Most recently, the Rev. Al Sharpton, a two-time Democratic presidential
candidate, charged that a star white athlete never would have been prosecuted
for the same crime.

If the police caught Brett Favre (a white quarterback for the Green Bay
Packers) running a dolphin-fighting unit out of his pool, where dolphins with
spears attached to their foreheads fought each other, would they bust him? Of
course not," Sharpton wrote Tuesday on his personal blog.
They would get his autograph, commend him on his tightly spiraled
forward passes, then bet on one of his dolphins.
Pretty inflamatory huh?
And of course....we can't forget Miss South Carolina in the "Miss Teen USA Contest". Here's the Youtube of the event...Turns out that Sharpton quote, allegedly from his "personal blog",
actually came from the parody
site News/Groper. Who would have ever guessed?
The editor of the site, terribly impressed with MSNBC's investigative
skills as you might imagine, wonders which one of these clues finally tipped
them off:
1. The words "fake parody blogs" in the titlebar of every page of our
site
2. Our logo
3. Al Sharpton blogging on the same site as Lindsay Lohan, George
Bushand Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
4. Our about page www.newsgroper.com/about/
5. Al Sharpton referring to himself in his bio as an
"EmancipationProclamation enthusiast"
, try to determine if you're torn between sympathy for the poor girl or disgust at her shallowness, or perhaps you're appalled at the ignorance. By the way, that's her, Caitlin Upton on the right in this picture....(note: she's only 17?!?!?!?!)
