This guy's gonna get crucified. I hope he gets his ass handed to him...
Watch it! He was part of the civil rights movement so you have to take his WHOLE character into mind. Thus his civil rights involvement must out weigh whatever else he has done. I wonder, do you even believe the bullshit you try to pass on?Pug wrote:

I heard all thirteen charges...and he'll only get a reprimand? Wow.
You do realise you're the only one here bringing up his race and civil rights movements and such. Nobody else even hinted towards any of that. Everyone else in the thread is just seeing him as another corrupt politician, but you're seeing it as a corrupt civil rights leader and bringing attention to his race and such.lowing wrote:

You do realize YOU are the only one that has mentioned his race don't you? Here is a news flash, there were white people involved in the civil rights movement as well.Mekstizzle wrote:

My comment goes toward his bullshit argument in another thread.

I'm not saying I like this guy, but he's going to get a trial -- which is the due process of law.

People are already fired up with a burning hatred for Congress going into this election. I think giving him nothing more than a slap on the wrist at this point would do more to harm the Democrats in November than any single piece of legislation they've passed. Indemnifying one of their own criminals is a slap in the face to every law abiding citizen in this country.Harmor wrote:

Here's another good article discussing all the counts against him:
Rangel's real crime. via http://www.nationalreview.com/
Rangel's real crime. via http://www.nationalreview.com/
Well it's not just Rangle anymore. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has just become the subject of another House ethics hearing. Link
Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) – Lying Under Oath
Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY) – 13 ethics charges
Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) – Conflict of Interest (husband on board, bank bailout funds)
Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) – Political Corruption Crime Spree (Blago, Obama's old seat)
Representative Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) – Voted to Retain Funding for ACORN
Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) – Payments to his brother, Charles Clyburn
Representative Gregory Meeks (D-NY) – Failure to disclose a $40,000 loan
All of the above are black congressmen and women. Why are they all under investigation all at the same time? Something is not right here.

I would think the only parallel is that you hate MLK and Rangel because they are black...since you asked that's my opinion.lowing wrote:

My comment goes toward his bullshit argument in another thread.
He's the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, a committee that monitors taxation...and got caught in tax fraud. Throw his ass in jail.
Of course "you would think that". It is the only argument you have, call me a racist and run for the woodwork dismissing my argument because you don't argue with racists....Try this. Try defending these fuck heads characters...( NOT their image). If you have read any of my arguments, I never not once mentioned their race as a factor in anything. I address their actions as people, as supposed leaders, as supposed examples for the rest of us....and they have been found to be wanting.Pug wrote:

Ummm...seriously. Who decided the Rangel problem somehow took on a racial slant?
I'll give you a hint: it was you.
But since you really believe you are correct, prove to me that this situation with Rangel is the same as with MLK and I'll be happy to respond.
You like him? Why, because he is colored?eleven bravo wrote:

He has been a smug, tax evading douche for years. He has blantantly used his power to enrich himself and is a proven scofflaw. Maxine Waters has always been ten times the conspiracy nut as I am. You get your panties in a wad when I condemn the fbi and atf for the murder of civilians in Waco and yet you support a black congresswoman who thinks the bush family runs crack into L.A.
I think you're race baiting homie.
You see things through a colored lense and wear a cross on you that says ' victim '.
You told me once how your uncle ran coke for the cia.
who exactly wears the tinfoil hat here? You resent what i say about our government, because the truth is painful.
i never told you anything about me knowing that my uncle ran drugs for the cia. go fuck yourself you orphan fuck and quit addressing me

Gee, I coulda swore I just read that you think I "hate MLK and Rangel because they were black". insinuating that there could be no other reason for it. Did I not read that ?Pug wrote:

I doubt it. but they are equally immoral and unethical...Let me guess, that does not count right?Pug wrote:

I hope you enjoyed baiting the hook in this thread.
