Revisiting Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton
My latest piece is up at PJ: “Revisiting Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton.”
Plus é§a change, plus c’est la méªme chose.
And Al Sharpton has never been riding higher than he is now, having been given the White House’s cachet of approval.
Sharpton is as close to an emissary of Sauron as anyone I can imagine. He is a despicable human.
Part of the problem that Mayor De Blasio has with the police and with the non-lefty part of his electorate is his association with Al Sharpton.
Black Sheriff: De Blasio Should Drop Sharpton
One problem that De Blasio would have with disentangling himself from Al Sharpton is that Al helped him get elected.
After Tawana Bradley, after …… I find it difficult to see why politicians associate themselves with the likes of Al Sharpton. Birds of a feather, perhaps.
The stormtroopers have been vested with the authority of the United States of America. Either that Authority is justified … or the Regime lacks legitimacy. Which is it?
Why should they? They have suffered absolutely no negative repercussions. In fact, in Sharpton’s case, he has risen to the point where he’s visited the White House 85 times.
Not to mention that Sharpton owes the IRS possibly millions in unpaid taxes and has not received a fraction of the scrutiny that Tea Party and other conservative groups have received from the IRS.
Just my opinion but I think it is a deliberate campaign on the part of the Obama administration to exacerbate divisions in this country and cause further unrest. Subsequent to Ferguson, the federal government’s delivery of military weapons to local police has surged.
Obama and the left continue their fundamental transformation of America. The race bait theater is simply providing a distraction while the wrecking of the American economy continues. As does the concentration of power to Washington, beyond any semblance of being constitutionality allowed. When Sharpton ceases to serve a purpose, he too will be thrown under the bus.
JJ:
“Sharpton is as close to an emissary of Sauron as anyone I can imagine. He is a despicable human.”
Sharpton has incited more murders than Charles Manson:
Crown Heights – 2
Freddie’s Fashion Mart – 7
NYPD – 2
Death toll is 11 and counting and yet he is a welcome guest at the White House.
I may have posted this here before but my outrage over this is extreme.
“Confrontation and demands are not necessarily a bad thing, and without them it’s very possible that the cause of racial equality would not have advanced as far as it has.”
Confrontation would not have been “necessary” if the Democrats were not continually undoing the many Civil Rights Acts that long preceded 1964, and if the Republicans didn’t give up on Reconstruction and permit the South to wreak vengeance on the new citizens.
The Civil War has never ended. We let the Democrat Party live to continue to use and abuse Negros. The Democrat Party, established to support and defend and expand Slavery, should have been abolished and repudiated as thoroughly as the Germans have the Nazis.
It’s no surprise that the Communists gained the full allegiance of the Democrat Party. Soulless, corrupt, hateful, bloodthirsty and profoundly destructive. The only American political party to have a terror-sowing military wing. Having once invited utter destruction to fall upon the entire American Experiment, they continue to provoke the apocalypse that they imagine will grant them the reins of domination.
Lincoln didn’t go far enough. His, and our, enemies live on, and our Republic is now under their most audacious assault ever. Hillary is expected to simply handle the mop-up operations.
I love Sheriff Clark. A “vulgar human being”…yes, that’s our Al, proud successor of the mentor who shoved his hands into MLK’s blood, vile murderer and sower of rapacious dissension…vulgar indeed.
While there are a lot of Gruubers, there are also many, who are not, and who will acquaint themselves with objective reality.
Yet, it is spitting into the wind. The battle is on multiple fronts against the media and its pimps for whom this is an important revenue and notoriety stream, as well as the opportunists, like pols, and activists who exploit these events for their own self aggrandizement. Then there are the self important, but needy, people for whom this is an occasion to exhibit their hero complex; a raison detre to justify their existence.
Back in the 1980s, when I subscribed to the Village Voice, no one there seemed to have any problem saying that Al Sharpton is was and has always been a scumbag. I’m not sure what changed.
Leading up to 2004, when the Democrats were in some disarray after Gore’s loss in 2000, Sharpton put himself forward as a candidate with no chance but if you brought up his past you were racist. He got a lot of air-time on Meet the Press and NPR, and — Guess What? Like many crooks, he can be funny, at least compared to a stiff like John Kerry, and people got used to him. All was forgiven, more or less, and he had Jesse Jackson’s old campaign manager advising, who certainly knew how to play the race card. So he’s hung around and made a lot of money out of an act you couldn’t get away with back in the days of the somewhat similar Adam Clayton Powell.
I used to read the Village Voice in the 1980s also – they carried it at the overseas Stars & Stripes bookstores. Yeah, they had no problem acknowledging him as a scumbag, first, last and foremost.
Yes, but the talent level in the democrat’s pot has gotten so low, the scum has floated to the top.
neo – Thanks so much for doing that reminder.
(I’ve written about Sharpton’s record from time to time, but not recently about the Tawana Brawley hoax.)
People often mention Sharpton’s many visits to the Obama White House — but they don’t always mention that Obama has honored him by inviting him to events like the state dinner for French President Hollande.
Nor do they mention his bribe taking. For example, Sharpton never gave Mayor Bloomberg much grief — and he did get payments from Bloomberg.
You want to neutralize Sharpton? Get rid of race based preferences. We have race mongers and gender mongers (radical feminists) because we allow white men to be treated as ‘sin eaters.’
The fact that such an obvious and repulsive slime bag is in the President’s inner circle is horrifying. It is like the administration is being run by people who play the race card for personal gain. Oh, apparently – it is!
