Salon: Why’s GOP calling Rangel “crooked Harlem Democrat”?
Thats easy! Its because the GOP is America’s Racist Party. And in Harlem there are mostly black people, you see.
And while I’m thinking about it, Salon partially answered their own question earlier today in this piece (tipped to us by WTPWB’s biggest fan JEG, IV), describing in no uncertain terms the RNC’s fundraising strategy, which more or less boils down to jingoistic appeals to fear and difference. A PowerPoint presentation obtained by Politico and created by RNC Finance Director Rob Bickhart’s office describes the Republican rank-and-file as “Reactionary” and includes a slide titled “The Evil Empire“, which is littered with photographs of Obama. The Democratic Party’s response was venomous, as you can imagine.
Other attention-piquing items:
- The RNC self-applies the term “business” to describe its operation. You’d have a hard time getting away with that term on the left, I think (even though they’re essentially correct).
- If you attend a fundraising event, you’re likely to be given, and I quote, “Tchochkes!!!!!!!!!!” (thats 10 exclamation marks there, appearing more than once).
- There’s more space dedicated to Citizens United v. FEC than any other single thing in the document (with the exception of Tchochkes!!!!!!!!!!).

alright, lets relax. I love WTPWB fanatic CG as much as anyone, but reporting a story that salon stole from politico is hardly a ‘tip.’
