Aren’t they major civil rights leaders? I’m not understanding the outrage this morning.

OK, further explanation.

On the right “Sharpton and Jackson” became a shorthand for “blacks are race-baiters”. Whether you like it or not. Go to any right-wing site, any race-related story with blacks, you will likely see them mentioned. It’s a stable meme, so don’t be surprised about the reaction of people who are well-informed enough to know this meme.
