This is for Charles Snotty Rangel and his assessment of Dean

[Scott Lee]

Here is a pro Dean gathering at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina. Now, call me crazy but I see lots of Black people in attendance.

Charley....paging Charley Rangel...

1. poop :-). But seriously, check Kerry's responses out on CSPAN now.

He explains Biden Lugar near the end. Approximately 20 min.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

2. I see black people!

:hi:

[oasis]

3. Was this a DK function?

[ThirdWheelLegend]

5. She looks a little blurry. No pun intended. :-)

[Paul Hood]

6. Medicated glory, great

I just recently saw the Mr. Show DVD so I love your screen name.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

11. I am an addict, I admit

Mr. Show is one of my all time favorites. :0

My roommate and I are so addicted to the show that we actually notice when days go by where we don't quote a Mr. Show line.

sick, isn't it?

28. I see Bush too 4 from the left.

[DemBones DemBones]

7. DUH! Benedict College has a 100% black student body.

Dean can't get blacks to come to him so he goes to a black college for photo ops.

[oasis]

9. Bribed them with pizza and pepsi.

[stickdog]

39. Not fried chicken & watermelon?

Obviously Dean has no understanding of black culture.

He should take a tip from John Kerry & Theresa Heinz:

10. Yeah I was waiting for this comment

lame

[DemBones DemBones]

15. Too bad Scott Lee didn't know what he was talking about, right?

It really IS lame to post a picture taken at an all-black college as proof that blacks support Dean. All it proves is that college kids will go hear a politician speaking on campus.

[Scott Lee]

33. What it proves is that Rangel is a full of shit Insider.

And that's all it proves.

[incapsulated]

13. heh

If you can't get some black Dean supporters at an all black college, you really would be in trouble..

Rangel Rocks! :)

[oasis]

16. Question: Is Dean even in the pic?

[DoveTurnedHawk]

36. And If You Can't Get Black Supporters To Come Out in Harlem

You would really be in trouble, too.

Oh, wait a minute...

;-)

DTH, Just Funnin'

[Melodybe]

18. divide and conquer, that is what Uncle Karl wants you to do

[DemBones DemBones]

22. Hey, your fellow Deanie, Mr. Scott Lee, referred to Charlie Rangel,

as "Snotty." HE trashed a fine Democrat, Rep. Rangel, so perhaps you should talk to him about "Uncle Karl."

[JohnKleeb]

23. Ive always liked Rangel

Rangel has been with us since before my time and when my parents were kids. He's a damn good democrat who I saw Hannity trash one time. I dont like the draft bill, but Charley is a fine democrat. I dont know about this university but it does seem like its one of those black historical colleges you hear about from what pepole say.

[SahaleArm]

24. The draft bill was a political ploy because...

it did not allow for 'rich boy' exemptions; no Republican would ever sign it.

[JohnKleeb]

25. Thats true, I am aware of that

Hes still a good man IMO, I understand his motivations behind it, and Clark is lucky to have his endorsement, Rangel has been at the job there for a while and is well respected.

[JI7]

27. RIGHT

he was making a point. and he sure made it with no republicans supporting it. and as you say, it was because the bill was made so the rich could not get out of serving as before that no republican supported it. rangel is a good man. and he always kicks right wing ass when i see him.

[bearfartinthewoods]

40. are you referencing the original snotty post?

[Scott Lee]

32. And what's the Black population of Harlem?

Thanks in advance.

[kayleybeth]

8. This is for Charles Rangel and his assessment of Dean

Spot on! Thanks for endorsing Wesley Clark!

[Rocinante]

12. Snotty Rangel?

That helps.

[Julien Sorel]

14. Hilarious.

One of the most funny pieces of Deanite astroturfing ever. Benedict College is a black college -- any gathering of supporters of any candidate or cause there is likely to be almost entirely black.

There's a group for Republicans there, too. Shall the Republicans take a picture and use it to prove how inclusive they are?

[formactv]

20. It's the New America

I have trouble with. I liked the pre-2002 America.

[formactv]

21. Make that pre-2000.

Typo.

[DemBones DemBones]

17. Paging Mr. Lee! Your assumptions about what this photo prove

are sadly wrong.

Time for an apology to Charlie Rangel, a great Democrat, who was correct in his assessment of Dean having to go to Harlem -- or an all-black college -- to get blacks around him.

[Scott Lee]

34. I can understand your ire. It hurts when icons fall.

But, there it is. I used to like Mr. Rangel alot too. But with that cheap swipe at Dean he has outed himself as a JAWI (Just Another Washington Insider). He hates Dean because Dean is an outsider candidate standing to shake up the infrastructure that keeps Snotty Charley in that plush chair in D.C. instead of suffering the inconveniences of working in his home district.

[VermontDem2004]

19. Not like it matters

It was probaly a prodimently black college anyways but you can show all the photos you want. I can show you photos where Dean has black people showing up at events in Iowa but it doesn't prove anything, I don't show up at Dean gatherings but I support him. But the thing that bothers me is posting pictures and counting how many black people are in it, like it fucking matters. How about talking about the large gatherings Dean has at events? How about how much money Dean is raising? How about how many people who never been involved in politics before is involved in Dean's campaign. The point of the election is to have the most people vote for you and sometimes that isn't enough. BTW I seen a poll where the only candidate besides Sharpton that had the most black support was Dean, but the only polls that count are the ones cast on election day. Hopefully this will be my last post on GD, this place really has changed since I signed up at DU. People nitpicking about every little thing a candidate does, people fighting about the same shit for about a week sometimes more about democrats. It just ceases to amaze me what the hell happened, Skinner added new rules, changed rules simply because of shit like this. There are personal assualts(verbally) on fellow DUers simply because they support another candidate. I can understand explaining why in your opinion this candidate is better on the issues then this other guy on the issues but it got way beyond that and out of line.

[Scott Lee]

37. Thank you.

You're right, it doesn't really matter and that was the subtext to this thread. It doesn't matter how many Blacks showed up for Dean or didn't in this place or another. What matters is that this guy has the most support, the most money and the highest chance of unseating the Warchimp. Sadly, Snotty Charley has opted for the case of the Kingmakers and took a lame shot at Dean.

How the once mighty, fall.

[jumptheshadow]

26. Rangel is a great public servant

He has worked hard and served this country well and has made more of a difference than you or I could in 10 lifetimes.

He passionately abhors the idea of four more years of Bush.

The man is entitled to his opinions. The primaries have not been cancelled, as much as some of you want that to be the case.

[DemBones DemBones]

29. Hear, hear! Rangel is a good Democrat. n/t

[JI7]

31. he sure is

i love the guy .

[eileen_d]

30. Maybe you should e-mail it to Mr. Rangel himself

:think:

[Walt Starr]

35. Poop

:hurts:

[JI7]

38. "snotty" rangel ?

no, rangel is one of the best we have in congress. clark is very lucky to get his endorsement.

[salin]

42. agreed.

on both points.

[mitchum]

41. kick

[jpgpenn]

43. They are probaly watching the...

White folks holding up the Dean signs in the Gore, Dean moment in Harlem. LOL. Too bad he could find anyone black folks there to play along.

You could keep trying but it isn't working.
