PPSIMMONS: So Mr. Rangel - what I am allowed to say about - THE BLACK PANTHERS? Same group of .... Hmmmm.
In an interview with the Daily Beast published Friday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) suggested Tea Partiers are the "same group" who fought for segregation during the Civil Rights movement.
"It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didn't care about how they looked," Rangel said.
Because of this, Rangel said the Tea Party could be defeated using the same tactics employed against Jim Crow.
"It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. 'I don't want to see it and I am not a part of it.' What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break," said Rangel.
