Paula Deen or Al Sharpton; which one should be ostracized?

Sharpton and MSNBC - perfect for each other  "Sharpton has a long history of racism and anti-Semitism that trails him wherever he goes, though this has been neatly excised by MSNBC, Bill Clinton and others who have found it politically useful to rub elbows with Sharpton. This has been a shameful practice - the likes of Sharpton have done harm not only to fellow African-Americans but to the nation as a whole."

The REAL Al Sharpton: Incitement of the 1991 Crown Heights Pogrom  "Al Sharpton is a user.  He exploits tragedy to get headlines for himself.  It's what he is doing in the Trayvon Martin Case--it's what he has done his entire career.  Though this story has been told before, I thought it appropriate to reexamine some the exploitative handiwork of this Reverend who has long forgotten the golden rule, a purveyor of hatred who  is given a place of honor as a civil rights leader by the mainstream media and by the President of the United States."

The first Sabbath after the Funeral Sharpton tried unsuccessfully to kick up tensions again by marching 400 protesters in front of the Lubavitch of Crown Heights shouting “No Justice, No Peace."

Parodies: Al Sharpton tells Obama he isn't down with the struggle  ;

The Architect of Destruction

Maureen Scott
"Obama comes from a community organizer background where it's us against them. But that's not who we are. And that's not the position the leader of our Nation should take." – Dr. Benjamin Carson

 

...."Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.

• Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
• Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming, and trustworthy force.
• Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people – on a daily basis!

"Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, and the epitome of a Demagogue."  Hat tip to JP Curnutt, Oregon

As long as Paula Deen is in the news, I think Al Sharpton should be as well

If sponsors are leaving Paula Deen, shouldn't they be deserting NBC because of Sharpton?

When Al Sharpton Incited a Massacre at Freddy's Fashion Mart   "Angelina Marrero . . . Cynthia Martinez . . . Luz Ramos . . . Mayra Rentas . . . Olga Garcia . . . Garnette Ramautar . . . Kareem Brunner their names will forever be remembered as the seven victims of the massacre at Freddy's Fashion Mart.  Their deaths can be traced to the racial incitement of one man.. the faux Reverend Al Sharpton."

Yet people continue to kiss Sharpton's ring for absolution of their sins; 2006: Sharpton: Michael Richard's apology not enough. "In an interview with CNN, Rubenstein said one of first pieces of advice he gave to Richards was to call Sharpton.
" "I knew that would be a good place to start," said Rubenstein, who is a longtime friend of Sharpton. "
It is true that Richards' rant was very much beyond the pale. I can think of many African- Americans for whom his words stir much pain and terrible memories that I feel shame for. I would not hesitate to ask their forgiveness, but the thought of groveling before this demagogue is too much to think about.

Don Imus: Why Apologize to Al Sharpton?  "Apologizing to Al Sharpton is more ironic than anything else, when you consider his shining record of slander and racism.  Between the results of the Tawana Brawley incident and his on-record slurs against Jews, he hardly seems to be the go-to guy for the maligned. ....  I wonder if anyone asked for Sharpton’s resignation when he called Jews “diamond merchants” from the pulpit?  Or when he was sued – successfully - for the slanderous remarks he made in the fallout of the Tawana Brawley case?"

We fail to recognize the true harm done to blacks in our past, yet the way so many have shown forgiveness to the source of that pain and truly desired to reconcile with I regard as nothing short of heroic. How sad that their reputations have been besmirched by these demagogues of the left who seek only power and money.
This nation has been torn apart, perhaps beyond healing by the actions of these sharks.

Let's sum Sharpton up with this:  Al Sharpton’s Long Bill of Goods, From Tawana Brawley to Primetime
 "As a ‘Times’ documentary revives one of the many ugly incidents from the reverend’s past, it’s time NBC accounted for its decision to rehabilitate and promote him, writes Stuart Stevens."
