Here’s the full quote from Rep. Charles Rangel at his kick-off event that seemed to compare Wall Streeters who’ve caused the financial collapse to terrorists that I mentioned briefly in the previous post:

“If we’ve got to have a battle, if we’ve got to have a fight, if we’ve got to deal with terrorists, whether they’re in the Middle East or whether they’re in Wall Street, I could not find a better team to be working with than our political and our community team.”

The context was Rangel talking about how he votes based on doing “the right thing” and not checking in on politically expedient concerns, no matter what the legislation is, adding, “How lucky can I be when…all I have to do is do the right thing…And you know you can count on me (to) be on the right side (of various issues).”
