WTF was that… Unless prior arrangement was made I hope that he sues the pants off of MSNBC for using his name to promote their liberal spew…  there is little doubt about the connection in that ad..  Personally I would think that he may be offended that Reverend Al makes any association between his program and Mr. Lin.

“LIN-ough Already”  That is funny.

“LIN-ough Already”  That is funny. But leave the kid alone. Jeremy Lin is the best thing that the NBA can offer during a bitter strike shortened season in which the largest basketball market in the world is basically flat. Why weren’t you this vocal and displeased when Tim Teabow’s face was everywhere just a few weeks ago. Besides, the Knicks’ season will be all over and done once March Madness starts and nobody’s paying attention to them again. So, just ride with it. 

I would say without counting that this fool Sharpton was able to pronounce
maybe 30% of the words in that piece correctly!

 ”BUT RESIST WE MUCH, WE MUST, AND WE WILL MUCH, ABOUT THAT, BE COMMITTED…”

MSNBC certainly isn’t Linning the ratings competition.

You couldn’t be any more Lin if it was the Lin-iest day of your life and you were hooked up to some sort of electronic Lin-ification machine.

As if LEAN FORWARD is not DUMB ENOUGH!!!
You can’t make it up!

Lin can be thankful none of his friends or family were slaughtered by Tawana’s congregation at the race riots the mail-order reverend staged in Crown Heights and Harlem.

NBC rewarded the “reverend” with blood on his hands a host spot on their Media Matters outlet.

But there’s no bias in the media – FOOLS!

 Lean Forward == MoveOn Forward

Like everyone, I’ve watched the highlights. Lin has always been able to play in the NBA; he just wasn’t a fit with the Warriors, or any team other than the Knicks. But the Knicks offered him two opportunities: the chance to play a different (for the Knicks) more Steve Nash-like approach at point guard, & a lot more of the ball – given that Carmello’s been injured. 

Thing is, while it’s taken the NBA by surprise, it’s only a SLIVER of the NBA the Knicks have played since starting Lin (& not a strong sliver at that), & the NBA is all about adjustment: even those opposing teams Lin has been beating & even embarrassing now are going to adjust, if & when they face him again. Plus ‘Mello is going to come back – which is going to take the ball out of Lin’s hands & possibly turn the Knicks back into what they were: a crappy predictable loser.

I doubt Lin will ever have a run like this again. That doesn’t mean Lin shouldn’t be starting for the Knicks (I’m sure he’s better than Baron Davis at this point.), or even that they wouldn’t be smart to re-structure the team around Lin – but they’d have to do something about ‘Mello: move ‘Mello or ‘Mello has to agree to adjust & in fact adjust. That COULD happen – it did a few years back in Boston when that team brought in two nominally ‘selfish’ established stars on other teams & at the same time got lucky enough to have also brought in a gifted point guard. But it seems pretty obvious that what the Knicks coach did here is have Lin & the team sans ‘Mello agree to pretend to be the Phoenix Suns for a while; not surprisingly, the Knicks coach also previously coached the Suns when they probably should have won a championship. 

Don’t worry too much about it,

Linsanity…. media has made me reach my LINmit. Stop it. Nice story but enough.
Don’t make people hate him. 

Not sure that covers it, but you may be right, they are probably astute enough to see a problem if they do not have his permission, I just couldn’t resist an opportunity to go off on Rev Al… don’t really care for he and his psst.

Considering Sharpton has such great rapport with the Asian community who is really surprised that Sharpton is a fan of Lin?  Who cares that he organized boycotts against Korean grocery stores because of their alleged racism?  Boycotts and mobs against people of different races and religions is considered leaning forward and bringing people together at PMSNBC.

I don’t mind Al, he’s like a liberal Rush (I never agree with Rush but I like hearing what he has to say). Both have interest things to say, both have distinctive voices, & both are stereotypical caricatures of their respective ideologies. Ask a conservative what a typical liberal would be like & they’ll say Rev Al & if you ask a liberal what a typical conservative would be like & they’ll say Rush.

Lin, unlike Rev. Al, did non have pie on his face.

Lin, unlike Rev Al, did NOT have pie on his face. Sorry.

 This guys got blood on his hands from the Crown Heights and Freddie’s Race riots he fomented; and NBC gives him a host spot.

Shows you the s-um there at NBC.

LIN FORWARD POINT GUARD

So… F’ing…… Lame.   There was also a hilarious piece in the L.A. times today telling us all about the great fame  of Ed Schultz.

How could you compare Rush Limbaugh with Slick Al Sharpton, Rush is simply a speaker for the right while Sharpton makes money inciting the poor blacks with his rhetorical comments.
I would love to hear Louis Farracan debate the black issue with Al Sharpton.
Farracan may be a racist but he does tell the blacks to stand up on their own feet and stop depending on hand outs from whites while Sharpton is telling them to get as much as you can from whites, they owe you.

If it weren’t for the recently retired Chinese basketball star and now Lin, the NBA would fold like a paper airplane.  China is pouring allot of money into the NBA and although Lin is showing he is an excellent player the NBA is praising him just to keep the money from China pouring in.

If you study Sharpton’s past community involvement there is no denying that he has been self-serving while destroying innocent lives..  That is my problem with him there have been significant moments where he simply stirred the racial pot, disrupted communities and lives for personal gain…  

Actually having his show keeps him out of trouble, we can take him for like you said, someone like Rush…  BTW I can’t stand Rush either…  I cannot take his constantly telling his audience how smart he is…  but that is part of his show I guess, I really don’t know as I have not heard his program in years, but I doubt that he has changed much.  

The key is to not take either one of them seriously.

I would tell you but your political bias won’t allow you to understand.

Ol’ Rev. Al would be singing a far different tune if non-black Jeremy Lin did NOT play for Al’s New York Knicks.

Politics have nothing to do with my comment Hamster, but my views on criminal activities have everything to do with what I wrote.
