep yep
ain’t that the truth
They are pastors in the church of the almighty dollar.
Amen!
Every day RUSH should Begin his show with the same statement...
“Sharpton, Jackson, Obama ... I’m STILL Here!!”
The first day I came to a job at a corporation; Jesse Jackson was there shaking them down.

“Pay us a lot of money and we’ll go protest in front of your competitor” they shout through a bullhorn.
GBY
LOL..yep
Thanks zeebee!
a Chicago cop shot a young black woman who had reached for a cell phone.
Rev. Al was going to address the Chicago City Council regarding white cops shooting blacks.
Rev. Al canceled the meeting.
The cop was black.
Who is this guy? Does he wanna be president.
He is on the money, in everything he said. I live one county over from where they Brawley incident occured, plus worked with someone who was in the county police dept..at the time. What happened was disgraceful.
Sharpton and Jackson do nothing but hurt the black community. They take the progress with racism, back to the 50s.
I cant tell you how many times I have asked people this same question. Nobody seems to have an answer. Sharpton is like horse crap..all over...who is paying his way?
That’s exactly right. That’s all Sharpton is about...hassle the white man.
Yea , Hannity is a royal a$$hole. He needs to be taken off the air FAST. Sharpton uses him something awful and the moron doesn’t even catch on to it.
They found a comforatable niche for themselves (sh*t stirrers) and that’s what they do. Hey it’s easier than working for living...which neither of them could do.
Well done
As I recall, Pegones never collected a DIME of the judgment against Sharpton. No one had heard of Sharpton before the Brawley hoax. It was his road to fame and fortune and he hopped on board.
Sharpton has apprently put his assets into his organization which kindly buys him the $2K suits, and his high flying lifestyle. This all makes him, personally, judgment-proof. Someone should bust up that scam.
Hey Hannah and James! ...are you guys busy?
I would hope that Rush has a crack team of investigators/lawyers who can figure out a way to separate Sharpton from his organization AND his money. He’s claiming he’ll sue Rush for his op-ed piece in yesterday’s WSJ. Maybe Rush should hope he does, open himself up to discovery. That would be fun!!!
Ditto
Ya got that right!
There was a time, when sharpton first started to show up, that I was sure, someone was going to “do him in”. I dont know how anyone hasnt taken pot shots at him.
Nah, better to keep him sucking O2, so the rest of the world can actually see what he really is, and not someone dead that others can make stuff up about.
Hmm, don’t give me any ideas. LOL
Go, Lloyd....go, go, go !!!
Al and Jesse don’t want obama to be the top racist in the country.
He's a FReeper! And I've vote for him in a New Yawk Minute!
ROTFL
Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are public relations WHORES! Always have been!
Yo baby but u see it be payin big bucks to be talkin all dat jive.
Good point!
STE=Q
The fact that the media consults these guys to speak for black America is racist. Are we a tribe? Are they our chiefs?
The public discourse is dominated by Big Journalism. The reality is that Big Journalism is actually Associated Press journalism, and that Big Journalism exists as an entity precisely because the Associated Press is a monopolistic organization (found, at least according to this web site, to be in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1945).The AP has however been "too big to fail," in the sense that nobody could see how to stop its monopolistic practice without preventing the public from having access to news from around the world. The Internet obviously moots that problem, so the AP should be sued into oblivion.
It’s the Klan with a Tan.
Excellent column! A courageous American.
Thanks! He’s one in a million.
this is exactly what we need, and what will save us from these ratbastards trying to turn us in the Cezh republic....
I take that back the Cezh republic is starting to look freer than us.
BTTT
Thanks
Al, you a fat Barry White-lookin’ mothaf**ka
As bad as the Tawana Brawley case and his Crown Heights words were, the most egregious action, in my view, ever taken by Sharpton was the anti-white, anti-Semitic protest he led at Freddy’s Fashion Mart on 125th Street in Harlem in December 1995.
His inflammatory words, led to FLAMES, an arson, that caused the deaths of EIGHT (8) innocents. That is 7 more deaths than the Diallou incident, 7 more deaths than the Sean Bell shooting.
This July, Bill de Blasio, a Democrat (white) running for the office of NYC Public Advocate, making him next in line to be Mayor, was endorsed by Sharpton. de Blasio called Sharpton’s backing his most significant endorsement of the campaign, and referred to Sharpton as the ‘conscience of the City and the nation.’
That Sharpton has got away with his crap for so long is a shame. That a pandering, white politician would lavish such words of PRAISE on Sharpton, tells you how twisted some people can be in their quest for political power.
People can change. Maybe Sharpton has moderated. But when I see mainstream politicians like New Gingrich going on ‘tour’ with him, I want to throw up!
Eight deaths!
But let’s forgive and foget. Amazing!
