The LameStream Media won't say it, and elected Republicans won't say it, and Republican candidates won't say it. Few pundits will say it, but those of us at the grass roots can and do say it: Democrat party operatives and activists hate the military and hope for America's defeat in Iraq.
Rahm Emanuel, from many indications, is someone you do not want to forget to keep your eye on.
Rahm and Hillary, in my view, are two of the smartest deceivers in politics, and everything I have been able to find out about them makes me want to watch both of them ever more closely. The idea that they have political power to carry out their plans is most frightening to me (as well as their connections).
Examples follow:
Excerpts from a Rolling Stone article about Rahm Emanuel:
The Enforcer
Rep. Rahm Emanuel is leading the Democratic charge to retake the House next year. Will his old-school
combativeness rub off on his more timid colleagues? .....The answer depends, in many ways, on Rep. Rahm
Emanuel of Chicago.
For years, Emanuel was the political brains of Bill Clinton's White House. Intense to the point of ferocity,
...... "Clinton loved Rahm," recalls one staffer, "because he knew that if he asked Rahm to do something, he
would move Heaven and Earth -- not necessarily in that order -- to get it done."
........
Other Clinton veterans are even more pointed about Emanuel's assets. "He's got this big old pair of brass
balls, and you can just hear 'em clanking when he walks down the halls of Congress," says Paul Begala, who
served with Emanuel on Clinton's staff. "The Democratic Party is full of Rhodes scholars -- Rahm is a road
warrior. He's just what the Democrats need to fight back."
Friends and enemies agree that the key to Emanuel's success is his legendary intensity. There's the story
about the time he sent a rotting fish to a pollster who had angered him. There's the story about how his
right middle finger was blown off by a Syrian tank when he was in the Israeli army. And there's the story of
how, the night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up
at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a
list of betrayers, shouting "Dead! . . . Dead! . . . Dead!" and plunging the knife into the table after
every name. "When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape," one campaign veteran recalls. "It
was like something out of The Godfather. But that's Rahm for you."
Of the three stories, only the second is a myth -- Emanuel lost the finger to a meat slicer as a teenager
and never served in the Israeli army. But it's a measure of his considerable reputation as the enforcer in
Clinton's White House..........
