How does he do that? ------------------------------------------- I am sure he receives a good salary for his MSNBC gig and is probably careful to pay his taxes now, based on previous run ins with the IRS. But, he's also a one man church with an "official" ordination and title as a "Reverend" which he received when he was 9 years old. Games can be played with such credentials. As a gag on a friend of mine, I sent $70 to an Internet based "ministry" several years ago for their deluxe ordination package. I received all the legal paperwork and "official" title of being a minister and member of the clergy. Much to my surprise, it permits me to conduct legal weddings (as long as I registered with my home state ... which I never did) and many other church related "services". It also allows me (if so motivated) to declare a tax-free status for many activities I might engage in under the guise of them being part of my "ministry" or church. Obviously, I've never even thought of trying anything like that and I certainly don't consider myself a "Reverend" or minister. Don't give Krause any ideas. It's probably too late though. The wheels in his head are probably already turning. |

Sometimes it is hard to take some of your comments seriously Harry because you are so adamantly opposed to anything other than the liberal way. Thinking Cheney is trash is hardly "liberal."

I just did that. Turns out he's cleaner than I thought. Don't care for him much, as he's a "race man." Not into that. And he's too loud. But I see only misdemeanor convictions related to protests.

Too uppity? ------------------------------------------ No, not too "uppity". I think he's a phony and a racist who uses his credentials as a "Reverend" to influence and persuade people in political matters. He was ordained as a child as a Pentecostal minister. The type of "ordination" he received in this faith is not main stream Christianity unless you believe in speaking in tongues and the ability to heal the sick and raise the dead. It's not based on any formal education in theology. Sharpton attended college but dropped out after two years. I watch his show "Politics Nation" from time to time mainly because he can be quite funny sometimes. But usually I have to switch off to the History Channel or Discovery Channel after a while because he starts to get under my skin with some of his biased comments. I thought it was interesting that in a recent advertisement for MSNBC, the "Reverend" recites part of the Pledge of Allegiance, purposely leaving out the "under God" part. Thought that was interesting for someone who claims to be a minister in a Christian faith. But, that's just me. The pledge was written by a socialist minister and then spoken for many years without the "under god" bull****. That phrase wasn't said during my grammar school days in New Haven, either, when in 1954 Congress moronically worked those two words into the pledge. In fact, by 1957, the pledge was dropped from recitation entirely in junior high because of those two words, which many, even those who claimed to be religious, found offensive for any number of reasons. We didn't have "school prayer," either, for the same reasons. |

While I agree that Sharpton is a phony and a hack, he is no more that than say, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, or Hannity. He makes his money the same way they do. |

I did, and I've never declared a tax-free activity. |

Al hosts a weeknight show on MSNBC and earns more doing that than you ever did as a bankster facilitator in the IT department. I watch Al about once a week. He is the sharpest dresser on TV, I think. |
