Rosenbaum Offers Support to Limbaugh

Norman Rosenbaum

Melbourne, Australia — VIN News has learned, Prof. Norman Rosenbaum of Melbourne, Australia has reached out to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh to offer assistance in the ongoing war of words , which Sharpton alleges that Limbaugh “erroneously” characterizes his (Sharpton’s) role in a string of violent incidents in New York in the early 90’s.

Rosenbaum, VIN readers will remember, is the crusading brother of Yankel Rosenbaum, who was murdered by black teen rioter Lemrick Nelson on the first night of the Crown Heights pogrom. Nelson was acquitted by an all-black jury despite airtight and incontrovertible evidence.

Rosenbaum is sending Limbaugh a copy of the Girgenti Report, which clearly lists Sharpton’s criminal and inciteful actions during and after the pogrom. The Report is named after its author, former New York government official Richard Girgenti, whose report many felt didn’t go far enough in condemning Sharpton.
