WASHINGTON, January 5, 2015 — With the first business day of the New Year upon us, we have an early winner for the biggest fail by any social media user of the year!

IJReview.com reports that the good Rev. Al Sharpton turned to twitter for some support from the Twitterverse. And surprise, it was not forthcoming as #wielders shared #PayItBack #TaxEvader and #fakerev.

Rev. Al owes the United States a lot of money and has for years. The exact amount is not known and New York Times reported Sharpton has “more than $4.5 million in current state and federal tax liens against him and his for-profit businesses.”

Unfortunately since H0lder or Lynch won’t make him pay, the joke is on us and he still has his “job” at MSNBC, and he’s still shaking down companies.

THE BIGGEST HYPROCRITE OF ALL--after Sharpton's NAN network organized numerous cop-hating rallies, inciting thugs to kill cops, Sharpton went on MSNBC-TV, unblinkingly decrying the Ramos/Liu killings....... as if he opposed them.

The opportunistic money-hungry turd's got a lot at stake: Obama's WH invites---his lucrative MSBNC gig---selling his NAN network to suckers like Comcast who are negotiating to buy it.

Fox's Melissa Frances reported on The Kelly File that Al Sharpton not only hosts an MSNBC show, but that:

<><> MSNBC Corporate finances Sharpton's Ntl Action Network (NAN);

<><>Comcast is also one of Sharpton's financial backers

<><> MSNBC AND COMCAST are reportedly negotiating to buy Sharpton's NAN network.

NY POST REPORT: Sharpton raised $1 million for NAN at his 60th birthday bash in October, with donations rolling in from unions and a corporate roster of contributors including AT&T, McDonald’s, Verizon and Walmart.

Companies have gotten in line to pay Sharpton. Macy’s and Pfizer forked over thousands to NAN, as have General Motors, American Honda and Chrysler.

‘We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business with us in a statistically significant manner.’ - Sharpton's 2003 e-mail to Honda

==========================================

DO THIS NOW:

EMAIL---enforcement@SEC.gov

The SEC might be interested in the way publicly-held companies listed shakedown payments to Sharpton.

Were these payments properly disclosed to shareholders?

Were shareholders appraised of the nature of these payments?

Did the publicly-held companies show how the payments affected the company's bottom line?

Were the payments to Sharpton properly accurately listed on corporate tax returns?

Asking How Sharpton Pays for Those Suits; Case Offers Glimpse of His Finances
By ALAN FEUER
Published: December 21, 2000

He says he owns no suits, but has ‘’access’’ to a dozen or so. He says he owns no television set because the one he watches in his home was purchased by a company he runs. He says he has no checking accounts, no savings accounts, no credit cards, no debit cards, no mutual funds, no stocks, no bonds, no paintings, no antiques. The only thing he admits to owning is a $300 wristwatch and a 20-year-old wedding ring.

Rev. Al Sharpton gets $1M in birthday gifts to help bail out his nonprofit

The Rev. Al Sharpton received a big present for his 60th birthday bash — $1 million in contributions to help bail out his nonprofit National Action Network.

A thick, glossy program distributed to guests who attended the lavish Four Seasons party Wednesday night lays out the companies that ponied up. ATT and the developer Forest City Ratner paid for full page ads at what was called the “Activist Level.”

GE Asset Management and Walmart saluted NAN with half-page ads at the “Preacher Level.”

The Humane Society, billionaire Ron Perelman’s holding company MacAndrews & Forbes, McDonald’s, DC37, Verizon and the Partnership for New York City got in at the lower “Track Suit Level” at the back of the book.

In an interview, Sharpton said he didn’t know what the different donor levels gave because fund-raising was outsourced to an event planner. He said “corporate checks take 90 days” to cash, so it was too early to say exactly who paid what, but he said the party brought in a projected $1 million.
