Here`s some info I looked up on Al Sharpton BEFORE he ran for Prsident. Remember, liberals had no problem with this guy running.


Freddie's Fashion Mart

It is also alleged that after calling a Jewish shopkeeper a "white interloper," he looked on while an associate of his suggested the man's shop should be burned down. When a black member of the crowd did so, killing several people and himself, Sharpton initially denied having been present. When confronted with a video tape showing his presence, he said: "What's wrong with denouncing white interlopers?" Sharpton later apologized for his remarks. Other such controversies center on purported offenses by Jews against black Americans, although in one case it is alleged he verbally attacked Korean shopkeepers.

Oh yeah, and if you`ll notice on that website they mention Bryant Gumbel which reminds me; Wasn`t it Bryant Gumbel who last year cursed out the Winter Olympics for being "too white"? My oh my, didn`t that dissappear fast.
