According to Jax (in our FAQ thread)...

There's no way to embed an external image in posts yet. I'm a bit afraid of people breaking tables. I do have a way for people to embed Plime uploaded images into the page, but that might take a little while to perfect. For now linking to the images should be a good temporary way to share them.

Al Sharpton (Reverend he isn't) is one of the biggest problems in America. He is a crook and a con artist. Activist? His only "activism" is how he can generate more bottom line. The man disgusts me.

The most I know about Rev. Al is that he appeard in Mr. Deeds with Adam Sandler. Can you give us some examples of why he is a crook?
