Al Sharpton thinks Rush Limbaugh should be shunned by the NFL. Rush never incited a murderous mob the way Sharpton did. So which corporations funding Sharpton and his National Action Network, instead of shunning him? The National Legal and Policy Center provides a list:

Limbaugh was also never successfully sued for defamation, as the “Reverend” was. The deadbeat Sharpton never paid a piece of the judgment against him, either - Limbaugh has more responsibility than that.

This vile, lying person Sharpton should be shunned by decent people.

Maybe that's our problem.
Murderous mobs generally get their way.

So, Sharpton is a 'corporate welfare queen'!!

If these corporations had some decency - they would not be backing anyone like him. He'd have to get a job to support himself so that he didn't have time to go around making trouble.'

There is probably a list of them that support Jesse Jackson too.

Amazing how these two grifters are called Reverend!!

Sharpton does have a rather impressive list of corporate sugar daddies that he has shaken down but, of course, it simply cannot compare to the list that goes to the credit of Barack Obama.

Detectives Endowment Association alleged Sharpton had "purchased testimony" for witnesses and survivors in the Sean Bell shooting, but the National Action Network claimed it only supported the victims through victims compensation funds.

"How many state and federal investigations have you been through with me? Whatever it is, it's part of the territory. I'm a public figure." --Al Sharpton, Feds Subpoena Sharpton Best Dressed Men of 2008. He dumped his addidas track suits with gold chains for "lapeled vests" said to be a sign of "good taste".

What? Good taste and Al Sharpton used all in one sentence?

Who pays for those designer suits Al?

When asked that very question:

"Are they paid for by National Action Network?", Al stated, "No".

"....would say half my suits are gifts. The suit I have on, a guy gave me."

Q: Have you ever purchased a suit for yourself?

A.: Not lately.
