Cartoon-Gate: Al Sharpton Leads Protest at New York Post Headquarters (Video)


The provocative New York Post never apologizes for anything. Yesterday, the Post apologized for the controversial stimulus cartoon featuring a dead chimp.

But it was too little, too late, according to Al Sharpton who led hundreds of protesters outside the New York Post headquarters on Thursday.

Protesters shouted "End Racism" and called for the jailing of Rupert Murdoch.

Sharpton vowed that he'd be back Friday night with Spike Lee and hundreds more protesters.


The Rev. Al Sharpton is leading a boycott against the New York Post and threatening to file a complaint with the FCC against Rupert Murdoch.

If only Kim Gandy was half as effective.
