Sharpton to Bill Clinton: 'Shut Up'
January 28, 2008 2:32 PM

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: Rev. Al Sharpton on Monday weighed in on the raging debate inside the Democratic Party over former President Bill Clinton's advocacy on behalf of his wife's campaign, with two choice words for the former president: "Shut up."

On ABC's "The View," Sharpton said voters are hearing "race charges, race-tinged rhetoric" in the Democratic primary campaign, and called on the former president to cease.

"I think it's time for him to just be quiet," said Sharpton, who was a Democratic presidential candidate in 2004. "I think it's time for him to stop. As one of the most outspoken people in America, there's a time to shut up, and I think that time has come."

1. Seems pretty straightforward

2. Some of us have no forgiven Sharpton for Tawana Brawley

Excuse me if I'm not impressed.

7. Or for Bloomberg.

10. Yeah, but nothing impresses you.

Except for yourself, and your long list of accomplishments, and awards or whatever. :boring:

19. LOL!!!

:rofl:

20. ..

;)

I enjoy reading her threads constantly espousing that she really, really, doesn't like black people.

[Catherine Vincent]

3. I like Sharpton but he has no room to tell someone to "shut up".

4. Regardless of sharpton, i'd like to tell Bill to shut up too.

I'd like to remember the good things about him, not the nastiness he's been saying lately.

5. LOL

Sharpton telling somebody else to shut up about race.

Fucking hilarious.

6. Been using "Sharptonizing" here for some time. Thanks rev for a GOP Mayor!

What can I say? The guy paid by Roger Stone ( sleeze-GOP) to siphon black support from Clark in SC - never disappoints!

8. lock AS and BC in a small room

And leave them there until December.

With food and water, of course ;)

11. Sharpton should take some of his own advice

And shut up himself. One could argue that Sharpton is more outspoken than Bill.

[EffieBlack]

16. I love it how folks complain about Al Sharpton talking too much . . .

and then stick a microphone in his face whenever they want a comment about any issue related to black people.

[citizen snips]

12. Al Sharpton is irrelevant.

He should take some of his own advice

[Raine]

13. I can't stand "charleton" but

this time I think he's right.

[ErnestoG]

14. Sharpton speaks the truth

Bill Clinton is in the unenviable position of taking large chunks out of his hard fight reputation every time he opens his mouth in this election cycle. He needs to enjoy his retirement and let his wife handle it.

[Captain Hilts]

15. Sharpton is a liar, a racist and a charleton and he should keep his mouth shut.

[R_M]

17. He should talk.

Sharpton is one of the biggest racists one can find.

[BigDDem]

18. Is that what he told Tawana Brawley?

[gulliver]

21. There's Hillary's break. Let's see if she uses it. n/t

22. I hope he endorses Obama too
