"...TAWANA BRAWLY: 1987. Al Sharpton, during the infamous Tawana Brawley case, falsely accused a former assistant district attorney of raping and sodomizing Ms. Brawley. Young Tawana stated that white racists abducted, raped, and sodomized her, scrawling the initials ?KKK? on her in human feces. A grand jury later found the entire incident a complete hoax. Most likely, Ms. Brawley, afraid of punishment for staying out too late, fabricated the entire story. This did not stop Reverend Al Sharpton, who accused Pagones an assistant district attorney, of the crime. ?We stated openly that Steven Pagones did it. If we?re lying, sue us, so we can go into court with you and prove you did it. Sue us?sue us right now.?
Pagones did. After receiving death threats, and threats against his child, Pagones sued Sharpton and two others for defamation. A jury unanimously concluded that Sharpton defamed Pagones, ordering Sharpton to pay $65,000 to Pagones. The Reverend promptly announced his intention not to pay. A couple years later, Sharpton?s buddies passed the hat and paid off Sharpton?s debt, which totaled $87,000 with interest and penalties. To this day, never having paid one penny of his own to Pagones, Sharpton refuses to apologize, ?I did what I believed?.They are asking me to grovel. They want black children to say they forced a black man coming out of the hard-core ghetto to his knees?.Once you begin bending, it?s ?did you bend today?? or ?I missed the apology, say it again.? Once you start compromising, you lose respect for yourself.?
CENTRAL PARK JOGGER: In 1989 ?the jogger,? a young white woman, was monstrously raped and nearly beaten to death in Central Park. Sharpton insisted?despite the defendants? confessions?that her black attackers were innocent, modern-day Scottsboro Boys trapped in ?a fit of racial hysteria.? Sharpton charged that the jogger?s boyfriend did it, and organized protests outside the courthouse, chanting, ?The boyfriend did it!? and denouncing the victim as ?Whore!? He brought Tawana Brawley to the trial, to show her ?white justice? and arranged for her to meet the attackers. Sharpton appealed for a psychiatrist to examine the victim, generously saying, ?It doesn?t even have to be a black psychiatrist?.We?re not endorsing the damage to the girl?if there was this damage.? (While it doesn?t excuse his calling the victim a ?whore? and denigrating any damage to her, or his accusations against the boyfriend, the convictions of the accused were eventually vacated, despite their taped confessions, after another man?whose DNA matched?confessed to the rape in 2002.)..."
