Sharpton “Very Disappointed” In Jesse Jackson
By Wyatt Earp | July 18, 2008
You knew it was only a matter of time for Sharpton to crawl out from under his rock.
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Rev. Al Sharpton spoke out Thursday against Rev. Jesse Jackson’s use of the N-word that was caught on tape while preparing for an interview for Fox News.
Sharpton, who has joined Jackson in opposition of the word, said on CBS News’ The Early Show on Thursday that he was “very disappointed” by this latest revelation.
He’s “disappointed” in Jackson but he demanded Don Imus’ firing? Where’s the demand for Jackson’s firing. Oh, I guess Jackson would need to have a job to be fired from it, huh?
“I think this certainly does not reflect the Reverend Jackson that we all know and love,” Sharpton said. “I think that we have to be consistent. We have denounced the N-word at National Action Network and other groups. Those of us and many of us who have used it privately said we must refrain from it if we’re going to challenge people using it publicly.”
Who loves Jesse Jackson? Anyone? Anyone??
Sharpton agreed that public figures especially need to be role models for others in expunging the word from today’s culture. (H/T – WCBS via RT)
Sharpton is lecturing someone else about being a role model? Talk about the pot calling the kettle . . .
Oh, never mind.

Sharpton was worried that Jesse was getting more attention than he was. Had to get his two cents in!
Time is passing the Rev by and he is seeing his power, relevance and source of money disappearing. So he is out chasing microphones and trying to stay in the public’s eye.
Deanna – You are absolutely correct. When one steps into the spotlight, the other one usually follows.
Ky person – Hopefully, time will completely pass him by sooner rather than later. I’m sick of seeing this moron.
These two idiots will probably live to be 100 and die holding a bull horn or microphone.
Gotta love it- Dissention in the ranks of the disenfranchised
And yep, definitely pot vs. kettle- Ding! Round Two!!!!
Yeah, that Sharpton is a real beauty. I remember that time about twenty years ago he defended that girl, Tawana Brawley, remember her? It turned into a gigantic racial thing and in the end was proven to be all lies.
Admiral – Just our luck.
Old NFO – Let them nip at each other’s heels for a change.
MikeB – And I was shocked and appalled to hear it. How could a “Reverend” lie? /Snark.
they’re both just jealous that they were utter failures as a Presidential candidate, and the Messiah is a lot closer in the game, being legitimately the first serious nominee of their party that’s black.
Smite – Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on. Barack Obama is black?
Pot,…meet kettle.
