The Party of Hypocrisy is running the country now.
Can you hear the outrage over a Republican saying: "...but the who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?"
Do you think the Democrats would be silent?
You bet your macaca, they wouldn't!
There would be an uproar. It would splatter the headlines for weeks. Calls for resignation would resound. But not when Democrats insult. And the Democrats stick together when a bro' speaks out.
Nope, Democrat leaders show that they really are hypocrites and racists. It's only when Republicans have a slip of the tongue, is it a sin.Democratic congressman from New York says he wasn't trying to insult Mississippi in published remarks Thursday, but a Republican colleague from Mississippi says Rep. Charles Rangel should apologize to the state.
Rangel, D-N.Y., was quoted in a Thursday article in The New York Times, saying: "Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?"
Rep. Chip Pickering, R-Miss., issued a news release criticizing Rangel's words. "I hope his remarks are not the kind of insults, slander, and defamation that Mississippians will come to expect from the Democrat leadership in Washington, D.C.," Pickering said.
Elbert Garcia, Rangel's press secretary in New York, said Rangel had received calls Thursday about the Mississippi quote.
Garcia e-mailed The Associated Press a response from Rangel: "I certainly don't mean to offend anyone, I just love New York so much that I can't understand why everyone wouldn't want to live here."
Rangel is the ranking Democrat on Ways and Means, and is in line to become chairman of the powerful tax-writing committee. The New York Times article was about how the New York congressional delegation gained political clout in the midterm elections. Rangel said, among other things, that he wants to direct more federal money to his state.
Michelle Malkin has more.
