The AP reported today that Al Sharpton is thinking of running for President. It referred to him as a "civil rights activist." To which Tim Graham responded:
It may be an antique complaint, but in what year are the AP and the New York Times and other supposed paragons of objectivity going to stop describing Al “Pin Their Yarmulkes Back” Sharpton favorably as a “civil rights activist”? (Or is this just their knee-jerk terminology for “black activist”?) Sharpton had no respect for the civil rights of the victims of “civil rights activism” from Tawana Brawley forward. Remember here.
