Bad Radio vs. Just Plain Bad

Well, Don Imus got fired...Whoopti Doo! The guy sucked anyway, his show was boring and he was a big time liberal mouthpiece. I have nothing against the man personally, but I will not think twice about his not being on the air anymore. That being said this again brings a much. much larger problem to the surface in the form of the huckster express that is "Reverend" Al Sharpton. If appearences are to be believed there couldn't possibly be a bigger hypocrite alive? Rev. Al seems to make his living turning mole hills into racial mountains when it suits him to do so. As this columnist and our friends at Six Meat rightly pointed out he almost completely ignores the african american death march that is Rap culture in our country and zero's in on ridiculous men like Don Imus laughing all the way as he likely collects a multi-thousand dollar payday for each press conference and talk show appearence. Al is also seemingly not solid on the truth of the matter being the most important point in any issue. For example in what was probably the first and maybe the largest example of sharpton grandiocity...


From http://www.realchange.org/sharpton.htm

"in 1987, black teenager Tawana Brawley claimed that six white law enforcement officers -- including then-assistant district attorney Steven Pagones -- had abducted and raped her, scrawled racial insults on her body and smeared her with feces.

Miss Brawley refused to speak with authorities or the media, but Sharpton and her two other advisers were soon making wild claims. Sharpton compared then-state Attorney General Robert Abrams, a Jew, to Adolf Hitler. All three linked then-Gov. Mario Cuomo to organized crime and the Ku Klux Klan.

Within a year, a grand jury announced the story was a hoax and specifically cleared a Fishkill police officer and Pagones. Pagones sued Sharpton and the other 2 advisers for more than $150 million for defamation."

Since then uncle Al has been a part of almost every "alleged" white on black crime or defamation on record and has made hundreds of thousands of dollars while doing so. Most recently Don Imus and the Duke Rape case. The first a stupid attempt at a joke by a silly man, the second a mistake much like the case in 1987. But that does not stop Al, he charges forward ignoring the real plight of the black community and lining his pockets with the currency of fear, racism, white guilt, and anything else he can think of to exploit to get his point accross.
