Media skip other side of Sharpton: 'Hate-crime perpetrator' given a pass
Rocky Mountain News ^ | February 25, 2006 | Kopel

Posted on 04/12/2007 6:47:17 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

In 1989, a young woman jogger in Central Park was viciously raped and beaten by a gang of youths. Sharpton led a mob outside the court which claimed, without a shred of evidence, that "the boyfriend did it," and screamed that the victim was a "whore."

At a rally in Harlem, Sharpton denounced a Jewish small business owner as a "white interloper," and then stood by approvingly while one his associates incited the crowd to violence. Later, a listener killed seven people in the store. Sharpton then lied and claimed he had never been at the rally.

Sharpton helped incite a murderous anti-Jewish pogrom in Brooklyn when he gave a speech at a funeral of a black child who had been accidentally killed by a Jewish driver. Sharpton announced, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." He also organized a boycott of small grocery stores owned by Korean immigrants. He called New York City's first black mayor, David Dinkins, "that n----- whore turning tricks in City Hall."

In 1994, Sharpton explained black cultural superiority: "White folks were in caves while we were building empires. . . . We taught philosophy, astrology, and mathematics before Socrates and those Greek homos."

Note how Sharpton called an actual rape victim a "whore," a Black mayor a "n***** whore," and used gay sexual orientation as a slur. Feel free to copy (not link) the following:

Ten-second sound bites:

Al Sharpton = David DuKKKe in Blackface

If David DuKKKe delivers the votes of the dregs of Causcasian society, whose votes does Al Sharpton deliver? (Note that John Kerry and Ned Lamont both welcomed Sharpton's support.)

Not right...this is about silencing those who don’t agree with them...it is part of the liberal desire to control all of us who are not part of the elite.

I don't think you got my point...Imus is indeed one of their "elite", and he's just been tossed to the wolves, to slink away into the hitherlands with his banked millions....(so it won't hurt so much).

I remain quite pleased to see a liberal pukeface scumbag like Donald Imus getting bitchslapped from his own side. There is NO downside to this, except for the hysterical folks here who are raving that "Rush is next! bla bla bla"

That is eggs-acktly what is happening. It is a move to reenact the "fairness doctrine" and more federal control of talk radio. Neal Boortz explains it on his blog today.

Good synopsis of Sharpton’s career - he hasn’t apologized yet for any outrage.

Unlike the words of Imus, $harptons word and actions have actually caused the death of at least 7 people. And he still has the spotlight in the leftist media.

. . .Imus may just be the 'sacrifice'; so they can better legitimize their efforts when they go for their real targets. . .

That said; it is an amazing site; the irony of may. . .or may not be, lost to Imus but it is sending shock waves to those who do.

Does Imus recognize their faces. . .does Rosie?

If you really believe Limbaugh is the ONLY target, I have some carbon credits to sell you. WE ALL are the target of this campaign. We better stop it before it to late.

Are you including the police officer who commited suicide because of the smears cast upon him during the Tawanna Brawley episode?

The morbid consequences here of Sharpton's self-serving, 'do-goodism' were totally lost on Geraldo this evening; who was determined to hold his admiration for Sharpton in going after Imus.

Well, for the sake of correction; let the following read. . .

That said; it is an amazing sight; the irony of which may or may not be, lost to Imus; but it is sending shock waves to those who do.

Taking down one of their own (who had minuscule ratings) was a small & acceptable price to pay for those on the left with a larger agenda - all conservatives in media.

RE: Imus Wikipedia states:

“Allegations of of racism, misogyny, and homophobia
See also List of controversial Don Imus quotes on women and minorities

Imus and his crew, Charles McCord and Bernard McGuirk, have been repeatedly accused of racism, misogyny, and homophobia.”

RE: Sharpton:

“Alfred Charles “Al” Sharpton Jr. (born October 3, 1954) is a Pentecostal minister, and political, civil rights, and social justice activist. In 2004, Sharpton was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

Though often not far from controversy, Sharpton is known for being a fiery and charismatic speaker, receiving significant media publicity. He makes regular appearances on many talk shows, in particular the O’Reilly Factor.[1] [2][3] Sharpton also has his own radio talk show.[4][5]
...
Don Imus Remarks
In April 2007, Sharpton called for the firing of radio host Don Imus after he referred to the women’s basketball team at Rutgers University as “nappy-headed hoes” on his morning radio show, Imus in the Morning. On April 9, Imus appeared on Sharpton’s radio show during which Sharpton again indicated that he felt that Imus should be fired, asking if he was ready to sign his resignation. The following morning, Imus and Sharpton went head to head once again on NBC’s Today Show. On April 11, MSNBC dropped its simulcast of the show. On April 12, Imus was fired by CBS, effective immediately. [23]

RE: Hip Hop:

“Many credit the sensation caused by the track as another defining moment in hip hop music and culture. The mainstream media began to focus on one of the greatest impacts of hip hop; instead of fighting with guns and knives, former gangmembers had a new way of battling — through break dancing, rapping, turntable mixing, and graffiti.”

When a white man does it, it’s bad. When black men do it, it’s cool - stops violence.

The Situation:
Wikipedia , http://www.wikipedia.com , describes itself as “ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” It also claims to be unbiased, objective, formal, scholarly, and generally as reliable as any other encyclopedia . None of these assertions are true. I have diligently tried to correct blatant falsehoods, supplement with other perspectives or well-documented sets of facts, and write other articles presenting those facts. All have been rejected.

The Challenge:

Go to Wikipedia and search out your favorite movie star, politician, minister, historical hero, singer, historical event, religion/philosophy, etc. If you see non-factual material, attempt to edit it. If you run into the same run around that I did, proceed to the next section below.

The Plan:

Return to Wikipedia frequently editing as many radomn articles as possible with anything and everything. It matters not if it is nonsensical or legitimate. Messages about their blatant editorial bias would be especially helpful. Continue doing this while passing these instructions onto others.
