Thanksgiving can mean different things to different people depending on their point of view, whether it is William Jennings Bryan suggesting it’s an acknowledgement of dependence, or Rush Limbaugh suggesting it is a lesson of self-reliance and a rejection of collectivism.

But MSNBC host Al Sharpton had something else in mind for his reflections on this holiday. On his Wednesday radio program, Sharpton gave thanks for the Occupy Wall Street movement.

I am grateful for that.”

Al Sharpton is an illiterate buffoon. Giving this criminal clown a TV show proves the total moral bankruptcy of the left.

OWS is a surrogate of the Democratic Party. Don’t let these people fool you again.
