Charlie Rangel: Tea Party Is ‘Same Group’ Of ‘White Crackers’ Who Fought Civil Rights
Talking Points Memo ^ | August 2, 2013 | Hunter Walker

Posted on 08/02/2013 7:32:46 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In an interview with the Daily Beast published Friday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) suggested Tea Partiers are the "same group" who fought for segregation during the Civil Rights movement.

“It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didn’t care about how they looked," Rangel said.

Because of this, Rangel said the Tea Party could be defeated using the same tactics employed against Jim Crow.

"It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. ‘I don’t want to see it and I am not a part of it.’ What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break,” said Rangel.

The Black Grievance Industry is getting crazier and more shrill all the time.

When last did Charlie say or do anything that helped other people (black or white or purple with orange polka-dots)
...
or helped American social cohesion as a whole?

just curious

Will Rangel's comments get the same media coverage as the Philadelphia Eagles receivers' comment?

Sorry, that was a stupid question.

Charlie Rangel is the same kind of tribal warlord who enslaved black people.

Two can play at this game, mister.

Eugene ‘Bull’ Connor was the DEMOCRAT who used those tactics! Charlie conveniently forgot it was his party that was against civil rights. You just can’t teach an old dog.

Just when I was getting comfortable being a Honky old Charlie throws me a curve and now I am a cracker. BTW, I just learned how that term came to be. It apparently comes from the “boss man” cracking the whip.

I don’t recall seeing a snarling dog or firehoses during any of the Tea Party events.
