Via Breitbart:
WCBS: CBS 2 HD has discovered that since ethics probes began last year the 79-year-old congressman has given campaign donations to 119 members of Congress, including three of the five Democrats on the House Ethics Committee who are charged with investigating him. Charlie’s “angels” on the committee include Congressmen Ben Chandler of Kentucky, G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina and Peter Welch of Vermont. All have received donations from Rangel.
I guess that’s why he’s playing the race card now. Divert attention.
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.
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.”
If there was prejudice about Obama’s race he never would have been elected in the first place. Most Americans are against the democrat plans to overhaul health care in America. Even Americans who voted for Obama.
This is getting so old.










I read your post and the article you linked from that bastion of truth, the New York Post. Rep. Rangel never mentions race. How is he playing the race card? He says that there is prejudice against Obama and that some people can’t get over the fact that he is president. Your website is proof positive that that is true. However, he didn’t mention race. Your bigotry is showing. Oh wait — you’re proud of that, aren’t you?

I think he was saying that some people, like you, just hate whatever the president stands for. Why do you hate him again? Oh, right — you think he’s a socialist, un-American, Marxist, fascist, or whatever word Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh told you to think today. And then there are a frightening large number of peole who don’t like him because he is black. However, Rep. Rangel never said that. By the way, Rep. Rangel is a Korean war veteran and a purple heart awardee. But you only “support” the military when it’s convenient.
