Harlem Hate Pastor Leads Screamfest For MSNBC To Fire "Coon" Al Sharpton

Saturday afternoon unhinged Harlem hate Pastor James David Manning led a bizarre screaming rally outside a midtown Sheraton where he accused "nappy-haired" MSNBC commentator Al Sharpton of having AIDS, also calling him a "coon" and a "pimp." Sharpton's supporters booed Manning, for which they were called "pinch-nose Negroes" who are probably carrying "books of food stamps." Somehow nobody got arrested.

PREVIOUSLY ON JMG: Last week Manning declared that Christians must be willing to kill to "stop sodomites." In the last few months Manning has claimed that Starbucks laces their lattes with "sodomite semen" (which can get women pregnant), that former President George H.W. Bush has had "anal sex with 100 men," that all gay Americans will "become cannibals" by next year, that Islamists are justified to execute homosexuals, that Justin Bieber is a transgender man, and that Christian preachers should call gay men "faggots" as often as possible. High-profile anti-gay figures regularly appear on Manning's YouTube show, including Peter LaBarbera.

The Smoking Gun: Al Sharpton Was A 1980s Mob Informant For The FBI

The Smoking Gun yesterday claimed it has conclusively proven that decades-old rumors about Al Sharpton having been a mob informant for the FBI are true.

TSG’s account of Sharpton’s secret life as “CI-7” is based on hundreds of pages of confidential FBI affidavits, documents released by the bureau in response to Freedom of Information Act requests, court records, and extensive interviews with six members of the Genovese squad, as well as other law enforcement officials to whom the activist provided assistance. Like almost every other FBI informant, Sharpton was solely an information source. The parameters of his cooperation did not include Sharpton ever surfacing publicly or testifying on a witness stand.  Genovese squad investigators--representing both the FBI and NYPD--recalled how Sharpton, now 59, deftly extracted information from wiseguys. In fact, one Gambino crime family figure became so comfortable with the protest leader that he spoke openly--during ten wired face-to-face meetings--about a wide range of mob business, from shylocking and extortions to death threats and the sanity of Vincent “Chin” Gigante, the Genovese boss who long feigned mental illness in a bid to deflect law enforcement scrutiny. As the mafioso expounded on these topics, Sharpton’s briefcase--a specially customized Hartmann model--recorded his every word.

Sharpton has confirmed some of the allegations to the New York Daily News, but takes issue with the term "informant."

“If you’re a victim of a threat, you’re not an informant — you’re a victim trying to protect yourself,” he said. He said his conversations with mob figures were recorded, though he denied he used a bugged briefcase. He said he was never paid, but was occasionally reimbursed for car travel. “I encourage kids all the time to work with law enforcement,” he said. “You’re acting like it’s a scandal for me to do that?” He said the role of his information in bringing down mob figures was vastly exaggerated. “I was never told I was an informant or I had a number or none of that,” he said. “Whether or not they used some of the other information they got during that period for other purposes, I don’t know.”

The Smoking Gun story opens with several paragraphs which detail Sharpton's relationship with President Obama and recent visits to the White House.

Sharpton Gets Abortion Billboard Yanked

Rev. Al Sharpton says he's convinced an outdoor advertising company to pull the controversial anti-abortion billboard that went up in Soho earlier this week. Sharpton: "The billboard was offensive, especially during Black History Month, and I had intended to hold a press conference Friday in front of the billboard to protest the message of racial profiling and against a woman's right to choose."

UPDATE: Gothamist notes that the woman whose child posed for the stock photo used on the billboard is not very happy either. "I would never endorse something like that. Especially with my child's image. It's bad enough you're saying this about African Americans, but then you put a child with an innocent face. I just want the image off of it. Use another image—just not hers."

Sharpton: No More MJ Pedo Stories

Al Sharpton thinks the media is focusing too much on Michael Jackson's legal woes, rather than his musical accomplishments. He also wants a "national day of mourning" (to be declared by whom?) and for the USPS to immediately issue a commemorative Michael Jackson stamp, something that is not usually done until five years after the death of a celebrity (with the exception of U.S. presidents.) Even though the Elvis stamp yielded $124M in sales, the always cash-strapped Postal Service says they'll still probably wait until 2014.

New York Post Hits New Low With Outrageous Racist Sean Delonas Cartoon

Achieving the impossible, scumbag New York Post cartoonist Sean Delonas has outdone even himself with today's cartoon combining yesterday's bizarre "monkey critically injures woman" story with a reference to Barack Obama and the stimulus bill. Outrage has been immediate and widespread as thousands of news stories condemning the cartoon have already been posted. Al Sharpton, never a fan of the Post, has weighed in.

Al Sharpton:

The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that "Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill." Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?

The NY Post regularly publishes Delonas cartoons which depict gay men in bed with farm animals or flittering above the ground in ballerina drag. Let's hope that this repulsive cartoon is the final straw to end his career.

UPDATE: Gawker has posted a gallery of Sean Delonas' most offensive cartoons.

Friendly Voices - Al Sharpton

"There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not end brutality and poverty, but to break into people's bedrooms and claim that God sent you. It amazes me when I looked at California and saw churches that had nothing to say about police brutality, nothing to say when a young black boy was shot while he was wearing police handcuffs, nothing to say when they overturned affirmative action, nothing to say when people were being [relegated] into poverty, yet they were organizing and mobilizing to stop consenting adults from choosing their life partners.

"I am tired of seeing ministers who will preach homophobia by day, and then after they're preaching, when the lights are off they go cruising for trade...We know you're not preaching the Bible, because if you were preaching the Bible we would have heard from you. We would have heard from you when people were starving in California--when they deregulated the economy and crashed Wall Street you had nothing to say. When [accused Ponzi scammer] Madoff made off with the money, you had nothing to say. When Bush took us to war chasing weapons of mass destruction that weren't there you had nothing to say. But all of a sudden, when Proposition 8 came out, you had so much to say, but since you stepped in the rain, we're going to step in the rain with you." - Rev. Al Sharpton, speaking at the Human Rights Ecumenical Service at Atlanta's Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Dog, The Racist Hunter

By now you've no doubt heard about Duane "Dog" Chapman, star of A&E's Dog, The Bounty Hunter, whose racist phone tirade about his son's black girlfriend was leaked to the press. The transcript:

Duane "Dog" Chapman: I'm not taking the chance on some motherf**ker. I don't care if she's a Mexican, a whore, whatever...it's not because she's black. It’s because we use he word n***er sometimes here.

I'm not going to take a chance ever in life for losing everything I've worked for for 30 years because some f**king n**er heard us say n***er and turned us into the Enquirer magazine. Our career is over. I'm not taking that chance at all, never in life. Never. Never.

If Lyssa [his daughter] was dating a n***er we would all say F*ck You. . .and you know that. If Lyssa brought a black guy home ya da da...it's not that they're black, it's none of that. It's that we use the word n***er. We don't mean you fucking scum n***er without a soul. We don't mean that shit. But America would think we mean that. And we're not taking a chance on losing everything we got over a racial slur because our son goes with a girl like that. I can't do that Tucker. You can't expect Gary, Bonnie, Cecily, all them young kids to [garbled] because 'I'm in love for 7 months' - fuck that! So, I'll help you get another job but you can not work here unless you break up with her and she's out of your life. I can't handle that shit. I got 'em in the parking lot trying to record us. I got that girl saying she's gonna wear a recorder...

Tucker Chapman: I don't even know what to say.

A&E has canceled production of Chapman's show. And now Chapman is asking Rev. Al Sharpton to meet with him, in the hopes of mitigating the damage. Too late, Dog. Predictably, Sharpton is "considering" meeting with Chapman, because hey, THERE WILL BE CAMERAS THERE.

Sickening, all around.

Sharpton-Thurmond Connection

Reseachers at Ancestry.com have uncovered proof that political gadfly and relentless muckraiser Al Shapton is a descendant of a slave owned by the family of late Sen. Strom Thurmond, one of the most rabid foes of desegregation and civil rights. After his death, it was revealed that Thurmond had fathered a biracial child with his family's housekeeper. Sharpton calls this latest revelation the most "shocking" news of his life. Thurmond was the second-longest serving senator in U.S. history, at almost 48 years. Sharpton has been irritating New Yorkers since dinosaurs ruled the earth.
