Description: Reverend Al Sharpton takes on LA County Sheriff Lee Baca in this fight scene. Al is an is an American Baptist minister and political, civil rights, and social justice activist. In 2004, Sharpton was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U. S. presidential election. Sharpton makes regular appearances on many talk shows, in particular The O'Reilly Factor and those on MSNBC. He also hosts his own radio talk show. Sharpton called for the firing of radio host Don Imus. On his morning radio show, Imus in the Morning, the host had referred to the women's basketball team at Rutgers University as "nappy-headed hoes." On April 9, Imus appeared on Sharpton's radio show. Again, Sharpton indicated that Imus should be fired, asking Imus if he was ready to sign his resignation. The following morning, Imus and Sharpton went head to head once again on NBC's Today Show. On April 11, MSNBC dropped its simulcast of the show. On April 12, Imus was fired by CBS, effective immediately. Some, including The Kansas City Star journalist Jason Whitlock, have criticized Sharpton for using the situation "to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda" when he should instead be focusing on other issues like the effects of hip-hop culture such as gangsta rap. [54] Whitlock further accused Sharpton and Jesse Jackson of "exploiting [the Rutger's women's basketball team], making the problems much bigger than what they should be." Sharpton has received death threats from angry fans of Don Imus' show, causing him to increase personal security. Former Imus in the Morning producer Bernard McGuirk, on 5/11/07 referred to the Rev. Sharpton as a "crude ... opportunist, a race baiter" who campaigned against Don Imus to help his own career and raise his profile.
