Don Imus show loses more advertisers

Double standards are acceptable if your a rapper with trash talking mouth or Al not so Sharpton
by Craig Bachler

With all the talking heads on the radio talking about Imus and his potty mouth, I cannot find anything good on the radio now.
I was never a big fan of his over the top attitude, but he broke no laws, didn't force anyone to listen to his show or mentioned any individual names. Yet, Jesse love child Jackson and Al the racist Sharpton are on this faster than their old ladies.
Now Imus is loosing sponsors and faces being cancelled. Read this little bit about Sharpton from one of my listeners...

"Here is the real Al Sharpton in action. In 1995, he led his National Action Network in an ugly boycott against Freddy’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned business that had its rent raised by its black landlord. Freddy’s in turn raised the rent on one of its subtenants, a black-owned music store. Published transcripts of Sharpton’s incendiary radio broadcasts about the Freddy’s boycott were available only through the Jewish press; the mainstream press printed only a few of the less-inflammatory of the Reverend’s comments. The street leader of the boycott, Morris Powell, was the head of Sharpton’s “Buy Black” Committee. Repeatedly referring to the Jewish proprietors of Freddy’s as “crackers,” Powell and his fellow protesters menacingly told passersby, “Keep [going] right on past Freddy’s, he’s one of the greedy Jew bastards killing our [black] people. Don’t give the Jew a dime.” Some picketers openly threatened violence against whites and Jews –– all under the watchful, approving eye of Sharpton. The subsequent picketing became increasingly violent in tone until one of the protesters eventually shot four whites in the store, and then set the building on fire –– killing seven employees, most of whom were Hispanics."

Make you think twice about the double standard?
