Sharpton On Bill Clinton: "It's Time For Him To Just Be Quiet"

Al Sharpton told the ladies of "The View" today that he thinks it's time for President Clinton to stop injecting race into the presidential campaign.

"I think that it's time for him to just be quiet. I think it's time for him to stop. As one of the most outspoken people in America, there is a time to shut up. And I think that time has come."

Watch:

Reverend Al told the ladies of "The View" today that there comes a time for everyone to shut up, and that this is Bill Clinton's now. http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1391584907http://www.brightcove.com/channel.jsp?channel=1178199204

Talking about someone who's stuck in the 60's. Al, Shut you mouth you moron. You will make it an issue between black and white if you speak up for Obama. Obama can speak up for himself without you ruining it for him.

You and Jesse Jackson should shut it! You are part of the old politics Obama wants to shun.

[Tankan]

Stop rocking the boat Bill!

Another one of your torpedoes and the SS Establishment is bound for Davy Jones locker!

If Sharpton is trying to earn points with people like Arianna, by critizicing Clinton, he surely has succeeded.

Far be it from my to climb on any wagon train led by Al Sharpton, but I'm on board with this idea.

Dear Mr Sharpton - Please stick to your business, which is the Imuses of the world. You understand and can deal with bigotry very well given you subscribe to it.
Please keep smart people like Bill Clinton off your topics list.

Totally agree with Zhonni.
I believe it is time for Al Sharpton to "SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Between Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, it is a toss-up as to who has the "STUPIDEST, RACIST MOUTH" !!

[AnninCA]

Bill did his job. Hee put his legacy out on the line for Hillary.

He'll go to Kansas.

But not becaus he said one singe word that was racist or unfair.

ONLY....be­cause he need for someoe to stand up to this race crud is over.

Onto Super tuesday'`

LOL

[Ides]

He knows what side his bread is buttered on. Too late, chump.

[lexicoscott]

lol, yeah right when the dust settles and Clinton already said her hubby was going to tone it down (in so many words), Sharpton pops right back up and blamo. What an opportunist. Very silly. Let Obama win on his own you old bat. Don't make me lose respect for ya.

[Independent voter]

Too late for that Al. The rat's already out of the bag. Did you like the watermelon postcard?

[letitgo]

Why wasn't this pompous jerk and his ilk at the gates of Duke University when the three white boys were absolved of rape? Talk about race baiters - the chickens are definitely coming home to roost.

[Zhonni]

I think Mr Sharpton ought to shot up!!!

South Carolina has passed, people have rebuked Bill and I am sure he will make corrections.

He is coming out a tad too late. If he had said it before SC, it might have been ok. I don't know who he is speaking for, but I am guessing he is talking on behalf of a little bit of attention.

Sen. Clyburn can't get all the attention now, he kind of stepped into Sharpton's self elected position.

[ClaudiaJean]

Um, POT? Yes, this is the KETTLE speaking. You're black.
