UNREAL: A powerful black Democrat congressman just called the Tea Party a bunch of "white crackers"... and liberals haven't made a peep.
Disgusting. No Republican would get away with using a racist term like that... this racist man should be thrown out of office immediately. Period.
Democrat Congressman Calls Tea Party "White Crackers"... Where's the Outrage?
It's only outrageous or news worthy, if it's a Republican or Conservative spewing the hate. Democrats spewing is absolutely fine and acceptable.
You are 100% correct. It's quite pathetic, isn't it?
It's Charlie Rangel. He's an asshole.
He is indeed an asshole. And a law breaker. Why do we tolerate elected officials like this?
The people in his district love the guy, I guess.
Charlie wins his district with 95+% of the vote every cycle. He isn't going anywhere unless he dies and even that might not stop him.
-edit-
I should probably correct myself before someone else points it out. He fell to 80% of the vote in 2012 and 89% in 2010. Other than that he's been above 90% since 1972

Has he ever had a legitimate contender?
Has he ever had a legitimate contender?
In the primary, yes. The last two times he's run (2014 and 2012), he's been challenged by State Sen. Adriano Espaillat. Rangel beat him 47-43 in the primary this year, or by about 1,800 votes. The GOP isn't running a candidate for the seat.
One of those seats the GOP feels is a waste of resources to contest I guess.

Probably not.
For Republicans people like him are too valuable, he's a corrupt asshole that makes the democrats look bad... better to keep him around to remind people of that.
It's the same reason Michelle Bachmann leaving congress is a huge loss for the democrats.
