A sad display of unmitigated gall and a disdain from a party that "prides" itself on being on a different plane when it comes to ethics in gubamint.

If ever there was a display of a criminal organization masquerading as a political party... the Dems are it.

The Republicans should very vocally and frequently demand an APOLOGY from Charles Rangel. Apologies work both ways, Komrade Speaker Pelosi.

Good thing he didn’t have an affair, carry on a dirty phone call, toe tap, or write a questionable thesis some twenty years ago.

Unfortunately, both sides are full of corruption.

“He knows how to pull people together — he’s a coalition-builder,” Towns said. “I would encourage people to look at the whole Rangel.”

I've heard many defend unethical Republicans using the same, or similar, argument. Some folks don't seem to care what they do in their "private" time, as long as they do their jobs well. We need to hold ALL politicians to higher standards, and in this case any Democrat or Republican not speaking out against Rangel is complicit.

I don’t think he should just lose his Chairman seat, I think he should be forced to resign from Congress altogether and then face criminal charges. I have no doubt that he is guilty of several counts of fraud and tax evasion. I don’t necessarily believe that they would get a jury to convict him since we know the jury would be packed with his “constituents” who would be only to eager to participate in jury nullification. Nevertheless he should be charged just the same as we lesser serfs would.

The Congressional Black Caucus is racist, plain and simple. Right and wrong mean nothing to them. Justice is a perversion that they only recognize in regards to themselves and their causes.

The proof is in the answer to this question: Has the CBC ever come to the defense of a white conservative politician?

(it’s possible they’ve defended a white liberal politician, but that would only be in furtherance of their racist causes, so that wouldn’t count.)

Do any in the CBC pay their taxes and report their assets?

“Members amend financial disclosure reports all the time — they are amendable,” said Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.). “This is what we want members of Congress to do if there are mistakes.”

Sounds to me like a "Chaka Con."

Rangel is an arrogant and corrupt Rep as are many of the CBC.

Unfortunately, RATs never apologize — EVER. Republicans, on the other hand, have to apologize over and over until the RATs tell them they don’t have to do it anymore.

Race only unites in the hatred of whitey. There seems to be no cease fire in the internecine warfare on city streets.

“Congressional Black Caucus members are standing squarely behind one of their own: embattled Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.).”

Then they are standing behind a crook.

Have they got anyone who is not a crook? Let’s hope so.
