Rev. Al Sharpton: Rush Limbaugh's Comments On Steinbrenner Were "Repugnant"
NY Daily News ^ | 7/13/10 | Celeste Katz

Posted on 07/13/2010 8:01:40 PM PDT by pissant

The Rev. Al Sharpton did not particularly care for the (your adjective here) comments about late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner by Rush Limbaugh, which I blogged here earlier in the day:

"The statements made by Rush Limbaugh about George Steinbrenner were repugnant and offensive whether they were intended to be facetious or tongue and cheek. The fact that he could make these comments less than 24-hours after Mr. Steinbrenner's death makes it even more offensive. For the last 20-years I have known George Steinbrenner and we have quarrelled over diversity and community programs but I always found him fair, direct, and genuinely prone to do what he felt was right. He generated a lot of money for a lot of players as well as for baseball as a whole and should not be disparaged in any matter. In later years, in a twist of irony, his granddaughter and my daughter became close, which only brought me closer to knowing him and we developed a mutual respect. Mr. Limbaugh and his broadcasters owe his family an apology that the first day of their mourning to have to be subjected to this type of rhetoric. To think that just a year ago Mr. Limbaugh sought to be an owner of an NFL team and has now said this about a legendary baseball team owner. This says more about Mr. Limbaugh than it does Mr. Steinbrenner."

“That cracker made alot of African-Americans millionaires...”

Thats it, thats the statement that we’re going to hear for the next week, and it’s going to be played over, and over again along with all the blubbering about what a racist, and vile thing it was to say.

Remind yourself of all the things we’ve heard about Governor Palin, and all the things that black panther party creature has said, and marvel at the selective outrage over these few words from Rush.

Well, to people like Sharpton, it’s pretty repugnant to call someone a capitalist.

I have no idea what Al’s using on his hair, but he needs to stop. I think it’s causing brain damage.

And HOW did they meet exactly? Where do children meet each other - IN SCHOOL ... and as court depositions showed, despite Al Sharphand having no assets, his children were going to the best private schools in NYC>

I can see the liberals in Congress right this minute trying to figure out how to pass an ex post facto law and a Bill of Attainder rolled into one and get it to pass constitutional muster.

Tawana Brawley is Rev Al’s only legacy. The rest is all bluster. Go play in the road, Rev.

Instead of “Cracker's” maybe white folks should call each other "Nabisco's" so white folks have their own out bounds "N word"

"Hey, Yo..what up Nabisco!"

So REVEREND...where is all of your indignation when it comes to the new black panther party threatening to kill white babies? Huh?

You know, we've minded our own business and let things go, but I'm beginning to think the likes of you, Jesse, Shabazzo, et al just want to be perpetually pissed about SOMETHING...anything.

ANYTHING that will get your mugs on television and let you scatter your testesterone around is really all you're after.

I mean, it COULDN'T more rights...you got more right now than anyone on the planet.

You're pathetic.

"My Dad wrote a book about Steinbrenner..."

My dad served under Lieutenant George Steinbrenner at Lockbourne AFB way back in the '50s :-)

I heard Rush make those comments today. He said, beforehand, that it was going to cause the Liberals heads to implode.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

The Rev-ruhnd Al is so dumb he thinks "satire" and Sapphire Stevens, the Kingfish's wife in Amos and Andy, are one and the same.
