Al Sharpton: It’s Time for the FCC to Crack Down on Rush Limbaugh (Audio)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, November 23, 2010, 1:44 PM
As the Obama regime continues its assault on our bodies the left continues its assault on free speech…
Race-baiter Al Sharpton called on the FCC to crack down on Rush Limbaugh.
Via The Radio Equalizer:
Here’s the transcript:
And part of what I think the FCC needs to do is give the guidelines of what is excusable and what is not. What is permit-able or permitted I should say and what is not because clearly you’re not trying to block free speech.
But, I think that for people to engage in programming shows that will use racial or gender bias as their format, we’ve got a right to say there are standards that the FCC can say that you cannot continue to have licenses to do that. You got to remember that those stations that Rush Limbaugh is on and others are regulated by FCC, granted by FCC. They go back to them to get wavers. They go back to them to get consolidation.
They have the right to set standards that does not impair your right to speak what you believe, but it does say that you are not going to be able to do that to offend groups of Americans based on their race their gender, their sexual status, none of that.
Rush Limbaugh should sue him for slander.
It there’s any race-baiting going on we know where it’s coming from Al.

I wonder why the IRS doesn’t crack down on Sharpton. And his race baiting is really getting old and tired, how is that charity?
Granny commented:
Hey Al – this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. There is no such thing as “unacceptable” speech. Haven’t you ever read the Constitution? Let me clue you in -
* First Amendment – Establishment Clause, Free Exercise Clause; freedom of speech, of the press, and of assembly; right to petition
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
If Congress can’t make a law, then the FCC can’t either!
Olga Centura commented:
Waver === waiver
Permit-able = permissible
“You got to remember that those stations that Rush Limbaugh is on and others are regulated by FCC, granted by FCC.”
How about, “You’ve got to remember ….regulated by the FCC, granted by the FCC”.
Hey Al, your spelling and your grammar are too atrocious even for consideration. Why don’t you start paying your taxes like the rest of us and get a real job — something besides chief of the race baiting in the United States?
Ruebacca commented:
Rush is very careful and uses thier words, words the left uses to discribing themseles.
NeoKong commented:
Tawanna Brawley.
Freddie’s Fashion Mart.
Al Sharpton can STFU.
Rock commented:
And we should believe Al (the convicted fraud) Sharpton why? Of course he does not mention Chris Matthews, or Keith Olberman, sure that was just a lapse in memory, a malady he seems prone to. Given his defense of all things Obama you might think he suffers from the same raciest behavior he accuses others of.
Gini commented:
“FCC needs to do is give the guidelines of what is excusable and what is not. What is permit-able or permitted I should say and what is not because clearly you’re not ………..”
Or has Sharpton forgotten what he said regarding Tawana Brayley ……………….
Sharpton Should have been off the air waves and out of the media long, long ago if what he wants is applied to him.
Foolish man.
Betsy Ross commented:
Please, al, refer to me where in the US Constitution it states that speech must not offend…
John Fembup commented:
Let’s recall that Mr. Sharpton has still not paid the fine levied on him from his Tawana Brawley slander verdict. Yet he expects the government to ignore the Constitution in the service of his own agenda.
That’s the typical leftist tactic: obey the law only as it suits you, and demand others obey the law – - only as it suits you.
Truly, inside every leftist is a totalitarian aching to burst forth.
DANEgerus commented:
Al Sharpton’s hate speech has gotten Jews murdered on two occasions. If that doesn’t warrant investigation then color me bored that the race-baiter wants someone lynched.
RedBeard commented:
Sharpton is a fool who, by comparison, makes all other fools look like Stephen Hawking.

it’s way past time for the law to crack down on
you Al, you lying murdering sack of (fitb), gah!!

bigkahuna commented:
Tell the Rev. Al STFU Sharpton ( Rev of what and who I want to know) he can shove it. Nobody has the right NOT TO BE OFFENDED. If it was the case he would be in jail a long time ago as he constantly offends white America and probably many Americans of African heritage as well. He and Jesse the cheating slimeball jackson are the biggest racists there are. They never see anything BUT race. Its time for Americans of all color to tell these two idiots there 15 minutes are up. Thsi country would be far better off if they would just go away.
Granny commented:
Now HERE is some GREAT news!
Bill could give Homeland Security Control over tech giants (Google, Apple, Microsoft)
Homeland “Security” can’t even make sure that vital US government websites don’t end up in China on Chinese servers! How the hell can they control internet security better than Apple or Microsoft?
wheezer commented:
Al Sharpton……To much chlorine in the gene pool?
chuck in st paul commented:
This is GREAT! It is another sign that fascists are losing the idea war. The LSM is doing a slow motion collapse as more and more people get their news and views elsewhere. All this screaming and posturing about ‘offensive speech’ is the telltale.
Welcome to the information age Al. Now, go pack sand.
Typical Conservative commented:
We shouldn’t listen to the African-American Al Sharpton’s opinions about radio. We should just let Rush Limbaugh attack Sharpton’s race and background through his offensive programming. Sure, we conservatives may not think that Limbaugh’s programming is racist, but Al Sharpton, a black man, does. We just won’t listen to his opinion, because he being a black man, clearly does not have the right to be respected about racial opinions in this country.
If Rush Limbaugh says something racist, he must be right, and Al Sharpton’s black opinion will not be tolerated.
Neo commented:
Al … I’m offended … shut up
Rock commented:
Odd how the Left, the so called educated elite seek to shut down the Rights freedom of speech. Couldn’t be, they are losing the war of words, na not the snob’s of the Ivy League Training Camps. But then just watched a report where Lefties are trying to pass a bill to outlaw words that children can use, and yet traumatizing these same children with evasive and frighting body searches.
Granny commented:
Typical Conservative #17 – you don’t read real well, do you? There is nothing “typically conservative” about your comment other than you sound like a leftist troll. Just exactly which part of the first amendment regarding Freedom of Speech do you not understand?
Rush Limbaugh is media. Thus, under either his own inherent Right To Freedom of (all, even offensive) Speech or his right as a member of the media to Freedom of the Press, Rush can say what he wants to say.
Quoting Al Sharpton’s own words is not racist, nor is playing clips of Jeremiah Wright damning America. Freedom of Speech goes two ways. Al Sharpton is entitled to his opinion and he uses his Freedom of Speech to exercise it regularly. All the rest of us are entitled under our own Freedom of Speech to disagree.

Black on Black crime rises every year. Where is the outcry?
RedBeard commented:
“Typical Conservative.” Clever, I suppose, to the crowd you run with. To the rest of the world, just tiresome and intellectually vacant.
dries commented:
The Rev. Al Sharpton paid himself a six-figure salary for the first time last year – even as his civil rights group drowns in red ink and his tax bill hit nearly $1 million.
After back-to-back years in which he took no compensation from the National Action Network, Sharpton pulled down $250,000 last year, the organization’s federal tax filings show.
The payday comes even as his group, a Harlem-based nonprofit organization, lists $1.1 million in unpaid city, state and federal payroll taxes as of Jan. 1, the group’s auditor told the Internal Revenue Service.
At the same time, the reverend has three outstanding warrants totaling $988,000 in unpaid personal income taxes from 2002 to 2007, the state Department of Taxation and Finance says
kansas commented:
Attacking Limbaugh didn’t work out so well for Ogabe. Wonder how it’s gonna work out for the Sharpster.
Spider commented:
So its not ‘Free’ speech, its partially discounted speech. The amount of the discount will be determined by our betters.
Militant Conservative commented:
Typical Conservative, Your nothing but a dung throwing race baiter yourself. Al can say what he wants and so can we on the right. You lefterds are getting ready to see one hell of a backlash. I know you want violence, but it is the left that will start it. Then it will end quickly as the right purges society of the socialist agenda. powder is dry.
Paul commented:
sorry, dont give a rats ass what he has to say – He is like the ultimate troll – comments and gets everyone counter punching -
gus commented:
Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?? The only reason Al not so Sharp-ton is on the air is because of RACE.
averagemelon commented:
Funny thing is, Al, if people do not like what Limbaugh is saying, they are FREE to turn the dial. If enough people do not like what Limbaugh is saying, Limbaugh GOES OUT OF BUSINESS…you know, sort of like what is happening to MSNBC?
You are nothing but a tired mouthpiece of personal gain through the lies of the overflow of your heart. Now, there’s a dark place, indeed.
Espresso Logic - The 6th Sense commented:
I’d like to tell Al to take a flying f^ck on a rolling donut but he’s too fat to catch up to one.
Al, go take a flying f^ck on a lying donut.
Espresso Logic - The 6th Sense commented:
Does anyone else think that the only reason we have race problems in this country is because of our federal gubbermint?
Ohio Granny commented:
I’m offended! Think we can get that nasty race baiter Al Sharpton offed by the FCC? Naturally, we don’t want to restrict his free speech. We just want to control what he says.

(curses here)
had a beauty of post all written out but clicked the wrong (fitb) tab and
lost it, gah!! anyways, until i can recoup my thoughts (& links), these
off the beaten path bits of info will have to suffice..
and the following may or may not be OT, but anything re: censprship via the net, will eventually lead to censorship via other means, not that they haven’t been censoring everything & anything for some time now ie: TWC will be removing my Local Fox News (not cable per se) Station..
hah, just heard Rush saying they’re going to try & push the Net Nutrality Bill through before the next Congress is seated, that was what i was looking for to begin with as i had read about it somewhere the other day..
Fairness Doctrine 2.0: “Nudging” What You Read Online
[This in effect would entail heavy regulation and enforcement of all
content on the Internet, and would be a gross violation of property
and First Amendment rights. And why should anyone blindly assume
government bureaucrats are neutral enforcers? In effect, this is the
Fairness Doctrine for the Internet.]
Security reform? What security reform?
[The issue is not quite dead. A comprehensive cybersecurity bill, S. 3480, introduced by Independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has passed out of committee but has not been acted on by the full Senate. The sitting Congress still has time to consider the bill during the short session, which Collins urged it to do Nov. 17 during a cybersecurity hearing before the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. “I personally think it is an ideal issue for the lame duck Congress to take up,” she said.]

Blue Collar Todd commented:
And those of us who listen to him need to be “re-educated”. First Rush then who would be next? Hannity, Beck, Ingraham, the blogosphere? Rush would be the first domino to fall and the list would just get bigger.
ClassicFilm commented:
As much as Al Sharpton and his hate-mongering, race-baiting ilk offends me and my family, conservatives understand that the Constitution’s provision is for freedom of speech, period — there is no asterisked footnote that it must not be offensive to anyone. If that were the case, arguments could be made by any freedom-robbing sleaze to eliminate speech, spoken or written, not only from radio, but from all TV shows, film, books, newspapers, magazines, and any press conference with Sean Penn, the Dixie Chicks, or Janeane Garofalo.

(So-called) “Rev.” Al always has his panties in a wad over something.

daryl commented:
“Fat Albert” Sharpton is nothing more than a useful idiot for the leftists. He’s been quiet too long and is afraid if he doesn’t sputter something in his ghetto brogue “his people”, (whomever that is), will forget him.
“HEY!hey! hey! ruush limbo aughter stfu, fo he say sumfin mite hut sumbiidee’s fillins.”
Testify bro Al, you not so big (anymore) clown. Stir ‘em up. If you let yo pipple cool down you might lose your lead race baiter status.
Spike commented:
Hey Al, why don’t you go back to compton or where ever it is you cam from and stfu!
MGB commented:
No gender bias? I guess that rules out any Muslim stations. Farrakan? Say goodbye to any hope of a radio station for him. Ditto for Al, himself. Have you ever listened to some of the so-called “black” stations? Off the air for them, too. Mega-racial bias going on there. “Crackers” all day long.
MGB commented:
Sorry. I spelled Screwy Louie’s name wrong: That’s FarraKHAN, as in Genghis.
VeryConcerned commented:
I am going to pray for this lost soul for he knows what he does which makes him no innocent and I hope he lives like a king in his time on earth because the eternal life won’t be as glorious as he thinks his Rev. status is going to hold for a phony. The path he is on has a better chance of meeting with Ted Kennedy than Martin King.
m. smith commented:
That one comment will get Al enough money for the next, and that is all he is paid to do. There is more than one idiot in that bag.
Mark commented:
Sharpton is a race pimp and a useless POS.
Ron commented:
The right not to be offended is so very fundamental and important it was codified to in the Code of Hammurabi, the 10 commandments delivered Moses, the Magna Carta. Even the founding fathers enshrined it in the very 1st passage of the constitution. Not being offended is a human right above all others. So can we have Sharpton barred from the airwaves also?
bigL commented:
Jay Rockefeller goes after FOX to take them off the air. and now Sharpton is Alinsky-ing Rush Limbaugh. And the TSa is impeding our movements-lets face it that is what that is all about.
and theelectric car thing isto keep us w/in 50 miles of home. and we don’t know the fate of the chargers-who owns them, are they goingto be on and fully working? Or shut dn-”Stay home peasants!”
and the healthNoCare by obama keeps us in our own Health care panel. Can’t move without permission and only if there is availability there in the new area.
Things are moving fast

Has Al Sharpton paid that lawsuit where he was found accountable for the murder of the small business owner, and the destruction of his business, in the riot that Al Sharpton incited?
No wonder he hates Free Speech – for others!
Bill Mitchell commented:
I’ve listened to Rush for more than 10 years and have never once heard him make a racist comment. Every single time I have heard or read Al Sharpton, I have witnessed him making racist comments.
J commented:
The left’s everything is racist memes don’t bother me anymore, they’re more comical than anything else and don’t really hold any meaning anymore. Essentially they’ve driven accusations of racism to the point of the little boy who cried wolf. They are now meaningless.
I am worried however that they would use racism as a pretense to shut down any speech.
Free speech is universal.
It protects all speech, even offensive speech.
Including hate speech, and racist speech.
No one, has a right to not be offended.
Vic Bailey commented:
Al Sharpton and Al Gore, two of the biggest liars in the whole world, greed and power is all either one want. What they need is to be cell-mates in a Federal Prison, and have Jessie Jackson and
Charlie Rangel in another cell.

LOL we own your sorry butt son. Racism is real and your BOYS use it daily.
We just not playing that game son. Your a relic of another era, when house negros complained of the rules. Rules have changed, No negros, no slaves, no 3/5ths vote.
eat sh#t and die your my equal and get over it. Your no longer a slave nor a victim except to your self. WHAAAAA, whiney ass black man. Make something of yourself like clarence thomas. Not one affirmative action handout. Maybe that is why they feared him so much.
powder ia dry.
Sandy commented:
The shock value of calling Americans racist has now given way to eye crossing boredom as the term continues to be over-used. I love Rush because he makes me see serious things in a humerous way. Obama would like to have the kind of following Rush does. BUT HE DOESN’T and isn’t that what Sharpton’s complaint is really about?
John commented:
Sharpton is a good baiter. In fact, he’s a master.
