Off The Hook

Filed under: Politik

The Reverend Al Sharpton is probably breathing a little easier today!

The Feds have dropped their criminal probe of shady books and tax fraud by the Rev and his National Action Network.

That means no indictment or jail time, or even an appearance before a grand jury.

However, the source says he's agreed to pay millions in back taxes.

Another interesting point: that signals that the government will not pursue allegations that he extorted contributions from corporations in exchange for not protesting against them.

Time to pay off those lawyer's bills!

I think he's cute. I like him so much more than obama. I almost wish that I was black, cause at least they have him. What do us white people have?
Lovel says – reply to this

11

No, he didn't get lucky. They had to drop it because they didn't have any evidence. They would not have dropped anything if they thought they could win. Probably the worst they could find is that he owes back taxes. That doesn't mean he did anything shady. As for extorting money from corporations, that is bullshit and they knew it.

Re: JJ –
I agree, when do us white people start acting like little Al? If we did that shit, we'd get arrested because our skin is not black.

Lovel,,everyone knows he extorted the companies,,it's not bullshit, it is a FACT. This scam artist has been pulling his shit for years. Now the companies would have to come forward and admit they gave his lazy black ass money to shut him up,, which they cannot and will not do,,but everyone knows they were extorted. Thats Shaptons business plan. Sharpton does not work in the whole of the black peoples interests. Sharpton works for HIS interests. And sorry Lovell, yes,,owing millions in back taxes does indicate shady dealings and mismanages books and poorly kept tax records. I guess Sharpton is too busy chasing around the white devils and give press than having his own business in order,,,or,,,you could just say he's a typical lazy ass coon that has made a profitable career off milking the system through quasi religious tax free scams and corporate shakedowns.

Years ago (during Brawley Time) I passed Sharpton at a small table in a Brooklyn Thai restaurant. As I passed I heard Sharpton say "I hate white people." I bet he loves them now!-at least the ones at the IRS!

So where does all his $$millions come from??

Re: mom –
What you mean to say is that he is a true gangster, right? So, in order for them to prosecute him..means that the white collar gangster's which are the Rockefellers and the J.P. Morgan's will have to be arrested. Cause if I know gangster's, they all have their fingers in everything. No wonder Obama has so much money, he's part of these gangster and the one's from the Middle East,huh?

Re: smily – Exactly got scared that they'll be another big riot (LIKE JJ SAID) Better off just letting him get off then facing a bunch of crying idiots…The way out is usually by protesting and whining. We should of all protested when we found out that TAWANA BRAWLEY LIED AND SAID SHE WAS RAPED BY WHITES. Dumb trouble making bitch.

He made a deal. I wonder if the average person could avoid jail time for the same. I am no fan, but Joe Francis, take note, although I doubt black America would be up in arms if Francis got thrown in the pokey on his alleged tax pecadillo.

I hate people like him, He prays off of people. He acts like this person who stands up for black rights and blah blah blah but really he's a FUCKIN BULLY and he's hustling people for their money. He sees everything as a racial issue so he goes around threatening to protest unless he gets money. I hate people like him, we live in 2008, if you can't let the past be the past and continue to treat people like its the 50's and protest every little thing then you are a bully. I'm Native American my ancestors been through worse you never see us bitch as much as this fat fuck does. It just annoys the shit out of me. I hate how in this day and age everything is based on race. My children are half black and I refuse to raise them thinking that you are defined by that race garbage.

I love Reverend Al and Reverend Jesse so much more than Obama. You may not like them but at least they keep it real. Obama says he's a Christian but there is something about him I just don't trust. Reverend Al needs to hire better accountants. It's not like he was doing all the paperwork. Yes, he's responsible. That's why he has to pay back taxes but that doesn't mean he did anything shady. As for extorting money from corporations, if they weren't in the wrong why would they need to pay him off? Evidently the contributions they made to him were made in good faith because they wanted to support his organization. GO REVEREND AL!

Its only beacause he's black. A loud mouth black at that! I am tired of blacks being given a free ride. They are lazy criminals who steal and suck off the welfare system. I really wish we could ship them all back to Africa.

I wonder do you think he got off because of who he tries to be. All he is, is a whore monger. He goes where the publicity is. Where in the hell was he when the mexican man in PA was attacked and killed. All the while yelling racial slurs. However, the police say it wasnt a hate crime. He leaves behind 2 small kids. Where is Al Sharpton now. Extorting companies. ASSHOLE!!

Re: melis – Al Sharpton doesn't care about shit like that, Mexican isn't black. If that happened to a black person he would be on every station you would never hear the end of it. He would be going off about how "black people need to come together and kill the white devil" or some shit fuck that. AL SHARPTON NEEDS TO GO TO THE SLUMS AND THE GHETTO'S AND HELP STOP BLACK PEOPLE FROM KILLING BLACK PEOPLE!! If he really cared about black people and not money, thats what he would be doing.

He's a total phoney. IRS let him off because they didn't want to be accused of racism. IRS doing the same thing that most media (especially MSNBC,NBC and Newsweek) are doing with Obama, giving him glowing kiss-ass brown nosing coverage so as not be called racist.

All of this just reaffirms my faith in God and the gut feeling I have always had about Reverend Al. He doesn't take the easy road. He ruffles the feathers of these corporate devils and government miscreants. If they had been able to find any evidence of wrongdoing by him at all they would have loved to pursue it. That's how I know he is completely innocent. Obviously, they had zero evidence. On the other hand, lets investigate and prosecute the real criminals in the upper echelon. Oh wait, that will never happen. My bad.

Whatever, Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's days are coming-they cant be HNIC forever! They're way to damn opinionated. Call me ignorant if you want, I dont care..I can't stand either one of them!

What a piece of SHIT!
At the very least, this man and the press should stop calling this man a Reverend.
Definitions of reverend on the Web:
* clergyman: a member of the clergy and a spiritual leader of the Christian Church
* a title of respect for a clergyman
* worthy of adoration or reverence
This guy is worthy of adoration???
Another loud mouth trouble maker, poorly representing the black community.
Blacks wonder why they are stereotyped? Or disrespected?
Look who they choose as representatives.
And I thought you were supposed to go to jail for not paying taxes??
Oh yeah, priests don't pay taxes!!!
Obviously this guy still has political pull, and they cut him a deal, so people would not protest in NYC and closed down the streets again!!
Talk about extortion?
This guy has the Feds and the IRS running scared.
Maybe he is a good choice to represent blacks!
BTW: We haven't forgotten about the Tawana Brawley incident, Rev!
dick says – reply to this

89

Tawana Brawley, a 15-year-old black girl, was found smeared with feces, lying in a garbage bag, her clothing torn and burned and with various slurs and epithets written on her body in charcoal. Brawley claimed she had been assaulted and raped by six white men, some of them police officers, in the town of Wappingers Falls, New York.
Attorneys Alton H. Maddox and C. Vernon Mason joined Sharpton in support of Brawley. A grand jury was convened; after seven months of examining police and medical records, the jury determined that Brawley had fabricated her story. Sharpton, Maddox, and Mason accused the Dutchess County prosecutor, Steven Pagones, of racism and of being one of the perpetrators of the alleged abduction and rape. The three were successfully sued for slander and ordered to pay $345,000 in damages, the jury finding Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two, and Mason for one.

For what he said about Barrak Obama's nut sack alone, I believe that he should be just as, if not harder chastised, in public, as lets say, that racist comedian Michael something…( name elludes me right now) or Don Imus.

Not for racist comments but for reverse racisim comments.
