Shut Up Rev's Sharpton and Jackson

As no doubt many of heard, there is a small brew-ha-ha going on over Don Imus's recent comments about the Rutgers womens basketball team.  He essentially called them "nappy headed ho's."  Now, do I really have to state how stupid of a comment this was?  It was stupid, non-funny, and uncalled for.  Now having said this, what I personally find just as bad are the two people leading the charge to have Imus fired.  CBS radio and MSNBC have suspended him for two weeks, and I am fine with that.  But, Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are spearheading the charge to have Imus fired.  These two are the last people to demand anything from anybody.  Having grown up and lived my entire life here in New York, I am very well aware of a couple of incidents that these two men were involved with.  First, anybody else remember Tawana Brawley?  She falsely accused officers of raping her.  And Reverend Al was here non-stop playing the race card.  There was only one problem.  THE INCIDENT NEVER HAPPENED!!  And did Sharpy-sharp (love Laura Ingraham, look for her in the new skits on FNC's Half Hour Newshour!) ever aplogize for inflaming the race issue over an incident that NEVER HAPPENED?!  Umm, not so much.  Then you have Jesse Jackson.  When he was running for president in 1984, he called New York City....Hymie Town.  That didn't exactly sit well with the jewish population in the city.  He refused to apologize, until of course the outrage was damaging his already fruitless campaign, then all of a sudden, he was sorry.  I have no problem with people being rightfully upset at what Don Imus said.  People should be upset.  But I do have a major problem with Reverend's Sharpton and Jackson leading the crusade to have Imus fired.  Sharpton was just on Glenn Beck's tv show on Headline News (a really good show by the way) and do you think Sharpton was overly critical when Beck pointed some of the songs that hip-hop have put out?  Surprise, surprise.  Not so much.  I don't know about you, but as soon as I see Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson arrive on the scene to ring the moral bell of outrage, that's when I know it's time to change the channel.  And a good place to go, is rushlimbaugh.com and listen to some of his Al Sharpton parody's.  Mamma Told Me Not to Run is just a classic!  Mamma should've told Al to not have such a "selective" moral outrage.
