Rahm Emanuel’s father was a member of the Irgun, fighting for Israeli independence.
Rahm was a ballerina.
His brother Dr. Ezekial Emanuel should be nicknamed “Dr Mengele”, the Nazi assigner of life or death (Mengele almost killed a late friend of mine but passed over on chosing her for experiments when he found out that she wasn’t a twin. Susie’s sister, and lookalike, her mother, and other members of the family died in Auschwitz. Only Susie survived).
Another brother is a Hollywood agent. Might not hold that against him since it is a legitimate job. Just wonder who he represents?
Axelrod. A lot of questions about whether his mother Myril worked for a Communist Party dominated publication “PM” magazine.
Nothing known about his father, who committed suicide at a rather young age.
However, Axelrod’s two political mentors, David S. Cantor and Don Rose were/are reds. Cantor took the Fifth when asked about his CP membership before HCUA. He was also a registered (and at times, illegal) agent for the Soviet Union in importing Soviet publications (both legit and propaganda). His partner, LeRoy Wolins, has been a lifelong red and still is.
Rose has admitted that his communist ties go back to the late 1940’s and the Progressive Party/Wallace movement (controlled by the CPUSA). He also has a significant list of CPUSA congressionally identified fronts and united fronts to his credit list.
PS: Cantor “knew” Barack Obama, but just how “much” is not known.
Birds of a feather crap all over each other.
