Most folks already know this, but Al Sharpton is a, blackmailing, extorting, shakedown artist. He threatens and boycotts and protests big companies until they give him money. He uses race and his black followers to extort money from companies, or risk his wrath. Check out this research from the NY Post. They dug this up in June, and Sharpton has been after them ever since.

Anheuser-Busch gave him six figures, Colgate-Palmolive shelled out $50,000 and Macy’s and Pfizer have contributed thousands to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s charity.

Almost 50 companies - including PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal-Mart, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase - and some labor unions sponsored Sharpton’s National Action Network annual conference in April.

Terrified of negative publicity, fearful of a consumer boycott or eager to make nice with the civil-rights activist, CEOs write checks, critics say, to NAN and Sharpton - who brandishes the buying power of African-American consumers. In some cases, they hire him as a consultant.

The rest of the story is shocking and has a cool pic detailing his blackmail. Check it out here.
