16 Facts About Al Sharpton the Media Won't Tell You

Seems the Rev. is about the same as some of the folks he wants to start riots for, wow what a shocker.



The Rev. Al Sharpton has been praised as a civil rights icon by prominent figures in politics, and "60 Minutes" reported that he has become President Barack Obama's "go-to black leader."

Sharpton has been frequently in the media for leading protests against grand jury decisions exonerating white policemen in the deaths of unarmed African-Americans in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island, New York.

A grand jury found "overwhelming evidence" that the rape allegation had been fabricated. Pagones sued Sharpton for defamation and won a judgment of $65,000. Sharpton reportedly paid the judgment with money raised by his supporters.

This is the one that stands out to me the most, just as I got out of HS. There is no doubt in my mind that Sharpton was behind the accusations. And I don't believe he ever retracted his statements or apologized. He's a racist and an opportunist. And when I see "reverend" in front of his name I feel like puking.
