CHARLIE RANGEL USES PRESIDENT OBAMA AS AN EXAMPLE TO PLAY THE RACE-CARD - New York Post
First it was Gov. Paterson. Now the dean of New York's congressional delegation has played the race card -- and just as the governor did, he's using President Obama to do it.
Rep. Charles Rangel said Tuesday that "bias" and "prejudice" toward Obama are fueling opposition to health-care reform.
Those incendiary comments came on the heels of Paterson's controversial comments about race that also mentioned the nation's first black president.
"Some Americans have not gotten over the fact that Obama is president of the United States. They go to sleep wondering, 'How did this happen?' " Rangel (D-Manhattan) said Tuesday. You are right about one thing I do go to bed, or at least watch the news everyday and wonder “how did this happen?” But it has nothing. NOTHING. to do with the fact that Rangel is Black, or that Obama is Black, or that Conyers and Waters and others are black. Or that Pelosi and Reid and Dodd, and Frank are White. Nor, does it have anything to do with the fact that Frank is a queer as a 3 dollar bill. It doesn’t matter to me that Biden is a big fat stupid white drunk with diarrhea of the mouth. It doesn’t matter that Ted Kennedy died, or even that when he was alive he was a big fat rich elitist philandering drunk who should have been in jail for manslaughter.
Let me be plain spoken so that we can be crystal clear on these few points.
I dislike you, Charlie Rangel, because you are a Crook. You lied about your income on your tax returns and you are the head of the Ways and Means Committee which makes you a Lying Hypocritical Crook. I also further dislike you because you are a racialist for accusing me of being a racist because I disagree with your IDEAS.
I Dislike Barack Obama, because I feel he has been less than honest about his worldview, beliefs, plans and associations. I do not know that he outright lied about anything but I dislike all of his policies to date and I think he mislead a great majority of the people who voted for him. I think he has been in some shady real estate deals, I think he has taken political assassination to a high art, I think that he is a Statist and I think he does not have the best interests of our country at heart.
I Dislike Van Jones not because he is black, but because he is an avowed communist and former Con, who uses Scientific Political Science terms like “Asshole” when describing people who do not agree with his agenda.
None of these things has one single iota of relevance to Race.
Bad ideas and lying hypocritical crooks are found in every ethnicity.
I dislike Joe Biden…well because he is obviously on too much medication or not enough. I would not want him to be in charge of a kindergarten class. So I do not think he should be in any position of power.
I dislike Nancy Pelosi because she is a Liar and an Elitist. Not because she is a rich or because she is a woman.
Dodd and Reid and Frank and all the others…I dislike them because I think that they are an assortment of Tax Cheats, Liars, Crooks, Elitists,and Statists of some stripe or another.
Not because they are Gay, Old, White, or anything else.
I read about Charlie Rangel and John Conyers both in the news and thought they were crooks and socialists and bad for this country for months before I knew either of their races. Because I do not care that they are black.
Speaking at a health-care forum in Washington Heights, Rangel said that when critics complain that Obama is "trying to interfere" with their lives by pushing for health-care reform, "then you know there's just a misunderstanding, a bias, a prejudice, an emotional feeling."
NO not an emotional feeling. Not a Misunderstanding. They are banking on our misunderstanding. I have a problem because of several well reasoned objections.
"We're going to have to move forward notwithstanding that," said Rangel, the powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and a chief health-care negotiator.
So we are going to cram it down your throats because once again we know better and we Rule you, not because we Represent you.
Rangel then likened the battle over health-care expansion for the uninsured to the fight for civil rights.
OH. MY. GOD. this is nothing like Civil Rights, there is no RIGHT TO FREE MEDICAL CARE ARGGGGHHH Who are we discriminating against? The poor? Or just the poor blacks?
Well then why does Mr. Rangel try to cheat the IRS all the time? Doesn’t he want to help his poor brethren with his tax dollars?
"Why do we have to wait for the right to vote? Why can't we get what God has given us? GOD? God did not give you the right to welfare, or social entitlements! That is the right to live as human beings and not negotiate with white southerners WHITE SOUTHERNERS? WTF? WHO IS RACIST NOW? and not count the votes. Just do the right thing," he said.
Rangel's comments came less than two weeks after Paterson claimed he has been the victim of a racist white media -- and also suggested that opposition to Obama's plan is racially driven. Anytime a black man does not get his way it is Racial then? That is the standard we live under now? I thought Obama was the post racial president, but apparently all we have done is take race baiting to a higher level now.
The White House was quick to rebut Paterson's comments. Of course they did. How many times? How many times is someone at the white house going to have to distance themselves from a racialist comment from one of its associates? Rev. Wright, Van Jones, John Conyers, Charlie Rangel, Gov. Paterson. Not even to mention all the other moonbat leftists who say the same thing. If all of your friends supporters and associates are crooks, racialists and liars …eventually…at some point… doesn’t that sort of stick to you?
Critics of ObamaCare blasted Rangel for taking the low road.
"Charlie Rangel knows that race has nothing to do with the health-care debate. He should not be implying that race has anything to do with it," said Rep. Peter King (R-LI).
State Conservative Party leader Mike Long called Rangel's comment "outrageous and outlandish" -- and suggested the congressman might be trying to deflect attention from his ethics woes.
"Rangel is playing the race card. It's clear that the congressman is trying to galvanize the minority community that this is 'us against them.' It's going to backfire. A majority of people will see through this," Long said.
After the forum, Rangel insisted he was not smearing opponents as racists. Just because that is what I SAID doesn't mean that is what I Meant in my heart.
"What I'm saying is, if you watch the town-hall meetings, people were angry and did not care what the answer was to some of their questions. They were angry with their member of Congress, period," he said.
No sir, NO sir. You cannot back your way out of this one. Sorry. Not with me, and not with the rest of us either. Yes we are angry. No we do not really care to hear the same old tired lies that we have heard before. We went there to be listened to. That is what a Town Hall is. We do not go to them to be talked down to like ignorant peons who have no idea what is in their best interests. You work for us. We do not live to Serve You. You do not Rule us, you are supposed to Represent us. But I know I am not represented, I and others like me have not been represented by this government for many years now. But I hope and pray that you will learn the difference soon between being a Ruler and being a Representative.
