Sharpton: a one man shakedown machine

"Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal met with the activist preacher after leaked emails showed her making racially charged comments about President Obama."
Sharpton notably did not publicly assert his support for Pascal after the meeting — what observers say seems like a typical Sharpton “shakedown” in the making. Pay him in cash or power, critics say, and you buy his support or silence.

“Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by threatening companies with bad publicity if they didn’t come to terms with him. Put simply, Sharpton specializes in shakedowns,” said Ken Boehm, chairman of the National Legal & Policy Center...

And Sharpton, who now boasts a close relationship with Obama and Mayor Bill de Blasio, is in a stronger negotiating position than ever.

“Once Sharpton’s on board, he plays the race card all the way through,” said a source who has worked with the Harlem preacher. “He just keeps asking for more and more money.” (read the whole thing)

Marine holding the door open for the cockroach. Ew.

Instapundit had a bold take...

"IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO HAVE HIM KILLED, AND IN MOST COUNTRIES THAT’S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN: How Sharpton gets paid to not cry ‘racism’ at corporations.

So I guess his loathsome existence is, in a way, proof of just how civilized we are."

Sharpton is a gangster. A clever one, right out of Whitey Bulgar's playbook. Sharpton has enlisted the Fed as his enforcer. Bulgar had the FBI and the MA political establishment in his pocket.

Played a Hells Angels party with the Dawgz over the holidays. At first, I was wary of playing for the Angels, as if it were in bad taste.

"White guys are entitled to have their own gangs," one of the Angels told me.

After a moment of thought, I agreed with him.

Red Bill De Blasio has commented on the fact that some police officers turned their back on his empty eulogy at that funeral for Officer Liu. The Sandinista Mayor said:

“Those individuals who took certain actions this last week––or last two weeks, really––they were disrespectful to the families involved. That’s the bottom line. They were disrespectful to the families who had lost their loved one. And I can’t understand why anyone would do such a thing in a context like that.”

Let's review who was disrespectful and who was not. De Blasio did not show up for the wake for Officer Ramos until 9pm after it was over. He missed the eulogy from the Officer's minister and more importantly the moving tribute from his son. What did he possibly have to do that was more important than being there early to show his "respects?" This is the guy who went to the gym instead of attending the funeral of Herman Badillo who was a pioneering leader in the Hispanic Community. What does he have against Hispanics?

Did you ever attend a wake? What you do is you show up early and show your respects. You sit quietly and maybe say a prayer. You might participate when the priest or minister or rabbi says a prayer. Or not if it is not your tradition. You sit there and show your "respect." I have been at wakes and memorials and services for almost every religion and creed in my day and I always saw everyone show up on time and be respectful.

Unless they were worthless communist scumbags.

He didn't show up late for Officer Liu's service. He came. He stayed for fifteen minutes. FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did he have to do that was so important that he couldn't stay for more than the time it takes to fry up an eggroll? What does he have against Chinese people?

What does he have against Cops?

We know what he has against them. He had to warn his son that he might get killed by a racist cop when he is much more likely to get hit by lightning or eaten by a shark. He had to reinstate the Judge who let a perp walk who had posted terroristic threats against the NYPD just like the guy who ended up killing the two officers. He defended the chief of staff who has a boyfriend who is a career criminal. He has members of the his administration who post things like "Fuck the Police" on their twitter.

The proof is in the pudding. The pudding that is Al Sharpton that sits at his right hand when he makes decisions about policing the city.

I won't get into his wife and her associates and attitudes. I will just let you know that she wore a pair of jeans to the funeral.

Respect. Yeah. Right.

His wife is a bitch from hell. Written all over her.

De Blasio was born Warren Wilhelm, Jr. in Manhattan.

There is the start of the problem right there.

Know who's a real shakedown machine? This girl is, Dawg. That's who.

De Blasio wife showed up in jeans to Liu's funeral.

This was originally Jessuh Jackson's turf until he got greedy.

Same is happening here.

Watch for some revelation that will soon force him to spend more "quality" time with his family.

Sharpton is nothing but dog shit on a sidewalk. You see it, it smells, and you avoid it all costs. If you happen to get it on your shoe, well, you weren't watching where you were going.

He needs to be removed like all dog shit is, with a scoop and put in a dumpster. He's a creature of the foulest order. I'd say that to his his and then decontaminate myself shortly thereafter.

He seems like a nice, upstanding citizen just trying to improve the nation by asking us all to hold ourselves to the same high standards he insists on in himself. I'm humbled by this fine American role model.
