Charlie Rangel Calls Saracuda "Disabled"
Charlie Rangel, the socialist looter who as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is in charge of writing our confiscatory tax laws, yet who cheats on his own taxes, explains why his fellow Dems fear Sarah Palin:
You got to be kind to the disabled.
An astonished reporter asked him to confirm that he really wanted to swallow his foot in front of a microphone.
Reporter: "You got to be kind to the disabled?"
Rangel: "Yes."
Reporter: "She's disabled?"
Rangel elaborated:
There's no question about it politically. It's a nightmare to think that a person's foreign policy is based on their ability to look at Russia from where they live.
Now he's in spin mode, taking sanctimonious affront that anyone would object to his obnoxiousness:
Any inference that my words were in any connected to her son, Trig, who was born with Down syndrome, is a real stretch — and, I would have to think — a way to make political points out of my poor choice of words.
No need for Charlie to be so concerned. If his constituency doesn't object to his ties to communists, they're not going to mind this.

Even without considering Trig Palin, what an immature and inappropriate thing to say. You can't attack her policies so you call her disabled? Well done...

Its even more scary to have someone like Obama at the top of the ticket whose foreign policy experience is limited to traveling overseas as a child and cavorting with radical Muslims in Pakistan 20 years ago.

He's just practicing the usual "care and compassion" we've come to expect from the left. What a disgusting thing to say. If you don't like her policies, then comment on her policies. To attack her personally is to show that you have no rebuttal to her political stances.

This is the oldest trick in the book. Say something, then claim "poor choice of words".
"Senator Heem lashed out at his opponent today, claiming that he was sodomizing his children. When questioned later that day, he denied the report saying he misspoke. 'What I meant to say was that ANY sodomy with children is unacceptable.'"
Or as the apocryphal story goes, Lyndon Johnson when running for the senate told his campaign manager to start a rumor than his opponent was having conjugal relations with a barnyard sow.
"Hell, Lyndon...we can't call him a pig f#*&er!"
Johnson said "Just make him deny it."
These gutless ward-heelers have nothing left but hate and personal smears. I hope the conservatives clean their collective clocks this November.

Rangel and Moore -- two perfect examples of the pathetically dismal state of the Left in this country. Talk about "disabled" (mentally, I mean)! Poster-boys, anyone?

As Ace of Spades said:
"Man Who Didn't Realize $5000 Per Year in Luxury-Home Rentals Was Taxable Income Calls Sarah Palin Mentally 'Disabled.'"
