#2 If you cannot argue against the Tea Party, then assault them with ad hominem attacks. Typical dem tactics. Real great way to lead the country.

#5 But Charlie...The Tea Party is for smaller govt. and lower taxes. If they were successful you wouldn't have to cheat on your taxes anymore.

#6 Funny, he's the one arguing for slavery-by-debt remarkably similar to sharecropping, for the entire nation.

#7 Actually, he's all for the new socialist Plantation system where those who actually create value are 'relieved' of the products and resources of their labor for those up in the Plantation House and those who are so favored by the masters.

#8 Not really a problem, as he is an "Hispanic Black" (His father, Ralph Rangel, was from Puerto Rico) and can, therefore, say stupid things without consideration of recrimination....

I am, btw, loving this latest evolution of hyphenated America and the enhanced possibilities of bringing the country together that it presents...! /sarc

#9 White Cracker is racial slur. Is this acceptable as a new rule of political speech? There are other racial slurs that politicians avoid using due to being offensive to certain segments of society.

Is Mr Rangel opening that door? Inquiring amateur pundits would like to know.

#10 The so-called "White Crackers" who fought civil rights were Democrats Charlie. Get your history straight instead of revising it. Shame on you, you know better.

#11 "Tea Party Is 'Same Group' Of 'White Crackers' Who Fought Civil Rights"

Gee, Charlie, you mean like Democratic National Committeeman Bull Connor?

Wrong, Charlie - we're not DemoncRats. And you clowns wouldn't know a right - civil or otherwise - if it kicked you in the ~~head~~ ass.

Epic FAIL, you loud-mouthed loser.

#13 White cracker, in the mouth of the honourable Congressman Rangel, is a double racial slur. He himself, however, is an extremely successful political idiot.

#14 I've had a home of record below the MD for decades. I don't believe I've ever heard that term in rural Georgia conversation. Can't remember the last time I heard the feared "n-word" either. Must be a northern, urban, New Yorker thing.
