RANGEL: AN ATTACK ON BUSH IS AN ATTACK ON ALL AMERICANS... 'You do not come into my country, my congressional district, and you do not condemn my president. If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not. I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chavez or any other president, do not come to the United States and think because we have problems with our president that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our Chief of State'...
The problem is that these thugs and despots around the world do NOT understand our system of government or our national sensibilities. They think that because WE feel free to criticize, it’s okay for them to do likewise – and it isn’t.
But, before anyone starts pinning roses on Charlie Rangel (who is a very smart politician), he was doing it at least partly for very self-serving reasons. Had the Democrats, who are the principal (only) purveyors of BDS, NOT condemned Hugo Chavez in no uncertain terms, outraged Americans could easily have lumped all Dems into the same stinking pot of sewage (which all too often is where their actions cause them to belong) as Chavez. Hence, Nancy Pelosi – not the sharpest tool in the shed but still smarter than Chavez – calls him a “thug”. Then there is [sigh] former President William Jefferson Clinton who, as usual, wanted to have his cake and eat it too – so, again as usual, he equivocated and offered only a lame protest at the insults hurled by this primitive Venezuelan cretin. But make no mistake, there were no DEM protests when their beloved “Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan was cozying up to Chavez and that tells me all I need to know about their sincerity in THIS matter.
