City Council honors Ethel Rosenberg for ‘great bravery’
NY POST ^ | September 29, 201 | Michael Gartland

Posted on 09/30/2015 8:11:09 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

Ethel Rosenberg, who was executed with her husband for treason in 1953, was honored Monday by the City Council on what would have been her 100th birthday.

Three council members joined Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer in issuing two proclamations lauding Rosenberg, a Lower East Side resident, for “demonstrating great bravery” in leading a 1935 strike against the National New York Packing and Supply Co., where she worked as a clerk.

The proclamations also said she was “wrongfully” executed for helping her husband, Julius, pass atomic secrets to the Soviet Union.

“A lot of hysteria was created around anti-communism and how we had to defend our country, and these two people were traitors and we rushed to judgment and they were executed,” said Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Queens).

No kidding

Marvin do you really want the death penalty for pot smokers

Marvin don’t come down south and try that

Friendly warning

Dixie is full of conservative tokers

And shazaam..,,, some are even Jews

They say y’all and drive pickups and hunt and eat BBQ even

If you can behave

I volunteer to be your chaperone

I think I could help you get beyond goyphobia

Wardaddys get down in Dixie tour

Guns ....girls in cutoffs....moonshine or some skunk if you wish or both....tailgate music....game day at Ole Miss at the Grove

Don’t freak out....they’re will be a kippah here and there

But you’ll have to hear Sweet Home Alabama several times a day

T-bone could take you to the Alamo or Goliad and again BBQ which in Texas is more kosher than in TN where piggies rule

So be nice

We have your best interests at heart

Is the NYC Council Communist?

Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were GUILTY!

I was only a little girl at the time of their arrest and trial, but I followed their case closely in the newspapers, the Reader’s Digest, over radio and on TV.

I even recall their executions!

At least she was an Honest Communist—who died for her belief in a better, World Socialist, Communist planet. Better than a lot of Liberals who would die for nothing—if it caused them any discomfort in their Ivory Towers. So, in a sense she was a Hero—just for the wrong cause.

“Marvin do you really want the death penalty for pot smokers”

You swallow any lie, don’t you wardaddy.

SHOW ME where I said that.

You can’t — but you swallow it whole.

What other outright lies do you swallow whole?

A probable fraud as well as a newbie. How many FReepers do not know who Bill O'Reilly is, or a LIV? This clown claims to not know from his earlier postings, who knows what other mistakes it made.

A DU troll that will soon trip up.

Robert and Michael Meeropol in the photo at the link are the Rosenbergs orphaned children. They were given to the care of other Communist friends of their parents, who raised another generation of Communists. Ethel and Julius made sure of that.

Remember when they took to the streets to protest the Eric Garner case? This was the same city council that demanded cops bust people selling “loosies” or single cigarettes. So they were protesting something THEY made cops to do, bust a guy for selling a single cigarette. 4 cops jumping on a guy for selling a single solitary cigarette. Like Ann Coulter said “Nothing comes between a liberal and taxes” So glad I moved the hell out of there, I grew up there and “escaped” 4 years ago. Best thing I ever did. I can barely read about that city today without getting nauseous.

Yes, here you go...They’re protesting something THEY created. THEY run the city with DeBlasio...

Didn’t they already do that in Paris?

Or did they name a street after him?
