So umm, where is Sharpton on O'reilly ? He was all over Imus...

[deacon]

and now? Where's the outrage?

[Pawel K]

1. Great question. nt

[deacon]

6. I want to hear why there is a difference from him- expain to us Mr.

Sharpton why this is any different than the Imus incident.

[CatWoman]

9. why don't you try listening to his radio show

for starters.....

[AlCzervik]

2. considering he was the one that went to dinner with Billo that night it would be nice

to hear from him.

[Tim4319]

3. Instead of questioning Al Sharpton

How about giving him some support while he is addressing the Jena 6 issue. I'm sure he will handle Bill O'Reilly soon enough. Believe one thing, love him or hate, he is dedicated to making a change so that all people will get a fair shake.

[Pawel K]

38. He's got my support regarding Jena 6 but...

I expect him to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Imus was a prick, but nowhere on the level that O'Reilly is. We can certainly benefit from the same actions that we all took against Imus being taken against O'Reilly. And I am simply taking the OP's word as far as him not speaking up, if he already did kudos to him.

[babylonsister]

4. I'd like to know, too. Great question. nt

[annabanana]

5. hmmmmm yeah. . . Hey Al?

wasssup?

[CatWoman]

7. I would have all of you know that today Warren Ballentine, Al Sharpton and

Michael Baisden have been all over this.

I listen to them locally on this station: http://www.classicsoul1025.com/home.asp

Ballentine tried to call to invite O'Reilly on his show to discuss this, he had Al on his show discussing it.

Baisden kept trying to call Fox News, and they kept hanging up on him. Al was also on his show.

Al's show airs between the two.

Just because it's not on CNN/MSNBC/etc. doesn't mean that Blacks are outraged over this bullshit. And Sharpton leads in the outrage.

I might add that if it weren't for this station, I wouldn't have known about the Jena 6.

I also want to add that these three men were the driving force behind the march in Louisiana.

11. Catwoman, you nitwit!

How dare you get in the way of blaming a black activist for something a white racist said!

[CatWoman]

13. !!!

:hi:

:rofl:

[annabanana]

12. They were HANGING UP ON HIM?

Oh now that's rich. I think this story's just going to get bigger..

[CatWoman]

14. yup

All they were trying to do was invite O'Reilly on to their show to discuss what Bill-o said.

[Chovexani]

15. O SNAP

(Have I mentioned lately how much I love you, CatWoman? :loveya:)

[CatWoman]

16. awwww

shucks :)

[fishwax]

18. always nice to see some facts injected into the knee-jerk credibility attacks

Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

[BlooInBloo]

23. "Sharpton" is basically white code for "oversensitive black folks are making shit up again".

[Chovexani]

27. !

:rofl:

You win at life.

[fishwax]

41. lol!

nicely put! :rofl:

[Tim4319]

20. Catwoman, I agree!

I live in Kennesaw and work in Alpharetta. I too listen to Warren Ballentine, and you are right he was all over this. Al Sharpton is only one person, and I am sure in due time he will be heard from.

I stated in a post earlier, instead of bashing Al, how about giving him some support? However, people these days have that train wreck mentality.

[CatWoman]

21. thanks, Tim

:hi:

we Georgia DUers are going to hold a get together in the near future.

I'm posting a thread in the Georgia forum in a little bit.

Hope you can join us :)

[Tim4319]

22. I will keep an eye open for it!

[LittleClarkie]

39. Well, there you go again

bringing up facts.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Obviously Sharpton hates black people.

Either that, or he hasn't got around to issuing a comment yet.

[CatWoman]

10. he was on Capitol Hill all day, meeting with Conyers, et al

about the Jena 6.

Conyers has agreed to hold hearings.

[BlooInBloo]

17. Is Al Sharpton the only black guy white folks know or something?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. I won't be satisfied until Jaleel White addresses this issue!

Yo, yo, yo, Jaleel! Wat up?!

[Chovexani]

29. Did he do that?!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

32. Fuck this thread, it's completely sold out. I'm out of here.

I'm going to go invesigate suspicious activity over at Nakatomi Tower.

[Chovexani]

33. Okay, soda up the nose is no good for my sinuses

:rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

34. lol!

[Tim4319]

24. I am so glad to see people standing up to foolishness!

I am so tired of people bashing Al Sharpton. I am so tired of people bashing Jesse Jackson. Being a black man, I have too much respect for these gentlemen, and many more like them because, whether you like them or not, they will challenge the wrong that is going on in this country. For those people playing Monday morning quarterback, what are you doing to address the Jena 6? What are you doing to address Genarlow Wilson? What are you doing to address Meagan Willimas? These gentlemen, plus many others have put their lives on the line, and the only thing people can do is criticize them for it! This is crazy!

[NOLALady]

36. You left out

What are you doing to address/denounce O'Lielly's dumb comments?

[Dukkha]

25. I'd like to know why he was with O'Reilly in the first place?

was everyone in the world he knew out of town that night? Why waste any free time that that revolting pile of shit? You just don't dine with the enemy.

[judaspriestess]

26. he is a repuke shill

there was an article posted on here a while back (maybe 4 months ago)on how sharpton has very close ties with a repuke campaign advisor. After reading the article I became convinced he is a shill and situations like these only makes it more obvious.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

28. One time, at band camp...

some folks said that Sharpton was Hugo Chavez in disguise.

[Chovexani]

31. OMG!

I heard Al Sharpton tasered Tawana Brawley at Circuit City while she was breastfeeding in a miniskirt.

Trufax.

[mark414]

30. who cares? where's O'Reilly on O'Reilly?

[Chovexani]

35. Loving on a falafel no doubt

Not that I have anything against pitasexuals.

[Dukkha]

37. It was just mentioned on CNN

they said O'Reilly called and "screamed at them at the top of his lungs for a long time"

really? that's so unlike him :sarcasm:

[Catherine Vincent]

40. I guess all the Imus fans are upset at Sharpton because they think

he doesn't have a problem with O'Reilly.
