Charlie Rangel Says Some
Republicans 'Believe That Slavery
Isn't Over'

COLIN CAMPBELL
OCT. 30, 2014,

Veteran Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) had some
harsh words for the Republican Party during a
Thursday campaign rally for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

As he has done repeatedly before, Rangel compared
some members of the GOP to confederates from
the Civil War era. But at the Thursday evening
event, he added that they "believe that slavery isn't
over."

"We have to win. We have to be able to send a national message with Andrew Cuomo. And the thing is: Everything we believe in — everything we believe in — they hate. They don't disagree — they hate!

They think if you didn't come from Europe 30 years ago, you didn't even make it. Some of them believe that slavery isn't over and they and think they won the Civil War!" Rangel shouted.

In contrast, Rangel said the Democratic Party is doing "God's work" on issues important to the American people."And so what we have to do is send a collective voice," he said of the upcoming midterms. Some Republicans 'Believe That Slavery Isn't Over' "Everything we're doing is God's work: education, healthcare, affordable housing, [protecting against] discrimination, paying people the minimum wage."



Hey Eben....since you explained to us that when Hillary said “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”...she actually "meant" something completely different and unrelated.....can/should we just assume that Charlie meant something other than what he actually said?

would it be acceptable to say that "most" people who think or believe like Charlie gravitate to his party and therefore is there some unsavory label (lunatic maybe) that we might assign that party as a result of what he like-minded might think or believe?....

...Charlie isn't some dope that crawled out from under a rock to join a protest with an offensive sign or comments....Charlie is a very long standing, high ranking member of that party...as is Hillary re. her comment


before you say..."ohhh, that's just old Charlie" read all of this http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...lack-vo/print/
