If Rangel had gotten your mythical, race-baiting “black pass” – which you both create and disprove with your own words – he wouldn’t be in his current predicament.

Hatred has destroyed whatever passed for logic in the decayed gray matter that used to occupy your skull.

Your “show” was cancelled. Your listener died of boredom.

If Rangel committed serious crimes, he should be punished – and I don’t give a good goddamn WHAT color he is. That goes for Waters, too.

“Throwing stones” never bothered sleazeball Kristol or his hypocritical ilk before. Why he would hold his fire this time is odd. Maybe he’s waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop on a “neocon man.” That’s unlikely, since forethought isn’t his best attribute.

Come to think of it, neither is “AFTER-thought.”

Yep, the Republicans know that if they go after Rangel, who really is one of their own, after all, then the shoe could easily be on the other foot, at any time.

Are you serious? Please at least try to justify this statement. He is rated as being the 350th most conservative representative in Congress, and the 80th most liberal in congress. He’s a far cry from a Republican. Although, I will admit that most of these politicians are the same card, just different corrupt sides.

And let’s be honest here. Most Americans do not know who Charlie Rangel is or what the House Ways and Means Committee is or does.

@felixw: The rule used to be that Republicans were often brought down on corruption involving money, while Democrats were usually tossed for sex. Sure, Democrat/Republican isn’t the same as left/right, but just like those subjective ideological descriptors, the politician’s Achilles Heels have been getting fuzzier over the years.

Well, the Dems get a pass on all future sexual escapades after Clenis. He singlehandedly made “blow job” a household word and the equivalent of holding hands for an entire generation of teenagers. As for the financial shenanigins, both parties are equally as quick to steal from all of us.
