RANGEL: AN ATTACK ON BUSH IS AN ATTACK ON ALL AMERICANS... 'You do not come into my country, my congressional district, and you do not condemn my president. If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not. I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chavez or any other president, but do not come to the United States and think because we have problems with our president that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our Chief of State'...
I think the Republicans should thank the demonRATs for defending the President but also take the time to point out that there is a global media and our enemies have obviously been reading their comments and statements that are not too far off from Chavez's comments btw, and our enemies our obviously taking heart from the Democrat's rhetoric. It proves the point in a dramatic way that words have consequences. If we had shown a united front on war to the world the insurgency would probably be put to bed by now.
"PUTO CHAVEZ"? ROFLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
My bet is Rangel was less concerned with Chavez's attacks but where he was repeating these attacks today and the audience's response: Chavez was was speaking in a Church in Rangels congressional district to a crowd of Rangel's constituants and... they were cheering loadly.
Charlie must have feared: What if the rest of America realized that these people cheering Chavez voted him (Rangel) into Congress by majorities of 90+ % for decades because he thinks like them and they think like him...?

Have you too been using magic mushrooms?
?????????????????
Rangel didn't have to say anything.
I don't his constituents think one or the other about Chavez and probably couldn't find Venezuela on a map if their lives depended on it. As a matter of fact, most of them probably don;t even know who Chavez is.
Rangel is a veteran and I think he WAS genuinely ticked off by this dirtball in his neighborhood.
Is that you, Rush?
Bubba and Rangel know that Chavez and President Tom's rages only help Bush.
Reminds me of Carlos Mencia's skit about talking to an Arab who criticizes our country.
Classic line: The black, whites and hispanics fight because we got nothing better to do, we like drama.
But he goes on to say that once you attack us, we unite. Same when a two bit South American despot calls the President the devil. That unites the Americans (except for the kook fringe over at DU.) it doesn't divide them.
AS far as Chevas goes: Fools is as fools does! What's going to happen when we don't buy his oil any more.....Can you say BOYCOTT!?
So, let me get this straight: the dems don't criticize Saint James of Georgia (that's Carter in case you didn't know) for blasting our President on FOREIGN SOIL, but it's not ok for a foreign head of state to criticize the President in the US. Makes sense to me. /sarcasm
Only because they know that true-blue Americans are up in arms about Chavez's words. They realize that this attack will make American's protective of the President because an attack on our country from outside is an attack on us.
You just wait, Pelosi, Rangel and the crowd will caveat their criticisms of Chavez with something like this, "It is unfortunate that the President has placed this country in the position for us to defend him against the likes of Chavez. Unfortunately, any good will towards the US has been destroyed by Bush lying to the world community about Iraq." Blah, Blah, Blah.
He's not taking things laying down. He told Chavez in a not so obvious manner "Hey BUB! You're on my turf! Only I and my fellow Democrats can attack this President! Just be happy you're here in my 'hood! Got it? Bub? Enjoy your stay! Love ya man! I do! Really! I DO!"
My guess is that the snap polls taken were not good for the dems. Rangel has promised to quit the congress if they don't take over the congress in November. He's worried.
I bet not! Are you wading in the cesspool? If so, get out, get a shower and then tell us what the lunatic fringe is spewing ;)

As long as oil prices stay reasonable and the Repubs in Congress don't go along with any pro-illegal alien bills, I think we will make it.
If any terrorist attacks occur, or even threats of them do, it will make us look better.
If the Muslims really wanted to help themselves, they would have cooled it all over the world until 2008. That would have helped the Dems, and a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress is an Islamist's dream come true.
A Republican Congress, especially a conservative one, and a conservative Republican President is their worst nightmare.
