When I say, Race-Baiter, Demagogue, Marxist, cantankerous old Jerk. Who springs to mind? 

   OK, that could be several people, but the one I am thinking off is Congresshole Charlie Rangel, (Marxist-Harlem).  Here are a few gems of his sick wisdom:

In an appearance on the TV show “Hardball” Representative Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) objected to President Bush’s the use of the term “Islamofascist” to describe the terrorists who blow up airplanes and buildings indiscriminately killing innocent men, women and children. “We gave Hitler, a white man, the benefit of the doubt in the 1930s,” said Rangel. “I know that turned out badly, but why shouldn’t brown men get the same benefit? Shouldn’t our policies be racially balanced.” “Besides, they haven’t killed that many people yet,”   Posted on 08/18/2006 10:56:41 PM PDT by John Semmens azconservative.org

But there is more.....

at a New York town-hall meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus, Representative Charles Rangel took the stage vacated minutes earlier by Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and declared, "George Bush is our Bull Connor." This comment is preposterous enough on its own--Bull Connor, the Birmingham police chief who turned hoses and dogs on civil rights marchers in 1963 and became a symbol of Southern racism, would never have had a black secretary of state. Illustration by David CowlesTo equate Bush's faltering attitude toward blacks during Katrina with Connor's brazen, unrelenting bigotry is an insult to those activists who endured Connor's persecutions.

But wait there is more......

"Your World with Neil Cavuto," August 3, 2006.
CAVUTO:  Well, are you saying you're for Castro?
RANGEL:  No. I want a democratic change. But I don't believe dancing in the street and spreading out money in Havana and in Miami is the a way to do it.
CAVUTO:  Charlie, this guy killed a lot of people.
RANGEL:  Well, I wonder how many people we killed at Guantanamo.  I mean, we don't have the human rights record.
CAVUTO:  Well, wait — wait a minute. Are you equating Fidel Castro with what's happening at Guantanamo?
RANGEL:  You bet your life, if we're — if we are talking about human rights.
Charles Rangel has 'fessed up to having violated congressional ethics rules by taking his son to Cuba in 2002 on a trip paid for by Fidel Castro's government (Rangel and Castro.) Anti-embargo lawmaker's Cuba ties.  Apparently Rangel is just getting warmed up.

HEH, It just gets better....

2/22/2005: Hizballah: "Death to America"

Earlier today, top House Democrat Charles Rangel said it was bigotry to use the term “Islamic terrorism” to refer to groups like Hizballah, and questioned whether a worldwide Islamic terrorist movement even existed.

and there is this.....

NewsMax, Feb. 15

Rep. Charlie Rangel is blasting ex-President Bill Clinton as “a redneck” after New York Sen. Hillary Clinton refused for the second year in a row to support his bill to help the mother of police shooting victim Amadou Diallo stay in the country. Asked on Tuesday morning if he really thought Clinton was a redneck, Rangel told WWRL Radio’s Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter: “Of course he is. He’s from Arkansas.

wow.....

In 1994, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., likened tax cuts to racial epithets, saying, "It's not 'spic' or 'nigger' anymore. They just say, 'Let's cut taxes.'" Later that year, Rep. Major Owens, D-N.Y., used similar language to describe the Republicans' Contract With America: "These are people who are practicing genocide with a smile; they're worse than Hitler."   - Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe Columnist, 12/27/1994

Now here is where I am going with all this. Sean Hannity, Bill O'reilly and others often have Rangel on as a guest because he is a big media whore. But they treat him like he was some distinguished elder statesman. In reality he is a horrible vile smear merchant. An America hating marxist, he is pro Islamo-fascist , pro Castro. He plays the race card at every turn. In short he is not one of the good guys, he is an evil old jackass.
