Reverend Al Sharpton is one of the most irreverent, irrelevant talking heads in the country.
His job, community organizer come sleazy preacher a la Rinehart of "Invisible Man" fame. Conniving off of every bleeding heart, hurt head, and self-pitying down and out in the nation.
Why has he rallied this motley crowd to the National Mall? To celebrate the legacy of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr., a legacy which properly belongs to every freedom fighter and freedom rider of the Civil Rights Era?
He is demanding that Congress pass Obama's Jobs Bill -- when in fact, Mr. Sharpton just wants more grab at the tree of celebrity.
And with him, he is rallying off-shoots of Occupy Wall Street, the growing mass of unemployed and underemployed, and every race-baiter from East to West, all under the penumbra of the bas relief of Martin Luther King.
This man claims to be the successor of Martin Luther King Jr., a preacher who rallied faithful nonviolent protest in the states. A broken man, unfaithful to his wife, who sympathized with Marxists, who confused the message of civil rights with anti-war protests and government intervention, whose questionable authority in writing his dissertation to the Letter in a Birmingham Jail. Despite his many flaws, King's participation is commendable, though not laudatory.
The utter shame of a race-baiting demagogue riding the coattails of a long-gone civil rights leaders is damnable if not detestable. No amount of holy-roller rhetoric can wipe away this false preacher's stain: enthoncentricism masquerading as civil righteousness.
