Sharpton Owes a Reparation
May 9th, 2007While Al Sharpton is a Democrat, he illustrates the religious divide that will destroy Mitt Romney to a T.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who recently urged that radio host Don Imus be fired for making a racially insensitive remark, said in a debate that “those of us who believe in God” will defeat Republican Mitt Romney for the White House. But Sharpton denied he was questioning the Mormon’s own belief in God. Rather, the New York Democrat said he was contrasting himself with Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author he was debating at the time. “As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don’t worry about that; that’s a temporary situation,” Sharpton said Monday during a debate with Hitchens at the New York Public Library’s Beaux-Arts headquarters.
Sharpton is a hack. He cracks anti-semetic jokes and makes excuses for everything he does then jumps all over white men to make money (and I’m still waiting for him to apologize to the Duke Lacrosse students).
Wonder what he would’ve said if Imus had said, “Well, I wasn’t insulting the Rutgers girls. I was just contrasting their hair with mine.”
