The Rev. Al Sharpton's charity is supported by some heavyweight corporations even though it is being investigated by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn.


According to the New York Post, Sharpton's National Action Network (NAN) annual conference in April was sponsored by nearly 50 companies, including PepsiCo, General Motors, Chrysler, Wal-Mart, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase.

I for one wish some company would stand up and say no to a shakedown like this. I hear Jessee Jackson uses the same tactics. Companies 'give' money to avoid the controversy that would follow. A bunch of scam artists who can't hold a real job.

Meanwhile they preach hate and condemn America in their church and did we hear from Al Sharpton to condemn this church....guess not....he rather sticks his head in the sand and gets it out when Imus said something or another white person...all these double standards.....
