The PointBy Daniel Greenfield

“We taught philosophy and astrology [sic] and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it”. Al Sharpton

“If Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.” Al Sharpton

Beto O’Rourke is scoping out a presidential run. According to Buzzfeed, his recon included a call to Al Sharpton to schedule a meeting. A Sharpton spokeswoman confirmed to Buzzfeed that “they spoke and agreed to meet within the next couple of weeks and they had a great conversation.”

That’s the new Dem frontunner having a chat with the leader of an anti-Semitic and racist hate group linked to, among other things, a racist arson that killed those “women of color” that the left claims to love.

Five young Latino women were among the seven victims of a fire. They were in their late teens and early twenties. They were mothers and daughters. One had two young boys at home. She might have been watching them get married today. Another helped support her mother. Sharpton had vowed, “We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business”. And he and his National Action Network were true to their word. Last year, Obama spoke at the National Action Network. But back then, Sharpton’s lieutenant, Morris Powell, headed the Buy Black Committee with the National Action Network and chanted, “Don’t give the Jew a dime” outside Freddy’s Fashion Mart. Other protesters shouted, “Burn, Cracker, burn.” Powell had escaped in the seventies from a mental hospital after he had attacked a police officer with a lead pipe while shouting, “I am going to kill you, pig.” In the eighties he had been on trial for breaking a Korean woman’s head during another protest. And Powell defended the killer as “A Black Man who struggled for his people to be free.”

Sharpton has had his ring kissed by every Dem presidential nominee. Why should Robert Francis O’Rourke be any different?

The Left is very angry about racism. And then it goes out and hugs racists.
