Breaking News: Al Sharpton is a "race-baiter"
"Don Imus' former producer on Friday called Rev. Al Sharpton a 'race-baiter' who was looking for attention when he led a campaign to fire the radio host, while Sharpton said Imus and his producer got what they deserved for making a racist, sexist remark on the air," reports Yahoo! News.
"McGuirk called Sharpton a 'crude ... opportunist, a race-baiter' who campaigned against Imus to help his own career and raise his profile.
"While McGuirk acknowledged that "these words did hurt these girls," he added, 'until you, Reverend Al, got involved, they probably never would have heard of it. They would have probably never, quote unquote, got scarred for life until you got involved for your own self-serving interests.' ...
"He asked Sharpton. 'Who elected you the PC police chief? Who elected you to anything?'"
