[2cantremember]

Was that Al, same one as the one on Msnbc today? Hahahahah lmao I thought it was a fat Rick James look a like with all that Soul Glo hard to tell!

I love how people are trying to label liberals as homophobes based on this. Really? This is old footage taken out of context from decades ago.

In your mind it's OK for Sharpton to intimidate someone with the homophobic term 'punk faggot'. It's not OK though for Rush Limbaugh to use that same term. That makes you a racist AND a hypocrite.

Did you miss my other post where Democrats honored, revered and repeatedly re-elected a Ku Klux Klan LEADER to the Senate? Not 'conservatives'...DEMOCRATS. It's YOU who are the real racists. Bye.

I will choose...otherwise.

 Liberals are corrupt scumbags.

It is somewhat amusing that the term "politically incorrect" is used to as you believe "insult" conservatives, because that term in itself is a VERY politically correct way of saying what these conservatives really are: bold-faced cowardly bigots and racists.

And it's funny because every single person who whines and complains about Al Sharpton are all butthurt white people who cry "racism" but have never, ever dealt with institutional racism on any level. He just hurt your feelings. WAAAAAAH!

[DrClaw77]

Is there a conservative that is not a piece of shit, two-faced or otherwise?

[DrClaw77]

Sounds like a typical butthurt white supremacist who hides behind the flag (while waving the one of Adolf Hitler). Or as Al Sharpton put it, a "punk..."

This is 20 something years ago. Al had all black hair. Today at age 58,he looks 15 years older. That melantonin set in largely in his hair.

[willy19981]

But he gets people fired for things he has done.

[BricktownBubba]

You guys gotta realize that this was the late 80s.  Homosexuality wasn't as accepted back then, even among liberals.

[ScotlandtheBrave1000]

what a piece of shit. this guy cries about racism but is one of the biggest racists ive seen.
