Al Sharpton: We’re Ready to Commit Civil Disobedience Over Arizona Immigration Bill
Gateway Pundt ^ | 4/25/10 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/25/2010 1:01:57 PM PDT by blueyon

70% of Arizona voters agree with new immigration legislation signed into law on Friday. But, not Al Franken or Barack Obama. And, New York City’s Al Franken says he’s ready to organize protests and commit civil disobedience over the new Arizona immigration law. The New York Post reported, via Free Republic:

The Rev. Al Sharpton says he will challenge Arizona’s new immigration bill in court and on the streets.

Sharpton is joining Lillian Rodriguez Lopez from the Hispanic Federation to announce a legal challenge to the bill. They say activists are also prepared to commit civil disobedience to fight the Arizona immigration bill.

I think Joe Arpaio can find a pink jumpsuit that fits the Rev.

I live for the day!

It’s getting very close to the time where we taxpayers are going to commit some “civil disobedience” right back at you, you fat slime encrusted taker of other people’s money.

So illegal must be treated as legal...

To someone with no belief in property rights I guess that makes sense...

I guess whiling their marching their car, their house, their money, all their stuff is all legal for anyone to take and use

Sharpton and his ilk could care less about the will of the people. They are demagogues drunk on power.

We are ready to break the law for those who have broken the law.

How quaint.

Good, I’m ready for him to go to jail, not that he shouldn’t already be there.

Big Al:

He says he owns no suits, but has ‘’access’’ to a dozen or so. He says he owns no television set because the one he watches in his home was purchased by a company he runs. He says he has no checking accounts, no savings accounts, no credit cards, no debit cards, no mutual funds, no stocks, no bonds, no paintings, no antiques. The only thing he admits to owning is a $300 wristwatch and a 20-year-old wedding ring.

The finances of the Rev. Al Sharpton have a somewhat troubled history. He was indicted on charges of income tax fraud and stealing from charitable donors in 1989, but was eventually acquitted at a trial. In 1993, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failing to file a tax return for 1986. His eponymous promotional company has no official documents on record with the state. As recently as two years ago, he drew no salary, but he still manages to send his daughters to an expensive and respected private school.

Mr. Sharpton has always been studiously circumspect when talking about his pocketbook in public, yet this month he suddenly announced that he could not afford to pay a judgment entered against him in the Tawana Brawley defamation case. As a result, he gave a lengthy deposition to lawyers for the man that he was found to have defamed, Steven A. Pagones, a former prosecutor whom Mr. Sharpton claimed had raped Ms. Brawley 13 years ago.

The deposition was never made public, though excerpts from it were given to The New York Times by a supporter of Mr. Pagones. It offers a privileged peek into the byzantine world of Mr. Sharpton’s personal finances as he considers running for mayor. In its combative back-and-forth and unintended humor, it sketches a portrait of the fiscal Al Sharpton, a man who claims to own virtually nothing but has almost everything he needs.

Why any black person would support this chaos is beyond me.

I hope the cops and National Guard of Arizona are ready to round these crooks up at the next big riot.

Yeah, Al, baby, I think you don't know the definition of either "civil" or "disobedience."

Did someone mention Albaby?

What he should be saying is “I'm going to make fools of the dopey Blacks that follow me. I'll get them to demonstrate against a law that helps save their jobs but they're too stupid to know it.”

I smell a trap. If I was going to set up the Tea Partiers with bait for violence, Al Sharton and friends would make the short list.
