I still think Sharpton missed a few necessary steps to restoring himself as a self-identified moral leader, but we can agree to disagree.

Ask Steven Pagones.

“[Sharpton] says he regrets having resorted to "name-calling" against Pagones and that the case taught him to refrain from personal attacks in his activism.”
Jeez, you can do better that, Larry. Actually, with regard to the Brawley affair you probably can’t.

I am quoting.

This same statement was posted earlier.
It’s an idiotic statement. One inconsistent with the why should I apologize if I believed it quote you also posted. As I said we can agree to disagree, but Sharpton continuing to atttempt to justify repulsive behavior is, well, repulsive.

Maybe he should rip his shirt and self flagellate with a studded whip?

There’s a whole lot of shit streamed over the dam and under the  Bridge since 1987 and everyone involved in the Brawley shit show has been found culpable and made to pay.

But it’s never enough, is it?

If asked, I’ll even write it for him. “I’m sorry I tried to ruin his life. I’m a charlatan.” He’s welcome to edit.

Too much good done in the last twenty years to focus on a wrong that was done thirty four years ago to wronged person who was made whole.

But you hold on to that and keep it close to your heart.

The bottom line is that officers need to be allowed to do their job,” Imperatrice went on. “They need to be able to proactively police the streets and have bad guys that are arrested be held behind bars and not re-released to reoffend. There are people out there becoming victims because of irresponsible remarks such as these, they deserve better that

Fucking cunt.

It's not inconsistent at all.

In the one case, his actions and words were predicated on belief.

In the other, he engaged in a personal attack against somebody and expressed regret.

("Start with one," or words to that effect.)

Doesn't mean I agree with him that he owes no apologies re the Brawley affair, but that the two comments are not in conflict, far as I can tell.

I don't think it matters, Yank.

He's sorry about the personal attack because it was uncalled for.

He could pursue any other aspect of the case without needing to attack the individual.

McCarthy at least had the decency to drink himself to death.

It shows republicans have a long history of ruinous grifting that eats away at the fabric of our nation. Their mascot shouldn’t be the elephant. Their mascot should be one of the elephant’s intestinal worms.

This was also a nice moment for the GOP and their co-parasites
