You are right we wont know-but Sharpton is a mental case as well. And we can't pretend he's had no impact, and he's benefitted politically. We know...

One would have to be mental....

What "good" comes from this?

FFS they fired tear gas at us for singing songs, this dimwit is borderline on incitement to riot and he gets a free pass to the White House.

I will ask AGAIN, since nobody can answer -- please show us Al Sharpton's calls to violence and "incitement to riot."

I recall when President Clinton tried to link Timothy McVeigh and his bombing in Oklahoma to Rush Limbaugh and talk radio. This kind of stuff is not new. In fact I still see arguments like that made today. I saw Rudy Juiliani trying to do the same thing Clinton did, but only aimed at the current occupant of the White House. I don't think any of this s**t is helping.

I like to keep my words sweet and straight to the point. Sharpton never called for violence in his speech. Because of that, I don't see how his rhetoric incited some mad man into killing to cops.

Or in other words, nope.

Anyone claiming otherwise needs to provide the quote from Sharpton that proves their case or they will be considered liars.

They refuse, because it doesn't exist. They'll just play little petty semantic games -- however, the meme has been written, and for the next few months we'll be hearing about how Al Sharpton called for dead cops.

There have been dozens of excerpts from Roberts Gates book posted on the DP. Even some excerpts of Leon Panetta's book posted on the DP. There's even a thread about the current Secretary of Defense titled "Tell the White House to go to Hell." That thread was about when Chuck Hagel discovered that Obama was breaking the law by bypassing the military chain of command.

Do your own research, I'm tired of posting the same links over and over because some are uninformed.

Reminds me of the debate if Palin was at all responsible for the shooting that injured Gabby Giffords.

As Palin said, only the shooters themselves are responsible for their actions. Her web graphic was distasteful. The things being shouted at Sharpton's rally were distasteful, but it doesn't mean either Palin or Sharpton wanted to see people dead. Both of the shooters were crazy, and to my knowledge, the shooter murdered his girlfriend first. He probably wanted to go out killing others, and he morally justified going for the cops in twisted ****ed up head.

I was listening to talk radio on the way home, and you'd think the world is about to end, starting now, with "the blacks" amping up for a cop killing rampage and mass rioting. :yawn:

This is just the it story talk radio wants to blow out of proportion this week. I don't really expect to see these type of attacks on cops becoming more prevent.

Al Sharpton's race hustling and poverty pimping are long known and he's a frequent guest to the Obama whitehouse, but in recent days Sharpton led a rally in NYC where "What Do We Want?… Dead Cops!” was shouted. As we know, two of NYPD's finest were executed by a man who may be an islamist. The two cops weren't even white-just cops.

Obama is also well acquainted with the former leaders of the terrorist organization, the Weatherman/Weather Underground, Bill Ayres and Bernardine Dohrn. If it weren't for them, Obama would still be working for ACORN on the South Side.

It's google as a verb, not Google the proper noun.

But you can always bing it. :lol:
 
Re: Did Al Sharpton's rhetoric contribute to the deaths of 2 NYPD Police officers?

Show me where he, himself advocated for dead cops. I watched your video, and it was protesters shouting that at his rally. When and where did he ever endorse violence himself? Did he tell his crowd to go out and kill people? If you have a clip of him screaming for cops to be killed, that would dramatically change my opinion...

US Conservative said:
Show me where anyone else advocated for the death of cops like in that sharpton led protest-and a week later 2 cops aren't going home to their families.

Two dead innocent cops is hardly blowing it out of proportion. The left turned their back on hard working cops long ago.

Thats true, Obama got his start from Bill Ayers, who liked to set off bombs.

I am taking a second to think. I'm taking a second to think about WHAT YOU ACTUALLY ASKED, not what you're moving the goal posts to now.

You didn't ask "Why did he want to avenge Garner's death".

Here, since you can't seem to remember what you yourself asked, let me refresh your memory

CanadaJohn said:
Go ahead, explain why the man didn't just shoot a couple of cops in Baltimore if his actions had nothing to do with the anti-cop speech directed at NYC police officers.
Click to expand...

See again...your question wasn't asking why he decided he wanted to kill cops. Rather, you SPECIFICALLY were asking why he chose to kill NYC cops instead of Baltimore cops.

It's entirely plausible to suggest the reason he wanted to kill NYC cops instead of Baltimore cops was because NYC cops are who killed Garner.

If you want to discuss the response to your question, as it relates to your question, I'll be happy to do that. AFTER you acknowledge my response to your question, if you then want to ask a NEW question, I'll be happy to respond to that. What I'm not going to do is sit quietly as you attempt to take a response I made to one question and act like it was a response to an entirely different question.

I want one piece of evidence that Sharpton was even PRESENT at the protest (much less led it) where "dead cops" was the rallying cry. One.

The more I have read into the this, it's an obvious Fox News editing trick to deceive the audience. They have gotten caught doing this before in the past, but their most ignorant viewers will never catch on. The edited story highlights spread to talk radio, where the chants were discussed by an angry Hannity and Ingram.

Fox news viewers actually thought Romney was going to win.

I don't know how anybody can take Fox seriously anymore...
