Al Sharpton: the man, the legend, the hypocritical bigot

If ever anyone ever needed to shut the hell up, it's Al Sharpton, let me tell you.

Someone makes a verbal slip, and he's up on his soapbox, demanding that the poor bastard that made the mistake pay with his or her career.

If he's truly into that, the "one mistake and your out with no recourse" thing, I humbly submit these choice quotes for your review:

"White folks was in caves while we was building empires ... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

"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."

"If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house"

"We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."

There. That's FOUR times Mr. Sharpton has made racist, inflammatory, or homophobic comments in public. By his own rules, he should be stripped of any and all public positions he has and never be allowed to speak in public ever again.

So... either put up, or shut up. Either take yourself out, or quit preaching hypocritical, self-serving hatred.

I'm waiting, Mr. Sharpton.
