Todd Schnitt is calling for MSNBC to fire Al Sharpton

(Schnittshow.com) Nationally syndicated radio host Todd Schnitt is calling for MSNBC to fire their host, the Rev. Al Sharpton, for his attempt at inciting violence. Schnitt has called for Sharpton's arrest if riots occur.
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Sharpton is calling for an escalation in civil disobedience against the city of Sanford if George Zimmerman is not arrested.

Keep on doing what you're doing, reverend, and NEVER apologize to these cretins when you have right on your side.

Just another example of irrational public statements from the RW
in an attempt to shut down any attempt to get GZ charged for
murder.

I have seen much more than the usual number of black people locally wearing hoodies, and it is really quite warm here, it will hit 90 in a few days... This is not something anyone is doing to keep warm here. I drive through Eatonville every day. I only go to Sanford once in a while, but I will bet it is heating up. There are lots more reasons than Trayvon for folks to be irritated in Sanford. Portions of that town are and have been economically depressed for decades. This may have lit the fuse for something really ugly.

He's famous for a frozen turkey frying stunt that destroyed a van and resulted in back injuries to a firefighter. That alone kind of tells me what kind of 'personality' Schnitt is and how much attention he deserves, lol.

Here is the article in the Tampa Bay Times about the frozen turkey and the other turkey Schnitt:

Fire officials baffled by inaction of state attorney in Tampa turkey-frying case

Sharpton has been clear on three points. First, there CANNOT be any violence. Sharpton called out the black panthers on his show for putting a bounty on Zimmerman. Second, the circumstances of Trayvon Martin's death were not properly investigated by Sanford police and that all information released by police favored Zimmerman. Third, an external investigation of Martin's killing and the Sanford police was required to get to the truth, where ever the truth leads.

Anyone saying that Sharpton is inciting violence is a blowheart and moron. Sharpton has not, is not and doesn't seem to be intrested in violence.

Fire Rush, Hannity, Ingraham, Levin, Weiner Savage, and Boortz who have actually done as Schnitt has claimed, first.

Also on comments from right wingers.

Amazing how they don't have any ideas of their own; they just march in lockstep with the latest talking point from their masters. This week, it's fire Al Sharpton.

I was thinking he deserves a raise in pay.

He fought the fight in Sanford with the heavy heart of his mother passing.

Justice isn't always neat and tidy, but folks will not stop until justice is served. It really is quite simple.

If Zimmerman walks free, the elevated tension level is something that will not fade away and it will not just reside in Sanford.
