Just as soon as you and yours get over the "N" and and understand the point its makers are trying to make.

I stumbled onto this blog regarding crime and poverty in Appalachia. Pretty interesting:

You should tell that to your left wing idiot buddies who refuse to believe that anyone who disagrees with Obama dos it for any reason other than racism.

Well, since the Tea Party did not exist at the time you cite, it would have to be none. But that doesn't fit with your attempted narrative. Got to keep stoking the false fires of racism at all costs, don't you?

And "maybe" you just provided a prime example of your racial and political bigotry. Using "maybe" (a statement made by you) as proof of your beliefs.

Rangel: Tea partiers are like “white crackers” who opposed civil rights - Salon.com
Rangel, like Sharpton and Jackson are "black klansman". Liberals have culled the nation into believing that racism among blacks is "acceptable". NO LIBERAL ever corrects them or condemns their behavior, so they of course presume it is acceptable.

Why don't we have the "C word" to go along with the "N word"? Answer- racism

He should be censured for this. Comparing the opposing party, who you are supposed to work with, to terrorists is unacceptable and he needs to be held accountable. This is behavior that is unbecoming of a member of The Congress.

Then I suppose you would not consider it racist to use a term associated primarily with race to be racist either.

Once again, an example of democratic double standards.

The "Tea Party" has turned into a racist hate group based upon the blathering of some high ranking Democratic leaders that the MSM loves to put in headlines.

Ron Paul started the Tea Party. It was "Taxed Enough Already" and it included all Americans.

That it has turned into a reincarnation of the KKK and believed by people is pretty telling on just how successful propaganda is.

Why is this a controversy?

Rangel should not have used the term "white cracker." Period. Anyone justifying it is twisting themselves into a pretzel of absurdity.

I am mostly liberal and this is highly inappropriate for an elected official, just as if a white politician unnecessarily used some racially charged word against another minority, or if, say, a Hispanic politician talked about "gringos."

Just don't do it, period. And if you must make excuses for it, don't do it for people who are outside the group the slur is directed towards.

Why is that so hard?
