Would you find it anything but insulting to be compared to someone you thought was an immoral fraud?

I see him as frustrated and angry...and a rabid defender of what he considers an appropriate response to white on black atrocities for a very long time.
Examine Sharpton's history and specifically:
The Crown Heights Riots
Freddie's Fashion Mart
Dunbar Village
Tawana Brawley
Here's a few of his words of wisdom:
"If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house".
"White folks was in caves while we was building empires.... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it."
"As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation."
As we learned this year, Sharpton was an FBI informant. Now you may choose to believe that he was simply a very courageous concerned citizen who volunteered to place himself in great peril to obtain evidence for federal prosecution of Mafia figures, but most folks in law enforcement believe it far more likely that he was caught by the feds in some illegal activity and "flipped," as a way to avoid jail.

In 2004 he was ordered by the FEC to repay $100,000 in public matching funds he received during his run for the presidency.
In 2009 he was fined $285,000 by the FEC due to campaign financing irregularities associated with his
The list goes on, and it's out there if you wish to examine it.
