Sharpton Explains How He Manipulates Media on Race Cases

Earlier today, MSNBC's Al Sharpton threatened the peace of a small Florida town if it doesn't acquiesce to his demand for the arrest of George Zimmerman. According to the Orlando Sentinel:

If George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin soon, the Rev. Al Sharpton will call for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions. Sharpton would not say the efforts would be taken against the city of Sanford specifically, but he has been critical of the police department's handling of the case.

If only someone had warned NBC News that they were giving a prime-time platform to a vitriolic, race-hustling charlatan. Oh wait--we did. Even some journalists on the left did. Recently uncovered video from over twenty years ago has Al Sharpton, in his own words, bragging about his ability to manipulate the media to draw attention to his race-hustling agenda. And he's playing out his blueprint to a T in Florida today.

In the video seen below, Sharpton brags about his ability to manipulate the media through his grandstanding, demonstrations and marches. He pats himself on the back over being able to convert a “one day story” into an international sensation by giving the media what they want: drama, contention, provocative images and charges of racism.

I could hardly blame anyone for putting out a “wanted dead or alive” poster out on Sharpton.

by giving the media what they want: drama, contention, provocative images and charges of racism

...the video is an indictment media as well as Sharpton

[Cubs Fan]

from a column posted yesterday--

blacks are 7 times more likely to commit a crime. whites commit 3% of their crimes against blacks, blacks commit 45% of their crimes against whites.

so tell me again, I'm a bit confused. Who is oppressing who again?

“Sharpton would not say the efforts would be taken against the city of Sanford specifically”

So what will be the target of his boycott? Barrow, Alaska? Or does he want every business in the country boycotted.

It may be time to bring back the old practice of shunning.

Is there an occupation with less respect than media?

He could save his breath we already know the answer.

Well, the one nice thing about Al Sharptounge having his own show to spew hate and stupidity to the world...

MSNBC is now stuck with that stupid racist bastard. They can't get rid of him without being charged as racist or paying a bribe big enough to bankrupt a small country for him to quit.

They are stuck with ...This must we mush and munch this we will much...every day at 6PM.

I seem to be having a senior moment here. Here's the problem. Al says George was not arrested and needs to be. You see I thought I saw a video of George getting out of a police car and being taken into the police station. It kind of looked to elderly me, with the bad eyes, like George was kind of arrested/detained/taken in to custody for a statement/check out/ or something like that after the incident. Seems that after that, like many folks not convicted of anything, he was let go on his own recognizance. Seems like the Police knew where to find George if they needed him again, as George was not in hiding at that time. But it was probably just my lying eyes. Any other folks out there see the same kinda the thing. I'll bet if Trayvon had been driven to the police station and taken into the police station and had to stay there for a while they would be screaming, illegal arrest and Police brutality!

Sharpton is an example of why the US should be able to use drones to wipe out it’s own citizens who are betraying the country! What a waste of oxygen!

[mrsmel]

The candle (not being called a “rayciss” ) is not worth the game (giving into blackmail, intimidation, and threats because that’s the only way 12% of the population can control or compete with the rest).

[GOPJ]

Sharpton’s got it backwards - liberal elites would would run ads on CraigsList to hire his type - like they do for Occupy ‘protesters’ -( ‘rent-a-crowds’) if he wasn’t ‘around’.

Elites need Sharpton types to rabble rouse. If Sharpton didn’t do the job for free, elites would hire shills to gin up racial hate - black fear keeps white liberal elites in power.

Flash to the MSM: it’s NOT 1964... Bull Conner is NOT sheriff. George Wallace is NOT governor (both were Democrats... look it up)

Have you watched this?

I’ll go ahead and propose a term:

“RACISM FATIGUE”.

Get over it, already. Whaah. America is the least racist nation on earth.

Is there an occupation with less respect than media?

Congressman...

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Blah blah blah.

Whine whine whine.

B*tch b*tch b*tch.

America is good. America is kind. America is at this point in time, the least racist nation in world history.
