CHARLIE UPS THE RACE-CARD ANTE
New York Post ^ | September 3, 2009 | CARL CAMPANILE

Posted on 09/03/2009 8:53:28 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

First it was Gov. Paterson. Now the dean of New York's congressional delegation has played the race card -- and just as the governor did, he's using President Obama to do it.

Rep. Charles Rangel said Tuesday that "bias" and "prejudice" toward Obama are fueling opposition to health-care reform.

Actually, I'm kind of glad that Charlie is doing this. People are at the point now where they are not as intimidated by the ‘race card’. The more and more guys like Charlie keep trying to play it, the less and less intimidating it will become. Fortunately, the RATs just don't know when to quit.

Hey Charlie, it isn't racism:

Video Regarding Exeter, NH Town Hall Meeting... Speaking From the Heart Against Obamacare.

Here is a Youtube video of the event of August 31 where Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta spoke at an Exeter, NH town hall meeting in Exeter that you may not have seen and may want to view and forward to others involved in the battle against Obama Death care entitled:

...constituent speaks from the heart (about Obamacare)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRzlLa48Wps

I spoke shortly after the retired police man from NYC who was ejected the day before by Carol Shea Porter. There were paid activist (possibly union) thugs outside the hall dressed in SCREAM masks and gowns screaming "Stop Republican Scare Tactics". Needless to say, I let them, congress and Obama have it with both barrels.

Just more evidence that they can’t win a debate on the merits. The manchurian potus doesnt even know what’s in the bill, and i doubt rangel does, either.

Oh, and where’s the birth certificate?

How come they can’t get all the dems to go for it, then?

He’s just trying to deflect criticism for making the IRS the enforcer of Healthcare (see the bill) and why he lied on his tax return for the past 5 years ... no surprise here. Oh ... and I guess that if something is made of this, this jacka$$ will pull the race card AGAIN!

So which is it Charlie. Are we all socialists now or are we all racists now.

He’s a crook and it doesn’t really matter what color he is.

He’s just warning everyone that he will not give up his Ways and Means Chairmanship without an ugly mess.

It’s a combination of diminishing returns and

“What do you mean, playing the race card? We had an unspoken bargain! We elect a black man as president and you stop calling us racists! You’re reniging on the deal!”

Every time an Obama backer criticizes someone as racist for not supporting one of Obama’s socialist scams, it proves the accuser is himself not ready for a Black president.

Oh, I thought Charlie was using it to excuse his cheating on taxes and other ethical lapses.

I agree, they're gonna wear the darned thing out, something that is long overdue.

Just an acute case of racists calling decent people “racists”.

You're a thief, Charlie. That's what we call tax cheats.
You belong in a federal penitentiary.

Someone needs to inform 5 o’clock Charlie that Traficant’s cell is now open and waiting for his arrival.

Paterson’s play of the race card was laughed at in
New York.

It’s not about race, it’s about impotence and ineptitude. We were also told obama was a “post-racial” candidate and a healer. Wherefore is the bludgeon of race-baiting more in use than less?

Agreed, the race card has been way overplayed. Thankfully. Doing it on this debate is even better—there is good cause for dissent on the proposals. Keep it up Charlie and ‘rats. Please.
