    While Sharpton is an opportunist scumbag, using the NY Post as a source really doesn't provide any credibility to the story.

    I really have no idea... I wouldn't put it past him, but until something like this is written by a non-tabloid paper, no one can really say if it's true.

    I simply cannot stand this man. He has probably done more to hurt race relations than almost anyone else in recent memory.
