Rev. Al Sharpton may skip riot panel after Jewish groups protest

The Rev. Al Sharpton may skip a panel discussion in the Hamptons on the 1991 Crown Heights riots after Jewish leaders blasted the organizer for inviting him.

"I may or may not go. I refuse to play into their extremism," Sharpton said last night. "If it is not an event that will heal, it is not an event that I will partake in."

Controversial rabbi-to-the stars Marc Schneier planned the Sunday confab to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the violence in Brooklyn between blacks and Hasidic Jews. Schneier defended his decision to invite Sharpton, saying the event will focus on the state of relations between the two communities.

Hey Al, you're a riot

Well, if there’s anyone that knows about extremism, it’s good ol’ Rev. Al.

The whole thing is obviously a stunt to begin with for camera hungry jackasses to get their next 2 minutes of face time. Unless it's a panel to discuss how the blacks were pumped into a frenzy by the non-healer race-baiting Sharpton and then discuss how it was the mobs of blacks that rioted against the jews then there is nothing to discuss. The race-baiters like Sharpton still like to infer that it was all a two-sided confrontation when in reality it wasn't.

PS-Where did Sharpton acquire his divinity degree from?

"Violence between blacks and Hasidic Jews"?

I guess thousands of blacks rioting based on lies spread by Sharpton, chanting Nazi slogans, breaking storefronts, and attacking Jewish people (and killing one Italian guy who looked Jewish) and Jewish people daring to protect themselves and their property is "between."

The snake added venom. He should be an expert on the riots.

The panel may show Al was a participant in the riots. That’s more than likely, why he won’t show up.

Al Sharpton is a charlatan at the least and by abusing God as portraying himself as a minister...he’s going to be in for a rude awakening at Judgment Time? He’s going to burn in hell, no doubt?

[Nachum]

I think I might disagree with a Sharpton/Streicher comparison. He isn’t that bright.

He reminds more of an idiot bolshevik ranter in the Soviet Union. They are trying to make him a respectable ‘aparachik’, now that he is done inciting others to murder.

If the racist Sharpton organized a mob in South Carolina and killed someone, he would’ve been indicted under the state’s anti-lynching law and faced the death penalty.

In New York, he’s given awards and called “reverend.” The state of New York is run by liberal savages.

Ha. I figured as much.

This healing metaphor is bogus. People involved can either forgive or not. Society doesn’t heal, it evolves.

“Al Sharpton is a charlatan at the least and by abusing God as portraying himself as a minister.”

As a complete aside, this is the core sin of “taking the Lord’s name in vain” (together with trying to raise G-d with spells, as a witch would do a demon).

It has nothing to do with cussing.

(That’s just rude, not particularly a “top 10 sin.”)

Had this discussion today with my wife.

A reading test will be administered.

I refuse to play into their extremism," Sharpton said last night. "If it is not an event that will heal, it is not an event that I will partake in."

Somehow, having Sharpton effectively call Jewish people "extremists" hardly appears likely to promote "healing" in the community...

I wonder if Mr. Hymietown is available. Maybe one of Holder’s people at the Nation of Islam could fill in.
