Reverend Al Sharpton appeared on MSNBC on Monday and talked about his upcoming meetings at the FCC that he hopes will result in throwing talk radio host Rush Limbaugh off the airwaves.
“We’re not telling Rush don’t say what you want to say, say it at home, not on public airwaves,” he concluded.
It is remarkable Reverend Sharpton is touting a phrase so often used by those who seek to censor Judeo-Christian activity or themes from the public square. However, it is hardly shocking he expressed himself this way.
After all, even as someone who calls himself a man of God, Rev. Sharpton, like most liberals, equate political views to religious beliefs. His call for the FCC to dump Mr. Limbaugh is not the first time someone has tried to muzzle the famous talk radio host.
After being named an honorary member of the 1994 House Republican freshman, the Clinton administration went to war with Mr. Limbaugh and failed to silence the radio talk show host. Is it any wonder after devastating losses in the House this year that former DNC Chair Howard Dean and West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller, a Democrat, are calling to remove a network like Fox News off the air as well?

sharpton is one racist jack ass, why does anyone ever listen to him, and what is his real job?
Exactly!!! He is so racist against white people, he keeps it going and going and going. That's his job.
I think he's looking for a job in the WH. lol
Socialist.
I'll change it: social activist/ social progressive who doesn't like anyone speaking except himself.
Al Sharpton with his sad sack put on pout needs to shut his big mouth. Enough Al. When Olberman is silenced then we'll talk.
Sharpton is indeed an idiot, but you guys need to figure out where you stand on free expression. You're opposed to government involvement with talk radio and opposed to net neutrality, yet you want to crush WikiLeaks (rather than the leakers) because of what the government says about it.
Jim was anyone in your family related to Benedict Arnold or Jane Fonda?Because wikileaks is selling out our country and hurting our military,so my guess is you could care less for our soldiers as long as we live by your liberal code.You know damn well if they caught the leakers the and ACLU and liberals like you would defend them and want to give them medals.
I find it interesting that you take the government's word for about the supposed harm, when most conservatives here keep claiming they don't trust government. And who gets to decide what's "harmful" to publish? After all, that's what some liberals keep saying about talk radio.
And by the way, those liberals are as wrong as the folks who want to censor WikiLeaks instead of punishing the leakers.
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS TWO WRONGS MAKES ONE RIGHT. THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR LEVEL OF CREDIBILITY.
Wrong, Jim. I'm saying that either both are wrong or both are OK. But folks here keep acting like some forms of censorship are a grievous government overreach, while other forms are OK–based only on what that government says the information might reveal.
So which is it, oh credible one–censor both, or neither? Or let the people on "your side" decide what should be censored, perhaps?
Since Obama wants to censor the internet anyway and he will. It seems
that this would be an acceptable compromise. Still opposed to any censorship,
but since it will happen, this should be the first and hopefully last place.
Well agreed James, the original source leakers themselves is where we need
to take action. I don't know how much authority the US has over foreign media
be it conventional media or the web, but the original leakers were most likely Americans
that can be tried and prosecuted. I don't think we can touch Assange anyway.
Al Sharpton you need to retire, you've lived and collected off your people long enough.
Jesus Christ warned of your kind: Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." GO AWAY!!!!
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD AL STUPIDTON SAY ANY THING THAT MADE SENSE?
AL " NOT-SO-SHARP " IS JUST ANOTHER COMMUNIST WHO WANTS TO TREAD ON OUR
CONSTITUTION AND " INALIENABLE RIGHTS " OF FREE SPEECH AND FREE PRESS.
HE , OBUMMER , HAIRY RUDE , NAZI PELOSIVITCH , HILLARY DILLARY , GIBBS , AND THE
WHOLE CREW SHOULD SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO HELL FROM WHENCE THEY CAME .
I have two words for Al: Tawana Brawley
IMHO, Al is the one who should be stopped. He has never said anything of consequence, ever, and his history of shaking down businesses, by threatening them with boycotts and bad publicity if they don't contribute to one of his "charities", is despicable! We(most Americans) are still waiting for his apologies for the Duke rape fraud, the Jena 5 fraud, etc. and etc. His only purpose in life is to extort money by playing the race card, even when it is non-existent. Why anyone or any organization would allow him to spout his tunnel-visioned messages is a mystery to a great majority of Americans. Once again, just my humble opinion.
This is getting very "worrysome" that a race baiter like Sharpton can even get close enough to the FCC to try to shut someone else up. With the FCC taking over censorship of the internet on the 20th … how much Freedom are we going to lose?
Sharpton wears two faces: when the issue is about the freedom and openess of Christians he is against it. Then as a representative of his own religion, he choses to condemn a person for exercising his right to comment on the radio. A true example of the extreme left that wants his cake and eat it too. Keep it up Sharpton and you have the American people in an outrage. We are ready to take you on with or withour Rush!
is a two faced liar. He has spoken against Christians more than Rush has about
The left has stolen so much of our money they think it is theirs to dictate where it goes. Sharpten can go fly a kite, more each day the left exposes themselves and make fools of themselves..Rush STAYS, SHARPEN goes…WE the People ARE the government, and someone needs to get in all their faces and remind them.. like obama tonight, he said, he would not play games with us etc. what a joke, 85 % wnat him deported, what is a ilegal alien doing in our white house.. and ones like Sharpten who like the whole left and more have pocketed our money…It has to STOP
Al Sharpton the american negroe who is always looking to start trouble against white people when this phooney preacher is the biggest racist going.He makes a living at creating conflict with the white population other wise he'd be just some homeless dude living in a cardboard box.He was the brains behind the Tawana Brawly trouble in NY.
I would think people would wake up by now and see this so called rev is. He never talks about God just runs around yelling raceism and causing trouble while he laughs and runs all the way to the bank off the money he gets from these people who listen to his garbage. People start listening to Bill Cosby he will bring you out of poverty if you listen to him. Sharpie and the jacksons will kept you in the ghetto and dumb down making you think your so mistreated and keeps promising great things for you. The only great things are their bank accounts. He makes me sick.
Al Sharpton – you are being used to get all of us worked up and angry with one another. Personally I think we should ask the FCC to censor you. You are constantly race baiting,finger pointing and seem to be a very angry man with a one sided agenda. You are supposedly a man of God. Where is the love and peace in your life?
Anyone that believes that Fat AL is a "man" of (god) is a FOOL! And if he is/was, just what God?
Let me try to get this straight… Mr. Sharpton ( I can't call him or Mr. Jackson "Reverend" since it causes me nausea) wants a meeting with the FCC to try to get rid of Mr. Limbaugh from the public airwaves. He graciously allows Mr. Limbaugh to say whatever he wants in his home but not on the radio airwaves. I wish Mr. Sharpton had not been on all the press conferences/ airwaves years ago when he stuck his nose into the Tawna Brawley criminal case in NY state. He was eventually civilly sued and lost after a couple of more years of publicity generated by the fawning MSM in NY. Still hasn't paid his off his fines and damages from losing that case. Unfortunately for him ( & Mr. Jackson ) they are still just high profile con men, beloved by the MainStreamMedia… And the Band plays on …
How about the Duke Lacrosse team that was accused over and over ad nauseum by Sharpton and Jackson, not to mention the liberal press and found to be NOT GUILTY, and those people that was so hurt by their racist and vile comments have never been given an apology. When Imus made the comment about The Rutgers Girls basketball team, he apologized and the "hurt" team accepted the apology, but Sharpton still was sucessful to get Imus fired.
Sharpton has a Radio Show in New York City, I heard him say derogatory comments about Bush, where is the double standard?
ISN'T THIS PATHETIC! REMEMBER TWANA BRAWLEY, OR WHATEVER! SHARPTON IS ANOTHER MARXIST(COLLECTIVISM, NOT INDIVIDUALISM) OR FALSE MESSIAH, AT BEST!!! TELL ME THAT WE'RE NOT LIVING IN THE ENDDAYS! Although, Obama is MARXIST(Anti-Messiah) isn't he? Very interesting!
TAWANA BRAWLEY. NEED I SAY MORE? OK, HOW ABOUT PRISON TIME AND HOW ABOUT BLAMING 2 WHITE PROSECUTORS FOR TWANA BRAWLEY'S ALLEGED RAPE? SHARPTON, YOU ARE A DISGUSTING PIECE OF HUMANITY AND ANY SO CALLED RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THAT YOU CLAIM, CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS DOUBTFUL! THE PROBLEM IS GOD LOVES EVEN BIG BLOWHARDS LIKE YOU! SO ALL I CAN SAY AL, IS, YOUR A LIAR, A RACIST AND A LOUD MOUTH FOOL. DO EVERYONE A FAVOR, KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY. IN THAT CASE, I GUESS WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING TO LISTEN TO YOU SINCE YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT ANYONE EXCEPT BLACKS AND YOUR SELF!
Sharpton needs to move to some utopia of his, maybe the sun don't shine there.
He can have a spiritual experience where he see's a bright flash of light, a loud pop,
and a sudden breath of fresh air.
screw sharpton and the rest of his racist pig friends
If the FCC goes along with that eight ball then they are a bunch of lily lovers.
Would I ever love to come face to face with Al Sharpton; just the two of us in a dark alley. I would like to stuff fire ants and scorpions up his rectum. What a dumbass.
Do you carry around those fire ants and scorpions, or do they just happen to live in the dark alleys of your neighborhood? I find your interest in Sharpton's rectum to be disturbing, however.
Reverand Sharpton, my rear. This lying politician is the one who needs to be censored & thrown out of Congress, along with many other incumbants of both parties.
