Dinkin’s was just showing the protestor what his (Dinkin’s) IQ was.

He was always a lightweight “Great Black Hope” for NYC, just like Doug Wilder was for Virginia, but at least Wilder wasn’t a total failure like Dinkins.

Something stinks about Rangel and Waters BOTH being charged NOW with ethics violations. I have no doubt Rangel is a huge tax cheat, but we’ve known that for a very long time! It seems purely political now, and I believe there is almost never such a thing as coincidence.

So I have a few theories....

1) The democRAT power brokers are sure both of these people will lose in November and want them out NOW so their new ‘chosen anointed’ persons can get in early and have an easier time getting re-elected as an incumbent. New York is particularly putrid at this game. I’m not so sure about CA.

2) The RAT power brokers are throwing these two to the wolves because they plan to similarly charge a half dozen Republicans in close races, just before the election. Doing this now to two dems, makes it easier to appear non-biased later.

3) Perhaps singling out two black politicians is a way to start an angry chorus around the country that blacks in general (i.e. Obama) are getting unfairly treated, and to rally the minority troops at election.

...MY best guess is #3, since there are lots of extremely sleezy white guys in power who get away scott-free, like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, just to name two.

Nothing surprises me anymore

The chickens have come home to roost. The Southerners brought the blacks here for slaves & then given their equal status, the Illuminate brought us the Nazis after WW11, the elites allowed the open borders to bring in the Messicans to raise La Rasa & the latest with that group of so-called 'Religion of Peace' pukes we have now reached the apex of total destruction of a once great nation.

Both Lindsey and Wagner were mobbed up with the Gambino Family. Wagner was a better mayor. Still, NY got screwed as usual.

Wagner at least kept a lot of the mayhem in check. My father was with the NYPD, and the night Lindsey won the election, he walked into the living romm and announced that we were moving.(We lived in Brooklyn)

Proof that Bob Grant was right in saying that Dinkins was nothing more than a “...men's room attendant.”

Rangel should quit and start a new career as a cartoon voice artist.

Perfect! It seems most animated movies have a rat in them.

Don't forget, both Lindsey and Bloomberg ran as Republicans and had GOP backing.

Dave was just agreeing with the protester. The middle finger pointed at the man was the Dink’s way of saying:

Charlie # 1 crook!
