    Sharpton should be fired from his radio show!
    Sharpton Criticized for 'Bigoted' Comment Aimed at Romney



    This headline was changed to reflect that Al Sharpton did not apologize for his remark.



    A month ago, it was the Rev. Al Sharpton who led the charge to have radio-host Don Imus fired. Now it's Sharpton who is under fire, but this time because of a comment he made about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. During a debate on religion and politics at the New York Public Library with atheist author Christopher Hitchens, Sharpton said, "As for the one Mormon running for office, those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway, so don't worry about that. That's a temporary situation." While campaigning in Iowa, Romney was asked whether Sharpton was a bigot. Romney responded by describing Sharpton's comment as a potentially bigoted remark, but that Sharpton probably didn't mean anything by it. According to a written statement by Sharpton, his remarks were taken out of context and that he was responding to an attack by Hitchens, who, he said, had charged that the Mormon Church supported segregation until the 1960s.
