Sharpton Compares Himself to Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel
Breitbart ^ | 10/24/13 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 10/24/2013 11:22:32 PM PDT by Nachum

MSNBC’s Al Sharpton is no stranger to self-aggrandizing statements. But in his new book, The Rejected Stone, he takes self-aggrandizement to its limit: he compares himself to iconic Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize. Sharpton describes going to church with President Obama in 2009 just before his inauguration:

As we left that church, I stopped and met Elie Wiesel, the Nobel laureate who had survived the Holocaust camps in Nazi Germany. I thought about how there currently were and had been battles fought all over the world for human rights, whether against the Nazis, against apartheid, against slavery and segregation, against Northern racists…I knew that, like me, they had had periods in their lives when they were not exactly warmly embraced in the corridors of power, when they might even have been considered pariahs.

Putz fails this. Sometimes words are not adequate to describe the latest evil.

Only a vile racist anti-Semite like Sharpton would compare himself with Elie Wiesel....especially with Crown Heights as a career highlight for Sharpton

It is very ironic that Rev. Al Sharpton, antisemite, is now comparing himself to a Jewish Holocaust survivor. If Sharpton got in touch with his inner bigot, he'd have been a Kapo in the camp.

From the Jewish Virtual Library:

“Kapos were trusted inmates who supervised the prisoners in the German concentration camps. Some of these Kapos were Jewish, and they would treat their fellow prisoners very harshly. Kapos were involved in all aspects of prisoner administration. They had many responsibilities. They would have to implement commands, maintain order, assist other Kapos, head work groups, determine the health of various inmates and ensure that they performed their tasks properly and meet their quotas. If an order was not fulfilled, the Kapo in charge was directly responsible. Failure to perform these duties would have resulted in severe punishment and even death.”

“If you were selected to be a Kapo you had no choice but to take the position. It was a matter of survival and one did not deny the SS anything or the result would be death. A Kapo had better quarters, food, and clothing. They enjoyed their own reserved section in the prison barrack. They had enough to eat and their clothing was relatively warm.”

“After the war, the Kapos were charged as war criminals, particularly those who were Jewish.”

I assumed Sharpton was busy smearing feces on Tawana Brawley.

Hmmmmm, interesting how differently Jews and Americans of African decent choose to live after the atrocities they’ve faced.

He a lot closer in tone and attitude to Julius Streicher than Elie Wiesel. At least Streicher was hanged, when can we get rid of this odious tool?

If he hadn’t hanged, can you image NBC offering Streicher a position as “journalist” in 1952?

That man has no shame. Imagine anything you like, Sharpton. You are nothing but a cheap bigot and scam artist, a parasite sucking the blood from your own race. You will answer to God some day.
