MSNBC’s Goose and Rush’s Gander
Shocking audio tapes of MSNBC star Sharpton surface.
What goes round, comes round.
So.
MSNBC, which gets it’s scripts written by George Soros’s Media Matters, as noted in this story from the Daily Caller, now has a very, very interesting problem on its hands.
His name: Al Sharpton.
And there are tapes. Which you will find right here.
Let’s remember that the Daily Caller’s series on the far left Media Matters was in multiple parts. And the link above was specifically about Media Matters and “…multiple examples of MSNBC hosts using MMfA material in segments for their shows.”
The story also said:
Just in recent weeks, there have been several examples. Two MSNBC hosts who have recently, and regularly, used the organization’s content for their programming are Ed Schultz of “The ED Show” and Al Sharpton of “PoliticsNation.”
While they vary, the most popular targets have been Fox News personalities and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.
Now.
Let’s think about this, shall we?
Media Matters is documented here as supplying MSNBC hosts Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz with “the organization’s content for their programming.”
Let’s leave Fox News aside. Who else is singled out as “the most popular target” for Media Matters? That’s right: Rush Limbaugh.
And what’s going on right this minute with MSNBC?
Take a look here at Lawrence O’Donnell trumpeting this story about Rush.

For those of us who've followed the squirrel tracks over these past decades, and listened to the biased blitherings of the Old School Media, the two posts above here, pretty much, nail what's going to come of these ... exposed tapes: Nothing!
Putting this "expose" to rest is a fairly easy analysis. If Barack Obama and his mob were a group of joggers out for a morning run, then came to a quick, sudden stop ... the noses of Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, and the brown shirts at MSNBC would end up six inches up Obama's a-s.
Howcumitiz? Knowing leftists, they enjoy the view.

You misunderstand. It is where all there information comes from. If we all did that we would understand the liberal point of view.
Vern Crisler| 3.13.12 @ 10:25AM
Because the Left never apologizes. This is an ideological war for them, and all rules of civilized discourse are out. Conservatives like Rush should have understood that.
Brubaker| 3.13.12 @ 10:43AM
Rush understands that, but at heart he remains a showman: Bad publicity is still publicity. Unfortunately, his latest stunt has caused considerable collateral damage to the GOP and has distracted from the real issues of this campaign.
Mrs. Vito| 3.13.12 @ 1:49PM
You could'nt be more wrong. New polls out today, and Obama's approval rating has fallen almost 10 points since last week, especially among women. The contraception ploy by the Libs is an abject failure. Don't blame the GOP.

Timothy L. Pennell| 3.13.12 @ 10:05AM
The reason that the Left gets away with what they get away with, is simple: "All that Evil requires to Succeed, is for Good Men to do nothing".
We haven't had a BUDGET, going on 4 Years. He is Destroying our Children's Futures, with his Profligate Spending, and Trillion Dollar Deficits.
He puts in place an ILLEGAL Drilling Moratorium, in Defiance of a Federal Judge's Ruling. He makes ILLEGAL Recess Appointments. He wages an ILLEGAL WAR in Libya, in violation of The War Powers Act. He films ILLEGAL Campaign Commercials in the White House. He ILLEGALLY Mandates that a Private Company gives something away for free, even as he ILLEGALLY dictates to a Religious Institution, that they provide Contraception, Abortions, and Abortifacients to their Employees.
And, what does the other side do?
Why, they do NOTHING, of course.

What else would you expect of an illegal president?
For thousands of years every nation in the world has recognized that a "natural born citizen" is one born in the country to citizen parents. This is a universally accepted part of natural law and the law of nations.
Our founders clearly understood this. And, as a matter of national security and at the recommendation of John Jay and George Washington, they determined that only a "natural born citizen" could serve as President and Commander-in-Chief.
The Supreme Court also recognized this definition of "natural born citizen" and further established it as binding legal precedent in Minor v Happersett, 1875. This court's ruling has never been overturned or superseded; notably, in spite of numerous recent attempts.
Ironically, even Mr. Obama used this definition as a sponsor of SR 511 to establish that John McCain is a natural born citizen claiming that he was born under US jurisdiction on a US Naval base to citizen parents. One could easily argue that SR511, while justifying McCain and providing a smoke screen for Mr. Obama, is also Mr. Obama's personally signed acknowledgement of his own fraud and treason.
By definition it's not possible for a person born under any foreign influence or jurisdiction (or of foreign parents - Mom or Dad), regardless of where they may have been born, to be a "natural born citizen". Mr. Obama's stipulation that he was born to a British/Kenyan father and under British jurisdiction via the British nationality act puts him in this ineligible category. In fact, unless he can produce legitimate confirmation of his alleged Hawaiian birth (other than amateurishly forged documents) we can't know if he is even a citizen. So far, the most compelling evidence places his birth in Kenya.
The bottom line is that Barack Obama is not legally President of the United States. His occupation of that office is in direct conflict with our Constitution. He and his cast of conspirators need to be arrested and removed from our White House and all other halls of our government as traitors or foreign agents immediately by any means appropriate, charged with treason and/or espionage, and punished to the full extent of our laws.
Everything Mr. Obama has done or will do from that office needs to be declared null and void.
Until such time, he'll probably keep on doing whatever he wants.

Yet our side continues on it's mission to do nothing. They decided a long time ago to take the 'high road' and that's a loser in politics today. The enemy gets every advantage here. This is war and it's high-time folks realize that. The left knows no boundaries on what they're willing to do to win.

albert constantine jr.| 3.13.12 @ 10:08AM
While I don’t think that it rates up there with “ JAPAN SURRENDERS” that MSNBC TV talk show host and former Democratic Presidential primary contender and convention speaker Al Sharpton is on tape being the foul-mouthed bigot that we all knew him to be, it should be interesting to see how the media and Democrats respond.
PolishKnight| 3.13.12 @ 10:12AM
The left have been trying to hush Rush for a long time. They occasionally try to bring back "The Fairness Doctrine" which, in the left's view, would be similar to NPR which is filled with radical leftists and no right wingers whatsoever but after getting rid of Rush, they might hire a pet one to keep around for a while to demonstrate 'tolerance and fairness' (naturally, he would only get to express himself for a half minute before being cut off, words put into his mouth, and then attacked by the group.)
The whole FCC regulation of content beyond technical administration of the airways or obscenity never made much sense to me. It's like declaring that newspapers which use the roads to distribute their material should be subject to traffic police ordering them to stop and allow inspection of the content of their papers.
Until Rush appeared, AM radio was dead. A joke. There was even a TV show about it: WKRP which featured radio jocks stuck on an AM station that few listened to. Even now, there's plenty of AM bandwidth in most markets for a variety of political beliefs. If there's seemingly a shortage even then, it's because the FCC is handing out bandwidth to Hispanic channels like candy.

Resist we much!!! Sharpton is the leftist buffoon that just keeps on giving. When MSLSD gave this felon and race baiter his own show, it was clear that NBC had decended to the depths of the media sewer.
It's also not a streach to say that NBC has blood on its hands as the result of Sharpton's anti-semitism in Harlem that resulted in death. Imagine if a conservative had Sharpton's dispicable history? And yet, the clowns at MSLSD circle like vulture's over Rush and his comments about Ms. Fluke.
Sharpton's history is a disgrace that has been papered over by the leftist media. The media's history of leftist agitprop has been papered over by themselves.
Clearly, journalism has become, as Rush has put it, one of the pillars of corruption.

sam| 3.13.12 @ 10:38AM
there will be NO traction for this...conservatives have a problem sticking together on anything. the rush show is a prime example...the sponsors walked away from his show and we stood by as a group did nothing to defend him..HOWEVER, you can be sure liberals will stick with this mess with Sharpton. Liberals win because they move as a force with their voices and actions..Although..conservatives outnumber liberals.. Go figure.. I find it dishearting to know that I belong to a majority group that has no voice..
Stan REdmond| 3.13.12 @ 2:38PM
Last time I checked Rush still has 20 million listeners. I don't think there's a mass exodus of people leaving the show. And for a few sponsers who run away? Who cares. They do what they think is best for their business.
john| 3.16.12 @ 6:47PM
Rush replaced the sponsors in less than 24 hours and added four more.

MSNBC may get their taking points from Media Matters as Fox gets theirs from Drudge Report. What's the difference?

Jo, supply evidence that Fox gets talking points from the Drudge Report.
By the way Jo, I'll challenge you that I can name more liberals that appear regularly on Fox than you can name conservatives that appear regularly on every other network (NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN) combined. In fact, I'll even let you include the editorial pages of the NY Times, LA Times and Washington Post. Care to take the challenge? In fact, does anyone out there care to take the challenge

Louis Jenkins| 3.13.12 @ 11:16AM
Basically, if I want the real news I go to Drudge Report. Why? Because the mainstream newsmedia often ignores the story, or waters it down so much it has a tendency to make me sick. I watched Sharpton the other day for about two minutes, and to be frank about it, Rush said a lot less about the contraception issue than Sharpton. But that's okay, cause Sharpton's one of them.

Al Adab| 3.13.12 @ 1:02PM
It is very simple. A wise man once said, "If hypocricy were oil, this town (DC) would be Saudi Arabia."
Instead of complaining about the double standard, we as Conservatives should embrace it and make clear to all that we do hold ourselves to a higher standard. While The Left is duplicitous and self-serving in the extreme, Conservatives adhere to principle and honesty in public service. While not always true for republicans it should remain true for Conservatives.
Mike 3/505| 3.13.12 @ 2:50PM
I am all for maintaining standards of decency...but that should never preclude us from vehemently responding to lies, by calling them such. We beat around the bush too much.
Al Adab| 3.13.12 @ 3:47PM
Absolutely Mike, and you are correct we do not find hard enough. My suggestion is that we not complain about the double standard but relish it for the "higher standard" we hope to maintain.
Al Adab| 3.13.12 @ 3:48PM
Sorry, that's fight hard enough.
martin j smith| 3.13.12 @ 1:19PM
Let me tell you that I have absolutely NO CONFIDENCE in all the network and cable news outlets and NO CONFIDENCE in any News Paper or magazine out there in the MSM category and NO CONFIDENCE in either Political Party. But I do have confidence in the group of new media which together give ways of translating the lies they offer. When for example I listen to Rush on ABC Radio I routinely turn off their "NEWS" 99% of the time. The 1% is to see just what they say for the fun of it. Just one example. They are liars and untrustworthy. FOX NEWS is not much better however for they too must be critically watched.
AhiaGuy| 3.13.12 @ 1:25PM
This might be important if anybody watched Schultz & Sharpton, but their numbers are so low as to not even register on the ratings. Just a waste of Soros bucks, which is a good thing.

Oldefarte| 3.13.12 @ 1:59PM
'......Media Matters is documented here as supplying MSNBC hosts Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz with "the organization's content for their programming."....' Not just those MSNBC morons but also our local resident blogger Media Matters Clint as well [he's curiously absent here on this editorial strangely......maybe the outing of MM makes him nervous???]. Of course this whole network should be disbaneed and run off the air, but who in hades would do same????? Not surely the MSM generals of BIASED NEWS REPORTING, that's for sure; since they'd have to crawl out of their politically partisaned bed from Lewinskifying the radically liberal Democrats before hand to do so no doubt. Shultz, Maddow, O'Donnell, Matthews and worst-but-never-least Sharpton make me want to reguritate when I accidently tune into that political arm of the DNC disguised as a news outlet. You may disagree with conservatives like Rush and Shawn but at least they tell the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear the "n" word though, but I guess that's ok.
Kingofthenet| 3.13.12 @ 7:40PM
Yeah, this is EXACTLY like a talk show host calling a law School Student a Slut and Prostitute, we don't even know the context of these sound bites.
albert constantine jr.| 3.13.12 @ 8:49PM
Your Highness;
Glad to see that your normal pithy level of "coherence" has been restored.
Regardless of what you feel about the names used by a conservative talk show host to describe Ms. Fluke, she is not an innocent law student on her way to the library from the pharmacy when Rush fired a drive by insult. She is an activist party operative who appeared at a staged Democratic Party event to inject her opinion (Not sworn testimony) into a heated debate.
While he can accurately be described as an influential conservative voice, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh holds no position on the Republican National Committee, has never run for office as a Republican, and I don't recall him addressing the Republican National Presidential Convention. While he entertains and informs conservatives, his only affiliation with the party is his registration, and any campaign contributions he might make to those running for office as Republicans.
On the other hand, TV talk show host Al Sharpton ran for President as a Democrat in the 2004 primary. He gave a major prime time speech at the convention (following what was described as the worst political speech of all time by my former Marine colleague Steve Brozak). Those Democrats running for office in New York or nationally meet with him to obtain his endorsement.
In other words, what Al Sharpton has to say much more closely reflected in the platform and the thoughts of Democratic Party Leadership.
Is that enough context for his use of the language that is being revealed?
beebop2| 3.14.12 @ 3:35PM
Really? Is that all you've got? Things must be slow what with Axelfob withdrawing from the Maher show and the bad polls that kid 0bama is garnering. I mean, when you poll 51% DEMOCRATS and his approval is only 50%? Why that's just plain SAD.
RCV| 3.13.12 @ 8:44PM
Al Sharpton is a despicable, antisemitic blowhard. After his disgusting performance in the Tawana Brawley circus, no tape of him saying anything should "shock" anyone.
Vicky| 3.13.12 @ 8:56PM
Al Sharpton is a stupid jerk. He runs his mouth and most the time he doesn't know what's REALLY going on. If he thinks he's so great, why isn't he President?
Bob Grant | 3.13.12 @ 9:52PM
Jeffrey,
Shocking? Really?
These remarks are SOP from this marbled-mouthed fool.
I just love how he's referred to as "Reverend" Al Sharpton.
Does divinity school teach students how to butcher the English language, act like the lowest common denominator, spread lies, incite violence, ...?
He's certainly unlike any man of God I've ever been in contact with. Fortunately.
AJ Lynch| 3.13.12 @ 10:33PM
"Astrology"? Did Sharpton mean to say astronomy or maybe he does not know there is a significant difference between the two?
LC JB | 3.14.12 @ 1:03PM
I giggled at that too. He hasn't a clue about the difference. He probably meant to say Astronomy, but goofed with "astrology". That little spiel seemed very, very similar to what one would hear from Calypso Louie.

surveilling, spying, tracking and data collecting on
us ALLLLLL this time.
--UH--- and we ALL by now should realize
ALL television is not just propaganda, but
is utillizing brain wave flicker rates to dumb
down audiences ---and cholorform consciousness.
We have neither PC or TV in our homes.
We NEVER watch tv.
The war is not only on, but since the Macy Group's
greenlight in the early 50s ---it always has been.

Sharpton is a criminal... what is he doing on the air! It is very embarrassing see him on television after what he did in the manufactured rape case in New York with Tiwana Brawley... MSNBC should be ashamed of some of the people they put on. It is clear that the other major media outlets are also controlled by liberals in New York and LA... thank God we have some conservatives in cable and radio to give some balance to it all...

This "man" is just trash--always has been, always will be.
Remember Tawana Brawley? He has made millions since that BIG LIE.
When will "his people" wake up and see that he is the last person who should be leading them?

Don't forget Freddy's Fashion Mart. The"Reverend" souped up the crowd protesting the eviction of a business from the owner's building and later a man came in with a gun, set fire to the place, and started shooting those attempting to flee. 7 or 8 people died and some of the protesters spoke of wanting to "kill the Jew". Of course, there was Tawana Brawley and Sharpton's slander of the DA in the county in which this occurred and his losing the suit brought by said DA. This is a "man of God"? Is anyone surprised by this creeps speech and actions? Anyone?

Tapes? What tapes? The MSM don't see no stinkin' tapes!
Even to THINK of criticizing Al is RACIST - did you hear me, RACIST!
Yes, the alternative new media is making inroads, but, maybe, not fast enough.
The best thing about this is that it's video - that seems to capture the attention of the unaware better than print. Our goals are incremental - little by little, story by story, we are working to make a difference. This is the hard part. We are working on building momentum. At first, we really can't see the difference, and it's tempting to just give up.
Don't.
We will see the changes, but they won't happen instantly. It's like exponential growth - nothing seems to be happening, then, all of a sudden, the change is obvious and ever increasing.

Ha! Did you hear his speach?
"We was constructin' pyramids in Egypt..."
Really? Your dumb ass can't even construct a SENTENCE, and you want us to believe your the architect of the pyramids?

This is an example of the tu quoque fallacy.
If I say, "You are overweight," it's fallacious to reply, "So's your momma."
Whether Sharpton is a hack has nothing to do with whether Limbaugh should be promiscuously using the word "slut" or asking a woman to post her sex life in video form on the internet.

I have to say that I'm not at all surprised, but I also have to say that it is about time for the truth to come out. I thank Mr. Lord for exposing the double standard. Liberals are so quick to demonize Republicans when they should be cleaning up their own house. Rush was set up by the liberal camp, and that has been proven. He apologized because he was sorry for what he said. What the liberals don't understand is that a large number of Americans don't trust liberals. Al Sharpton has made his career from instigating a race warfare mentality, and these tapes prove just how vile his actions have been. These tapes prove he has no credibility, and even more than that, they prove how desperate MSNBC is.
