The ramifications he faces for this intolerant speech are going to be substantial.

How many times do we need to address this?

Rangel is a minority. Minorities don't hold the power. Therefore, those that don't hold the power can't be racist. It's science, people.

If by "substantial", you mean non existent, then you are correct.

Yep. You can't say that kind of stuff in this day and age. I'm sure FOX News will be playing this clip 24/7.

I'm looking forward to the MSNBC shills to start the "the guy is from an older generation and that's just the way he was brought up, he can't help it" routine.

Or the "well, that was the nomenclature for racist whites in the south back in his day" bit.

Sounds like he is auditioning for a spot on MSNBC once he retires.

I thought the basis for political correctness was "words mean things" and not "actions speak louder than words". If in fact that is the case why do the liberals always get a free pass from the media when they spew such hatred.

I guarantee you that MSNBC won't be trying to sugar coat this. Some of the hosts might not mention it, but none will sigar coat it.

Is there a video of this? As we've found out over and over again, video makes a huge difference.

i mean...that stupid guy who brought up the war on whites that got all the pub yesterday was rightfully raked over the coals

when will the DEMs get their racist, nonfactual kooks in check? wasn't that the rallying cry for the crazy GOP guy?
