7 of Al Sharpton's Biggest Lies

Lie #1- Most remember the Tawana Brawly case, not only was Brawley's story a fraud but it was Sharpton who at a a March 1988 news conference, blamed Dutchess County’s assistant district attorney Stephen Pagones for being one of Brawley's rapists. He also accused district attorney William Grady of trying to cover up Pagones’ involvement in the crime, and demanded that Governor Mario Cuomo arrest the two “suspects.” . Sharpton even told Spin magazine that Stephen Pagones had privately confessed to the crime. When asked for evidence of his claims Sharpton and his cabal insisted they would reveal the facts when the time was right. He never revealed that evidence because there never was any.  To this day the NBC News employee has never admitted or apologized for his lie.

Lie #2- Yosef Lifsh was the driver of the car that tragically struck Gavin Cato in Crown Heights during August 1991. Lifish was falsely accused by Al Sharpton falsely of driving drunk that night despite the fact he knew police tested his blood alcohol level and he was clean. Al Sharpton incited so much hate against Lifsh that he had to flee to Israel. 

Lie #3- Sharpton says his only role in the Crown Heights riot was attempts to make peace, but according to the sworn testimony of Efraim Lipkind, a Hasidic Jew and former resident of Crown Heights:

“Then we had a famous man, Al Sharpton, who came down, and he said Tuesday night, kill the Jews, two times. I heard him, and he started to lead a charge across the street to Utica. ---“

Lie #4- A false rumor began to spread that the Hasidic ambulance crew had ignored the dying black child in favor of treating the Jewish man, and that Gavin Cato died waiting for another ambulance. Actually the two ambulances were seconds apart and the police told the Hasidic ambulance to pick up an injured Jew. Despite the fact Sharpton knew the truth, he used the lie to incite the crowd at Gavin Cato's funeral. “The world will tell us he was killed by accident. Yes, it was a social accident. ... It's an accident to allow an apartheid ambulance service in the middle of Crown Heights. ... Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid. ... All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no kaffe klatsch, no skinnin' and grinnin'. Pay for your deeds."

Lie #5- Central Park jogger,” was monstrously raped and nearly beaten to death. Supporting the defendants Sharpton lied and said the jogger’s boyfriend did it and organized protests outside the courthouse, chanting, “The boyfriend did it!” and denouncing the victim as a “whore!”

Lie #6-Remember the controversy surrounding the Duke lacrosse team?  They were falsely accused of rape and without any facts Al Sharpton declared that these ”rich white boys” had attacked a ”black girl,” and he warned that if arrests were not made immediately, there would be no peace. The "victim" was proved to be a liar and eventually recanted---Sharpton never recanted.

Lie #7-The Jewish owner of Freddy’s Fashion Mart in Harlem was forced by its landlord a Black Church to raise the rent on a black-owned sub-tenant. Sharpton falsely blamed Freddy's for the rent dispute, and called him a “white interloper” even though the store had been in the same location for 40 years. Following one of the Sharpton incited demonstrations, one of the protestors, a black man, stormed Freddy’s Fashion Mart with a pistol, screaming: “It’s on now! All blacks out!” In addition to shooting, he set fire to the building, eventually killing himself and seven others. Sharpton denied having spoken at any rallies and refused to accept any responsibility for poisoning the atmosphere, but the Jewish Action Alliance had recordings of Sharpton proving he was lying.  While never acknowledging he incited the incident, the MSNBC Star did apologize for calling Freddy's owner a white interloper. He claimed his error was not leaving out the word "white."

Remember when Obama Lied about his position on Gay Marriage to get elected?

But Obama said Islam has always been a part of America's history

Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history."

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE

Dear Mr. Obama:

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?  Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.

Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day?   Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution?

Declaration of Independence ?

Bill of Rights?

Didn't think so.

Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ?  No.

Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ?   No, they did not.

In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery.   Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves."  Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?

Not present.

There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era?

Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture.   So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband.   Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?

Where were Muslims during World War II?

They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?

If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East .   No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network's that day.  Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11.   To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.

And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ....

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates.  They were Muslims.

And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .

Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America

Muslim Heritage, my ass.

Terrible Deeds Committed in the name of Democrats

Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, possibly the first grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, spoke at the 1868 Democratic National Convention. Most Klansmen were Democrats. The party refused to condemn the Klan as late as its 1924 convention, a gathering wags called “the Klanbake.”

Woodrow Wilson, a progressive Democrat, was a white supremacist who re-segregated the federal workforce. Segregationists were part of the New Deal coalition and were running mates even to liberal Democratic presidential candidates into the 1950s. In 1956, 99 of the 101 politicians who signed the racist “Southern Manifesto” were Democrats.

The major civil rights legislation of the 1950s and 1960s were supported by a lower percentage of Democratic members of Congress than Republicans. This included J. William Fulbright, who was a mentor to Bill Clinton, Al Gore Sr., who was father of the future vice president, and Robert Byrd, an ex-Klansmen who was the Senate Democratic floor leader until 1989 and an elected Democrat until his death in 2010.

George Wallace, Bull Connor and Lester Maddox were all Democrats… By now you get the point.

We don’t need to ask whether liberals think any of this history is relevant to the Democratic Party today. They’ve told us repeatedly.

When then-conservative Bruce Bartlett wrote a book about the Democrats’ past racism, the Washington Monthly’s Steve Benen dismissed it as “cheap and silly.”

“If history ended in 1965,” Benen concluded, “Bartlett may have a legitimate point.”

Or as Matthew Yglesias put it, “that was all quite a long time ago.”

Not longer ago than the history Obama and Coates cite in comparing Christian supporters of slavery and segregation in the 19th and 20th centuries to ISIS today. (Coates curiously downplays the extent to which Christianity also played a role in abolishing slavery and segregation.)

It’s all much more recent than the Crusades or the Inquisition.

If we’re talking about Christians or Americans, there is a direct link between the distant past and today. If we’re talking about Democrats, it’s all ancient history.

It’s almost like saying that bringing up the weather to argue against global warming is stupid but bringing up the weather to argue for it is really smart and sophisticated.

All analogies break down somewhere. There’s obviously less continuity between the Democratic platforms of 1860 and 2012 than Christian doctrines from the early church to today.

Most liberals would say that whatever the sins of past Democrats, what’s relevant is where the party stands today. The same is true for the president’s history lesson: whatever sins have historically been committed in the name of Christianity, ISIS is setting people on fire right now.

The United States abolished slavery in 1865. ISIS still practices it.

Yes, we should resist the urge to dehumanize or make enemies of all Muslims. The Jordanian pilot brutally murdered by ISIS was a Muslim. His countrymen who are risking their lives in the fight against ISIS are Muslims.

But we should also acknowledge that some of the things jihadists fight for, such as the death penalty for apostates, have much more popular support in the contemporary Muslim world than Timothy McVeigh, the Olympic bomber, the Ku Klux Klan or abortion clinic bombers enjoy in the United States.

A 2013 Pew Research Center poll found that Muslims themselves often worry more about Muslim extremism than other forms of religious extremism. As noted above, the victims of Muslim extremists are often Muslims.

And while majorities throughout the Muslim world told Pew they rejected violence, the minorities were not trivial in number.

Our current president should have taken a similar approach. If history ended in 1215, Obama may have a legitimate point.

Seems like everything Al Sharpton touches comes up Tax Fraud

So far, every for-profit enterprise started by Al Sharpton and known to National Review Online has been shut down in at least one jurisdiction for failure to pay taxes, a review of public records in New York and Delaware reveals.

Records show that Sharpton’s beleaguered for-profit entities often overlap and intertwine, some sharing ties with the reverend’s nonprofit organization, National Action Network. Their financial records are copious, confusing, and sometimes outright bizarre, and together, they depict persistent financial woes for Sharpton, who also personally owes New York State nearly $596,000, according to active tax warrants.

“He clearly appears — based on the information that’s available to us — to have a history of noncompliance with tax obligations,” says Bernadette Schopfer, the director of taxation at New York’s Maier Markey & Justic, a certified public-accounting firm that has had no dealings with Sharpton or National Action Network. “It appears that [Sharpton] does not file [taxes for his businesses], and then opens up something else. At all the entities we see he has opened up, he has not been compliant with the obligations of the owner of a business. . . . He’s either willful in his behavior, or he’s just sloppy.”


Sharpton, who was traveling internationally, was unavailable for an interview, despite NRO’s numerous queries over several days.

Sharpton’s first for-profit company, Raw Talent, probably has the strangest set of tax-debt records. The company was incorporated as a for-profit entity in 1991, the same year Sharpton founded National Action Network.

Raw Talent racked up a lot of tax debt. According to a 2007 lien that appears to remain active, the company owed a total of $580,453 in federal taxes, and state records say it also owes $4,834 in New York taxes.

For some reason, the federal lien says the taxes owed are for the tax period ending in 1950 — long before Raw Talent was incorporated. (Perhaps this is a clerical error, Schopfer says.) The kind of tax debt listed is also strange: It’s listed under the code 4720, which signifies an excise tax on charities, even though Raw Talent was registered as a for-profit entity, not a philanthropic nonprofit. A spokesperson for the Internal Revenue Service could not explain this to NRO, saying privacy laws prohibit the agency from commenting on the tax situations of specific individuals or entities.

New York dissolved Raw Talent in 2002 for failure to pay taxes, but not before Sharpton opened up a new company, Revals Communications, in 1999.
