The Democratic Embrace of Al Sharpton The man who embodied New York’s bad old days of the 1980s now wields influence as never before—at City Hall and in the White House. By HEATHER MAC DONALD
The Rev. Al Sharpton once epitomized New York’s bad old days of the 1980s, when the then-corpulent, gold-medallion-bedecked tub thumper inflamed racial hatred and courted violence. Today, against all expectations and at least 100 pounds lighter, he has been rehabilitated into the Democratic Party’s civil-rights leader of choice. Has Mr. Sharpton changed or simply outlasted his critics?
President Obama’s embrace of Mr. Sharpton has been particularly intense this year. On Monday he called Mr. Sharpton’s radio show to...

Because stupid.
He’s the same man who is guilty of inciting a riot which lead to the murder of an innocent man. It’s just that age, power and wealth have bred more complacency in him, that being very relative.
Btt
Presume you are referring to the Crown Heights riot. Don’t forget this little gem (via Jewishpost.com):
“Roland James Smith, Jr., 51, a Harlem resident with a criminal record going back 30 years, walked into Freddy’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned clothing store at 272 West 125th Street, pulled out a gun, ordered all the black customers to leave, spilled paint thinner on several bins of clothing and set them on fire — a fire that resulted in killing 8 people including Smith.
Smith had been part of a group of picketers, led by Al Sharpton , head of the National Action Network and Morris Powell , leader of the 125th Street Vendor’s Association, who had been protesting the eviction of Sikhulu Shange, owner of the Record Shack who was subletting from Fred Harari, the Jewish owner of Freddy’s”.
Thank you.
Yes, that was my reference. Thanks for that excerpt.
As Rhett Butler said, you can scrub at those spots but the leopard always shines through.
He’s been snichin’ to the FBI for decades.
Certainly. I have been following Al Charlatan ever since the Tawana Brawley fiasco. I never cease to be amazed by his capacity to avoid responsibility for his behavior. My opinion, only, of course.
Bill de Blasio is using the race-rat crook which will/should embarrass and humiliate progressives/democrats...this is the new Democratic poster racialpimp? Vote for which party? This is sick!
Idiots like my lofo neighbors vote straight ‘Rat because it is the Party for the “little guy.” They are voting for the Party of Sharpton/Jackson/Biden/Soros/Pelosi/Reid and the rest of the ‘Rats’ Nest who have nothing but contempt for people like my neighbors.
I find it hard to believe some besmirched person or persons haven’t beat the snot out of this scum.
Even liberals like Joe Klein regard Sharpton as a despicable crud. Of course, the majority of liberals are brain-dead, ignorant lemmings, so they’ll follow any pos presented to them as a leader.
