Charlie Rangel Robo Call telling me not to support Obama [View all] vaberella Jun 2012 OP

are you sure his office is funding it? repubs play dirty tricks like this... dionysus Jun 2012 #1

I don't know, nor do I know how to find out. n/t vaberella Jun 2012 #5

Pick up the phone. Call Charlie's Harlem office. ASK. MADem Jun 2012 #10

I haven't. But I will tell you this. I hate his office. vaberella Jun 2012 #29

You almost never speak to the principal--even if you KNOW him or her. MADem Jun 2012 #33

Riiight. How about Google? aquart Jun 2012 #16

Uh....did you read my post. The robo call is not against Rangel. vaberella Jun 2012 #26

Again. OBAMA is not running. Charlie is. This is a smear of Rangel. aquart Jun 2012 #31

Actually Obama is running. He's running for President this term. vaberella Jun 2012 #34

He is in a primary and your primary is soon (I think next Tues) dsc Jun 2012 #37

No Republican will win that district though--but it HAS been redistricted. MADem Jun 2012 #41

He is likely in trouble dsc Jun 2012 #48

I agree with that assessment. I think it's all down to GOTV and I dunno how good Charlie's MADem Jun 2012 #50

Don't stress for Rangel. vaberella Jun 2012 #56

Nope. It's not as strong a Dominican presence like 5 years ago. vaberella Jun 2012 #55

He won't. This is Harlem. Rangel owns us despite me wanting otherwise. vaberella Jun 2012 #54

NOT in the coming NY primary. aquart Jun 2012 #51

And again...this won't hurt Rangel. vaberella Jun 2012 #57

i'm kind of getting that vibe too. HiPointDem Jun 2012 #59

he's not funding or making a call against Obama, find out good info before you assume it's true CreekDog Jun 2012 #45

It could have been Audrie doing her impersonation. n/t Ian David Jun 2012 #2

+1 n/t Raine1967 Jun 2012 #17

What could possibly be in it for Rangel to do that? immoderate Jun 2012 #3

I haven't a clue. vaberella Jun 2012 #9

But Obama isn't running in the New York primary. Charlie is, though. aquart Jun 2012 #30

Again, Obama is running for Presidency this term. vaberella Jun 2012 #35

You are so smart --and you are falling for this? CreekDog Jun 2012 #46

I'm falling for this? I do believe I said I hung up the phone. Okay...read what you want. vaberella Jun 2012 #64

If you don't believe it and believe it is a sham, then why do you keep talking about its effects? CreekDog Jun 2012 #65

it's ridiculous. he'd be dead meat with the party. i can't believe you believe this. i think it's HiPointDem Jun 2012 #60

Not the longest day he lives would Charlie dis the top of the Democratic ticket. aquart Jun 2012 #4

That's my take too. nt MADem Jun 2012 #7

Did I say I fell for it? My hanging up before it finished I thought was a lead in. vaberella Jun 2012 #11

You seem to think it could be true, which is sad for you CreekDog Jun 2012 #47

Do you KNOW that came from Charlie's people--or was it "rat fucking" as Rove would say? MADem Jun 2012 #6

I haven't. I got the call about 5 minutes before I posted. vaberella Jun 2012 #13

Great--if you still have the caller ID details, pass those along. MADem Jun 2012 #20

Oh shoot...I do. How the hell do I pull that up? I will check online. n/t vaberella Jun 2012 #24

They should be recorded on your phone--just flip back through them. MADem Jun 2012 #27

Huh. I always deal with his NY office, maybe that's my problem. vaberella Jun 2012 #36

DC is always better for policy/wonk issues. I also think you get a better crack at constituent MADem Jun 2012 #43

I've read enough of your posts to know you will. Raine1967 Jun 2012 #21

Rat fucking is Nixon parlance longship Jun 2012 #25

Donald Segretti coined the phrase. MADem Jun 2012 #32

Sounds like a typical right-wing robo call... Drunken Irishman Jun 2012 #8

You'd think they'd quit this shit--the current AG isn't playing with those assholes anymore. nt MADem Jun 2012 #12

You'd think they could be locked up for slander or defemation of character? n/t vaberella Jun 2012 #15

More than that--they're engaging in fraud. nt MADem Jun 2012 #22

What would the right wing have to benefit from this? Freddie Stubbs Jun 2012 #66

Charlie Rangel would never do something like that. sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #14

I'm a liberal who thinks Rangel needs to retire and I don't like him. vaberella Jun 2012 #19

Charlie only has a few more years, you know. And you will NOT get a replacement with his power. MADem Jun 2012 #39

I love Charlie Rangel, he should never retire. He's a fighter and a true hero. sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #52

It has all the earmarks of the GOP MO. CBHagman Jun 2012 #18

Of course it was. Note that I said I hung up. vaberella Jun 2012 #23

I find it highly unlikely that the Rangel campaign would do this RZM Jun 2012 #28

If true, which is 99.9% unlikely, Rangel holds more prestige....I think than Obama. vaberella Jun 2012 #38

They flirt with that, but do they vote on that? RZM Jun 2012 #42

ugh CreekDog Jun 2012 #49

I live in Harlem and have canvassed in this neighborhood. vaberella Jun 2012 #53

you hung up, then you put it up here. the op reads like you believed rangel was doing it. HiPointDem Jun 2012 #62

I hope it's not Espaillat's work! nt MADem Jun 2012 #40

My first thought..... jaysunb Jun 2012 #44

which is why if this happened it's probably targeted to take rangel down, not obama. HiPointDem Jun 2012 #61

I don't believe that Rangel;s people are going to do robocalls telling people not to vote for the HiPointDem Jun 2012 #58

Not even a good attempt at taking a shot at a Democrat. nt NCTraveler Jun 2012 #63
