John Dingell (D-Mich) on MSNBC:
Well, the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble.
Note to Think Progress: You're supposed to blog about things that will hurt Republicans, not Democrats. George Soros is going to be very very angry at you.

It will be interesting to see if Dingell draws a meaningful challenge this time around. He hasn’t done a very good job for his district. Got demoted by Pelosi, let GM and Chrysler go bankrupt, and now this. It’s time for the old fool to go.
Time to wipe the Dingellberry from the anus of America.
Have you ever wondered how all these democrats know so much about KKK rallies? How many have they attended?
That’s the MAIN PROBLEM in Washington. We have people like this who have spent their whole lives inside the Beltway. This guy has been in office since 1955! WE MUST HAVE TERM LIMITS NOW!!!
It is. He's awake, and the only care in the world he has is where his teef are, and how long he has to hold his bladder for a 1/125 second promo photo-shoot. He looks young there, not a day over 80.

Dingell reminds me of a corpse that hasn’t been buried.
Damn, I’ve missed that logo!
Great thread! Thanks to all posters.
YOU CANNOT SAY ENOUGH BAD THINGS ABOUT THIS IDIOT.
BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!
You just don’t like black people, that’s all. /s
In the summer of 1989, Mr. Rostenkowski, then a congressman from Illinois and the powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was besieged by a crowd of 50 senior citizens in Chicago . . . the protesters -- shouting "coward," "recall" and "impeach" -- forced him to sprint through a gas station to his car. . .[where they proceeded to rock his government limo if I remember correctly]
The protesters were angry about [a new Medicare law] . . .That law was soon repealed . . . the television images of Mr. Rostenkowski under assault struck fear in the hearts of politicians . . .
"Politicians were traumatized by the Rostenkowski episode," said Henry J. Aaron, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution."
If we did what citizens have done before in our history we could be charged with terrorism for going after a Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) leader or stalwart.
Interesting. Protesters remind Dingell of the KKK. I’m glad he pointed this out. I never would have thought of this comparison without him: The union thugs who visited the Sola family remind me of the KKK.
Yep you got me ;) (extreme sarcasm).
He's provided no proof of that ~ and absent proof, when a Congresscritter claims something about how he voted, it's best to dismiss it out of hand.
At the moment, as far as Dingel's evidence goes HE VOTED AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS, just like he wants to do now.

He’s old enough to remember the glory days of the demoKKKratic party.
John, you’re losing it old man.
Has he EVER taken Senator Robert Sheets Byrd to task for his role in the Klan as a RECRUITER for racists? He was no mere member, he was a RECRUITER!
