It is inconceivable that any candidate could expect to be elected President after making statements like these or similar ones, but Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards have done exactly that. They have openly endorsed a prominent racist and anti-Semite whose hate speech played at least an indirect role in inciting two violent incidents in which people were killed: the Crown Heights riots and the arson of a Jewish-owned store in Harlem. The source is not some Republican blog, but the racist and anti-Semitic hate organization itself. It is vital that readers circulate this information as widely as possible to underscore Clintons and Obamas close connections to an organization that is every bit as loathsome, and even as violent, as the Ku Klux Klan.
QUIZ: Who once called an African-American mayor a cheap n***er whore? (Answer below)
(A) Don Imus
(B) Al Sharpton
In addition, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) donated $15,000 to the same organization that marched around a Jewish-owned clothing store while shouting racial and anti-Semitic epithets, and making violent threats to burn the store down. This underscores what we have been saying about Rangels personal character, ethics, and integrity for a long time; he is unfit to hold any position of public trust or responsibility anywhere in this country.
...Picketers from Mr. Sharptons National Action Network, sometimes joined by the Rev. himself, marched daily outside the store, screaming about bloodsucking Jews and Jew bastards and threatening to burn the building down.
Link: sorry about the omission.
