Al Sharpton Organization Owes $1.5+M in Taxes: Sharptons National Action Network in Trouble?
Al Sharpton, Harlem’s racial community organizer through the National Action Network, Inc. (NAN) allegedly owes “at least” $1,556,059 in FEDERAL TAXES and $108,489 in New York taxes. (Surprise, surprise, surprise! emphasis mine)
Sharpton is an incendiary racial demagogue who is among the most polarizing figures in the nation. He boasts that he stopped Rush Limbaugh from buying a stake in an NFL team and (temporarily) ran Don Imus off the airwaves for racially insensitive marks.
He became a national figure in 1987 by participating in the Tawana Brawley case, a racially charged gang rape hoax. Sharpton falsely accused assistant prosecutor Steve Pagones of participating in the gang rape.

Crazy Grayson Accused of Campaign Finance Violation (Isn’t Karma Wonderful?)
Alan Grayson, the Human embarrassment from Florida may be in for a spot of trouble. The Congressman who gives a good name to a bull in a china shop, made himself famous with really nasty comments about people, he said of former Vice President Dick Cheney: “I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking,” he also called Fox News the enemy of America, a female adviser to the Federal Reserve chairman “a K Street whore,” and he speculated that gasoline would only cost a dollar per gallon if former President George W. Bush had let Saudi Prince Abdullah “get to second base” All that is just a small sample of his putrid venom.
The congressman, who is often confused with Shamu the whale, may have some nastiness thrown his own way. According to CQ Politics, election regulators are investigating Grayson for botching the disclosure language on a recent fund raising appeal.
Grayson is accused in a complaint filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission of breaking federal campaign finance laws earlier this week when his campaign solicited prohibited corporate campaign contributions on behalf of a Florida political candidate, Scott Maddox.
Thanks for this lovely link-love. I really appreciate it!
