Conservatives Claim Al Sharpton’s New MSNBC Show Is Racist
A group of conservatives led by Andrew Breitbart have launched a campaign of mockery against Rev. Al Sharpton’s new MSNBC show “Politics Nation.”

Critics complaints started every since Sharpton was named the host replacing previous host Cenk Uygur, but they’ve ramped up their bashing more recently complaining about a segment Sharpton aired comparing GOP presidential candidates to pre-1960′s segregationist politicians.

Breitbart railed against Sharpton saying, “Considering Mr. Sharpton’s entire career up to this point has been defined by making loud accusations of racism through a bullhorn, we should not be surprised that this will be the content of his NBC News program. Lean Forward, indeed.

It was bound to happen. It was clear that that the vintage and vocal Al Sharpton was going to emerge as soon as he inked a deal with MSNBC.

EURweb is reporting that conservatives are complaining that his show, Politics Nation, is racially biased after he aired a segment about states' rights.

Since activist Al Sharpton's MSNBC show "Politics Nation" debuted with a punctuated address regarding states' rights, BreitbartTV has been in a tizzy, crying racism. They say his thoughts about segregation, when it comes to the issue of states' rights, are out of line.

BreitbartTV and other conservative websites has decided to enlist a campaign of mockery against Sharpton since it was announced the radio host and long time civil rights leader was replacing the network's Cenk Uygur.
