It was a dramatic but fitting start to an evening that brimmed with political defiance. About 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, as guests began strolling into the Plaza Hotel to celebrate Representative Charles B. Rangel’s 80th birthday, former Mayor David N. Dinkins turned to confront a heckler.
“You know you are attending a party for a crook,” the man yelled.
At that, Mr. Dinkins, a paragon of statesmanship and dignity, raised his middle finger at the man, displaying it for all to see, witnesses said.

New York joins California as a Third World country.
Where’s the picture? There has to be one. I did a quick search and could not find one.
I guess it represents some sort of breakthrough that the Slimes even bothered to report this.
Oh please let there be video of this that makes it on youtube! Please, please, please!
Nothing surprises me anymore
Such class.
Expect dinkins to claim that the protester called sweet charles a n!ggah.
Heh. Wouldn’t surprise me if Charlie winds up giving the middle finger to Dinkins one of these days!
At least Dinkins was being honest in expressing how the Democrat machine really feels about the voters!
Rangel should quit and start a new career as a cartoon voice artist.
By way of which, Dinkens knows perfectly well Rangel is a liar, a thief, a crook, a scumbag and of course a fellow politician. Expect any less from our “ruling class?”
NYC was a deadly and dangerous third world jungle when Dinkins was mayor.
Certainly was. Tell me about it. Dinkins’ model was Mogadishu-esque. Rudy (blessed be his name) made things a lot better. But the scene at Charlie’s party was pure Third World, with all the class that pertains thereto.
What did they expect with a name like dinkin ? ..... Doughnuts ? oh no wait thats spelled Different
They are black ... the most protected of the victim classes.
They can do any damn thing they want, no matter how illegal or sleazy, and get away with it. And they know it.
Dinkins is so over, he’s nobody, nobody even mentions his name anymore. He’s got nothing to lose. He figures Charlie will want to hang with him after he resigns. Getting the finger from him is like getting the finger from a wino.
Just did a quick search on YouTube — no video yet.
I highly doubt Ed Koch would have ever reacted the way Dinkins did.
While that is true, the real story is the insult toward honorable blacks, and hispanics, everywhere.
