The Rev. Al Sharpton has always been keen to maintain his reputation as the least plausible cleric since Elmer Gantry.
The racial tension and riots in Ferguson, Mo. have proved to be the perfect vehicle to do just that.
Not just satisfied with creating unrest in one beleaguered Missouri city, though, the “Reverend” is looking to go national with his “peaceful protests” that worked out so well in Ferguson.
With that, Sharpton’s group, the National Action Network (NAN) has put out a list of national protest sites, because apparently just one city experiencing hellish violence and racial strife just isn’t enough. [H/T Gateway Pundit.]
“In anticipation of the impending grand jury decision in Ferguson, MO, National Action Network (NAN) Chapters are encouraging community members to join them when it is announced,” the statement reads.
“Regardless of what the decision is, NAN chapters in over 20 cities around the country will gather.” So you lose either way.
If Officer Wilson is indicted, the release says, the protests “will focus on what would be a teaching moment on how to deal with national legislation for policing.”
I had personally thought the unctuous, condescending, leaden idiom “teaching moment” had been retired, but apparently it still lives on in the lexicon of the professionally-offended.
“If the Ferguson grand jury decision clears him of criminal charges then NAN will call for protests to remain peaceful and for the federal government to come in with a federal grand jury to move for civil rights charges on excessive force,” it continues.
Yes, just like the “peaceful” protests that Sharpton and other leaders have led in Ferguson up until now..
Given their previous success at keeping their civil disobedience peaceful in Ferguson, you might think that Sharpton and his compatriots might have decided to forego these mass gatherings this time, but no, they’re going to keep right at it.
We all know that when Al Sharpton uses the phrase “peaceful protest,” it’s done with a nudge and a wink.
It’s an meaningless blanket get-out-of-jail-free card meant to keep him out of trouble when these race baiting spectacles inevitably spiral out of control.
It seems that Sharpton seems to sense the writing on the wall as to how the grand jury will go.
This week, Sharpton wrote a piece in the New York Times, suggesting that we do away with the grand jury process (at least in cases like Officer Wilson’s), and merely take the person to jury trial.
Because if the facts don’t work out in your favor, change the rules. And if that doesn’t work, break stuff.

Perfect choice...just do not give him a ‘get out of jail’ card.
Once Holders convicted it would take a battalion of stalins to ever get him out from behind bars...
The fire is not on the roofs of houses, but in the mindless crack smoking Useful Idiots possessing the streets
not if you are black
Washington, DC is not on the list either. Why is that??
Isn’t a policy of burning your own community down even more stupid than crapping in your pants for the fun of it?
Nationwide Race Riots??
They sure got this one wrong didn’t they?
Sharpton is in a race to the bottom with Hussein Obama for the sleaziest criminal on the planet. A scratchy rope would look nice on this pig.
Maybe Sheila Jackson Lee can stir up some trouble in the 3rd ward.
Please he’s no reverend(runt fat-ass), not at all. Let’s stop playing in to the lefts BS. I never have heard him pray, never heard him speak of Jesus or give any sermon nor are there any through the bible tapes with millionaires of hate Jesse Jackson, Obola the king wanna-be or Holder or Sharpton.
All they are is haters big ugly race baiting haters and they’re getting their race war( we are all human race as evidenced by DNA except some of these haters must have chromosomal damage).
Now they want to burn up America similar to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler Moooselini...so many and they are killing each other but refuse to listen, have the journalists on their die, have the courts on their side, have the house and sentate not giving a rats patooie them we stand alone.
Do not help foment this madness unless you have to.
Sadly I’ve been assaulted way too many times in riots and worse and have no more life left after’ the last one( and yes they[the state government] tried to make it in to a race deal...so please bbe careful and document everything EVERYTHING.
Looks bad guys and gals.
I can only pray Jesus who probably wasn’t dark enough would get cold cocked in this crap, heal then then they’d crucify him all over again.
ASaguin, F-— these haters, so tired of listening to the old tired rhetoric when it’s them who are intolerant, then throwing the first bottle, punch and them verbally abusing ith their own history because they have control of the media...it’;s so sickening, so very sickening. I wish folks could see how mashed up I got back when and the whole government I WORKED for/served turned on me...forgive them Lord for they know not what they;re doing.
one of these days this lib ahole is going down hard.
He live one election to the next until someone has the balls to enforce the law and lock him up.
I don’t follow this stuff like I used to, but I can’t recall anyone waiting in the wings to take Al’s place when he goes to his reward.
spelling error there Karliner, it’s Mooochelini
If he had been white, he would have already been in prison for tax evasion.
ditto!
The reason they torch their own hovels is because they rely on billions in Obama-money being pumped back in for this decade’s urban renewal after the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared. They want er ‘r ‘ body to be gettin’ subsistence allowances—an extra $500/week/mother+sperm-donor+chil’, in addition to the extra freebies, of course. It just wouldn’t be right that white be allowed in to those freebie lines, just as their faces won’t be allowed on-camera in Toronto.
HF
Because mexicans hate blacks.
Thanks, I suppose a Moochruedian slip ain’t so bad?? Or not.
