In an interview with the Daily Beast published Friday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) suggested Tea Partiers are the "same group" who fought for segregation during the Civil Rights movement.
“It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didn’t care about how they looked," Rangel said.
Because of this, Rangel said the Tea Party could be defeated using the same tactics employed against Jim Crow.
"It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. ‘I don’t want to see it and I am not a part of it.’ What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break,” said Rangel.
Charlie Rangel: Tea Party Is ‘Same Group’ Of ‘White Crackers’ Who Fought Civil Rights...?
Go piss up a rope you damn idiot!!!
The Black Grievance Industry is getting crazier and more shrill all the time.
When last did Charlie say or do anything that helped other people (black or white or purple with orange polka-dots)
...
or helped American social cohesion as a whole?
just curious
Charlie knows the Tea Party is dead , Obama and the IRS killed it
Al Gore’s daddy is part of the Tea Party?
Sorry, Charlie, we’re not Democrats.
Sorry, that was a stupid question.
Charlie Rangel is the same kind of tribal warlord who enslaved black people.
Two can play at this game, mister.
Eugene ‘Bull’ Connor was the DEMOCRAT who used those tactics! Charlie conveniently forgot it was his party that was against civil rights. You just can’t teach an old dog.
Charlie Rangel is the same group of white crackers who fought civil rights.
Just when I was getting comfortable being a Honky old Charlie throws me a curve and now I am a cracker. BTW, I just learned how that term came to be. It apparently comes from the “boss man” cracking the whip.
The white cracka’s who fought the civil rights act were democrats. Rangel is an idiot.
I don’t recall seeing a snarling dog or firehoses during any of the Tea Party events.
TEA partiers use to be democrats??
who knew
Yep, Charlie - they are all democrats. No, wait.....
Now we can have Tea with Crackers.
The TEA party of the day fought for the Bill of Rights, for equal rights, for everyone.
Wtf, man? Are you trying to make things better or just stir sh!t up?
Here, Charlie, think about this and go have a better day:
These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
--Proverbs 6:16-19
Sorry Charlie, Jim Crow was a registered Democrat.
Sorry Charlie, Bull Connor was a registered Democrat.
Sorry Charlie, George Wallace was a registered Democrat.
You cannot rewrite history. But the GOP has let you get away with it for far too long.
So, a member of the US Congress can spit out racist insults and not be considered unfit for office? If a conservative American said something similar, is that now ok?
Just going to take a guess here. I am guessing that the vast majority of Tea Party members were not even alive during the 50’s and 60’s when the struggle for civil rights were at their height.
Rangel needs to check a history book and reverify that it was the democratic party that threw up the roadblocks that faced those struggling for civil rights at that time.
White Democrats fought against Civil rights.
They are SCARED TO DEATH of the Tea Party because the tea party sees through the BS in Washington.
Those "white crackers" were democrats, you racist, ignorant, POS libtard. Go to hell where you belong already...
I have a news flash for you: The Tea Party is NOT dead.
Would you like some whine with your crackers?
Does he mean "White Crackers" like his good friend and esteemed colleague Senator Robert C. Byrd, who led a 14-hour filibuster again the 1964 Civil Rights Act and who, in 2001, became the first and only white man ever to use the N-word on national TV?
Here is notorious tax cheat Charles "Tax cuts are a code word for racism" Rangel posing with his good friend and colleague, white cracker Robert C. Byrd for a 2007 Vanity Fair magazine cover.
De krakuhs wuz back hatin democrats. You liar
The DNC supported slavery before the Civil War
and even TODAY, including crucifixion and selling
little girls in Syria.
DNC is the party of SLAVERS and its coverup.
That’s Robert C, “Sheets” Byrd, former Grand Wizard of the KKK in West Virginia. If politics makes strange bedfellows, those two have GOT to be the strangest, EVER!
Rep Joe Wilson was reprimanded by the House of Representatives for his You Lie shout out.
Calling Tea Partyiers “crackers” is worse but Boehner prolly agrees so nothing will happen.
doesnt it appear that charlie looks like hes ready to HEAVE//for some reason?
see above
Tea and Macabre Crumpets of Caucasian Ethnicity..mm mm good
Gee Charles, without people like the tea party to have ever fought for civil rights in the FIRST place there is a pretty good chance you would be out picking cotton. You can sit down now. Charles.
Actually, Chuckles, YOUR party is the "same group" of "White Crackers" that fought Civil Rights!
Um, no Charlie.
That was YOUR group who fought civil rights. Just like you’re still striving to hold back black people today.
So I guess we can call him a black cracka? It only seems appropriate.
Black cracka sounds good.
Rep. Charlie Rangel
Oh look it’s a tax avoiding drunk negro.
Was he interviewed from prison? He is serving time????

What the hell! If you have to mob attack kids and rape old women, give me a break," said a person living in the present and not the past.
When did Rangel last say anything to convince anyone that he was educated past being a pre-school drop out?
Just like you’re still striving to hold back black people today. <<<
and if you think about Harlem now......He’s done a good job!
