*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.
As Mediaite points out, BreitbartTV has consistently mocked Sharpton’s delivery, and mockingly compared him to NBC News anchors over the years.
In this case, they hit all of the familiar themes about the Rev. in introducing their clip:
Using his now familiar bumbling, bewildering and bombastic delivery, Al Sharpton premiered his brand new show on MSNBC, “Politics Nation” with an attack on the GOP presidential candidates saying they want to bring the country back to pre-1960′s segregationist times. He also promised that this was what his show was going to be about.
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.
Sharpton did premiere his show with his signature in-your-face style, attacking the current crop of GOP candidates, accusing them of wanting to bring America back to the 1960s.
He says they would like to see the US return to a near slave nation and that conservatives have been getting away with too much over the years.

i’m loving the way the Rev is speaking truth to those with perceived power! i absolutely love it!
I would really love to see a smart Black host anchor a smart show. Or at least one who can read a teleprompter. Sharpton is just…I don’t know how anyone doesn’t cringe when they see him stumbling and bumbling like he does. *shrug*
because he’s a smart Black host anchoring a smart show……duh.
And he did VERY well! Telepromter or none….. True Al fashion! So well, that the Briebarts and the Limbaughs tails and tongues are wagging at top speed…. we might well JUST see PIGS FLY!!! hahahahaha! GO AL!
No, he’s a virtual illiterate who needs to stay in the streets and not in the anchor chair or stepin & fetchin in the White House.
An illiterate hosting his own radio show, no small feat, now anchoring on a major network, HUGE feat, Advisor to the President ENORMOUS FEAT…. wells dames gon it, hows can I’se sign up !! (doing a jig)hahahahahaaaha And AGAIN, GO AL!
Do you know the background on how he got the show? Do you think “smart” is accurate or would you say “sneaky and corrupt?” I think the latter is more accurate.

hummmm tgenerate, let me think,…The Rev has a major network television show, and a syndicated radio show that has a plethora of viewer and listeners and you are on a nondescript website on the regular communicating ad nauseam using blogbonics. i deduce that the Rev’s a lot smarter than you.
lol Touche Huey. You got me. He’s smarter than me. So are you. You both are geniuses whose intelligence mine couldn’t possibly rival, not with my “ad nauseum blogbonice” (whatever in the hell that is.)
lol
Thank you huey, some folks just don’t get it.
Teleprompters aren’t easy to follow, especially on camera. Al isn’t the worst @it and I can’t imagine him, in time, not getting better. Against my better instincts, I’ve actually watched the show several times…the entire week and I still can’t get into it.
Al is by no means dumb. I think he is a smart man…just not feeling him hosting a primetime news show.
He could use a little polishing, and is a little blustering, but his points are on point, Which strengthens those weak area’s. I love his “stick it to em” postering…… and he is VERY knowledgable about his subjects, which is the DIFFERENCE between a so calledd “real journalist” who are excellent with telepromters. Again, GO AL!
The fact that they going after him like this is evidence that he is doing a good job. He obviously has struck a nerve in the conservatives camp. For far too long they have had the luxury of having to deal with only the most politically correct MSNBC hosts. About time someone like Al give them a taste of their own medicine.
Handle your business Al. Don’t let them faze you
Hate to bust your bubble, but they are not shaking in their boots. They are LAUGHING AT HIM.
not, we are laughing at u butthead.
TGen, don’t mistake fear for bravado. They laughing now and putting on a brave face, but they know what Al was capable of before he had a bully pulpit, so they now worried how they going to even begin to contain him. Don’t believe the hype. Fear manifests itself in different ways. Just look at all the antics the Tea Party been up to. It’s all a reflection of the fear of the black man.
lol You believe that if you want to Reds. Again, the permed one is seen as a joke. He just is. He’s even more a joke now that he has sniggled his way into the mainstream via suspect lobbying and probably under-the-table promises from a morally-bankrupt White House. And he’s even more a joke now that his reading problems are on front street.
I know I sound mean but if ever there was a time to “keep it real,” (pun intended) it’s with the permed one. I am utterly amazed at the kudos he gets on this website. I’m not sure if that says more about him or more about some of our low standards. Hmmm
You don’t believe that.
If you do, then you must also believe that Obama is doing an extraordinary job!!! Since they’re going afta him to a much greater degree than Al…
For them to be going after Obama like that, he had to do something right. Remember he became the first black POTUS, something which they can’t accept. Al became the first black host in prime time on a major network, a platform from which he can do more damage to their cause than he could from all his marches combined. Considering what he has already done to them and their racist agenda, they have all right to be worried. Remember Al was behind the firing of Imus. No wonder they all in a tizzy. Al has literally put the fear of God in these crackas. That’s why they will be working full time to sabotage him in any way they can. The same as they are doing with Obama. But they can’t touch this. Al’s been through too much to be fazed by their petty racist tactics. All they doing is giving him more publicity.
“For them to be going after Obama like that, he had to do something right.”
Okay, credibility finally shot. smh
He was the first black man to become president. He at least got that right. His presidency will serve as an inspiration to black kids that they can achieve anything in this racist society. Now that at least got to count for something.
I oppose most of what Obama stands for, but I oppose even more the crackas who going against him just because he is black.
I think you give Al toooooo much credit here and are confusing him w/somebody like Farrakhan or some’n. Al is a corporate guy, part of the establishment, why would they “fear” him. What is there to “fear?” These people (including many of his black now supporters) have raked him over the coals for yeaaaars. I can’t imagine his new hosting gig causing any sort of fear.
I agree w/you that Obama’s presidency is symbolic and will likely show blacks kids that anything is possible. But as we’ve seen over the last two years..Obama’s presidency is historic…with a caveat and that’s what these kids will also see.
That the historic “first black president” did not govern in the same manner as every white president before him.
Tgenerate, that would be “touce’” not “touce” and “blogbonics”, not “blogbonice” nitwit.
Uhm…”touce”
is not a word.
re-read my post clown, i was the one that pointed that out to your bleaching creme supplier, tgen. i wrote “touce’ “…dope.
lol
what the he11 are u cackling about muttchops?
I see the angry blogger is back. Mad cause he think he blacker than anybody else?
go somewhere and praze da lawd Biblethumperstilskin….
you go al we will be watching and agreeing to all your factual points..thats what everyone else do for there partys…. so whatever to who has an issue…its about time you get shut uped…..in yo face!
