Piling on Charlie Rangel. Piling on Maxine Waters. Demonizing Shirley Sherrod. Ignoring the Senate candidacy of the great Kendrick Meek in Florida. Ignoring the Congressional Black Caucus's general needs for autumn 2010. The continuing humiliations of New York Governor David Patterson. The slapdown of Alabama Congressman Artur Davis, who came to the defense of Rangel, Waters, Sherrod and Patterson.What a man Obama is! -- struttin' his stuff and pickin' on all the right (or in this case Left) people.
Danny Schechter and Bob Parry with a couple terrific pieces on the singling out of Waters and Rangel -- for political corruption in 2010 D.C.! To paraphrase Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now: "Charging a man with corruption in this place is like giving out speeding tickets at the Indianapolis 500."
