Al Sharpton: Racist, Sexist Rush Limbaugh Should Be Canned by FCC
By Tim Graham | November 27, 2010 | 07:59
Brian Maloney at the Radio Equalizer blog reported that the Rev. Al Sharpton used his radio show to accuse someone else of having a radio show with a racial bias. Sharpton said clearly the FCC is not trying to block "free speech" just racist or sexist speech, as defined by a wise man, like Al Sharpton:
And part of what I think the FCC needs to do is give the guidelines of what is excusable and what is not. What is permit-able or permitted I should say and what is not because clearly you’re not trying to block free speech.
But, I think that for people to engage in programming shows that will use racial or gender bias as their format, we’ve got a right to say there are standards that the FCC can say that you cannot continue to have licenses to do that. You got to remember that those stations that Rush Limbaugh is on and others are regulated by FCC, granted by FCC. They go back to them to get waivers. They go back to them to get consolidation.
They have the right to set standards that does not impair your right to speak what you believe, but it does say that you are not going to be able to do that to offend groups of Americans based on their race their gender, their sexual status, none of that.
Clearly, Sharpton has never liked how Limbaugh's parodists had him singing "Barack, the Magic Negro," which helpful liberals in the media then went to certain Hillary-created media "watchdogs" to rabidly insist Rush was airing the equivalent of a "black-faced minstrel show."

guidelines of what is excusable and what is not. So Al is all in favor of free, inoffensive, speech. How big of him. Can't wait until Al gets hoist on his own petard. And he will; he can't resist stereotyping white people and conservatives.The Liberal version of free speech

...you forgot "Driving Miss Nancy", idiot.
Shanklin has some screamingly funny new parodies, all of which probably have old Al's knicks in a twist.
Rush is going to have fun with this on Monday, I can't wait.

Is Al on his soap box again blaming everyone else for race baiting but exempting himself?? LOL Can anyone remember Tawana Brawley and the total ass he made of himself and the black cause? Rush Limbaugh's parodies are just that entertaining segments to his show. Portraying Rush as a sexist or racist is from the "old playbook" Yawn.

I think Al is saying that rap 'music' should be banned from all forms of broadcasting.

Why don't we just ban Al for mangling the English language?
Because as the grammar police, that para you cited gives me a headache. Good grief! Could old Al possibly make a stupid thought any worse? Yep! Absolutely.

Imagine being Black and someone like Sharpton is assigned to speak for you. I think I would quit being Black and choose another race. Hey.... if it's possible to think you are born with the wrong genitalia then why not claim you were born with the wrong skin color? Obama could have done it. He is half White and was raised White but chose Black as his race.
Kind of like Michael Jackson?

Enough with the kidding, though.
I would imagine this kind of demigoguery must be particularly galling to black conservatives, like LTC Allen West.
Although, I must say, he probably does the same thing I do (in re: the feminazis).....ignore them. They're beneath contempt for being so stupid.

James Browns' ex-hairdresser is just envious and jealous of Rush, because Notso-Sharpton's not even in the ballpark, the parking lot, or even on the right road to the stadium of ideas, IQ, relevance, respectablilty, or influence.................plus, if there was ever ANYONE in the public arena that has been making a pretty good living his whole adult life by USING 'racism', and Im sure some 'sexism' thrown in there as well, it's Al Sharpton...........along with his partner in 'brother bullsh*t' Jesse Jackson.................I'm not going to put the 'Rev' in front of their names, because it 'don't mean a day-am thang'........................

After Tawana Brawley and his stance on the Duke Lacrosse Team, this miserable bag of hatred should be banned from the air waves. For being a Reverend, all he knows how to spew is hate.

I hope the Reverend gets his wish and all those shows that use 'whitey', 'redneck', 'cracker', 'honky', etc. for cheap laughs at the expense of Euro-Americans get thrown off the air.

"They have the right to set standards that does not impair your right to speak what you believe, but it does say that you are not going to be able to do that to offend groups of Americans based on their race their gender, their sexual status, none of that."
Well, say goodbye to BET then, as that is a network that caters to the Black community, that is race-based by its very nature, and, according to Al, the Great Sharpton, THAT'S unacceptable.

I am sick and tired of the black race baiters claiming every word they don't like as racist. Hey, Al, watermelon. Is that racist?
