The Rev. Al Sharpton was introduced to a packed church in the Hill District yesterday as "a warrior, an agitator, an activist and one of God's champions."

Sharpton, an outspoken civil rights and human rights leader from New York City, then lived up to his billing by urging the enthusiastic congregation at Monumental Baptist Church to shed its complacency and "stand up and say you'll do what's right even though it's not popular."

[pittsburgh gop guy]

Uh, whatever Al, excuse me, Rev. Al. Go back to jail you America-hater.

"Something about this doesn't smell right to me," he said.

No that smell is you Sharpton. You don't smell right. You are going back to your old ways of racially dividing this country. You are stinking up New York with your hatred. I wish you would go away.

[afz400]

Sure smells like Hillary's idea - Sharpton doesn't think of these things on his own.

[Republicus2001]

I detest America-haters and evil-doers

Sharpton is right to be suspicious about Homeland Security, it is a threat to liberty.. Probably not his at first but it is the beginning of a National police force with unlimited power if they decide you are supporting "terrorism".

[mountaineer]

Of course, the IRS won't dare investigate the propriety of this church's tax-exempt status.

[ChocChipCookie]

I think Mr. Sharpton is feeling way, way too important. Probably took in too much oxygen while he was in prison, being visited by all those "luminaries." He needs someone to give him a reality check.

Who pumped up this fat asshole and got him started. He is seeing Jessie get hammered and figures now is the time to make his move. Can we put him on the target list for the B2s when they start their runs?

[Teacher317]

Exactly right. Well put.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

If the Office of Homeland Security enforced the laws of nature, Sharpton would be doing life in the pokey.

[mombonn]

This guy is disgusting through and through. HE talks about materialism and superficiality????? Rev. "somebody LITERALLY gave him the shirt on his back" sharpTON.

[Hacksaw]

Sharpton, an outspoken civil rights and human rights leader from New York City,

So if you lie about a hate crime and try to ruin the reputation of cops, lead a protest which results in the death of a store owner, and make an anti Semitic statements, that makes you a civil rights and human rights leader in the eyes of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

"Even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in awhile."

I have to agree with you. What happened was an act of war and must be responded to as such. I don't want bin Laden to go on trial. He and his ilk must be eradicated. But I have a greater concern about what is being done in my name to protect me than I do about those who perpetrated these acts against us.

[SoothingDave]

The Tribune-Review quotes him spouting off about "if those terrorists had been young black me wearing baggy jeans they never would have been allowed on these aircrafts."

What a pig.
