| MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton appeared with anchor Thomas Roberts on Thursday to promote his upcoming political rally in opposition to the National Rifle Association. This is not the first time that Sharpton has deliberately blurred the lines between a news anchor and a political activist, and for all the pronouncements that his hiring at MSNBC signaled a cultural shift — with straight broadcast anchors increasingly indulging in evangelism for political causes — Sharpton remains the only news anchor to headline explicitly political rallies. (Snip) “You’re no stranger to the fight to end gun violence,”

Comments:
I never thought I would live to see the day where "news anchor" and "Sharpton" were in the same sentence. That station gave up any credibility they may have had years and years ago.

Why hasn´t this black racist rabble rouser taken his anti gun stand to Chicago where young blacks are killing EACH OTHER at a rapid clip DAILY??? This is where the guns are ILLIGAL ( so is murder ) but the authorities are impotent to do anything to stop the carnage but the media fails to raise the issue because Democrats run the place and guns have been banned forever. How´s that working for Chicago??? Solve that meat-grinder first and then come up with LOGICAL suggestions before you open your foolish mouth!!!

If you have a few extra minutes and Internet access try this exercise.
Find out how many illegal shootings occurred in 2012.
Find out how many of those shootings were done by NRA members.
Sharpton is an idiot!

Most amusing! Even as Tawana Brawley makes it back into the news...
While it´s *extremely* politically incorrect to say so - we all owe Al Sharpton a debt of gratitude. As long as he´s around, there´s a legitimate reason for ´people of other races´ to use the ´N´ word to describe a human being.
We´ll have to invent a term to describe the liberal news media that considers him a viable news-blurber - but it´s also amusing as Hades to recall the Democratic party *almost* ran that buffoon for president, and drop dead hysterical to note how many liberals actually think Al´s relevant...

It´s just amazing that a so called news station can be allowed to use itself as a political platform for anything.Sharpton is totally yesterday with only a few bitter clingers still hanging by his side. But MSNBC and CNN using themselves as political activists shows how far the media has gone in the tank for left wing causes.
They´re not going to win the gun argument on a factual basis,so they simply return to the old playbook of thuggery.

Texas Senator John Cornyn has just introduced an amendment to the Gang of 8 bill that is supposed to add more border security to the legislation. But according to ICE Council President Chris Crane, the amendment does nothing to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents to enforce the law. Crane sent a letter to Senators Cornyn and Rubio Wednesday to express concerns.

Edward Markey, taking advantage of being away from his fit wife to grab a cheesburger lunch. Shortly before noon, Obama and his posse stopped at Charlie´s Sandwich Shoppe (motto: "where hash rules") in Boston´s South End where other politicians like Gov. Deval Patrick and Mayor Tom Menino waited. The pool report noted: "Before leaving the restaurant, the president purchased a cheeseburger and fries for lunch.

Congressional ignorance about the National Security Agency’s phone record collection exists because lawmakers skipped briefings on the program, according to President Obama’s spokesman, who maintained that the program had sufficient congressional oversight. “I think it’s been amply demonstrated that with regards to both sections of the Patriot Act and the programs that exist under those authorities that members of Congress were briefed or had the opportunity to be briefed on them,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters during the gaggle today. “And I would point you to statements by Senator Reid and to

Former Cincinnati mayor and Rep. Tom Luken and Hamilton County auditor Dusty Rhodes are quoted at length in a statement that calls the IRS actions an "outright assault" on free speech and religious freedoms, and describes the Obama administration´s attempts to blame the targeting on low-level employees as "offensive and beyond reason."

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that the incidence of pregnancy caused by rape is "very low," prompting criticism from Democrats who said the GOP is waging a "war on women." Franks made the comment during a committee mark-up of his late-term abortion ban bill, which is expected pass the House next week. The Republican lawmaker was arguing against a Democratic amendment allowing rape and incest victims to procure abortions. As written, the bill only exempts women whose lives are in danger. "You know, the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low," Franks said.

The Senate voted 82-15 to allow debate on a bill that will grant legal status to illegal aliens before securing the border. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said the Senate bill will “crash and burn in the House.” During a press conference on Capitol Hill, Boehner was asked, “Is the House going to stop immigration

Young teens at a pricey Upper West Side private school were asked to write first-person suicide notes — a macabre assignment that some of their parents have blasted as “inappropriate.” The English-class homework at York Prep required students as young as 14 to write goodbye missives from the perspective of a character who offs herself in “The Secret Life of Bees,” a best-selling book and film. The task included justifying why they had committed suicide, a grim process that rattled a few nerves. “We were pretty stunned at the scope of the assignment,” said a father of a ninth-grade

To say that there is disgust growing in the ranks is an understatement. If adults who broke the law to come here illegally get citizenship, it will be a spit in the face of millions of legal immigrants who followed the rules, and many millions more who wait patiently on the other side of the oceans and borders. It will sent a message of lawlessness which will encourage more lawlessness. Marco Rubio and others are imploding the party to achieve Chuck Schumer’s dream.

[WATCH VIDEO] While government contractors such as NSA leaker Edward Snowden and others with high-level security clearances can view classified government secrets, members of Congress face a much tougher burden: consent from their peers.

As a result, a man who came into office hellbent on restoring faith in government is on the verge of inspiring a libertarian revival. There have always been (at least) two Barack Obamas.

Here are 10 things to know about Snowden. 1. Doesn’t have a high school diploma. According to The Guardian, which published the first story about the NSA surveillance, Snowden never finished his high school coursework, taking classes at a community college in Maryland but not completing those, either. The paper reported he did obtain a GED later. 2. Donated to Ron Paul. Zeke Miller of Time reported that Snowden made two

WASHINGTON — A State Department whistleblower has accused high-ranking staff of a massive coverup — including keeping a lid on findings that members of then-Secretary Hillary Clinton’s security detail and the Belgian ambassador solicited prostitutes. A chief investigator for the agency’s inspector general wrote a memo outlining eight cases that were derailed by senior officials, including one instance of interference by Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills. Any mention of the cases was removed from an IG report about problems within the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), which provides protection and investigates crimes involving any State Department workers overseas.

Edward Snowden should go to jail, as quickly and for as long as possible. This is a leak case that should be difficult for even Eric Holder to bungle. Snowden has already confessed in public to the crime of leaking classified information. He has said in public how he did it, that he did it with intent, and that he knowingly harmed our national security. Holder will finally find a leaker that he can prosecute. But given the Holder Justice Department’s record on the other leak cases, who wants to take a bet

In a Gallup tracking poll released Tuesday, former-President George W. Bush currently stands with a favorability rating of 49%, compared to 46% who see the 43rd president unfavorably. Meanwhile, another Gallup poll shows President Obama with only a 47% approval rating, with 44% disapproving. If you think about it, this makes perfect sense. After all, Obama fooled everyone when he ran as the anti-Bush in 2008. Everyone thought Obama meant he would be less hawkish than his predecessor.
