Sharpton: Pirates really a "voluntary Coast Guard"

Via Powerline’s John Hinderaker, who calls this “beyond parody”. Oh, come on, John. I mean, our own Coast Guard routinely steals ships, shoots crew members, and demands millions in ransoms, right? Right? …

John’s right. You can’t make this stuff up. This man stood on the dais in Democratic Presidential debates in 2003-4. How many other Democrats want to make reference to “so-called pirates”? Arrrrrr.
