Just when you think the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) couldn't veer farther off course, they do. The featured speaker at the upcoming 8th annual HRC National Dinner in Washington, D.C., is none other than the Rev. Al Sharpton, perpetrator of the 1987 Tawana Brawley rape hoax/slander and organizer of demonstrations in 2000 against Freddy's Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned Harlem store that Sharpton denounced as a "white interloper," after which the store was set on fire by an arsonist, killing seven people.
