Al Sharpton promised to lead protests against Madison Square Garden unless Knicks coach Isiah Thomas apologizes for saying whites and blacks should be held to different standards about the use of derogatory language toward women.

Does anyone get tired of Al's constant threat of protest? Is this really a "worthy" thing for a man of his influence to protest? I think Whoopi did a good job calling out Al today...

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Will you do me a favor? Will you ask him to please apologize to the Duke lacrosse players?

JOY BEHAR: Oh

GOLDBERG: Because I looked and looked and looked and I just wanted to make sure, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t speaking out of turn. I wanted to make sure that I was correct. And I know Al that you were down there and you were really trying to look out for the folks that thought were being really be run over, but as it turns out it wasn’t true. And, and I want you to apologize to them because those kids went through Hell and I think we owe it to them.

I found this quote from the Oreilly factor to be funny in hindsight:

O'REILLY: I don't want to try anybody, but there is enough evidence that has surfaced here. We have evidence that DNA doesn't match the kids. We have evidence that ABC News uncovered that there is a recording made by a security guard who looked at the victim after she said she was raped and said there was no problem and we have a police officer who found the victim drunk in a car in a 7-Eleven who phoned it in before she went to the hospital. So when you have three elements like that, I say there is reasonable doubt right now. You know what the grand jury proceeding is.

SHARPTON: Absolutely.

O'REILLY: It's a one-sided proceeding.

SHARPTON: But I think that all of the facts that you have laid out the DA had — and I know this DA is probably not one that is crazy. He would not have proceeded if he did not feel that he could convict. So it tells me that all of what you said is either not true or he has convincing evidence that would certainly knock that out and no one is not letting him proceed. You know, a lot of those community leaders down there, pro and con, wanted a lot of people to come in. I know for a fact asked Jesse Jackson to come, we said we don't want to be (INAUDIBLE)...

I'm thrilled is Al is actually protesting something a black man has said...honestly it will help me with my opinion that he's just a glorified ambulance chaser that hopes a African American is involved. I really didnt take time to read everything but the first line that said he's protesting until Issiah apologizes


Oh and Whoopi's comments were great also
