Seems Mr. Anti-Semtic is mad about being called a "criminal".
The IRS last year determined he did just that, to the tune of 1.8 million. Mr. Anti-Semitic settled for half of that and narrowly avoided being sent to jail. IRS sources told me he was essentially one step away from being charged with tax evasion and tax fraud.
Additionally, via Freepers in 2007, "After Sharpton’s name surfaced on wiretaps in an unrelated Philadelphia City Hall corruption case, the FBI launched a probe into Sharpton’s fund-raising for his failed 2004 presidential run. The FBI secretly videotaped Sharpton on May 9, 2003, pocketing campaign donations from two “shady fund-raisers” in a NY City hotel room, and then demanding $25,000 more. The two fund-raisers were La-Van Hawkins and the late Ronald White. Hawkins is currently on trial in Philadelphia on corruption charges. White was going to be indicted, but died before charges were brought. A later wiretap recorded Hawkins telling White that they had raised more than $140,000 for Sharpton the previous quarter, but Hawkins was concerned that Sharpton had only reported about $50,000 to the Federal Election Commission, as required by law. Sharpton said the allegations were a “politically motivated smokescreen” to hide the fact the Justice Department is out to get him. He ripped the probe and the secret videotaping, saying, “Can you imagine what would happen if it was a white presidential candidate?”
Only a flurry of sweetheart deals by his lawyers prevented that. Nevertheless in every sense of the word and by it's very definition Al Sharpton - Mr. Anti-Semitic is a criminal.
Rush is right again.
"“Not only did Rush Limbaugh try to criminalize the NFL,” Sharpton told Page2Live, “but now he is saying I’m a criminal. He can call me a race-baiter and all that stuff like he does. But don’t call me a criminal. [...]"Well in fact aside from his involvement in stroking riots and such Mr. Anti-Semitic IS a criminal in every sense of the word. Cheating on your income taxes is criminal.
