Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) said on Friday that the conservatives who make up the tea party are the same white crackers who fought the U.S. civil rights movement. In an interview with David Freedlander at the Daily Beast, the congressman issued a scathing indictment of the far right.
On the Republicans in the House of Representatives who are blocking any and all Democratic attempts to govern, Rangel said, What is happening is sabotage. Terrorists couldnt do a better job than the Republicans are doing.
And he was equally blunt in his assessment of the tea party caucus and its adherents. It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didnt care about how they looked. It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough.
He lamented that those in the tea party are turning on any Republican who does not toe the tea party line. And now my friend Peter King is on their hit list. Peter King, a Republican, is considered a goddamn communist.
It has to do with whether or not in God we trust, Rangel said with regards to the tea partys desire to cut all social programs and destroy the social safety net. I dont know how much God played a role in the country, but it is everywhere
And I used to be an altar boy so that I can say, if you are talking about Jews and Christians and probably Muslims and Mormons, [theres] the whole idea that
we are supposed to help the aged and provide health care and give kids a break and do all of these good things.

(24,746 posts)Someone had to come out and state the obvious. The Tea Party is nothing more than the 21st century KKK--terrorists motivated by genocidal racism, femicidal sexism, and a hatred that can't be reasoned with.
