[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 3019394, member: 7966"] The below is from one site after my first google search which is telling since google pushes all links that are against liberals back a couple of pages. There were a lot of hits ... I just looked at one.

ROTFL[/COLOR] Al Sharpton accused an upstate New York prosecutor, Steven Pagones, of being part of a group of white men who raped teenager Tawana Brawley in 1987. A grand jury found "overwhelming evidence" that the rape allegation had been fabricated. Pagones sued Sharpton for defamation and won a judgment of $65,000. Sharpton reportedly paid the judgment with money raised by his supporters. Sharpton has frequently sparked controversy with his strident language. During a rally in Brooklyn, he called white people "crackers." In 1995, an African-American Pentecostal church in Harlem, New York, asked a Jewish tenant of one of its properties, Freddie's Fashion Mart, to evict a black-run record store that was subletting part of the property. Sharpton showed up outside Freddie's vowing to a crowd: "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business." Two weeks before Christmas that year, Freddie's was attacked by a man in the crowd who shot several customers and then set fire to the building with a flammable liquid, killing seven employees.
