Rangel: I Should Be Held to a Higher Standard

[YourFaceWillDie468]

Why does he sound like Barney Frank in this video?

[dakotahnova]

I'm as liberal as it gets ... and I hate this man

[damoparman1]

i just now watched washington journal with charlie as the guest---he is just like obama---time for allmost no callers because he sucks up all the time by going on and on and on---thats a tactic---he said that there was no tax on his property because there was no income on it because he used all the money to pay down the morgage---wouldnt that be nice---take the amount of tax you owe and pay it on the note so you can have it paid off quicker hmm that would be nice---but im not a congressman

[meccaturbo]

Charlie Rangel, what a fucking dirty jigaboo from the New York ghetto...

[IconsOfTeleplay]

On Tuesday 11 September 2001, W.T.C. 7 (although it was hit by no plane) collapsed, @ free-fall speed, 20 minutes AFTER the B.B.C. announced its demise. Some conspiracy theorists claim that 19 Arabs, who appear on no passenger-lists, crashed jumbo jets into 3 landmark buildings at 580 M.P.H. Of course that speed exceeds design & structural tolerances for air buses at elevations below 1,000 feet as the drag rips them apart.

[RTMRome]

get a teleprompter homie

[Hightower187]

This man is not a democrat, he's acting more like a republican lol

[WinstonSmith6079]

@Hightower187 Nah, he's a Post-Modern Democrat alright. He's a real shoe-in for that! LOLOLOLOLOLOL LMAO! But go ahead and keep trying to deny that fact that everyone already knows! LOLOLOLOLOLOL HAHAHAHA!

[JRooster101]

@Hightower187

Whaddayamean? He doesn't WORK for his money.

[FTWEVERYONE]

Lock up @ANGLE @RANGLE !

[housetaboo]

scum bag !

[k3304]

gutless white politicians won't put Charlie in jail like Trafficante

[thedoctor949]

its frank pantangali from godfather part 2

[lar5220]

The only reason allot of these fucks become democratic politicians is they no that it's much easy to steal and when you do get busted nobody going to do anything about it Most the shit they are doing is all bullshit not helping anyone but themselves

[SirWinstonChurchill]

Rangel should be held to a higher standard... as a prison bitch...

[iiwatcher]

IOW, he should be above the law right? Fucking California raisin lookin' muthafucka! & to all you racist pricks & mindless neocons & libtards--they got you mindless ideologue sheep playing right into their hands on both corrupt sides. Mindless fucks the whole lot 'o ya!

[kev3d]

He reminds me of Frankie Pentangeli from the Godfather II

[bishopm5]

Sounds real sincere lol

[gkent101]

What a pompass mutherfkr

[rydeto]

political service was never meant to be a career and this proves it , the lack of sincerity just by the way he reads this is disgusting. shame on you rangel . now that you are caught i wish to see what kind of dignity and integrity you have before you throw the stolen money at the lawyers to fix it.

[kentucky9000]

Mr. Rangel is held to a much higher standerd True. And no one is to blame but Mr. Rangel...!  for his Action and what he does, he got laxed in his job and he got cought.

[savemyplaylist]

Typical nigger, they should hang this rotten piece of shit with the rest of the monkeys

[knowledgethief]

lulz, its funny watching him read this off so; disingenuous! this guy is a nut! his laughable antics will be missed (for the sake of amusment) when he inevitably resigns but at least its good to know there will always be many more buffoon politicians to look at and laugh.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Rangel: I Should Be Held to a Higher Standard . . .. but since I am a Democrat, I won't be!!

[notbestfriends]

Never in America's history have we had, until now, such an anti capitalism President and an Administration filled with so many misfits, liars, incompetents, tax cheats, marxists, radicals & big government despots.

"Change" we will make in November.

[iiwatcher]

@notbestfriends Lmfao. You're a MORON. Go to the "terlet" & make room for more McDonalds & GTFOH ya fat goon. Hopefully you'll get that aneurysm & clean the gene pool.

[notbestfriends]

@iiwatcher

Wow, such an intelligent rebuttal. Like Charlie, you're just a ghetto thug. lol

[iiwatcher]

@notbestfriends Fuck Charlie--he's a fucking corrupt asshole & looks like one of the California Raisins. Fuck you too, neocorn faggot. Your comment is so stupid you can't be taken seriously. Read a fucking history book moron. Oh sorry you can't read complex text--only talking points bullshit & w/e the Teevee tells you. As a political ideologue moron you're no better than Rangel. Keep up that lib vs con mentality moron. Both sides are laughing all the way to power---& the bank @ your expense.

[notbestfriends]

@iiwatcher

Lets see, you're either unemployed & living on welfare or have a gov. job. lol

[iiwatcher]

@notbestfriends Stop projecting fatass.

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , why don't you comment on Dancing With The Stars ? This is beyond your comprehension

[iiwatcher]

@k3304 More dodging & diversion! Was Nixon black? Delay? Keep running bitch! Many of Bush's pardons? XD

Go watch Fux Nooz neocorn!

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , aren"t you drowning in a glass of water ? 2012 can't come soon enough you, huh ? i have a rock you can crawl within==

[iiwatcher]

@k3304 More emtpy rhetoric in the face of direct evidence. When all else fails...be cliched & ineptly attempt being cryptic. XD

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , Charlie is actually AGAINST the Bush tax cuts because Charlie would rather CHEAT on his taxes

[iiwatcher]

Yup Rangel cheated on his taxes and he's black. Any more startling revelations? And Nixon was white, Delay is white, and Bush (honorary Bin Laden family member) is white. In a word, Haliburton. What makes you a corrupt, dishonest, stupid piece of shit is your refusal too see both sides. You don't care about what's true, only about your partisan political agenda & your social agenda (You're a RACIST). You & Rangel have a lot in common in terms of dishonesty at least. Keep the hilarity coming. XD

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , in your world 2 wrongs make a right. The people you mentioned didnt cheat on their taxes. Trafficante did and went to jail. Rangle did and is walking the streets. One white and one black.

[iiwatcher]

@k3304 More ad-hocs & straw men. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Both are wrong; that's what I've been saying all along idiot. Corruption is corruption. whether it be taxes or anything else. Corruption is not limited to black people moron. Other whites have also gotten away with cheating on their taxes. You're just a dumb racist. Your novelty is starting to wear off. Try harder to amuse me.

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , yeah you want Charlie to walk around. And i never questioned your race. I couldnt care less what race you are. I couldnt care less about you period.

[iiwatcher]

Is straw man arguments all you can generate? I do not want Rangel to walk. Rangel is corrupt. He should be punished. But he did not get away with anything bc he's black. That's an absurd claim stemming from your racism. Plenty of whites evade taxes too and do not go to jail. You can't see both sides bc you're an ideologue racist moron & if you don't care then why respond? oh yeah bc you're hurt & humiliated by the truth & the fact that you have zero counter. Keep rambling. I like the show. XD

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , those gutless white people on the panel were afraid the blacks would riot and burn Harlem down. If you don't think race is irrelivant anymore then youre a bigger dope than i thought.

[iiwatcher]

No, it's bc he's a congressman. Many white congressman have gotten away with worse. Keep ducking, racist. "If you don't think race is irrelivant anymore then youre a bigger dope than i thought."

"irrelivant" Bwahahaha!!! it's official! You're a drooling RETARD! Yes, I agree! His color is IRRELEVANT to the issue. Thank you! XD

PS: I thought you didn't care what I thought? Why are you still replying? Oh yeah bc you're hurt bad by my ownage. You're trapped & compelled by my mastery over you! XD

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , gee whiz you must be one of those "intellectual" liberals who try to impress people with their intellect. Wow, im really fucking impressed. Try not to keep your head held high too long. It's bad for your circulation looking down at the little people.

[iiwatcher]

@k3304 you resort to Ad-hominem attack due to zero ability to counter valid points.

; )

LMFAO @ "gee wiz."

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , yeah maybe youre right. I can only think of one congressman who did worse and never spent time in jail. His name was Gerry Studds and he was fucking a 17 year old male page and never spent a day in jail. Studds was never, ever ashamed and said the relationship was consentual.

[iiwatcher]

More BILGE. Still the fact remains that corruption exists on both sides & politicians from both sides get away with breaking the law & it has nothing to do with skin color. Pubs/cons are corrupt. Politics in general is corrupt. You buy into political & racist ideology bc you're a low-life who doesn't care about what's true. Still the fact remains that that you deny these truths. Still the fact remains that you're a racist. Ur still a moron w/ transparent talking points. Kudos cellophane boy! XD

[k3304]

@iiwatcher , the fact of the matter is that Charley Rangle "was" one of the biggest racists in congress, which you fail to consider. And if you don't believe there is (black) racism in the system , then youre a bigger dope than i thought.

[iiwatcher]

@k3304 Changing the subject i see-yet another cheap tactic of the desperate and owned. LOL But ok, I'll bite bc you just got entertaining again. I was worried there for a minute bc you were getting boring. way to come through for me my little monkey! Like I said, I don't care about him, but just for fun: You may be right or wrong. For me to know you have to show proof. Prove he was/is a racist. Show me instances of his racism. Waiting...

[1776rebel]

Yesterday Obama said on CBS that he hoped Rangel would retire now.

Finally!!!

[ECwashr]

T Jefferson said you must elect good honest people to make sure you keep the criminals out of gov. TOO late, the pres on down, nothing but LIARS, crooks, thiefs. You can bet rangel and now waters will be playing the race card like stink on a Bigfoot. "Look at us, we're black, we should be able to get away with anything". GOD help us and r dommed country..

[bestringtail]

To all members of government and high societies. Your lies, arrogance, and deception will work in todays greedy world, but what will you do when your turn comes to enter the pearly gates. The judge whom you find there can not be hood winked, bought off or out voted by crooks. guess what? THERE REALLY IS SUCH A THING AS JUSTICE. WAIT AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF.

[bestringtail]

When you compare this clump of saprophyte cells to any of our founding fathers, it is so easy to see through rangel for what he really is. The same goes for pelosi, dodd, kennedy, reid, boxer, feinstein, etc. What a sad day for America. This is the result of voters not knowing who they are voting for and especially what they stand for. Today, I believe it is possible for a bull moose to be elected to any office in this land. SAD! SAD!SAD!

[sohooded]

ANOTHER CROOKED, GREEDY POLITICIAN

[Baldgol4]

This guy and the late John Scum-Bag Murtha both went to the same school on how to be a political thief.

[myHome109]

Mr. Rangel's tax evasion cost someone their job. His movement of American paid salary was used to purchase off shore property stimulating off shore economies not American. His purchase of off shore home cost American forecloser for not investing in America. VOTE DEMOCRATS FOR CHANGE! Democrats for Tax Evasion and stimulation of foreign countries with USA tax payer funds! Vote Obama Change! Support your local and national political tax evader!

[Cpt163]

This crook should be indicted and imprisoned indefinitely on charges of violating civil liberties for his sponsorship of HR 5741.

[FTWEVERYONE]

@RANGEL = Typical politician= @CROOK !

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

Fuck you AP, you're irrelevent, and probably a snot nosed little fucker! Propaganda!!!!

[samsoxfan1234]

VOTE JONATHAN TASINI REAL DEMOCRAT FOR CHANGE FOR CONGRESS IN THE 15 DISTRICT. GET RANGEL OUT OF THERE.

[beefyMaK]

tar and feather this piece of shit already.

[awm0912]

Charles Rangel is a worthless racist piece of shit who should be in jail for tax evasion. Fuck you and die Charlie.

[GordonMorrice]

Bowtie politicians are EXTRA creepy.

[MrPanchettahead]

He is such a dick and a coon liar!

[Entropy161]

@MrPanchettahead ...And you're a dick and an Inbred liar.

Congratulations, asshole...

[Jeremy092387]

This mother fucker needs to just fucking die already. He is bullshitting outta his ass. You can blatantly tell how insincere he is.

[b1lc1s]

Just another criminal - 'leading' the country. Speaking of embarrassment - you are it!

[ACourtRep]

Charlie looked more sincere when he told Jason Mattera to mind his own GD business, when asked about tax evasion and his taxpayer Cadillac.

[Godzilla1909]

this guy is a piece of SHIT

[jd426999]

and as was said already.. He is either ILLITERATE, or its the FIRST time he has even SEEN that Apology Letter he is READING. HE obviously didnt write it.

[musicforte]

So politics isn't his thing, but what a great voice! I'd really like to hear him sing some Joe Cocker. Notice the verbal inflection at 1:40.

[arslp]

And the millions of dollars you did not claim on your taxes while you were busy telling the rest of us what taxes we should pay?

Your amended returns did not meet with the same interest and penalties that the rest of ours would have, did they Charlie, you THIEF?

YOU and NANCY PELOSI are megalomaniacs that need to GO HOME!!!!

[m22af91]

he's not sorry. notice there's NO eye contact with the camera,.

[GordonMorrice]

@PROUDDADDYDANIELS I know! Unbelievable.

[thinkaboutit27]

He's reading it like he doesn't care. I talk like that when I am reading something I have to.

[missyinal]

Mr. Rangel, We're holding you to a lesser standard than taxpaying busboys. So go ahead and resign, Congressman Rangel. You are an embarassment.

[scotthallseviltwin]

People of Rangels dist in NYC . ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS POMPOUS ARROGANT JERK? Anyone else in the real world pulled the stunts Rangel has pulled. You would be looking at fines penalties prison etc.....

[Shinerbop]

They are black, they know he is a criminal, and don't care. Blacks can do no wrong, everything for them is about fighting "the man"

[LibertarianinMA]

Didn't you all know? Those tax laws... They only apply to the little people. Surely, our elected representatives could not be expected to live up to the same standards they set for ordinary, tax-paying citizens. Rangel (like most Democrats) would like to sum this up to a race issue because it's easier than taking on the real issue: Rangel is a tax cheat and he should step down. He is -not- too big to fail.

[StoogeWatcher]

Rangel has ZERO standards!

[ziggyty]

This is why affirmative action doesnt work

[kxmode]

Beware of politicians wearing bow-ties!

[LiberalsSuckBallz]

Rangel is a true pile of manatee sh*t

[mumzdcp]

How funny...dems apologize and all is forgiven? WTF?

[ewultd]

Why.......is Charles Rangel READING and apology? Can he not state such things from the heart and mind instead of a written apology?

Nothing but a scripted political press conference, a pure lie.

Jeff

[tonyosvaldo]

If the the Rangel Rule Act of 2009,HR735

becomes Law all the rich tax evaders with offshore accounts will get away

with not having to pay interest, penalty and/or

prison time.

[MrBRITBRIGHT]

Ahh "cureworks" caught in a tuff spot a again...between betraying race or just admitting this lump of shit got were he is because of AA and his left wing agenda......and taxes oops dat justa slips my mind. TERM LIMITS!!!!!!

[cureworks]

When I heard that Rangel was going to take over the Ways & Means committee, I knew the country was in economic danger.

In the 80's and 90's I got only cold stares as I would tell him about strategies to deal with crack, AIDS, the environment, health impact of 5 open sewers and the need to computerize the population.

This poverty pimp and others are being caught by the machines they fought so hard to keep out of Harlem, computers. JOY!!! Truth is setting us free of poverty pimps.

[Edhallick]

Why isn`t this guy in jail? Seriously, how does a guy become a multi-milionaire on a 6 figure income? I`m so sick to death of this crap. The IRS has taken over my bank account and garnished my pay checks all because I owe them $5000, that`s right ONLY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, but this POS who owes millions is taking vacations and waltzing around umpteen apartments.

[dkkght46]

Rep. Charles Rangel failed to report as much as $1.3 million in outside income — including up to $1 million for a Harlem building sale — on financial-disclosure forms he filed between 2002 and 2006, according to newly amended records.

You know, they could give us all a tax break if democrats would only pay their fair share and be patriotic Americans.

The obama administration, the most corrupt, inept, anti American and socialist in American history.

[xyberfunk]

no.. he should be arrested and put in jail. why in the hell is this scumbag not behind bars? what is going on with American justice?

[cevnext]

affirmative action from its highest levels....gee nice to see we are so diverse and not all applies to all Americans.....guess us subjects should mozzie on back to da small house and gets ready fo works in da merrning. Sho nuff missa rangel we does what da big paper saz we gots ta do, but don't ya frets nune cuz we gots ya back boss!!!

[cureworks]

Forgive me but fmr. Pres. George Bush, VP Cheney, Congressman Rangel, Ken Lay, fmr. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, greed, evil, stupid, liars, etc., have nothing to do with affirmative action, race or economics.

We all have some of each other in us by now. Consider focusing on We The People so we can remove the evil that is killing us from our institutions.

Together, we can make it happen now. Imagine.

[MrWasp420]

we're all fucked

[cureworks]

Yeah we're all fucked, but we can shift this and make it the good kind that comes from working together.

I think we should end hemp prohibition and use that tax money to solve our problems now.

[libertarian1951]

Well, let's see. Months have gone by and Charlie still hasn't paid his taxes. But seeing how he can barely read his own writing, he is where he truly belongs ... in the United States Congress. WAKE UP New York! Get rid of this national embarassment!!

[cureworks]

I was impressed that he can read at all. I assumed he was illiterate based on the policies he approved and the condition of Harlem in the 70's-90's.

[soicuw]

oh, SOOOOOO sincere...

[johngaltexpres]

What an idiot. Ron Paul should explain this video in its fundamentals... why he is crooked and why more of him will sit in congress.

[soicuw]

I can't believe he is just reading from a sheet.

I think Ron Paul should take his seat on the Ways and Means committee!

[cureworks]

Great idea. How can we make Congressman Ron Paul the head of the House Ways and Means committee?

[soicuw]

good question, lol. Fellow representatives vote chairmen of committees into their positions so he probably won't get it unless things really, really, change in 2010

[mikethetiger]

Wow... great effort there, Charlie.

[moolaroo]

Rangel is a lying PUTZ...he can't even read the statement that was prepared for him. I have never heard anyone sound so insincere in my life. They ought to can his ass. He sat up there 2 weeks ago and said that the stimulus infrastructure projects should NOT go to white men? He's a racist n*gger - useless parasite who came from Harlem and has made millions stealing from the american taxpayers.

[Dontgupt208]

Apparently, the House of Representatives and, in particular, Speaker Nancy Pelosi have a "zero tolerance" policy for everyone but Charlie Rangel. If he is not required to give up his Chairmanship of the Ways & Means Committee, which writes the tax laws that the rest of us are expected to follow, then both he and the Speaker should be forced to resign from Congress. And, a President elected by promising "change" should be pushing for that to happen.

[jnkhd]

Rengel was a key player in keeping Caribbean tax loopholes open for Nabors Industries (which conveniently donated $1M to the Charles B. Rangel..swallow...School of Public Service project) and 3 other US Corporations, costing taxpayers $1B+ over the last decade. By the way, black and white is irrelevent in Wahington; they're almost all yellow and they care only about green.

[RAPHLL01]

Rangle is a crook. Always was and always will be.

[MrConservativeGuy]

Is there any footage of him reading exerpts from Shakespeare or how about "Little Red Riding Hood"???? This man ia a TRUE representative of the Democrat Party.

[noemisdad]

well this pretty much settles it, when Pelosi gets tossed out on her ass Rangel will be the next Speaker of the House. The popularity of Black men always rises after they commit crimes, you know that underdog black against whitey kind of thing.

[gregyman49]

another note. why is it you dont see Obamas grand parents campain for him ? I know their just typical white people but really where are they? why isnt the media smoking them out? they have an army after Palin. they libs have been exposed for what they are. and it will come home to roost nov. 4th keep on talking libs ! you are rallying our side Palin is awesome Mccain poked Obama in the eye hahahahaha

[gregyman49]

this guy belongs in prison. but this is what you get when you have someone from harlem on top. looks like his chickens are coming hom to roost. damn right whites dont trust blacks because this is what you get. blacks vote for Obama simply because he is 8% black. dishonest and race baiting will serve to drive whites to Mccain and he will win by landslide.

[zinale1966]

Your mouth full of snakes. You guys stupid, ugly, go to the Hell. Kiss the Obama's ass.

Have you ever went to school, hey old bastard.

[Edel99]

This guy - dam CROOK...Wheres the IRS?

[whtmts]

Rangel's comment insulting Palin is typical of Demonrat tactics. I hope he keeps on talking him self right out of office.

Sarah Palin is awesome and Americans love her and her beautiful family. When he liberals insult the disabled they show they can't sink any lower than they already are.

I hope the Demonrats go down in flames.

[RonaldeRobinson]

If Tom DeLay had skipped out on his taxes and had four subsidized apartments like Rangel he would be in jail already. This is the most corrupt Congress ever if they don't throw this crook out.

[pennieless]

go fuck yourself lying fagot. glorified welfare crook.

[milehigh587]

typical crooked dummocrat. when they get caught they want to pay up and not go to prison. pathetic. this guy should be rotting in prison right now. Obama will lose in November and it will be the 8th time in 11 tries they have lost

[clayp72]

If this were a Republican, the Dems would be screeching for them to resign and want hearings, investigations, and more hearings on the investigations. This guy is either a crook or an idiot but the great minds in the "special made" districts will keep re-electing him. Idiots.

[hearingjuan]

No no no no no. This man has to stay. He is single handedly stopping Nancy Pelosi and Wall Street from letting Secretary of Treasury Paulson make the American Tax Payers pay for Freddie and Fannie. Thats why this whole thing blew up, not because they actually care that this man had some sort of unethical Investment, if that were the case half of congress would be thrown in prison(and thats a generous estimate).

[clericimachine]

Rangel has always been an ego filled idiot.

Resign!

[KineticOne]

Do us all a favor and resign.

[ScottyDog2]

Charles Rangel is as crooked as they come. The fact he is reading a written statement by taxpayer funded legal counsel should tell you all you need to know.

The guy cannot even tell the truth without his lawyer providing his response.

He should resign immediately and be prosecuted by the US Government for tax evasion like everyone else would be prosecuted as a private citizen.

I always thought this guy was a pile of excrement and this proves it.

[asuperstar]

He's reading and that is the only thing that is for sure in this scene. He can always say this is not a personally statement but a trial balloon. Read Read Read, make some mistake Blah Blah Blah i should not be held accountable for any crimes because i am head of a really really reeeeaallllyy immportant committee. Now let's get back to conscripting children into military schools.
