Funny, I could say the same about you on several occasions in the past. 

What *I* saw was Rangel publically comparing Bush to a despicable racist of the 60's. I saw Rangel produce absolutely nothing to back up his comparison.  I saw Rangel refuse to acknowledge  actual facts (see below) that do not support his hateful comparison and I saw Rangel using a natural disaster for political gain. Who wouldn't lose their cool? For O'Reilly it was a complete exercise in futility. At least Rangel had the balls to go on the show and attempt to justify his ridiculous comparison.

You know, thanks to Charlie, and Cindy, and Howard and to a lesser degree yourself, democrats may never produce another president. Your blinding hatred is not going to win any sympathy with most Americans. It's all going to come back and bite you in the ass. You realize that don't you?

BTW Here you go Dan. It's all out there if you had the desire to find it yourself.
