Charlie Rangel: Tea Party Is ‘Same Group’ Of ‘White Crackers’ Who Fought Civil Rights

Talking Points Memo ^ | August 2, 2013 | Hunter Walker

By labeling anyone who opposes reckless spending (nearly $17 trillion dollars of national debt) and big government a racist, Rangel intends to silence the opposition. It’s a tactic that works so well that Republicans don’t exist in most city governments. It’s the type of technique that allows bad leaders to be unaccountable.

Some time ago, I decided that when someone called me a racist or bigot, homophobic or xenophobic or whatever, I replied, “call me whatever you want but it won’t alter my opinion or actions. So, go peddle your own racism and bigotry to someone that can be intimidated by you.”

Tea stands for Taxed Enough Already.

Where are Senators from the Tea Party coming out and denouncing this? Do not let this sort of rubbish gain any traction!

[Amagi]

How ignorant & dishonest is Dirtbag Rangel?
It was democrats who tried to stop civil rights legislation

[SERE_DOC]

And yet Chuck....

They were all democrats, talks about an utter fail on stereotyping, ya great buffoon, race baiting swine.

[meyer]

Come here and say that to my face, Rangel, you useless moron.

[Slyfox]

From a top democrat in his day:

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this
beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

[metesky]

Since when is the TEA Party made up of Democrats?

[DaveA37]

Another uppity Ni___ out there race baiting.

[DaveA37]

Another uppity Ni___ out there race baiting.

[DaveA37]

Another uppity Ni___ out there race baiting.

[DaveA37]

Another uppity Ni___ out there race baiting.

[Amagi]

Rangel is an ignorant, lying POS, who, because of his criminal activity, should be in the slammer.

[abclily]

Charlie Rangel is an absolute liar. The Tea Party is not made up of liberals who keep blacks down. That’s pretty low, when Charlie has to lie about who kept the blacks down in the past. And here Charlie is with his lies...continuing to keep blacks down in the present!

[expat2]

Hardly. The people who fought against civil rights were nasty Democrats, not good Tea Party folks.
