| | President Bush Is 'Our Bull Connor,' Harlem's Rep. Charles Rangel Claims - September 23, 2005 - The New York Sun |
 | | WASHINGTON - Comparing President Bush to the Birmingham, Ala., police commissioner whose resistance to the civil rights movement became synonymous with Southern racism, Rep. Charles Rangel said yesterday of the president: "George Bush is our Bull Connor." |
 | | Bush to the late Theophilus "Bull" Connor - who in 1963 turned fire hoses and attack dogs on fls, including Martin Luther King Jr., demonstrating in favor of equal rights - met with wild applause and cheering at a Congressional Black Caucus town hall meeting, part of the organization's 35th Annual Legislative Conference. |
 | | Yesterday's town hall meeting was a highlight of the four-day conference, which today will feature an anti-Iraq-war forum with a roving, protesting anti-war mother, Cindy Sheehan; a prominent New York fl activist, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and a former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Kweisi Mfume. |
