Sharpton is the father of the sucker punch. He is the piped piper of Harlem.

[Christian4Bush]

As if Lardball’s entire performance at the “debate” wasn’t one “sucka” punch after another...

Damn these people piss me off. And they wonder why the American people have entrusted them with the WH for only 8 of the last 28 years...and only 12 of the last 38 (as of 2008 of course)

Attention Chrissy Matthews, who has such selective memory:

Tawana Brawley

Freddie's Fashion Mart

Duke

Matthews is, simply put, a jerk.

[Chuck54]

Glenn Beck on CNN has the Rev Sharpton backing and filling. He does not believe a word Sharp is saying and is more or less telling him so.

Good show, watch it if it repeats.

[WOSG]

I’ve said if I’ve offended Mormons with the misuse of my words I would apologize to Mormons.”

Yes, he’s offended Mormons.

Now, did Sharpton ever apologize to Jews for Crown Heights riots and the death of a Jewish store owner he caused?

Did Sharpton ever apologize for Tawana Brawley’s false accusation destroying an innocent man’s life?

And why doesn’t Chris Matthews bring that up in every single Sharpton interview, the way he brings up the Mormon thing in every single Romney interview?

Is Chris Matthews goal to lay the groundwork for President Hillary or to do journalism? Do I even need to ask that question?!?

[shalom aleichem]

It was a mistake to allow Matthews to moderate the GOP candidates debate on MSNBC. If there was no one else, the candidates should have turned it down. Imus similarly elevated Sharpton by crawling onto his show to grovel and apologize ad nauseum.

[Inspectorette]

I used to think Sharpton was a disgusting, race-baiting buffoon. Now I think he's a dangerous, disgusting, race-baiting buffoon.

This charlatan has inexplicably been elevated by the media to a position of power. Democratic candidates bow and scrape and kiss his, er, ring. He can make or break careers, which is absolutely astonishing. Who ever elected him to be a "leader" in the African-American community? If I were AA, I would not want to be represented by him anymore than I, as a white woman, want to be represented by the odious Rosie O'Donnell.

Reverend, indeed :-((

[weegee]

Has Al “Jew them Down” Sharpton decried House Speaker Harry Reid (D-Mormon) yet?

[Seruzawa]

Why is that fat blowhard even around? If that jerk Matthews ever treated my wife as rudely as he does his conservative guests he’d find himself having a visit from Dr. 2x4, D.D.S.

[weegee]

The same media that elevates this antisemite are in bed with him. They are all slime and evil.

If every stopped posting hardball stuff and laura would stop talking about it, it would already be in the ash bin of history.

[HangnJudge]

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” (Galatians 5:22)

I think by his actions, Sharpton is demonstrating his spiritual development and true credentials as a “Reverend”

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Posting about Hardball and other MSM is kind of my job.

[Lancey Howard]

I agree: Matthews is a jerkoff.

[Lancey Howard]

If every stopped posting hardball stuff and laura would stop talking about it, it would already be in the ash bin of history.

Exactly correct. I have many times said the same thing about that assclown (Keith Doberman or something?) who apparently has a show on one of those obscure cable networks - - if I didn't see his name on FR threads, I would never see it at all.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Absolutely!

[LS]

But the “alternative” media isn’t enough. There really must be a “new, new media” to completely overthrow these pigs. They are the elites at the trough, jackals at the carcass, and I’m absolutely sick of them.
