MSNBC Is Now Rev. Al Sharpton's Personal Fiefdom
investors.com ^ | 8/28/2013 | Brent Bozell

Posted on 08/29/2013 7:38:22 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

After Sharpton finished on MSNBC, hosts Ed Schultz and Melissa Harris-Perry agreed Sharpton was the Martin Luther King of this century. "There's no doubt that Reverend Sharpton is the contemporary civil rights leader of our time," said Schultz. "He is peerless," oozed Harris-Perry.

Schultz honored Sharpton as a "man with a very unique platform in a social media with a television show, with the National Action Network, with the social following that he has."

It's "very unique" for the reverend to host a nightly hour on cable news at the same time he's assembling crowds in the street for "justice for Trayvon" or whatever the racial ambulance-chaser's case of the day might be.

Perhaps Sharpton views himself as a politicized version of John Walsh on "America's Most Wanted," except the evil perpetrators he's tracking are conservative Republicans.

Radical-left MSNBC analyst Michael Eric Dyson joined in. "What Rev. Sharpton did today was magnificent," he claimed. "Today Rev. Sharpton emerged as the pre-eminent leader of his generation, bar none!"

Dyson was putting Sharpton above Obama, Bill Clinton and every other leader in America. Harris-Perry was still agreeing: "I think that's clear. Rev. Sharpton for me walks away from this moment peerless!"

“I thought about one but since the author was Brent Bozell”

Well I understand and might have done the same myself.

So the boss of the St. Trayvon civil rights movement is an inciter to riot and murder, how fitting.

Rev Al's audience has declined 31% from one year ago. Resist We Much = We Don't Watch.

I don’t know who this Rev. guy is they keep talking about? I know a race-pimping hustler named Al, but a Reverend? Nope.

Can there be any more substantial proof we need to split up this country into the brain dead liberal states and the rational thinking Conservative states?

This kind of mental disconnect is beyond any possible repair as they have no idea how stupid they sound and act.

I don’t want to be associated with their kind in my country so lets split up!

We can toss 50 states into a hat and just get the luck of the draw and if my state goes to the mental defectives I will gladly move. (easy as I live in NY and it already sucks).

I swear with each passing day it is harder to find any distinction between the irrational thought process of half this country and those raving sand monkeys in the Middle East.

A definite case of the shysters masturbating the shysters.

"There's no doubt that Reverend Sharpton is the contemporary civil rights leader of our time," said Schultz. "He is peerless," oozed Harris-Perry.

MSNBC doesn't understand white liberal elites want to be comforted with a vision of Kunta Kinte vs an ignorant white Southerner... they want 'black and white' simple morality - where liberal elites are the heroes of the pure-as-the-driven-snow downtrodden.

The last thing liberal elites want to see is a black gang member type beating the sh*t out of a Hispanic for the crime of 'dissing'. Low information blacks might buy that story line, but intelligent white liberal elites have a difficult time with it.

That's why they quit watching. MSNBC made them uncomfortable.

Dr. King was interested in the content of our character.

Al & Jesse are interested in the content of our wallets.

When the only Black on the NINE SUPREMES, and the only Black US Senator were excluded from the MLK jr. Watershed Speech 50 th Anniversary Celebration, it is not difficult to jump to the conclusion that The Black Race Lobby in America is less interested in equality and superior achievement for Blacks than it is interested in excluding Blacks who do not agree with them politically.

If Blacks have become exclusive rather than inclusive toward their own Race, then what chance have any members of Non-Black Races of effectively working together with Blacks?

Has this “Exclude anyone who does not think like you” attitude been taught to them by White Democrat Politicians?’

Was this tactic used by White Democrat Politicians to return the Blacks to the Plantation Model, where only “Da Man” tells you what to think?

Are todays Leaders of The Black Race Lobby really a sad replacement for “Da Man” of the horrific Plantation System?

Have Blacks traded in the financial and physical shackles of the horrific Plantation System for the financial and intellectual shackles of the Pro-Welfare Democat Party Plantation System?

When can Blacks say “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty we’re free at last!” ?

Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Allen Keyes, Dr. Walter Williams and Dr. Carson are all Black intellectuals of note.

Were any of them invited to the MLK jr. Speech Celebration?

If not, why not?

If “The Dream” in the speech is to become a reality, it must first start with Blacks including Blacks.

This simple first gesture would be a great example to all Races that seek “The Dream” of Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior.

________________

BTW Reverend Al Sharpton, what have you done lately to promote harmony between people who think differently politically than you do?

Start with those that have the same color of skin that you do - - - , patience, patience - - - .

You CAN do this Reverend Al!

Just ask yourself what would Jesus do?

If they shared a brain, it would still be well below average.
