Sharpton Uses Rand Paul To Take Civil Rights Shot at Hillary
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/15/2014 5:41:31 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The look on Al Sharpton's face was that of a mischievous cat who had just swallowed the canary. It came right after the Right Reverend concluded his remarks about Rand Paul and Hillary on today's Morning Joe.

Sharpton's gist was that, by speaking out on race [in a Time op-ed] in ways unaccustomed for Republicans, Paul presented a challenge to Hillary to clarify her own civil rights record. Sharpton suggested that "many of us in the civil rights community" question the Clintons on race, citing triangulation, the Sistah Souljah moment, and Hillary's position on the Omnibus Crime Bill.

...the Right Reverend...

Really? Sharpton's a phony and doesn't deserve the title "Reverend". He never went to divinity school, has never had a congregation nor has he ever had a church. He was "ordained" by a DC preacher at age 10 and has perpetuated the lie ever since. He a leech who does a disservice to those who have actually earned the title.

Ole Al isn’t the brightest bulb in the box. He may be carrying Obama’s water but evidently he forgot Hillary’s access to thousands of Raw FBI Data files.

I am sure she knows all the people Ole Al was snitching on.
Wonder who she will feed that story to?

He does have, however, a disgusting little dump of an office near Yankee Stadium that could probably be a fire trap. I pity the idiots who man the phones in that place.

You're looking especially lovely today, Reverend Sharpton.

What's that?

It's the Bible, Al.

Oh, never seen one before.

It’s a little disconcerting. If Hillary appears weak, Elizabeth Warren will happily jump into the breach and, like another inexperienced, incompetent, hard-wired Marxist did in ‘08, knock Hillary out, yet go on to win the presidency.

And I don’t see anyone in the GOP right now who is capturing the public’s imagination.
