Don't get upset...let them hang themselves! Re-election time rolls around for ALL of them sooner or later!

How to get Charlie Rangle to support the war:

1) Listen to Charlie "senial old geezer" Rangle rant about "geniocide" in Iraq.

2) Call up the show that Charlie's on and get through the screener by pretending to be a fan of his.

3) As soon as you get on the air, solumnly "inform" Charlie that Bush just resigned and offered the Presidency to John Kerry, who accepted and will be conducting the war.

4) Listen to Charlie lecture on how we "must support the President in the time of war".

Worked with impeachment. ;-)

How can this man dare say such things?
This is bordering on sedition, and he should not get away with this.
What freaking former President has the experience to lead us in war besides Eisenhower you moron? Surely you said the same about the draft dodger from your party right? Somehow I doubt it.
Communist!!!!

roots --- Rangel -- Hussien -- castro ... idi ammini's !

LOL! The server must have had difficulty with the HTML, the 'Leahy', 'Daschle' and 'Kennedy' were missing ;o)

I find it comforting to know that Charles Rangel, ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, takes the time from his busy schedule to come out and perform, gratis, for GOP commercials in next year's election cycle.

They also make it easier to "Nationalize" this next election cycle. Would you really want people like him in charge?

A huge group they will lose is the swing voter. The war, the budget, Estrada, etc. They are losing a lot in the effort to "shore up their base".

HE SAID WE ARE BOMBING WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

I cannot believe he can get away with this.

In my view HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF SOLDIERS.

It is because of him and the peace protesters and liberal media that we have to bend over backwards and put our soldiers at increased risk to show the world we are not trying to harm civilians. He is aiding the enemy by portraying our military as baby killers from his position as a government representative.

I cannot believe what we've come to, and what these elected officials can get away with.

Sorry for the caps. I'm infuriated.

[Irish Eyes]

I saw this tonight also and was totaly outraged. He was amazing in his disrespect for President Bush and our men and women in Iraq. He stated twice that we were killing innocent women and children in Iraq. I can not remember exacty how he said it because I was so totaly outraged with his entire appearance.

[oyez]

This kind of tactic might work in his district, but it won't play the US public. When the war is over the Rangel plantation is going to be politicaly bankrupt and he knows it. Go ahead Charlie keep digging.

Ruck Fangel !!

[F-117A]

Failure to remove this scum from a leadership position is a stain on the Democrat Party!

[JohnD9207]

Iraq using people as slaves...NO sir because this was explained to him...See he was using this moment to gain political points. He ignored these FACTS.

Gent's watch it on Fox lated if you doubt me...but get on-line and shut this man down.

[Gumption]

That the soldiers fighting in Iraq were bombing Women and Children!!! When confronted with this he claimed that they weren't bombing themselves!!!

And because of the accidental friendly fire incidence he could have said "the coalition soldiers fighting in Iraq are bombing each other" And when confronted with this claim that they weren't bombing themselves!!!

What a disingenuous bastard.

[grumple]

I have heard rangel on many occassions with Hannity. I disliked him because of his support for Clinton. He usually provides a valid argument, but tonight it was way to obvious what he was doing and saying. He was blatantly lying and denying what was going on over there. He has been severely exposed, and our virtues should not allow this to go unnoticed. Hannity lost all respect for him tonight.

[rpierce]

When asked why (as he had just asserted) his constituency fully supported his views about Iraq, he said something to the effect that "maybe they understand what it's like to be oppressed..." ????

Unbelievable. Usually he just seems like silly idiot. Tonight he got my blood boiling with his greasy sleaziness. I don't think I've ever seen Hannity quite as upset as he obviously was.

He came across as a coward that threw out politico cheap shots then hid behind his service and his elected position.

I certainly hope they quit giving him airtime.

[x1stcav]

What I find great is that, increasingly, these evil leftists like Rangel are not being allowed to get away with it. I watched this tonight and you could tell that ol' Charlie wasn't happy to be challenged this way.

Sean did a great job of calling this old race hustler's bluff.

Bet he won't be back on this show for awhile.

[LittleRedRooster]

He also said something to the effect that calling this a liberation is a hard sell, or not believable.

Yep and he and Alan both made mention several times that we went into Iraq against the wishes of the Security Council and U.N., can someone please tell me the number of the SC resolution which states we will not attack Iraq.
If one came up for a vote I am sure we would have vetoed it.

[Mark]

The new Democratic party...... shine the light on the scum and the Republican Party wins in a landslide. They soon start eating their own. It's a beautiful thing!

[Lijahsbubbe]

I thought Sean let him off too easy. He should have challenged him and asked him this "are you calling our soldiers baby killers?"

[two23]

"I hope Sean ripped him a new one.

He did. Sean pretty much exposed him for being poorly informed about the news and current war info. Sounded to me like Rangle just regurgitated the headlines of the NY Times. Which was a good topic on O'Reilly tonight.

[gcruse]

Someone needs to remind Chuck that he is a member of the US legislature, not Canada's.
