Breitbart "If offensive slurs are a problem for the left, why does Al Sharpton have a primetime slot on MSNBC?
"The left has started a war against Rush Limbaugh -- a war it cannot win. Limbaugh said something for which he later apologized, and rather than accept that apology, the left and its media allies decided to exploit the situation, turning it into a crusade to take an opposing voice off the air."
"Using MSNBC's own standards, should the man who once said the following be allowed to hold a primetime MSNBC slot?
David Dinkins, you wanna be the only nigger on television, only nigger in the newspaper, only nigger that can talk. Don't cover them, don't talk to them, 'cause you got the only nigger problem.

"That's MSNBC's Al Sharpton--many years ago, but just as shocking today. I can already hear the excuse -- that it's okay for him to use the N-word because he's black."

He hired him nonetheless. One has to wonder if Brian Williams, Matt Lauer, and Tom Brokaw are proud.
Shocking audio tapes of MSNBC star Sharpton surface. "One could go on and on here. This is before you even get to MSNBC's Sharpton calling the prosecutor in the Tawana Brawley case, who is Jewish, "Mr. Hitler." This is before you get to the New York Post reporting Sharpton saying "I have no problem with Khalid Muhammad." Khalid Muhammad, of course, was the one-time number two to Louis Farrakhan, well on record as saying of Jews that they were "hooked-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating, so-called Jews" with "hairy hands" that are "pimping the world."
