Foxman and Sharpton Issue Joint Statement on Symbols of Hate

New York, NY, November 1, 2007….Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, and Rev. Al Sharpton, President of the National Action Network, today issued the following statement regarding the series of recent displays of nooses and swastikas in our community:

The recent epidemic of nooses and swastikas appearing in various places in our communities are acts of hate and are intended to intimidate and instill fear. Such acts are despicable, and we call upon all people of good will – of all races, religions and ethnicities – to stand up and say such acts will not be tolerated.

Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League makes Joint Statement with Prominent Racist and anti-Semite

The content of the press release, which rightly condemns hate symbols like nooses and swastikas, is not the issue. The issue is Foxman giving a professional hate monger like Al Sharpton credibility by issuing any kind of joint statement with him. By empowering and enabling an anti-Semite and racist, along with his hate group, Foxman has made the ADL into a sick joke.

Suffice to say that Al Sharpton is the same individual who called Jews in Crown Heights "diamond merchants" with "the blood of innocent babies on their hands." (We don't recall whether he provided a recipe for making matzo with the blood of those babies, as other anti-Semites who deal in blood libels of Jews have done.) The National Action Network is the same organization that paraded around a Jewish-owned store, Freddy's Fashion Mart, while yelling racial and anti-Semitic epithets, along with arson threats that were later put into effect with the loss of seven lives.

* Senator Hillary Clinton (NY): “I have enjoyed a long and positive relationship with Reverend Al Sharpton and National Action Network, and I don’t ever remember saying “no” to them and I intend to remain their partner in civil rights as I clean the dirt from under the carpet in the oval office when I am elected President”

* Senator Barack Obama (Ill): “Reverend Sharpton is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What National Action Network has done is so important to change America, and it must be changed from the bottom up.”

* Senator John Edwards: “I will work with National Action Network to fight poverty and seek justice for those marginalized in our society.”

Clinton's 'plantation' remark draws fire

Wednesday, January 18, 2006; Posted: 3:37 a.m. EST (08:37 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton drew criticism Tuesday for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in which she told a mostly black audience at a Harlem church that Republican leaders have run the House "like a plantation" and the Bush administration will go down as "one of the worst" in U.S. history.

Don't recall Sharpton pitching a fit about this ????

Or this:

Joe Biden chided for Racist Remark

You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking."

Or the countless degrading remarks that rappers make about women

Funny how a racist like Sharpton could even have the audacity to talk about racism. Al and JJ are two of the most racist individuals in our society. Do we need to mention Tawana Brawdley? Message to Al - start walking the walk and quit talking the talk.

Oh yeah funny how the media doesnt report how most of these incidents are actually perped by liberal blacks or Jews trying to incite hate. Columbia university is a perfect example - we still havent seen the tapes of the person who put the noose up - we all know its because they are protecting their identity.

Filthy race pimps are the lowest scum of the earth.
