Who is the real Minister of Hate? Tony Perkins or Al Sharpton? Both are ordained ministers—Sharpton was ordained at the age of 9—and both have addressed the controversy over Charlottesville.
Perkins wants both sides to take a pause, and recommends a Day of Prayer. Sharpton wants all public funds to stop paying for the Jefferson Memorial, saying “you’re asking me to subsidize the insult to my family.”
The media would have us believe that Perkins is the Minister of Hate. They cite the organization that he directs, the Family Research Council, as a hate group. The evidence? It is so listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Its evidence? The Family Research Council supports marriage, properly understood, and opposes gay marriage. That puts Perkins in the same boat with the Klan.
I know of no hateful comments ever made by Perkins, but there is a long list of hateful speech, well documented, made by Sharpton.
Sharpton cut his teeth on hate. In 1987, he took up the cause of Tawana Brawley, a teenage girl who said she was raped by white boys. She said they forced her to perform oral sex on them, urinated into her mouth, smeared feces on her, and covered her chest with racial slurs. It was all a lie. A grand jury heard exhaustive evidence, and concluded that Brawley’s account was a hoax.
Sharpton not only defended Brawley, he accused an assistant district attorney, Stephen Pagones, of being one of her assailants. Pagones sued Sharpton for defamation, and a court agreed with the attorney, ordering Sharpton to pay him $345,000 in a settlement. To this day, Sharpton has never apologized.

In the past Sharpton would have been selling snake oil, or possibly a pimp. Being a race baiter pays a lot more these days, especially a “Rev” race baiter.
Bill Donohue always seems to get it right. More Catholics need to follow his lead.
Sharpton is exactly what we’re not allowed to say in polite conversation, because that’s what he is.
Nine year olds can't spell "ordained" and are clueless on what it means. Sharpton is still clueless on many levels.
SPLC is a communist organization. Never has done anything but stir up racist hatred among people of color.
They have blood on their hands from years of fighting American culture and history, causing death and destruction.
He has zero theological training....and it shows.
