Hes been a prolific tax cheat and all the while he has been, of course, a very famous racial demagogue. he is not attacked by any of this and, somehow, sharpton has become a moral hero to the left. president obama did that, inviting him to the white house more than 50 times as a domestic policy advisor. effect? democratic presidential candidates line up to praise al sharpton. he gets to deserve sermons on msnbc. but, thankfully, is he not entirely invulnerable. sharpton testified before the cong...

Implicitly defended him no matter what he wanted and is it the same thing that attracted donald trump over the years? >> joe mccarthy was kind of an empty vessel. he wasnt really the sharpest tool in the drawer and i think and i think he needed someone to manipulate and tell him what to say. the iconic footage of cohn is him whispering in the ear of mccarthy in the senate subcommittee and kind of leading him into these persecuting questionings of usually innocent witnesses. he was a demagogue wh...
