His “analysis” is the Tea Party is responsible for fighting civil rights. Leaving aside it didn’t even exist at the time, the rest of his article is similar gobbledegook.
Via HuffPost:
Harlem Democratic congressman Charles Rangel predictably took much heat when he flatly called the Tea Party “white crackers.” He said this is the bunch that fought civil rights. By that Rangel meant the civil rights and voting rights bills in the 1960s, and affirmative action programs from the 1970s to the present. For that, they’ve demanded everything from an apology and now his resignation from Congress. Rangel’s seemingly over-the-top racial broadside against the Tea Party was vintage Rangel. The congressman is no stranger to controversy and his shoot from the lip, pull no punches jibes at foes and even sometime friends is near legendary. But should Rangel apologize for his blanket indictment of the Tea Party as racist, and doing it with a racial pejorative to boot? Absolutely not; the problem with all the feigned indignation and hurt feelings is that his blast rings true.
