POS Should Pay His Taxes

I remember the exact moment I lost any respect for Al Sharpton. I heard an ad on the radio for one on those quick cash loan companies. Sharpton said something like "When I'm out fighting for the little guy, LoanMax is there for me."

It's such bullshit. Really a horrible, immoral thing to do. Cashing in with a company that preys on the "little guys" Sharpton claims to fight for.

To find out that he cheats on taxes doesn't surprise me or move the needle from where it's buried.

yes, he's a charlatan. I think the right talks about him more than the left, and to think he really "advises the president" is a big stretch. What advice does he give the president? does the president listen? Is this somehow worse than, say, when Dick Cheney called a closed meeting with all the big energy companies, and refused to release meeting notes or even a list of attendees? No one knows... but the just let the words linger in the air there... Sharpton ADVISES the President. Spooky stuff.
 
I didn't think it was possible to start a thread with less substance than zyxt's "Racism is alive in Texas," but I underestimated you clowns.

a NYTimes article that basically re-hashes Sharpton's checkered life and career - not news to anybody who hasn't been in a coma since 1985 - is somehow newsworthy, now in 2014... why?

I didn't remember he cheated on his taxes...but I may have heard it and forgot it. I guess it's not interesting enough for me to remember.

It is kind of amazing to me that he can still draw so much support. $1M on his last birthday? Who still loves this guy? The left should be sick of him.

Sharpton being a tax cheat is not much of a revelation.

Others who one would not be surprised to discover are tax cheats: Jesse Jackson, any religious figure who has a TV show, Sarah Palin, and all those speakers on the Tea Party circuit.

I think the reason he draws so much support, or at least has so many politicians around him on his birthday, is not because he's a radical or activist - they wouldn't be there if he was. It's just that he plays one on TV now. He's not actually rocking the boat.

Funny criticism coming from the guy who rehashes the same talking points about bush, Cheney, Palin, etc over and over and over and over and over...

Wow. So you're comparing the former POTUS, the former VEEP, and a nationally ticketed VP candidate to Al Sharpton? :lmao:

Puttin' lipstick on a pig so you can use the sarcastic laughing smiley. Typical.

Why I've heard you refer to all of them as moron's and criminals, so really the comparison, in your own mind should be pretty valid, no?

:p

no, I'm not comparing any of those people to each other but I'm not the least bit surprised that you don't get it.
