In case you weren't aware, the war against talk radio has officially begun. Again. At the helm is none other than that corrupt, lying race-pimp Al Sharpton. If the left wants this jerk to be the symbol of their campaign against talk radio, so be it.
Sharpton is launching a full-scale campaign to stifle conservatives heard over the "public's airwaves," and he is starting with the nail that sticks out the furthest: Rush Limbaugh. Earlier in the week, Al Sharpton had this to say on MSNBC .. which, by the way, will no doubt be the station that will champion the cause of stifling conservative broadcasting (because they KNOW they cannot compete with it on the open market place).
"We're not going to stand by and let publicly regulated radio and television just go for marketing and promoting this kind of racism," Al Sharpton said about his campaign to take Rush Limbaugh off the airwaves.
"Rush Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants to say, he does not have the right, though, to do it on publicly regulated airwaves. The FCC has the responsibility to set standards," Sharpton added.
"You can't say -- in the name of free speech, you can't say anything you want," Al Sharpton said on MSNBC. "We're not talking about stopping free speech," he added. "We're not telling Rush don't say what you want to say, say it at home, not on public airwaves," he concluded.
Yesterday we had Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center on the show with us to discuss this new campaign. He says, "This is the beginning of a concerted campaign across the board to knock conservative opinion off the air." Why does Bozell believe they are doing this? Because "they can't debate us anymore," so they've resorted to character assassination.
Bozell points out that they tried the Fairness Doctrine, they tried localism campaigns, and now their latest effort starts with the demonization of Rush Limbaugh. - Entire column > >
Blog author's comments - Al Sharpton is a race baiting fool who has made his living trying to ruin others lives using the tool he knows best -- the race card.
But he is a black member of the Democrat Party so that makes him an okay guy, a perfect fit on liberal news networks like MSNBC or any other network which cannot compete with conservative talk radio. The White House also enjoys this immensely. Limbaugh and others who do conservative talk radio shows give us information that the MSM refuses to even touch upon.
Sharpton has been threatening Rush Limbaugh for the past few weeks and now wants a meeting with the FCC to tell them that they should control what Limbaugh says or remove him from the airwaves because he is a racist. Is that not the pot calling the kettle black?
Let's take a look at some of the racist cases Sharpton has been in the middle of:
1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted and raped by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor who is wholly innocent — the crime never occurred — but Sharpton taunts him: “If we’re lying, sue us, so we can prove you did it.” Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation.
1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin’s funeral he rails against the “diamond merchants” — code for Jews — with “the blood of innocent babies” on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood. A rabbinical student is surrounded by a mob shouting “Kill the Jews!” and stabbed to death.
1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy’s Fashion Mart, Freddy’s white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. Sharpton’s National Action Network sets up picket lines. Some protesters shout, “Burn down the Jew store!” “We’re going to see that this cracker suffers.” One of the protesters bursts into Freddy’s, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.
Sharpton is also a liar, cheat and tax dodger. Overall a good fit for the Democrat Party.
On May 9, 2008, the Associated Press reported that Sharpton and his businesses owed almost $1.5 million in unpaid taxes and penalties. He owed $931,000 in federal income tax and $366,000 to New York, and his for-profit company, Rev. Al Communications, owed another $176,000 to the state.
On June 19, 2008, the New York Post reported that the Internal Revenue Service had sent subpoenas to several corporations that had donated to Sharpton's National Action Network. According to the Post, several major corporations donated thousands of dollars to the National Action Network. The Post asserted that the donations were made to prevent boycotts or rallies by the National Action Network.
On September 29, 2010, Robert Snell of the Detroit News reported that the Internal Revenue Service had filed a notice of federal tax lien against Sharpton in New York City in the amount of over $538,000.
Sharpton is a real piece of work. This is just a small sampling of what he has been doing to promote race relations in America and what he gets away with by somehow skirting the laws that most of us must live by.
