Al Sharpton opened his MSNBC show Thursday with a look at recently-released footage of Sen. Ted Cruz’s father Rafael Cruz telling a campaign crowd that he’d like to send President Obama “back to Kenya” among other “extreme” views. “Like father, like son,” Sharpton said, adding, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Sharpton went on to condemn the “vile” comments made by Rafael Cruz, who he called a “rising star in the GOP himself. He called the senior Mr. Cruz “a tea party hero who is a prime example of how extreme and hateful towards President Obama the right-wing has become.”
“Rafael Cruz does a lot more than just follow his son’s career,” Sharpton continued. He quoted a National Review article that called the senator’s father “not merely a confidant and a stand-in, but a special envoy.”
Pointing to other ultra right-wing speakers who have shared the stage with Ted Cruz in recent weeks and months, Sharpton said, “The extreme elements aren’t fringe anymore. They’re front and center for the whole party and the whole world to see. It’s all in the family, GOP style.”
Like that racist should talk!
al not-so-sharp-ton is projecting.
Coming from the same crowd that said blacks would be hanging from lamp posts if Bush was elected president.
Mr. Rafael Cruz paid his dues at the hand of Castro. He received the torture that you only talk about. Mr. Cruz life story will put to shame anything oppression story you can spout. He is the real deal and you sir, are a phony. When you go back to hell you can explain your real lord and savior how you failed.
If the race hustler Sharpton is interested in "vile" comments he should listen to himself and his comments are all mostly lies.
Sharpton’s remarks show that he is a racist. He clearly doesn’t believe that Kenya is just as good as the US....because it is full of Kenyans. What does he have against Kenyans?
Sharpton looks like a bag of bones. Appropriate for Halloween! That racist pig needs to STFU! I remember Tawana Brawley and what you did to Stephen Pagones. You a-hole!
Let them chronicle the things actual elected Democrats have said about us
Sharpton probably lost all that weight by contracting AIDS.
Al Sharpton & Freddy’s Fashion Mart Massacre

Laughable that the left and msnbc rely on that POS for anything
Great entertainment.
Sharptons whole one hour show is whining about stuff Republicans say.
He always brings in two other Dems to join him in it. Joan Walsh is a favorite, she is great at looking upset.
Sharpton wants to compare Cruz to Cruz Sr. “like father, like son”. Ok now with B O and his father, the Communist, did the apple not fall far from the tree?? I’ll take the Cruzes any day over the BOs
The crazy liberal really go nuts when someone speaks the truth. They are so afraid someone might hear it know it’s right. Al Sharpton is the biggest joke on TV.
Chris Matthews, Madcow, Shultz and Sharpton would have nothing to talk about it there were no Republicans. It’s a joke. They all sit around and talk about how all the Repubs are so horrible then bring on more extreme lefties to agree with them. They NEVER have a 2 sided discussion ever. It’s Republican bashing the entire hours of their shows. I think it’s funny.
