How Hard Was It for Al Sharpton to Say ‘Sigourney Weaver’ and ‘Fran Drescher’ on Monday? This Hard

Feb. 5, 2013 9:37am Mike Opelka

Before we get to Al Sharpton, first a little background.

The NRA is coming under fire (gun reference intended) for publishing a list of famous people and certain groups that they say do not support the Second Amendment. The list was posted on the Internet last fall, but after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary, the list has become the focus of many in the media. The left-leaning The Daily Beast chose to mock it with a video parodying the celebrities on the NRA’s list.

However, the Daily Beast was not alone in pointing out the NRA’s list. Huff Po’s Alan Colmes published a story last Friday, asking the NRA to add him to the list. Think Progress (a Soros-Sponsored group) also mocked the list. The Daily Kos piled on, too. And on Monday, MSNBC’s finally joined the parade.

The NRA list made it to a few of the network’s shows, but the when Al Sharpton brought up the four month old list, he had a little trouble pronouncing some of the names — specifically, Fran Drescher and Sigourney Weaver. (In Sharpton-speak, Drescher becomes Dry-sure, and Sigourney is Cig-uh-noy.)

The part of the story that I thought was funny was that Alan Colmes wanted the NRA to add him to the list of “famous people”. Just how famous does he think he is? Most people would have no idea who he is!

Give Al a break. It’s hard for a silverback to speak proper English.

I can’t believe this ignoramus has an audience. Does anyone know how much this dolt gets paid? MSMBC is such a joke–but they helped get the DEVIL’S SPAWN re-elected. Just a shocking shame we have people in our country with such little knowledge that have the opportunity to help destroy it!!!

MSNBC is the gift that keeps on giving the whole year, like the jelly of the month club.

That being said, if you pay Time Warner or Comcast for your cable, your paying Al Sharpton’s salary.

Cancel your cable, and go streaming!

I so need a copy of that list so I can further throw out movies and DVD’s that I will no longer watch! I can eliminate, ALiens, Happy days, any Stallone movie, never liked MacGyver, Brittany Spears-yuk!, sure hate it for Star Wars, Star Trek, Chaka Khan well she hasn’t been heard from since the early ’80′s so no loss there. Ha, get to throw out my wife’s Bon Jovi cd’s that will be great! Well 2 of my favorite actors will no longer get supported by my little it of movie money, by Kevin Costner and Sean Connery. I knew Matt Damon was an idiot, guess I can’t watch NCIS anymore either, I’m gonna get a lot of reading done. Can’t believe Dennis Leary and Dennis Quaid are on the list, smh! No wonder the teams in Kansas City and St Louis suck, their players are disarmed!

If they had a black name such as LaQuina, Lashawna, LaTwina, Or Female’, he’d have it down pat!
If you listen closely to radio or tv, you can tell immediate which race is discussed. The names are a dead give away. Only the educated know how to name their children responsibly. And no, I’m not raciest, I’m truthful. One of my best friends is black and her name is Delores. This speaks volumes.

Our country is going broke raising illegit. children. It’s no wonder welfare is “out of sight” and Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson support it and Obama. What the heck do you expect.

I rec’d an email a few days ago about a young black man in Alabama who is 25 and has nine children. He’s collecting more then a million a year from “our government” to support these children because he can’t! Do I need to say more, or do you understand why the USA is broke?
