Have You Listened To Al Sharpton?

Have You Ever Really Listen to Al Sharpton?


I just listened to Al Sharpton and I mean listened. What I heard bordered on insanity if offered as rebuttal to what Sharpton heard from O’Reilly. I believe O’Reilly’s accurately presented the reasons supporting his position on causes for the problems.

I believe Sharpton is attempting to appeal to a degree of ignorance I would not have believed just a few years ago,

Of course, different listeners would come away with differing conclusions but there must be limits to how different that difference can honestly be.

Here is a link to what I heard. Sharpton Fires Back At O’Reilly>

Does Al Sharpton sound like a man who is seeking honest solutions?

Why would I want to waste my time listening to him?

Fo shizzle......Whenever you put an idiot liberal’s words on paper...or in your case, really listened intently - they almost never make any sense. Sharpton fits this mold.

Naw, I don’t listen to him. Honestly, some people you really can just see, and know they are buffoons, therefore a waste of your time. What’s insane, is that our government and media brokers pay him any mind, those who really do, and those who just give him air to run his big mouth for their own purposes. Too bad both things affect those of us with nothing but votes which get cancelled out in this thugocracy.

I had once faced Sharpton and about 100 supporters who stormed the luxury hotel where I worked and demanded that my employer surrender a percentage of the rooms to the homeless. The chant “No justice, no peace” eventually morphed into “No Justice FOR TAWANA,” in support of the later-debunked rape accusations of black teen Tawana Brawley. Oh, and they broke a window while doing so.

So much for the peaceful “Martin Luther King, Jr. March for the Homeless” as Sharpton touted the event. Not a bright bunch, led by a not very bright charlatan.

At least I got to see NYPD handcuff the idiot and cart him off when he refused to exit the hotel.

I have a DVR. When O'Riley has liberals or RINO's on, I use the fast forward button. It typically takes 12 presses to completely bypass that segment and the commercials. I only watch when he has someone on who speaks some modicum of sense.

Even back in the day of Tawana Brawley, Mr. sharpton did not convey a credibility worthy of any further attention.

The media becomes useless fools when they repeat and broadcast his drivel. He has made his livelihood by using the media as his platform. Who in the world ever died and made him spokesman.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or Al Sharpton from any direction.
Al & Co. are a waste of time.

The black version of the KKK. But, he can get away with his bigotry and non-blacks can’t.

Low information voters use the “loudest mouth in the house” criteria for selecting their “leaders”. Narccisist are common in this bunch who go through orgasmic spasms at the thought of getting attention, or being on TV. Their favorite weapon is a microphone.

Not at all, and that’S O’Reillys main point. If those like Sharpton who make a very good living in the Race Industry really wanted to solve problems, they’d be saying and doing very different things.

But think about it...these people make millions as long as the problems continue, and if the trend actually started to reverse, who’d need them? What if the problems affecting black Americans were being addressed as successfully as, say the problem of smoking has been? You don’t see tobacco industry activists in the media trying to stir the pot like we do with race issues.

Me an Al are the same age (unfortunately). He was charging out of the courthouse in lower Manhattan one day, and by chance he and I bumped bellies. (He was much larger then, with conked hair and all.)

I immediately took advantage, and got in his face about Twanna Baloney. It turned into a nose to nose, trade spit bark fest.

I’m proud of myself. I never backed up, I never backed down. Here was a man I genuinely disliked. Even though he had celebrity status and I was just a pig farmer from the backwash of PA, ever epithet I ever wanted to use on the guy, I used. With some to spare.

And of course, he responded in kind. Lots of fun for me.

All of sudden, he starts this: “Hole me back, oh Lord HOLE ME BACK, I’m GONNA DO SOMETHIN.”

And all of a sudden there were about 2 dozen of his group pulling him away, pulling me away, wrapping arms around us and pulling us in opposite directions. (No one hurt me, or did anything other than pull us apart.)

I doubt Al baby even remembers it, he’s had so many nose to nose shouts like that.

But for ME, its a day I will take to my grave with a smile.

I have only listened to Al a few times in my life, but I think he believes his own BS.

It seems that the trick for Al is to learn the specious reasoning regularly used (and approved) for the support of the insane liberal ideas.

For example, giving and generosity in general are a good things.

Demanding results for such is an excuse the greedy use to forgo giving.

That's as far as they go in their deep thinking. No more is needed.

The result is of course shallowness, but digging deeper would reveal and inconvenient truth...ergo...don't go there.
