"Col. Allen West wrote about Al Sharpton’s response to the Oscars’ “all-white” nominees and his suggestion puts the “controversy” into proper perspective."

"West, never shy about pushing back against black leaders such as Sharpton, pointed out that this is only the second time in the last twenty years that only white folks were nominated for best actor, actress or director.

I’d like Sharpton to explain why all the BET awards winners went to blacks.

Ha! Can’t wait to see the outcome of old Al’s shakedown meeting with Sony.

Hopefully, they’ll produce a tell-all movie about Sharpton’s drug dealing, his agitating and resulting fire and deaths at Freddy’s Fashion Mart, his support of liar Tawana Brawley...and more! A real tell-all should be in the works.

Now, I would pay to see that, LOL.

What Sharpton wants is set-asides that aren’t called set-asides.

"In the NBA, it’s like outer space Al — the higher you get, the darker it gets."

Read the rest for context, but this quote is just great and Colonel West is spot on with his criticism.

I think that the DNC is running low on money. Al Sharpton is shaking down Hollywood not only to donate to him, but to cut large checks to the DNC as well.

This man takes himself as the reincarnation of MLK. He is not. He is a disgrace to this country.

He knows he is not; he is simply a low-rent imitation fabricated by the media. I remember back in the day (before Giuliani banished him to the shadows for years) when the news showed a protest in NYC; despite their best camera-play and efforts, anyone could see it was a groups of less than a dozen people surrounded by twice as many cameras.

Obama’s campaigns started out in the same manner; false hype. By 2012 there wasn’t even that left, just a deflated candidate beating an opponent who had been savaged by the media for months on end...

The only question I have is this:

Who gets to play Sharpton?

Rosie O’Dumbo? Or Oprah?

Oprah is perfectly suitable for "Sharpton The Early Years"....but id be hard pressed to guess who could play the new Slimmed down version of the great charlatan
