Government
Sharpton now part of the Champ-Valjar shadow government
[Politico] A few days after one of our people 18-year-old Gentle Giant Mike Brown was gunned down in Ferguson, Missouri, White House officials enlisted an unusual source for on-the-ground intelligence amid the chaos and tear gas: moron Dennis Rodman the Rev. Al Sharpton, a fiery activist who became a household name by provoking rather than pacifying.
"Unusual source" ....to some possibly.
Sharpton--once such a pariah that Clinton administration officials rushed through their ribbon-cuttings in Harlem for fear he'd show up and force them to, gasp, shake his hand--arrived on the scene 72 hours after the shooting at the request of Brown's grandfather, who had admired his advocacy on behalf of the family of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
You already know the deal, there's very little need to read further.

#1  It's hard to believe anyone with an IQ > 80 would listen to the Reverend Al for anything but the humor of how to mangle the English language. The fact some in the black community embrace idiots like the Reverend Al is sad.

#2  POTUS simply returning to his roots and street smarts. Sharpton owes a kakpot of IRS taxes, reportedly into the millions of USD. Hussein owns him now, it's the Chicago way. He's no doubt got Louis Farrakhan on speed dial. Difficult times and all of that. I blame 'the man.'

#3  Barack's World is in need of an update.

#4  Sharpton is a gadfly who shows up whenever there is possibly of turning a non-racial incident into a racial incident. You would think people would catch on to him by now.

Gadfly def.
1. (Animals) any of various large dipterous flies, esp the horsefly, that annoy livestock by sucking their blood
2. a constantly irritating or harassing person


Check 1.
Check 2.

#6  Al Sharpton---now we are scrounging up tires that are not good enough for a retread. O and Co are playing the same stupid dog eared play book they always have used. It's embarraskin.

#7  Nicely said Alaska Paul. I like the retread, used rubber analogy.

#8  Y'all are being unfair to Sharpton. With his decades of working for the FBI he has a lot more experience of working for the government (and holding down a job) than anyone in the administration did before they joined it.

And yah, a few innocents may have been killed along the way, but it's more achievement than Zero had when he entered office.
