Bitch...:lol

he probe into the Rev. Al Sharpton's finances intensified this week, with the IRS sending out a flurry of subpoenas to his most generous corporate donors, The Post has learned.
Anheuser-Busch, the brewer of Budweiser and Michelob, confirmed yesterday that it received a federal subpoena in connection to its charitable giving to Sharpton's National Action Network.
"We have received a subpoena and are cooperating with the IRS," the company said in a statement.
Sharpton blasted the subpoena as a "fishing expedition" and said his donors are proud of their financial support. The St. Louis-based corporation donated between $100,000 and $499,000 to NAN in 2007 alone, according to its Web site, but declined further comment about its relationship with Sharpton. A knowledgeable source said several other corporate donors received or would soon receive subpoenas.

Sharpton himself, his business entities and his nonprofit civil-advocacy group owe millions in back taxes, documents show.
The IRS and the US Attorney's Office in Brooklyn have an ongoing probe into Sharpton's finances going back to his 2004 run for president and stewardship of NAN.
Last year, state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo began a probe of NAN because it failed to follow state financial-disclosure regulations for nonprofits.
Cuomo's office has since turned over its NAN file to the US Attorney's Office.
As of 2006, the most recent year that financial documents for the group are publicly available, it owed $1.9 million in payroll taxes and penalties.
Ten NAN staffers were slapped with subpoenas this past December, and the Anheuser-Busch subpoena is part of the same probe.
News of the fresh subpoenas comes just days after The Post chronicled Sharpton's relationship with some of the country's largest corporations.
Sharpton threatened boycotts or protests against corporations while simultaneously soliciting donations and sponsorships of NAN events, The Post detailed.
Personally, Sharpton owes $931,397 in federal taxes and $365,558 in New York City taxes, according to an IRS lien.
The controversial reverend characterized the latest move by the feds as harassment.
"I think that this is a clear, transparent political investigation, because if they started an investigation in December, why would they be subpoenaing people after December unless they are on a fishing expedition?" Sharpton said.
"Most of my annual donors had already spoken to the IRS when we did audits. We do audits every year."
The IRS and US Attorney's Office declined to comment.

Anheuser-Busch gave him six figures, Colgate-Palmolive shelled out $50,000 and Macy's and Pfizer have contributed thousands to the Rev. Al Sharpton's charity.
Almost 50 companies - including PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal-Mart, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase - and some labor unions sponsored Sharpton's National Action Network annual conference in April.
Terrified of negative publicity, fearful of a consumer boycott or eager to make nice with the civil-rights activist, CEOs write checks, critics say, to NAN and Sharpton - who brandishes the buying power of African-American consumers. In some cases, they hire him as a consultant.

The cash flows even as the US Attorney's Office in Brooklyn has been conducting a grand-jury investigation of NAN's finances.
A General Motors spokesman told The Post that NAN had repeatedly - and unsuccessfully - asked for contributions for six years, beginning in August 2000.
Then, in December 2006, Sharpton threatened to call a boycott of the carmaker over the closing of an African-American-owned GM dealership in The Bronx, and he picketed outside GM headquarters on Fifth Avenue.
Last year, General Motors gave NAN a $5,000 donation. It gave $5,000 more this year, a spokesman said, calling NAN a "worthy" organization.
In November 2003, Sharpton picketed DaimlerChrysler's Chicago car show and threatened a boycott over alleged racial bias in car loans.
"This is institutional racism," he bellowed.
In May 2004, Chrysler began supporting NAN's conferences, which include panels on corporate responsibility and civil rights and a black-tie awards dinner to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Last year, Sharpton gave Chrysler an award for corporate excellence.
In 2003, Sharpton targeted American Honda for not hiring enough African-Americans in management.
"We support those that support us," wrote Sharpton and the Rev. Horace Sheffield III, president of NAN's Michigan chapter, in a letter to American Honda. "We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business with us in a statistically significant manner."
Two months after American Honda execs met with Sharpton, the carmaker began to sponsor NAN's events - and continues to pay "a modest amount" each year, a spokesman said.
"I think this is quite clearly a shakedown operation," said Peter Flaherty, president of the National Legal and Policy Center in Virginia, a conservative corporate watchdog. "He's good at harassing people and making noise. CEOs give him his way because it is a lot easier than confronting him."

Jessie Jackson funded his operation much the same way.

The twist with Sharpton is, he will also take an incident -- that just happens to involve an African-American on the losing end (i.e. Trayvon Martin) -- hype it up as some kind of racially motivated deed and begin working the media circuit as an expert on race issues.

It's kind of like the volunteer fire fighter who sets fires so he can collect the $25.00 payment volunteers get for every fire they respond to.

What I don't understand is why the hell does Sharpton have any credibility?

I pretty much always know the answer anyway since I am perfectly capable of looking things up. CC often posts things that can be backed up but he's just too lazy to do so. Others are flat out lying and could never find anything to back up his position if he tried.

Sharpton's shakedowns are fairly common knowledge, as are Jackson's.

Okay, just give me the latest example of something I've made up. Or, the one that is foremost in your memory.

Because, I don't recall ever being intentionally dishonest in this forum. Mistaken? Maybe. Just plain wrong in an opinion or characterization? Possibly. But, I don't recall ever intentionally lying about or fabricating anything.

And, ChumpDumper isn't on ignore because of his board arbiter status of holding me and others accountable. It's on ignore because of the incessant nipping at the heels. If it were the former, there'd be more of you on ignore.

I'm a big boy and can take someone disagreeing with me or even accusing me of being dishonest. No one should have to put up with ChumpDumperesque badgering. So, I choose not to.

I don't remember any conservatives asking what Sharpton thought after the Trayvon Martin controversy hit the media.

And, unless you're going to claim MSNBC is a "conservative" network, I'm not sure your point is valid.

“Check out this,” the flamboyant civil rights leader told me during breakfast at his organization’s annual meeting this week. He flipped through the program until he found a full-page ad with the logos of Fox News, the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal. “News Corporation Proudly Supports National Action Network’s 2012 Convention,” it said.

Sharpton grinned. “They bash me on Fox News,” he said. “But they sponsor my conference.”

Neither does your strawman. To imply Sharpton was responsible for the events you listed is to ignore his actual role, which was to personally capitalize on events that were already in motion. Which sounds just like any other pundit, in form if not always in scale.

Your feelings are and have been clear, but your argument seems to rely on those feelings instead of any legitimate facts.

And the political-correctness immunity routine is so tired, man -- give it a rest, why don't you? McVeigh explicitly acted out events in the Turner Diaries, by a white piece of shit named William Pierce. Was Pierce protected from liability for OKC by his PC immunity, or do we just happen to value the notion of free will in this country?

Smith [the murderer] had been part of a group of picketers, led by Al Sharpton , head of the National Action Network and Morris Powell , leader of the 125th Street Vendor's Association, who had been protesting the eviction of Sikhulu Shange, owner of the Record Shack who was subletting from Fred Harari, the Jewish owner of Freddy's.

The picketing, which had gone on for months, had led Harari to seek relief with the State Supreme Court. In papers filed just one day before the fire, he said, "Recently, the protesters have made motions of striking a match and throwing it on outside clothing displays or in the doorway of the store." An affidavit by Kareem Brunner, a black security guard killed in the blaze, said that he had been called a "cracker lover" and "would get mine as a traitor [to the black race]." Brunner, was the only black that Smith did not order out of the store before setting it afire.

Besides Smith and Brunner, all the other victims of the fire were Hispanic and Guyanese. Store manager, Steve Brodsky, described how a particularly vicious demonstrator called Shabazz would force his way into the store, pushing Brodsky aside and shout "I will be back to burn the Jew store down -- burn, burn, burn." It has been reported that there is evidence that Shabazz worked for Mr. Shange.
I wonder (and, honestly, I don't know because this is the first instance I've seen the name Shabazz associated with Freddie's Fashion Mart) if this is Malik Shabazz of The New Black Panther Party.

But, to the point, Sharpton stoked the racial unrest that resulted in Smith committing arson, murder, and suicide.

Abu Ghraib is a very weak analogy Bouchump.

But technically, as commander in chief it was ultimately his responsibility anyway.

What's weak is thinking a guy like Sharpton is responsible for any nutjob who decides to show up to a protest.

Might as well blame the music he was listening to.

Al Sharpton is an annoying spotlight seeker under the guise of a great civil rights champion. I agree with some of his points, but it was pathetic though when Michael Jackson died he was on every network showing a pic of him and Michael :lol The dude gets desperate for the spotlight.

Say, when's the last time you stood with the family of a black teenager, shot by another black teenager, seeking justice?

Just saying.

Fixed:



Insert Pat Buchanan, Stephen A. Smith, Sean Penn, Ann Coulter, and anyone who makes a living being a pundit. The fact that this thread exists is Sharpton's job description.

Not gonna lie, I based my post on a mad lib from the 2008 elections. :depressed
