O'Reilly Factor - Sharpton Responds to Imus Analysis

On Tuesday's Factor FNC media analyst Bernard Goldberg contended that Don Imus should not be judged by "race hustlers" like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who ignore the "real problems that plague black America." Sharpton entered the No Spin Zone Wednesday with his response. "To act as though the black community should not be concerned with how their young women are being portrayed is ridiculous. We deal with many issues, and one is the use of race language." The Factor challenged Sharpton to extend his outrage to record companies and rappers. "Are you now going to hold Ludacris and Snoop Dogg accountable? Step it up, go after the companies that hire them and something good might come out of this." Sharpton vowed that his crusade against Imus is just the beginning. "After getting rid of Mr. Imus, we need to look at the corporations that own record companies and radio stations. We're going to go after anybody that uses the 'ho' and 'b' words. Imus may be the beginning of a long walk."

Oh great, with a comment like that, it doesn't look like Sharpton will be keeping a low profile...
