Charlie Rangel: Tea Party Is ‘Same Group’ Of ‘White Crackers’ Who Fought Civil Rights

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

In an interview with the Daily Beast published Friday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) suggested Tea Partiers are the "same group" who fought for segregation during the Civil Rights movement.

“It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didn’t care about how they looked," Rangel said.

Because of this, Rangel said the Tea Party could be defeated using the same tactics employed against Jim Crow.

"It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. ‘I don’t want to see it and I am not a part of it.’ What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break,” said Rangel.

Please tell me you do not stan the Young Turks. They make some good points, but love hyperbole and overdramatizing everything. For someone with a law degree Cenk loves to make arguments with logical gaps that he know would never stand in front of a judge. "This happened and this happened, both these things are bad, so it MUST mean this other thing." The shyt makes it hard for me to listen to him even when I agree with him (which is often).

Cenk is cynical and usually takes the glass-half-empty view on things, but it seems like he's right more often than not.

With the state of political discourse we got going on right now it's usually safe to assume the worst.
