I see the Vanilla Ice Al Sharpton is involved in another controversy.
The Rev. Dr. Michael L. Pfleger, proud padishah of the biggest cult of personality in the Windy City, threatened a local gun owner. Reading it in full context, I'm not remotely convinced it's a death threat, unless his messiah complex has developed to the point of putting the Illinois legislature to the sword. Possible, but not very likely.
Perhaps the most disheartening thing is that he does a lot of good work in a rough area. But it could easily be done without the trappings of demigodhood.
Good luck on that letter writing campaign. When the Rev. Dr. can host Louis Farrakhan without consequences, I'm putting my money on your letter getting the "we'll call you" treatment.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
