So, Sharpton is going to crack down on all those rappers degrading black women and promoting violence?

We’d better not hold our breath for that to happen.

And now that Dems hold Congress, they’re going to bring up the Fairness Doctrine again. Republicans are going to be wandering in the wilderness again for 40 years if they don’t get some backbone and start standing up for themselves. We need some red meat or a lot of people are going to stay home.

No, that would be considered "cultural", art and free speech. Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc.....now that's "hate speech" where the left is concerned.

Glenn Beck asked him this question. After numerous attempts to avoid the question, he pretty much said it was the record company’s fault, not the rappers.

No, that is a different “industry” to Sharpton and one which he prefers not to touch, since the black element of it is money-making and he can call it something other than it is (i.e., degrading to women “Did I hear some lyrics about rape in there?”, violence-provoking, filty language and all). We will see him dance around the truth and act like it doesn’t matter at all. The only thing that matters to Sharpton is Sharpton. Oh, yes, and getting Imus fired. That’s a big one to him. That puts Sharpton back on the map.
