49. Here is some information on the case
It's obvious that many here are unaware of Sharpton's role in this case. Here is a quick summary:

http://www.cnn.com/US/9807/13/brawley.verdict.02/

No one is complaining that he believed a "rape victim." There was no rape. Before it was discovered that Brawley's story was a hoax, lots of people believed her, including me. What Sharpton did was to blame an innocent man, Nick Pagones, and continue to defame him long after the story had been shown to be a hoax. To this day he has never apologized to Mr. Pagones.
