Rangel and the Draft, Pt. 2

By bringing up the draft, Rep. Rangel hoped to renew a real debate how frivously we fight wars, and who has to go fight them... only it's not working out that way. The headline-focused news is reported is making Rangel out to be a crazy person who loves the war and wants to send more kids to die. Should Rangel have seen that coming and not bothered this time around? That's my opinion, but others disagree. Here's what some have to say on this issue-

-Firedoglake: Do You Feel a Draft in Here?
-Glenn Greenwald: Following through on warmongering rhetoric
-Lawrence O'Donnell (HuffPo): Rangel is Right

(I gave my thoughts on this, and how the media covers Democrats, on Monday.)

UPDATE: Listen to Rep. Rangel discuss tax policy on 'Face The Nation'- here.
