Ask Al Sharpton To Reconsider Sean Hannity's Participation In Martin Luther King Commemoration
Reported by Ellen - March 16, 2008

Sean Hannity is scheduled to participate in the National Action Network’s (Rev. Al Sharpton is the president) convention honoring the 40th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, on April 4th. As we have repeatedly demonstrated, Hannity has a dubious, at best, record on issues relating to civil rights. In fact, for the last three years, he has "commemorated" the federal holiday recognizing Martin Luther King by attacking an African American and accusing them of racism. Now Hannity is doing his best to undermine the candidacy of the first African American to run for president not by debating him on the issues about which most Americans care but by smearing Barack Obama as an anti-American racist, based on the beliefs of his pastor. For those reasons and others outlined after the jump, I believe that Hannity has no place in any commemoration of Dr. King.

I had to make sure this was real. I found out it is (also found out either the site's been hacked or whoever codes the NAN site needs some serious training). Check the decription for the event.
