Al Sharpton To CNN’s Don Lemon: Leave Bobby Brown Alone

video
» 19 comments

CNN’s Don Lemon spoke with the Rev. Al Sharpton about Whitney Houston‘s funeral and the touchy subject of Bobby Brown leaving after getting into an argument with Houston’s family. “One moment that was seen around the world during the service when it first started, we saw Bobby out here standing upset. He left. What happened inside?” Lemon asked.

“I talked to Bobby; Bobby did nothing but show love and respect for the memory of Whitney and his Daughter,” Sharpton responded. “And Bishop Jason, I spoke with him on the cell phone. He has shown nothing but love and respect. I wish people would leave Bobby alone.”

“But we just heard his entourage couldn’t be accommodated,” Lemon interjected.

“I don’t know nothing about that,” Sharpton replied. “I know that Bobby when he spoke to Bishop Jason and I, that all he wanted to do was show respect and love.”

    Dude, Where my car is ? How’s he supposed to get to the fashion mart?

    “Al Sharpton, no match for the Port Authority. The MSNBC talking head and possible NYPD spying subject got his SUV impounded at La Guardia last night. Well, not his SUV, Sharpton Media’s SUV. The reverend can’t drive.

    The story unfolded yesterday afternoon when Port Authority police noticed a 2008 Lincoln Navigator outside the Delta and US Airways terminal illegally waiting in a “no standing” zone. When they went to talk to the driver, it was quickly revealed that the car had a suspended registration “due to lack of insurance.”
    According to the Post’s sources Sharpton then showed up and “raised holy hell over the situation,”

    “Al Sharpton To CNN’s Don Lemon: Leave Bobby Brown Alone”

    One filthy scumbag (Sharpton) sticking up for another filthy scumbag (Brown)
    How laughably predictable.

    I hope you know, Mr Sharpton (you probably don’t because you’re incredibly stupid and a disgusting typical “liberal” POS… or you simply don’t care) that the road to Houston’s destruction was paved by Brown.

    But then again, I guess it would only be natural that the proud DNC slave known as Sharpton would run to Brown’s defense. Like Brown, when he turned Houston onto drugs with words of encouragement. Most likely saying something around the lines of “It’s OK, baby. You’ll like this stuff. It will make you feel good! I promise.”  Sharpton would use words like  “Whose streets? Our streets!” and “No justice, no peace!” Which did nothing but fuel the craziness known as the Crown Heights Riot. As a result of Sharpton’s contribution of pure stupidity to an already stupid situation, a student was then stabbed to death my a mob of crazed animals who’ve been reported to be yelling ” kill the Jew!”.

    Sharpton and Brown, and the”people” who are like them and look up to them, are truly the rotten scum of the Earth.
    Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the same folks who support Sharpton and Brown are also on Team Breezy.

     Quick correction: Sharpton didn’t say “Bishop Jason”. He said “Bishop (TD) Jakes”.

    You act like you know these people personally! You know nothing about any one of them! You don’t know who introduced whom to drugs and why should you care! It’s not you! You just make sure you are not a scumbag like you so quickly judge others to be!! Oh wait… too late you already sound like one of the “rotten scum of the Earth” people you so readily speak of!!1

    rather then just call “Rev” Al Sharpton names I thought I’d provide some perspective on why he is so widely despised by the clear-thinking.

    So nice to see that they invited some of the nation’s most prolific race baiters to the funeral.

     Some folks need to take heed of their own screen names.

    Who would ever have thought Soros toolbox, Sharpton would be on the same page as Satan’s sandbox, Brown?
    ME
    Brown must feel comforted in being defended by a fellow race-baiter whose IQ matches his shoe size.
    But resist, we MUCH – we must and we will much about that be committed
    LOL!!

    All of you sound like you hafta say something and all you can come up with is the kind of “BS” here.None of u guys ever reply to the topic but just throw your “BS” at each other occasionally mentioning whomever.Give us who read the topics a break & stay on it,won’t you.I think Whitneys funeral (memorial) was well done & the family showed respect inviting Bobby but I think he was wrong not applying to the family’s wishes of 3 & instead as many as he brought. My thoughts is that Bobby started Whitney on drugs but she went wrong by becoming” hooked”. She failed her daughter letting her use drugs too & knowing her problems — that isn’t what a caring mother would do. Meaning;”don’t do as I do but as I say!”

    It is sad when people only have what the news reports as facts. It is sad that a teenager lost their mother. Also when Bobby and Whitney got together, Bobby was a bad boy because he acted out sexually with fans. He was a Grammy winner as well. They had something in common that drew them together. Also Bobby Brown brought his children to the funeral who saw Whitney as their step-mother, they should have been up front next to their sister. Rather we like it or not they were married for 15 years. that is 30 years in Hollywood years. I do agree Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson were there for their own gain. We all have things we deal with that is not good for us, we are blessed to have another day to get it right.
