Well, I do get the feeling I'm a stranger in a strange land at times......

I'm glad my old First Cavalry 1st Sarge Daddy is in his grave and doesn't have to hear this crap. Is this what he put his life on the line for in the South Pacific ? I can't say what would have happened to an SOB like him in the old days. But I think we all know. STF up Charlie !!

Charlies Rangel refuses to acknowledge that our soldiers are ALL volunteers. This same charge was made about the Vietnam deaths, but there are actual figures of deaths according to race, which disproves this assertion in Burkett's Stolen Valor. (This book also contains much documentation about "vets" who claimed to be vets but were not....including many of those w/Kerry and Hanoi Jane in their disgraceful anti-Vietnam rallies.

What thing of lasting value has Charlie Rangel ever done for America?

As with any liberal - Nothing!

[ohioman]

Rangel is a seditious piece of shiite and should be thrown in jail.

Women and children will suffer the worst!

[Ben Bolt]

From what I've read over the years about Mr. Rangel I'd say he is an expert on taxes .

[Barset]

If Chris Matthews and Howard Fineman call Doctor Condaleeza Rice "a butler to George Bush" is it possible they consider Mr. Rangel a lawn jockey for Terry McAuliffe?

"What A Wonderful World"

Rangel can pull off a credible Louis Armstrong impression. That has to be the only contribution he has given as a NY Congressman to date.

Charlie Rangel is anti-American.

No, he's not. He's just a bebop demogogue.
