"rev" Al Sharpton faces audit

Posted on 01/10/2004 8:48:30 AM PST by TheGeezer

Washington (AP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Al Sharpton is the subject of a federal tax audit, a new financial disclosure report shows.

The report, filed with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday by Sharpton attorney Michael Hardy, said Sharpton is facing a civil audit. The Internal Revenue Service audit covers several years in the 1990s, Hardy said.

"We don't know what the result will be. They could owe me," Sharpton, a New York-based civil rights activist, said Friday in a telephone interview. Hardy said he didn't know what prompted the audit.

Sharpton's report to the FEC also shows that he earned at least $381,900 last year through various enterprises, including $120,000 from Rev. Al Productions for speeches and sermons; $78,000 from the National Action Network, his nonprofit social justice organization; $75,000 from Kensington Publishing for his book, "Al on America;" and $25,000 from PepsiCo. for his work as a member of the company's black advisory board.

Somebody is profiting from this "social justice organization".

I also just heard that certified malicious liar "rev" Al Sharpton and/or his staff accepted illegal services from auto dealer(s), and have been living very high on campaign contributions.

Sounds like certified malicious liar "rev" Al Sharpton is following Jesse Jackson's footsteps.

Funny. He told everyone he was broke and couldn't pay his fine from the Tawananananananana Brawley case.

HAHAHA! I wish the IRS would audit me just so they could tell me they owe me money. This guy could go down for fraud and tax evasion but he'd still have his supporters, the same ones he's been stealing from for decades.

Just think how much he can "non-profit" once he gets his grubby paws into the DNC's coffers.

Vote for Al! (But only in the primaries of course.)

Now that Deano has the primary wrapped up, in the upcoming democratic primary ...

BIG AL NEEDS OUR HELP NOW MORE THAN EVER!
*** Register as a democrat and vote for Crazy Al! ***


During the May 3, 2003 demoncrap debate in Columbia, S.C., our man Al stated “The way to move a donkey is to slap the donkey,” and “I’m going to slap the donkey until the donkey kicks”.

Let’s help Crazy Al slap the donkey until it kicks.

GW has the Republican nomination sewn up. Its time for all good republicans, libertarians, and independents to stand up and be counted. Lets take a page from Sen. McCain’s play book. Prior to the 2004 democratic presidential primary in your state, re-register as a democrat and vote for Al Sharpton!

Lets ensure Crazy Al gets prime time speaking rights at the 2004 nationally televised democratic convention. You gotta love it. Line up, sign up, and send this to all your like-minded friends.

Here is a link to planned 2004 primary dates from the National Association of Secretaries of State:
http://www.nass.org/Issues/04primaries.html

Check here for the rules governing primary voting in your state:
http://www.fec.gov/votregis/primaryvoting.htm

In case you’d like to send Big Al a donation:
http://www.al2004.org/

Anyone need a bumper sticker or button?
http://democraticbuttons.freeservers.com/

How about an Al Sharpton yard sign?
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/victorystore00/pryasi.html

Want to keep up on the latest on Big Al’s progress? Go to the Republicans for Sharpton website at:
http://www.republicansforsharpton.com/

Oh yea, and don’t forget to call the local demoncrap party headquarters and ask them the following before the primary election:

1. Can I get a ride to the polls – help them spend their money during the primaries so they’ll have less during the national election. Have them take you the scenic route and stop off and do some shopping on the way home.
2. Are you giving anything away free for voting democrat? Cigarettes, booze, box of cigars, box lunch, etc. Ask for two of each.
3. Send 25 cents in the mail to the DNC and watch how much they spend on mailing you to give to the party. Always send their solicitation back to them with all associated literature in the prepaid envelope included in the mailing. They have to pay that postage upon return. Great way to help them spend money and keep you up to date on their propaganda.

Democratic National Committee
430 S. Capitol St. SE
Washington, DC 20003

Main Phone Number: 202-863-8000

Can you think of any other questions we should ask them?

You better believe that the Klintoons accomplises in the IRS had this arranged. Why was Jessie Jaskson never audited???? Anyone going against the toons will suffer. Just think, GW had a chance to shut them up when he came in via the justice dept & he let them off on all crimes. Just part of the "Two-Party Cartel" protecting the top elites.

I love it, but how about a ten pennies instead of a qwuarter, a quarter seems like an awful lot of money to send to the democrats.

He doubles these figures with what he skims under the table.

Just a little more from other source-snipped


NEW YORK -- The Rev. Al Sharpton's low-budget presidential campaign paid for stays in swanky hotels, including a three-day Los Angeles visit with a price tag of more than $7,000, campaign finance records show.

Although his campaign has raised just $284,000, financial records filed through September showed Sharpton spent $7,343.20 for three nights at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles and $3,264.11 for one night at the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas.

The Sharpton campaign also spent $1,675 at an Oak Lawn, Ill., limousine service, and $3,645.82 for a stay at the posh Mandarin Oriental hotel overlooking Biscayne Bay in Miami, the records show.

Rush warned Big Al yesterday to keep his body guards close after his remarks about X42 a couple of days ago but even Bill Clinton can not work this fast...
