Tonight Congressman Rangel repeated the meme, unchallenge, that SFC Cardott was not killed in Haiti. That three soldiers did not die there, committing suicide. This was started by Hillary Rodham Clinton in 1996.

Congressman Rangel is a veteran of the forgotton war, did political expediency cause him to forget these lives lost in Haiti previously?

I would like an assist on when/where Hillary said "Not one American soldier had died in Haiti."

Rangel is a racist. He hates white people.

Rangle is gonna lose business, while he finds a replacement drug supplier for his Harlem fiefdom, he's plenty pissed about the prospects in Haiti.

When I was young living in NYC I remember my grandmother listening to Bob Grant on the radio. On one show Bob Grant broadcast from the projects. He claimed that Rangel was intimately involved in trafficking drugs in the the projects.

Did you see Kerry and Rangel hugging and kissing this morning? Made me barff. Two clinicaly insane morons free to inflict damage where they choose.

"Did you see Kerry and Rangel hugging and kissing this morning?"

No I have a life...lol...just kidding. No I thank God I was out seeing Mel's Passion and missed those two shmucks.
