The White House response to Ferguson wouldn’t be complete without a meeting with Al Sharpton, the infamous agitator who has become President Barack Obama’s “go-to man on race,” in the words of a Politico headline from last August. So Sharpton was inevitably one of the civil-rights leaders at a White House meeting Monday. The president no doubt passed up the opportunity to direct Sharpton to the Treasury Department up the street, which would surely love to have him visit and make good on all the taxes he has avoided paying through the years. A New York Times report found that...

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who came to prominence as an imposing figure in a track suit, shouting indignantly at the powerful, stood quietly on a stage last month at the Four Seasons restaurant, his now slender frame wrapped in a finely tailored suit, as men in power lined up to exclaim their admiration for him. Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo hailed him as a civil rights icon. President Obama sent an aide to read a message commending Mr. Sharpton’s “dedication to the righteous cause of perfecting our union.” Major corporations sponsored the lavish affair. It was...

Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday again exposed MSNBC’s Al Sharpton for deceptively editing a video, this time to make it appear the Factor host was disparaging Nelson Mandela within hours of his death. “Sharpton uses the occasion of Nelson Mandela's death to dishonestly attack people he doesn't like,” said O’Reilly. “They don't come lower” (video follows with transcript and commentary): Bill O’Reilly Slams MSNBC’s Al Sharpton: ‘They Don’t Come Lower’ BILL O’REILLY: Now, as a young man, Nelson Mandela had Marxist leanings and dealt closely with communists. Check out a recent article in The Economist magazine if you want...

Civil rights leaders such as the Rev. Al Sharpton and retail executives have hammered out a list of rules that will be tacked up inside stores to ensure that black shoppers will not be racially profiled and targeted just for buying a pricey item. Six weeks after the Daily News reported on a series of racial-profiling allegations from black shoppers, a coalition of high-end retailers and civil rights leaders came up with a “bill of rights” to protect customers from “shop-and-frisk” practices. The list was released to the media after getting final approval Monday morning at a meeting that included...

Think about it... what better ticket for Hillary... a real General to "pretend" concern for national defense.Clark is perfect..totally inept, completely liberal, and opting out of the primary fray... he is going to be Hillary's VP candidate after she wins a brokered convention.It's going to be 2004 NOT 2008 Hillary would never lower herself to grovel in a inter-party campaign and her "RED" agenda can't wait for another 4 years.

LOL, did you hear the 1st audio clip from the Rev. Sharpton just played on the Rush limbaugh show. He's carrying on and on about Bush in Africa. then he continues talking about Bush flying referring to "The Gulf Stream of his plane (Air Force One)". Perhaps old Al meant to call it the "VAPOR STREAM". The media gets all ove Bush for mispronouncing a word or two. Will they get all over Sharpton for a totally idiotic stupid statement which reflects the fact that this guy talks like he has a 6th grade education??Probably not, it's wouldn't be politically...
