Did Democrats Disrespect Charlie Rangel?

Soon as Congressman Rangel proposed reinstituting the draft, Democrats from Chuck Schumer to Nancy Pelosi, came out and squashed his idea. Schumer said it would die before it could get to the Senate and Pelosi gave a nice response how Rangel didn’t really mean it.

I think the whole thing is an embarrassing situation for Rangel. The way the responses took place it appeared to say, nobody takes him serious. It was like Democrats were treating Rangel like the little kid who wants to have a conversation with the adults. They humored him and then said, “ok let mommy and daddy talk now”.

If I was Rangel I would have been insulted.
